The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 354: Dream Building gives away the game for free! (ask for monthly pass)
Tens of thousands of new games are released around the world every year.

But if there are 30 works that really attract the attention of players, it can be considered a big year for gaming.

Zhumeng attracted 18 highly-regarded game studios to join it at once, while also abandoning Sony Game Station.

This is undoubtedly another big news that shakes the global gaming community!

Players are not stupid.

Things like "technical reasons", "lack of energy", "optimization difficulties"...it's obvious that they are all excuses.

I just don't want to break up with Sony, so I just want to leave a way out for both sides to save face.

The studios and games directly under the DreamZhu are not even pretending, they are directly exclusive to the DreamZhu game platform.

When the media and players saw this scene, they couldn't help but speculate: What conditions did DreamBuild offer these studios to make them jump ship so decisively?
Jumping ship at a time when Sony is in such a precarious situation is no different from stabbing someone in the back at the critical moment!

Sony's own first-party games have failed one after another, and now third-party studios are also cutting out.

If we can’t find a way to bring in some strong games to support the show.

This year, Sony's software business revenue will surely experience an avalanche!

This is not a question of whether the KPI can be achieved.

It is questionable whether the company can survive!

The hardware cannot be sold and the software cannot be updated.

How is this still playing?
At this point, the players suddenly realized:
Sony, the former leader in the console game field, seems to have been forced into a corner by DreamWorks!
"For the first time, I felt it so clearly: Money is not everything, only because we don't have enough money..."

"Yes, DreamBuilder must have spent a lot of money to make these studios give up logging into Sony Game Station!"

"No buddy, you're not really going to die, are you? I still have over 200 games on my account!"

"By the way, if Sony really goes bankrupt, will all the games on the account be lost?"

"Shit, not only has the game library been cleared, but new games can at least be played on other platforms, but what about those old exclusive games? Will they never be played again?"

"Don't do this kind of thing! Boss Xu, can you please be more kind?"

"Or, why not let Boss Xu acquire Sony!"

"@Xu Meng, @Zhu Meng, Boss Xu! Come out and say something!"

……

Most players don't care much about Sony itself.

To die is to die.

甚至这两年新力干了很多恶心人的事儿——比如同样60刀的游戏，别人在夏国卖248/268/298，新力就能卖到400。

And it was neither 400 yuan nor 420 yuan, but coincidentally 414, which is extremely unlucky in the Xia language.

This made many domestic players feel very disgusted.

Now I am so happy to see that Sony is pushed into the kill line by Dream.

On that day, some people ran to the gate of Sony Xiaguo branch to open champagne to celebrate.

But it has to be said that it is understandable that many Sony users are reluctant to give up so many digital games in their accounts.

Even many of these people are loyal users of DreamZhu.

When they posted petitions in Mengjin, they always posted their own krypton gold records in Dream Building at the beginning to avoid being criticized by uninformed netizens.

As these petition posts became more popular, Xu Meng naturally noticed them.

He did not respond to these voices directly, but instead used another extremely useful trick.

……

……

3 month 20 day.

When the VR version of "Nations" was officially launched on the DreamCraft game platform, causing a frenzy in the second-party game circle, DreamCraft also issued a special announcement:

[The number of registered users of the Dream Building Game Platform has officially exceeded 4 million worldwide! ]
[Thank you for your care and support along the way! ]
[In the next 30 days, the Dream Building Game Platform will give a game to all users every day to thank everyone for their support and companionship! ]
[After 30 days, we will continue to send out one item per week and continue to provide benefits to everyone until the end of this year!]
[At 0:5 tonight, the first game will be given away: Forza Motorsport ! ]——
Released along with the announcement was a large red poster with a big “4 million” written in brilliant gold.

This poster was drawn by Ding Nian himself.

She felt that [4 million] alone did not seem powerful enough, so she wrote [400000000] below it.

That long string of zeros looks very imposing.

People working in the gaming industry were indeed shocked when they saw this congratulatory picture.

Everyone knows that the user growth of DreamZhu is very rapid.

But no one has a concrete idea of ​​how powerful it is.

Before this, the estimate was around 1 million, and that was the total number of players estimated for Project Frost, Lord of War, and Monster Hunter, without any deduplication.

But now, Zhumeng just raised his hand and threw out a picture to celebrate 4 million users!
This really scared everyone.

In terms of the number of users alone, this is already the highest number in the industry.

Vapour, a PC gaming platform that has been deeply involved in the gaming field for many years, has a similar number.

But how long did it take Vapour to get to this point?

23 years!
How long did it take to build the dream?
Less than 1 year!
——In fact, due to the existence of the sprawling city, this number is quite inflated.

Many users register at first just to join in the fun.

Even if they stay, they just treat it as a digital community. They go online to sing, dance, meet friends, and watch the noisy players.

There is no strong demand to buy games.

There are also netizens who registered accounts during the Chinese New Year to grab red envelopes, and then rarely come online after grabbing them...

In actual calculations, pure game users account for only about one-third.

After all, there are too few games on the Dream Building Game Platform.

Xu Meng plans to give away games and attract new studios to join, which is also to make up for this shortcoming to a certain extent.

But this is a shortcoming in dream building, but an opportunity for developers!
After seeing this number, many colleagues even began to doubt - maybe it doesn't cost too much for DreamHub to win over those game studios.

As long as the user data is placed in front of them, no one can resist this temptation!

On one side is New Energy, which has been driven half to death by DreamWorks, and on the other side is DreamWorks, a rising company with unlimited potential. "Jumping ship" is not an option at all.

Only a fool wouldn't jump!
As if to confirm their guess.

The 18 game studios forwarded this congratulatory picture and congratulated DreamCraft.

I even brought out the protagonist of the new game and drew a congratulatory picture to celebrate the realization of my dream.

This was obviously well prepared.

Domestic game companies also followed suit, almost vying to express congratulations to DreamBuilder.

……

The change in the game company's attitude towards dream building is still somewhat reserved.

The players are different.

In the comment section of the announcement, players expressed their feelings:
"father!"

"Father!"

"I won't say anything more. From now on, Xu Meng is my big brother!"

"First, we'll give you 30 models in a row, and then another 7 models in the next 30 months! So generous!"

"As expected of Dream Building, I can only say it's so awesome and so rich!!!"

"Forza 5, the lowest price ever is $124! Say thank you to your godfather!"

“I just ordered from Vapour yesterday!! I played for two hours!”

"So this is Boss Xu's way of comforting Sony users? Sorry, your account is going to be invalid. I'll give you some games as compensation."

"I can only say that Boss Xu is so kind!"

……

After Xu Meng's move, the players could only sing praises.

The player who approached Xu Meng to ask what to do with the games in his Sony account quickly disappeared.

Even because of this strategy of giving away games, the growth rate of new users, which had been slowing down, began to speed up again!
Combined with the incremental growth brought by the VR version of "Nations", the new user data is quite considerable.
-
As soon as 0:5 passed that day, Zhumeng delivered "Forza Motorsport " to all users on time.

But something happened that surprised the platform operations department employees:

The claim rate of this game is very high, but the download rate is quite low.

——In just over an hour, more than 3000 million users claimed this game.

But the number of users who actually download and open the game is less than 1%!
And for the core users of Dream Building who use the Fantasy Game Suite, the opening rate is terribly low!
Not even one in ten thousand!
This phenomenon also continued with "Rose Blade" given out on the second day, "The Great War" given out on the third day, and "Mycelium Apocalypse" given out on the fourth day.

These games have different themes and release times, but they are all highly praised by players.

The inventory rate is also very impressive.

But the download rate is so low that it is unbearable to look at.

Especially for core users, the opening rate has been so low that the platform operation department staff cannot understand it!
