Developing A 3A Game With A Buyout System, Goose Factory Exploded

"This year, from January to now, the total output value of the entire industry is 910.7 billion yuan.

"Compared to last year's 401.8 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 226.55%."

"B....."

"In this growth, the performance of Star Games accounts for the vast majority, and our Goose Factory, so far this year, has a total revenue of only 202.2 billion yuan, which is almost halved compared to last year's 310.7 billion yuan!"

“Last year, the revenue of our goose factory alone accounted for more than 60% of the entire market, literally half of the country.

"but now..…………"

"The vast majority of our revenue comes from mobile games."

"Although our position in MOBA and shooting, the two most popular multiplayer competitive game fields, is still solid, facts have proven that Gao Ruhuo's competitive and leisure products are our basic base and moat."

“However, the solid fundamentals cannot cover up the embarrassing reality that our new products this year have misfired on a large scale.

"Especially in terms of client games, we have almost been completely wiped out this year, and our total revenue so far is less than 5 billion."

"This result makes it seem like we are not living in 2022, but in 2002!"

"Even for several games in it, in terms of revenue, the output value is actually negative 25!!!"

Inside the Goose Factory office,

At the end of each quarter,

There will be a meeting like this.

Discuss what results we achieved in the past quarter and what we will do in the next quarter.

In the past,

These reports or meetings are nothing more than a formality.

They account for half of the entire gaming industry.

This is this year,

This quarter's financial statements almost fell off a cliff.

Lower every time.

The expression on his face also went from high-spirited to full of sadness!

After listening to the other party's report, Mr. Ma closed his eyes for a long time.

throughout the conference room,

It was quiet.

Even half a year ago,

They still disdain the Star Game Studio, including their so-called buyout games.

How can an ant shake a giant?

that time,

Goose Factory is a giant in the gaming industry.

Occupying half of the entire gaming market, they are considered giants around the world.

But now,

The entire client gaming market has dropped to freezing point.

This is no longer winter,

It is no longer possible to even break even, and now it is still maintaining the update and operation of the game, which is completely impossible even if it is burning money.

At this time

,

Mr. Ma opened his eyes,

Under gold-rimmed glasses,

A pair of eyes, somewhat cold.

"Do you have specific revenue data for Starry Sky?"

In front of the big screen,

Wang Yexing shook his head: "They are not a listed company, so we can't get specific content. We can only judge the approximate revenue through the sales of the game, but there is no way to know the actual profits."

Mr. Ma crossed his arms and put them on his chin.

The two index fingers kept tapping.

"So what's the number?"

Wang Yexing closed the PPT, opened the official website of the Star Game Platform, and at the same time clicked on another form file.

above,

Sequence of stars game,

All the games released so far and... their sales and prices.

"Resident Evil 1": 57 million

"Resident Evil 2": 87.3 million

"Resident Evil 3": 49.2 million

"Resident Evil 4": 189 million

"Grand Theft Auto: Vice City": 207 million

"Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy": 13.7 million

"Legend of Sword and Fairy 1": 51.2 million

"The Road to Survival": 32.7 million

Mount & Blade: Warband: 197 million

(Because it has not been updated for a while, some of the data saved previously can no longer be found, so the sales volume of the game will be based on the current figures. Readers are welcome to check it out.)

This is so far,

All games published by Star Games.

and,

These games are all from this year,

only,

On the game's official website, the game's sales can only be accurate to the sixth digit.

The specifics cannot be viewed at all.

In one is,

Some games are divided into standard editions, deluxe editions [collector's editions, etc.].

The price of each version is different,

There is also the game "Mount and Blade", which also includes the paid DLC "Three Kingdoms".

The specific sales volume inside,

They couldn't find it at all.

Therefore, all figures can only be based on the selling price of the standard version, which is a rough estimate of the overall revenue.

However, such figures are destined to be far different from reality.

Not to mention,

They think that developing games requires huge costs and investments.

Bate.....

Han An direct zero cost.

How much money you sell is how much money you make.

The only thing in the middle is to pay a tax.

But Han An is a good law-abiding citizen and never does any tax evasion.

The game has already been developed in the early hours of the morning. If you are trying to evade taxes, are you still a human being?

"So, how much is the income from this achievement?"

"Over... more than 600 billion, and this still does not include the sales of deluxe editions and DLC.

"Heh...huh...

After hearing this result,

Mr. Ma took a deep breath.

But having held a high position for many years has made him now indifferent to emotion and anger.

only,

The gloominess on his face cannot be hidden if he wants to.

Half a year!

Just over half a year!

Such a big change happened before and after. How could this make Mr. Ma so depressed?

this kind of thing

In fact, it’s not like it’s never happened before.

But in the past,

Those dark horses that appear, whenever there is a hot game.

In their goose factory, they can imitate and plagiarize things in a blink of an eye.

Then relying on the huge user base owned by Goose Factory, they crushed him one after another.

Or,

They can also rely on betrothal gifts,

Directly acquire the other party's entire game company,

The game will not be theirs in the future.

Who knew something like this would pop up now.

While he was deep in thought,

Wang Yexing came over and whispered: "Mr. Ma, according to our data this year, the current number of game users in the country is 660 million, a slight increase of 0.22% compared to last year.

"The growth of this number has almost proved that the number of player users across the country has already reached saturation."

"In this case, the only way for sales growth is to further increase single-user payment."

Mr. Ma raised his head and looked at him indifferently: "But now, the data you gave me is that the PC game market has been completely occupied by Star Games, and the current income is entirely supported by mobile games."

Wang Yexing nodded and said: "Mr. Ma, if you put aside the revenue method of buyout games, although Starry Sky's games are far beyond our level in all aspects, this is both an advantage and a disadvantage."

Mr. Ma nodded: "You continue."

“The advantages are self-explanatory, but the disadvantages are also very obvious, that is, the computer configuration requirements are very high!”

"According to our survey, ranked among biohazards, the number of Internet cafes that can handle biohazards on the current market is only 27%. This is not yet the start of high configuration and light chasing. If it is further improved, this number will There will be less.

"But this is still an Internet cafe. The general configuration of ordinary users' home computers will only be worse."

"So this is also the reason why mobile games have awakened in recent years."

"In terms of configuration, in today's fast-paced society, it will take at least dozens of hours to complete a game like this, but it only takes more than ten minutes to play a mobile game."

"So, in terms of the mobile game market, we don't need to worry at all. As for client games, what we have to do is cut off those meaningless skinned products."

"Then integrate R&D resources and concentrate on high investment to develop full-platform products for the world. Although the R&D cycle and investment of such head products will rise to a new level, whether it is to restore our reputation or anything else, it will definitely It’s something where the pros outweigh the cons.”
