Chapter 0956 games that don't make money
The latest generation of Play-Box 5 game console has been installed in the office of the test department, which is equipped with an external 60-inch 8K large screen and a complete set of stereo sound systems. The overall gaming experience is obviously much better than the previous trial of Han Lan with the laptop they sent in the office.
It can also bring the picture quality and sound effects of this 3A masterpiece to the extreme.
"Mr. Han, how are you? Isn't that bad?" Wu Guiyuan sat next to him and asked with a smile.
"Well, it feels very good. This kind of game really needs to be equipped with hardware to play it happily."
"Well, we have been talking to the two major console game manufacturers in the world for a long time, and finally we have finished the negotiation." Wu Guiyuan smiled.
"Isn't it easy to talk about?" Han Lan asked.
"It's not easy to talk about. It's not just a console game, but also took a lot of time to negotiate with major game platforms on the PC side. The main reason is that we only require that the official version be launched and log in with the Tomahawk game account. In fact, many platforms have not agreed to this one yet."
Han Lan nodded: "But this point must be adhered to. Only by using our own account can we regulate it in a unified manner. Even if we give it a little bit of profit, we must persist."
"Well, I know Mr. Han." Wu Guiyuan nodded and responded.
He knew Han Lan’s intention.
Various game platforms around the world have their own accounts. Basically, the games downloaded on any platform are logged in with the account of that platform by default, and there are even special servers. In other words, sometimes the same game downloaded on two different platforms cannot be played together.
The supervision and review of player accounts by different platforms is definitely different. In fact, no platform can achieve strict real-name supervision like Tomahawk Games.
Therefore, if this is released, the real-name system that Tomahawk Game has vigorously promoted before will be useless.
Many game platforms actually reject this. It will hit players too hard and easily affect game sales, and to a certain extent it will lead users of their own platform to the Tomahawk game platform.
The most important thing is that logging in with the Tomahawk Game account is just a superficial phenomenon. Inside, you have to go through the Tomahawk Game channel. The money is directly paid to the Tomahawk Game account, and then the Tomahawk Game will be divided into the Tomahawk Game platform. The platform is equivalent to only providing one game download channel, and the rest is completely in the Tomahawk Game. The master becomes a worker overnight.
This directly breaks traditional rules, and it is impossible for normal game platforms to accept this "unequal treaty".
Therefore, since the launch of "Puppet Masters Alliance", it can only be downloaded through official channels, and it cannot be found on some mainstream game platforms. However, it has little impact on computer games. At worst, there are fewer channels. Just search online. Players may not necessarily say that they need to download from these game platforms to play.
There is no way to play console games, but these console game manufacturers cannot avoid them because even the machines that play games are made by others, and they cannot play them without authorization.
So? Tomahawk Game can only make concessions in terms of share? It took a long time to talk about the two major game consoles.
"How is the sales of computers that have been launched now?" Han Lan asked.
"As of yesterday, the total domestic and foreign sales have just exceeded 5 million copies." Wu Guiyuan said with a wry smile.
"That's not bad. After deducting various taxes, why did you have more than 800 million yuan in income? You made a profit. And it's just been on the shelves for more than a week? The results are very good." Han Lan said with a smile.
"Mr. Han, but compared to "Puppet Master Alliance"? This game is really not profitable. "Puppet Master Alliance" earned more than 300 million yuan by selling a skin, and the investment in game research and development is much less than "Fengshen". I understand why domestic game manufacturers prefer online games..."
"Take it slow? Just think it's earning foreign exchange. We can't just do online games forever? We have to be a little tough guy who can show off our muscles!" Han Lan comforted.
Wu Guiyuan nodded. Although he complained, he also knew that this kind of 3A masterpiece must be made.
Because Han Lan has already drawn a direction for them in the future of Tomahawk Games, which is virtual reality games. Even Tomahawk Group has invested in advance in hardware? Will even prepare game equipment to be built by itself in the future? It is equivalent to the "future version" console game.
This highly substitutable game and immersive experience can be said to be the future of 3A masterpieces. If the Tomahawk game cannot even do 3A masterpieces well, you won’t be able to do these things in the future.
"By the way, Mr. Han? Let me show you a new thing." Wu Guiyuan suddenly thought of something, smiled and asked his assistant to bring the laptop over to show it to Han Lan.
"What?"
"Mr. Han? You really didn't follow our official website." Wu Guiyuan joked.
Han Lan smiled embarrassedly. He was very busy in Yanjing for a while? Where can I get the time to go on the official website of the Battle Axe Game?
Wu Guiyuan opened a new game on the desktop, which showed the familiar ink painting style.
"This is……"
"Hahaha? We bought the copyright of "Hua Guo Poetry Cloud" from Tomahawk animation? Then we adapted it into a puzzle puzzle game. We didn't invest much money or made much money. We mainly helped the children understand these ancient poems, and the reputation is quite good at the moment." Wu Guiyuan said, while opening the main page of the game to show Han Lan the player's comments.
All the five-star reviews were seen in the row, and many of them were written as parents. They were probably younger parents, who were players of the Tomahawk game. After seeing it, they downloaded it for their children to play. Anyway, the game is free, and it will not be a loss to play.
After watching it, Han Lan nodded with satisfaction: "It's pretty good, but this game style should still take a certain age to appreciate, right?"
"Well, so we have recently been making several mini games for different age groups, as well as some parent-child interaction games. Anyway, the investment is not big, so it's good to think that it's adding some platform inventory. Otherwise, every time we open the platform of our Tomahawk game, the two games, "Puppet Master Alliance" and "Fengshen" will look too miserable."
"Hahaha……"
"But the main business should be done well. Just do as much as possible with education and entertainment. This statement itself is unrealistic. Games are games, and relaxation is still the main one. It is good if we can ensure that we have a positive view of the three views. Don't bring so many private goods. This kind of game with a strong educational nature can be customized in cooperation with relevant departments and institutions."
"Well, I understand Mr. Han, we will do these businesses separately."
