Chapter 180 178. Can this game make money?!(2/2)
The next day, the sales volume of Jindian Troupe exceeded 130,000...
This number continues to rise.
However, Cao Yang found that some scalpers have already started to sell activation codes online.
This mode is also very simple, because many players buy game CDs but may not necessarily share the activation code. At this time, scalpers can acquire them at a low price and then sell them to those in need.
However, the upper limit is also obvious. You cannot sell it more than 1/3 of the game disc, so no player is willing to buy activation codes from you. Therefore, even if the scalpers get a lot of activation codes at a price of 1 yuan or less than 5 yuan, the selling price can only be maintained below 12 yuan.
The scalpers in China are really terrible.
Even such a small profit will take up.
There was no such problem in the island country before.
Cao Yang didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Because Chinese are really the most cost-effective and good at doing business in the world, but when you are facing such a group, the future path is not easy.
...
But then I thought about it, Cao Yang felt that these players were really stupid. Why should I buy activation codes with scalpers? A few classmates gathered together to buy CDs, and everyone could get exemptions. Isn’t this more pleasant than buying activation codes with scalpers?
In fact, a considerable number of players get activation codes, just to obtain test qualifications and do not want to buy game CDs. They can play games in Internet cafes. For this group of players, the cost is smaller than buying CDs.
Therefore, in fact, the number of CDs sold through activation codes is much smaller than the number of activation codes issued.
...
On November 27, it finally came the day before the game was released.
The number of activation codes that have been activated by "Jin Dance Group" is about 1.3 million.
The official statistics of the number of CDs sold is 680,000.
This means that a large number of players only bought activation codes to obtain test qualifications.
Cao Yang felt a little heartbroken, and there were so many benefits. It seemed that the sales of CDs were amazing, and in the end, the sales of CDs were so low.
With all the calculations, the sales revenue of CDs is about 20 million.
After deducting the cost, this thing doesn't seem to be profitable.
...
At the same time, on Xishanju, the developers of Jianwang 1 were already waiting in front of the computer.
In fact, it is not just Xishanju, but also other peers in the industry.
After several big sales, Bomi's new games have become a weather vane in the industry.
Boss Cao's almost 0 failures in the gaming industry is simply a myth.
Therefore, every time Bomi releases a new game, it will naturally attract a wave of widespread attention.
Especially this time, "The Dance Team".
For people in the industry, they can't figure out why Bomi wants to make such a thankless game.
First of all, when you are working on an online dance machine, you have to obtain authorization from major music companies first. Otherwise, the music library is limited and players can't dance a few songs at all, so the life of the game will naturally be greatly reduced.
in addition--
The number of people who like dancing machines is still a mystery.
Anyway, people in the industry are not optimistic.
The reason given by Sun Hongyin, the producer of Jianwang 1 on Xishanju is very simple—
In reality, few people like to play with dancing machines, and most of the people who like to play dancing machines are girls. They play dancing machines for three minutes and may just taste it at first, but they gave up soon.
Just such a player base, isn’t it because of death when working as an online dancer?
...
There is a mature project establishment and development mechanism in the game industry, which is—
First, find the target user first, that is, look at the user base of the game, and then consider whether there is profitable before the project is established.
Then we enter the development process...
In fact, what Sun Hongyin said is correct, because in reality, there are quite a few people who like to play dancing machines.
If it weren't for the fact that the girl group in Bangzi Country had a strong enough influence and had a strong fan base, they probably wouldn't have thought of making such a game.
But Cao Yang's views are completely different.
Because others have never seen the Jin Dance Troupe, he has seen it. It would be too narrow to equate the Jin Dance Troupe with a dancing machine.
In fact, the dance troupe and the dance machine are completely different things.
Dance machines are used to exercise the body, while Dance Team is used to socialize.
Light, casual, cool, and powerful social attributes are the core of the Dance Group.
So Cao Yang was full of confidence in this game.
...
On November 27, at 12 noon, "The Dance Team" was officially launched.
This time, Cao Yang did not choose the underworld time because the activation code is completely controllable. How many activation codes you send out will eventually determine how many players will come in.
The number of activation codes determines the player's upper limit.
In other words, the number of players entering the server today will not exceed 1.3 million.
Therefore, when you are prepared, there is no need to open a service in the underworld, and Liu Guangran is completely controllable.
As soon as the server was opened, players immediately rushed in.
...
"Huh?" After playing for a while, a planner from Xishanju suddenly turned around and said in surprise, "Boss, I don't seem to find where the game points are?"
"Hey? It's really hey!"
Once reminded, everyone seemed to have encountered a ghost hitting a wall, and their faces were full of strange expressions.
Damn it, it's too terrible. Could it be that Bomi's new game does not require a card charge?
How difficult is it to find something that everyone thinks is impossible to exist?
The colleagues at Xishanju, who had a total of dozens of people, searched for two hours, but couldn't find the game's points.
"this……"
It is chilling about not finding the remaining points mark in online games.
It's even more terrifying than meeting a ghost.
"Mom! Could it be that Bomi's game really doesn't require a card, right?"
The most terrifying thing is that this wave of exemption is not the most sultry one.
Because Bomi launched the new online game "Jin Dance Group" this time, it is a game that can be played unlimitedly without any point card purchases.
In addition to the initial CD installation fee, it can be said that it is completely free.
The colleagues at Xishanju were completely shocked-
The discs of the Jin Dance Group are so cheap.
The game itself has no numerical growth, and the official does not sell game attributes.
Only some avatars are sold in the game mall, but the prices are very cheap, ranging from 50 cents to one piece.
Everyone looked at each other and was stunned by Bomi's actions.
Can this game make money?!
