The next day, the steam game online store was just opened, and the first batch of goods in the store were all on the shelves. Many players in the game circle were curious to log in to the website to see how the website was.
Then these people can't help covering their pockets. There are many games on this website. Thousands of family buckets are there, and there are many games, all of which are 20% off. People can't help but want to do it!
Of course, most of them have focused on Warcraft 3 · rule of chaos, which is claimed to be produced by boss Jia. They want to see how Warcraft 3 · rule of chaos is.
In addition, there are many staff of game manufacturers, even the boss directly entered the steam game online store. They want to see whether the steam online game store can be recognized by all players.
What's more, the number of online users is also displayed on the website. At about 8 a.m., more than 10000 people are online at the same time.
This number seems small, but it is exaggerated for a website on the first day of opening.
And by 8:30 a.m., the number will become 30000. By 9 a.m., 50000 people will be online.
"If Daqian doesn't lie, the data is really..." the chairman of EA, who is staring at the website, whispered. He cares about the steam game online store very much.
He can't wait to sell his games in this online store, but he has a more exciting idea.
This steam game online store, frankly speaking, is just a website. For a huge EA, it is not difficult to build such a website.
If Daqian can sell games with a website, why can't EA also build a website?
In this case, where there is still 30% of the revenue to Daqian, EA can swallow all the game sales revenue alone.
Thinking of this, the chairman of EA was even more excited, but he still had to make sure that it was a reliable idea to sell stand-alone games on the Internet.
Just as the chairman was thinking about it, the phone on his desk rang, and he naturally picked up the phone. On the other end of the phone was his secretary.
The Secretary quickly said a few words, and his face immediately showed a surprised expression, "what, 10 games have been sold!"
In order to do the experiment, Hawkins decided to do the experiment on the steam game store. However, in order not to affect the sales of the company's important games, Hawkins is a game called simulated city, which has not been popular and has just been launched recently.
This game was opened for sale at 8 o'clock this morning. Unexpectedly, 100 copies have been sold.
This figure seems small, but Hawkins thought that none of this game could be sold.
"Chairman, the money has arrived on our company's website account, and we can choose to withdraw it at any time! On the premise that our bank supports us!" the secretary then reported that although it may take 48 hours to withdraw it these days, there is no doubt that the money can be reflected in his account at any time, which made Hawkins a little excited, The money arrives much faster than before.
Of course, after all, cash withdrawal is a very troublesome thing these days. You need to go to the bank to handle business in person, so all businesses only have the opportunity to withdraw cash once a month, so as to avoid repeated cash withdrawal and waste of manpower.
This point can be well solved in Huaxia later. All banks have fully realized the digital transfer process, but it has not been completely solved in the United States.
The reason is very simple, because American banks are basically private. If individuals want to realize barrier free transfer, it involves too many interests.
On the contrary, one order can make all banks act at the same time, and all banks can cooperate closely.
This is why it was said before that in western countries like the US and Europe, recharge cards still have a large number of markets, because the transactions are really too cumbersome. Apart from a few banks, the people of the American nation can not directly transfer money through banks directly, and what what Alipay does not exist.
"This online store of Steam games seems to be really available!" Hawkins thought, and then the page of the whole website shook. A message crossed the full screen at the top of the page. "Warcraft 3 · governance of chaos trial version" has been opened for download. Click this link to directly download the trial version and experience the charm of Warcraft 3! "
"Open the trial version one hour in advance!" this operation surprised Hawkins. This operation of open trial version can only be carried out at game exhibitions such as E3. It is impossible to open any trial version at other times.
Because if the trial version is given to players, there is no profit at all, but it also needs equipment such as recording, CD and so on. It is a completely uneconomical business, so no game manufacturer will make a trial version.
But for the steam game online store, it seems different. After all, the trial version is only a package. There is no loss in trying it.
"I want to see what this world of Warcraft 3 is!" Hawkins himself, as a loyal game lover, is naturally curious about this amazing world of Warcraft 3.
When Hawkins entered the page, according to the constantly refreshed data on the page, more than 20000 players chose to download the trial version.
Since the play version is open, Hawkins naturally chose to download without hesitation. This trial version is not big, only more than 50 MB. Hawkins' network is naturally the best network in the company. It has a single broadband of 50MB. For Hawkins, it is less than 2 minutes. The whole trial version is directly installed on the computer.
"How fast!" Hawkins sighed when he saw the icon of Warcraft 3 trial version lying quietly on the desktop.
This is, he has realized the charm of online game sales. He doesn't need to go out, walk, queue, wait, and stay at home to make a cup of coffee. The game just released today has been installed on the computer.
"Let me see what is sacred about Warcraft 3!" Hawkins entered the game.
