This time, all game manufacturers can't sit still.
The proud achievements of Warcraft 3 have attracted all people in the industry to the platform of steam game online store. And Daqian's attitude is very good. Anyone can enter this game platform without any threshold. At most, it is to review the game content.
Even this time, Daqian does not prohibit spam games from landing on its own platform. As long as the game is not completely banned or involves serious problems, you can directly log on to the online store platform.
Will this hurt the player's feelings?
Of course not. As the price of not reviewing junk games, the steam game store has launched a three-day guarantee. Any player can choose an unconditional refund after buying the game. In this way, all the money spent will be automatically returned to the player's account.
Of course, what comes back is steam and water droplets. It's impossible to want cash.
In addition, there are some differences between steam water droplets and steam points, which will be described in detail later.
In this way, players will not feel cheated by their wallet because of junk games.
Some people may think that such rules are too exaggerated. What if everyone is a white whoring party and has played for three days and has a direct refund whether it's fun or not?
In this regard, Daqian stipulates that players who have made unconditional refunds for more than six times within half a year will be automatically listed to limit their accounts. After purchasing all games, they must communicate with customer service and pass the audit before they can make a refund.
In fact, the number of such players is really small. Take steam for example. According to the data released by them, the players who really rely on refunds to whore for nothing account for only about 1% of the total.
In fact, players who are willing to buy genuine games will have no bad character.
To get back to business, Warcraft 3 · governance of chaos has indeed perfectly undertaken the goal of bait needed by boss Jia. Seeing the amazing sales of Warcraft 3, countless game developers have completely abandoned their concerns and applied to Daqian to put the game on the online game store for sales.
Then the number of games in the steam online game store began to increase crazily with the naked eye, from the initial hundreds of games to thousands, and then 2000.
A month later, the number of games owned by the platform has exceeded 4000, and the number of these games is still increasing. More and more small game companies are aware of the value of steam online game store for their products, which makes them eager to join this new sales channel.
On the 21st day of the launch of Warcraft 3, Warcraft 3 made a historic achievement, that is, the sales volume of the whole network exceeded 20 million copies, and the speed is still the first in all PC games.
On this day, Daqian game and Blizzard game jointly issued an announcement.
There are three main contents in this announcement. The first is to celebrate that the sales volume has exceeded 20 million copies. All players who have purchased the game can directly get a free DLC as a gift on the Internet.
This DLC is an additional battle level that allows players to experience the process of making frost sorrow from the first perspective of the Lich King naiozu.
The Hongmeng version of the game also enjoys an additional benefit, that is, it can have a special unit of the golden wolf knight. The as like as two peas of the wolf wolf, the golden wolf knight and the normal wolf Knight are exactly the same, that is, the shape is completely golden and very cool. This is only an additional benefit of the Hong Meng version.
The second main content is to announce to all players that the Warcraft film has been officially approved, shot by Daqian film, and is expected to be released within three years.
The film will abandon the plot of Warcraft part I and part II and directly start with the end of the natural disaster in part III, showing the process of a generation of paladin Arthas gradually becoming the Lich King in the film world.
The last main content is Daqian's announcement that it will take the initiative to return all steam points to all players who have purchased Warcraft 3 in the past and in the future.
6900 points, a lot of points, all refunds.
Let all players play the whole game in vain, but the points of these Steam games are limited. They are called steam water drops and can only be used to buy games with water drop signs in stores.
This announcement can be said to make all players very excited, and then shout long live the steam game store.
All players did not expect that Daqian was so bold and heroic that he returned all steam game points. You know, this is a sales volume of 20 million copies. If you change it into US dollars, it is a sales volume of US $1.38 billion.
As a result, Daqian said he would retreat and directly retreat to all players. This is an unprecedented thing and can be called the first conscience in the world.
Moreover, this benefit is not only for players who have purchased Warcraft 3. In the future, all players can enjoy this refund fee, which is equivalent to giving a top PC game to all players for free.
It's unbelievable.
The other two benefits, though not all the same, are all exaggerated, but it is very awesome to send a DLC operation.
However, some players who have purchased the physical version are very depressed. Players of the online version can directly connect to the network cable to download and update DLC, but if they want to get this free DLC, they need to find a way to connect their computers to the Internet, or go to the steam store and buy DLC discs for $2.
Fortunately, if you have a USB flash disk, the steam game store can also copy the DLC installation package to you for free and install it on your computer.
Daqian game is perfect for all players.
As for the movie version of Warcraft 3, many players are more excited. They have long been completely attracted by the plot of Warcraft 3, and they have long been looking forward to seeing the special effects blockbuster of Warcraft 3 in the movie.
Unexpectedly, after only waiting for half a month, the news of this blockbuster came.
Alas, the world of Warcraft players are so happy. Compared with the players who waited for 14 years in the previous life before waiting for the movie version, they are so happy!
What's more, players can directly see the plot of the rule of chaos, instead of the initial plot that players in another world don't understand at all. Only the first generation of Warcraft players have seen, so they don't even see a familiar character of Warcraft 3... Well, except Medivh.
What's more sad is that because of the sudden death of the box office of Warcraft films, players may not be able to see Arthas lifting the sad scene of frost all their life. This is simply the biggest nightmare of all Warcraft players.
