Chapter 263

Mod editor is very easy to do, id software game company did not take a few days to do it. Then it will be released to firefly game platform for players to download.

Firefly game platform for this also added some new features - mod community.

Official propaganda: "download" destroyer "mod editor, players can freely edit levels and props! Every time a mod is made, players can release it to the mod community of "destroyer" and provide you with download to play the game! If the number of downloads is large and has commercial value, firefly game company will sign a contract with the mod producer to share 1% of the mod module's revenue! "

"After signing the contract, firefly game company will promote it in mod community and make profits by downloading and charging! Each mod download costs US $1. If the download volume reaches one million, the mod producer will get us $10000! "

"Fun and money, welcome to participate in the" destroyer "mod production

The news spread quickly and caused great repercussions!

Internet cafes, school computer rooms and other places, countless players yelled excitedly!

"Wow, players can create their own game levels, so cool!"

"Oh, just like God, you can create everything in it!"

"Ha ha, I'm going to make a super difficult level so that everyone can't pass it!"

"Hehe, can we build tanks? If you can drive a tank in destroyer, it will be a blockhouse

“……”

Before long, the number of mod Editor Downloads of "destroyer" increased sharply, which almost broke the server. Fortunately, the use of P2P download technology, slow down the pressure on the server!

One hour after the emergence of the mod community function, "destroyer" mod editor has been downloaded by tens of thousands of people! During this period, some powerful players, who are also programmers or game designers, immediately understand how to use mod editor to edit all kinds of game content! In the "destroyer" column of mod community, mod produced by more than 100 players has been uploaded.

With the emergence of mod, "destroyer" is becoming more and more popular. Various mods enrich the content of the game and make the game more interesting. It's really fun to play! For a moment, the fire of "destroyer" can no longer be on fire.

Many Internet cafes are open 24 hours a day.

Even if it's all night, there's no vacancy!

But only those who can access the Internet can play. The number of computers in Internet cafes is in short supply, which leads to a large number of people who want to play games but can't.

At last, they were angry!

On July 15, hundreds of people gathered at the gate of firefly game company to March, calling on firefly game company to release game CD!

"Resist unfairness, demand equal treatment!"

"We have not opened the Internet, can not play" destroyer "and" Warcraft 1 ", hope firefly game company to release a single version of the game CD!"

"Strongly request the release of game CD, or it will break the door of firefly game company!"

“……”

More and more people marched, and the slogan became louder and louder. Media reporters were shocked that they had never seen a game that could cause hundreds of people to march!

Henry can't help but smack his tongue when he saw the crowd marching in front of firefly game company live on CNN

Henry thought for a while, then ordered firefly game company to hold a press conference and declared: "on July 30, the game CDs of" destroyer "and" Warcraft 1 "will be sold all over the world. There are two ways to buy them. The first way is to buy them through the Amazon website of Nicholas group, and players all over the world can buy them through this way, But the premise is that the player's country has opened the Internet and established a cooperative relationship with Nicholas group; The second way is only available to American players, that is, through firefly game house, a store established by firefly game company. At present, firefly game house is only distributed in the United States

"Game CDs are all sold for $100!"

"For each game disc, we will present a specific registration code. Only the use of the registration code, in order to play the game. Our company has developed a disc encryption technology, that is, in the process of reading the disc, enter the registration code, in order to be effective

"Here, I would like to remind you that you can't play by copying the game!"

After the press conference, the players got the firefly game company's accurate reply. They couldn't help cheering and scattered!

Other game companies are shocked to learn that firefly game company has developed such an encryption technology! You know, the game disc piracy, and often copy, resulting in a significant reduction in sales. If you use the technology developed by firefly game company, you can enter the registration code to play the game when you read the disc. In this way, can you increase the sales of the game disc?

Firefly game company is one of the top game distribution companies in the United States. Before the launch of "destroyer" and "Warcraft 1", firefly game company released the works of other game companies. During this period, firefly game company gradually established its own store in the United States - "firefly game house"!

Firefly game house's products are all games, including computer games, arcade games, video games, card games and so on.

Indoor layout, mainly product exhibition platform and game experience center.

Firefly game companies rely on external channels to release games at the beginning, but the profit is too low. Therefore, the establishment of exclusive stores on the agenda! So far, more than 500 firefly game houses have been built in the United States, with a total cost of $1 billion!

Big investment, big income.

In terms of scale, firefly game company can't compare with EA game company, but in terms of profit, firefly game company surpassed EA game company in 1991!

EA game company's distribution has been relying on dealers around the world, although the distribution of games, sell more, but most of the money has been divided out.

Usually, a game CD costs tens of dollars, and top-level games such as destroyer and Warcraft 1 will be more expensive for 100 dollars. It's $100. Dealers at all levels will get $40, retailers will get $15, and game production companies will get another $20. After deducting the cost of CD-ROM production and human resources, how much can game distribution companies make?

Dealers and retailers are the biggest part of profits.

Therefore, firefly game company has been preparing to establish its own sales channels, the best way is to set up stores all over the country!

Firefly game house has provided firefly game companies with enough offline channels, attracting many game companies.

Now, firefly game company has developed a new disc encryption technology, which makes the global game companies excited!

On the same day, dozens of game companies expressed their goodwill to firefly game company and sought cooperation.

Some good-looking game companies even want firefly game companies to allow their games to log on to firefly game platform!

Firefly game platform's highest number of online users has exceeded 2 million, showing the popularity. But on the game platform, there are only two games, destroyer and Warcraft 1, which are rather thin. However, just because there are only two games, and they are also boutique games, people subconsciously think that the games on the firefly game platform are boutique games!

In fact, Henry also intends to implant an idea in the hearts of the players: Firefly products, must be boutique!!!

So, when many game companies hope firefly game company can release their games to firefly game platform, Henry thought about it carefully. Before this, Henry intended to build firefly game platform into steam platform and release all kinds of games!

However, the popularity of firefly game platform gives Henry a new understanding.

He can't help but think of yadali company, which has been the overlord of the game industry before, and then because there are too many bad games, it led to the decline of the company. Nintendo, however, has strict requirements for third-party games, and it doesn't want any games made in a shoddy way. Only after passing the audit, the game can log on to Nintendo's console platform!

If firefly game platform in line with the idea of "all comers are welcome, salvage a sum", it will definitely end in the future.

After some thinking, Henry decided that firefly game platform will release boutique games to create a boutique platform. At the same time, the establishment of a sub platform steam, used to release a large number of games of other game companies. Of course, although the steam platform is a little bit lower, there will be a very strict audit mechanism, which will not allow bad games to log on to the platform!

This is equivalent to firefly game platform doing high-end market, steam platform doing low-end market.

However, if the performance of steam platform is better, then you can go to firefly game platform! In this way, we can give many game companies an idea. If this happens on the firefly game platform, it means that our company's game has been recognized by the most authoritative game company in the world. It can be said that it is a boutique game. From now on, its status in the game industry will be different immediately! Moreover, on the firefly game platform, will also get rich profits!

This is fame and fortune!!!

Henry couldn't help thinking about whether he would like to learn from the Academy Awards ceremony and also set up a firefly game award ceremony to award awards according to the game categories, such as the best FPS Award (first person perspective shooting game), the best RTS Award (instant strategy game), the best RPG Award (role playing game), etc. in this way, firefly game companies can't even force it!

By then, countless game companies will be as close to the firefly awards ceremony as movie companies are to the Oscars!

……

……

After that, Henry came to firefly game company. The firefly game award ceremony is far away. At least we have to wait until the firefly game platform has a huge influence before it can be held. Otherwise, it is to make people laugh!

When Henry arrived at the company, he told CEO Simon Hodge about his idea of setting up a sub platform.

"Firefly game platform and CD-ROM encryption technology make the number of companies looking for us to release games suddenly increase. The situation seems good, but we should keep vigilant! We must strengthen the audit of the game, bad game, never release! In addition, some game companies want to log their games to firefly game platform. For this requirement, after careful consideration, I decided that only high-quality games like "destroyer" and "Warcraft 1" can be landed on this platform. However, the door-to-door business has to be done. Therefore, I plan to let firefly game company set up a sub platform steam platform, which is specially used to release ordinary or medium level games

Simon Hodge said: "Chairman, this is a very cool idea. I think it is feasible!"

"Well, you can organize the team to build the steam platform as soon as possible!" Henry thought and said, "well? When steam platform is finished, you can call up those game companies who want to log on to firefly game platform and tell them that we have a new platform! Steam platform relies on firefly game platform, which is its sub platform, so they don't have to worry about lack of popularity and traffic. In addition, although the game was initially released on steam platform, it also has the opportunity to log on to firefly game platform, and the game initially released to firefly game platform may be taken off the shelves, which is not unchangeable. Sometimes, we can't see it. After all, when a new game comes out, no one can be 100% sure. This game will sell well. " Henry stopped for a moment, and then said, "in a word, it's a glimmer of hope for them..."

Simon Hodge nodded, "OK, chairman, I've got it. Now I'll organize a team to develop steam platform. As for the game companies, I'll drag them first."

"Well!"

Simon Hodge suddenly thought of something, and then said to Henry, "Chairman, today the ball pictures company came to us and said that they would adapt" the destroyer "into a movie!"

Simon Hodge knew that Henry had a film company, so he didn't dare to make a decision about film licensing. He had to ask about it first.

"Oh..." Henry can't help but recall that in 2005, the movie adapted from "destroyer 3" came into the market with a production cost of US $60 million and a global box office of US $56 million. The movie is not so good. It's just a general work of Hollywood commercial films. The third rate plot and the second rate people and things make the movie lower in quality.

Instead of giving it to other film companies, it's better to give it to Galaxy film company, strengthen the depth of plot and characterization, and increase the investment in special effects. With the popularity of "destroyer", the film will definitely be very popular after it is released!

In 2005, the influence of "destroyer" was far less than before, and the box office was low. If we shoot the movie "destroyer" now, only the game players can put the ticket on the roof!

Henry told Simon Hodge: "if you refuse Universal Pictures, Galaxy pictures will make it!"

"Yes

After Simon Hodge left, Henry called the CEO of Galaxy film company, Bob Robin, and told him to let Galaxy film company buy the film adaptation right of "destroyer" immediately, and take advantage of the game fire to shoot the film immediately.

"This movie will cost hundreds of millions of dollars to make a special effect blockbuster. Although the game has no plot, the plot of the movie must be full!"

"Well, good!" "I'm going to invite a lot of famous Hollywood writers, and they're going to be interested in this movie! Oh, by the way, chairman! This morning, we have successfully acquired Miramax pictures, and the Weinstein brothers have only retained 25% of the shares at present! "

"Oh, very good!" Miramax film company has great potential, which is equal to the right arm of Galaxy film company in the future, and plays a great role in the future development of Galaxy film company.
