NetDragon Games, Ma Lei's office.
The office is not too big, a table is filled with various documents, and there are three people besides Ma Lei on the office sofa.
Eason of Epic Games, Ding Teng of Tenghua Games and Chen Qiao of Phoenix Games.
They are all important figures in the game circle.
Today, they are sitting together to discuss how to deal with Nebula games. The video conference before this was almost only a bottom.
The choice of location is for the NetDragon game. It is not that NetDragon is the leader in their league, but it is just like Ma Lei said in the video conference.
Their NetDragon game is the person who knows Nebula games best, and even the channels and technologies that really made Nebula games famous, these are the early NetDragon games they provided to Nebula games.
On the other hand, NetDragon suffered the least when facing Nebula games. Although several of its consecutive projects have also been hammered by Nebula games, its performance was okay.
At least compared to the Apex game that has been crushed three times in a row, it is simply too good.
Just like a teacher, Ding Lei stood there telling three other people his views and experiences.
…………
In the third week after the sale, the popularity has begun to drop.
Of course, it is not the popularity of player discussions, but sales.
In the third week, it had officially dropped out of the top ten in the sales rankings, ranking eleventh.
This situation is not surprising, because this type of game does have certain requirements for players.
There will even be more groups of players who like to watch rather than like to play, which is also caused by the characteristics of the game itself.
Compared with other games, with the spread of word-of-mouth, the number of new players is more and more different. The chance of this type of game relying on word-of-mouth to attract players into the pit is actually not very large.
Unless after a long period of time, the game enters a discount stage, and the discount is still relatively strong, otherwise it is difficult to say that it is difficult to drive game sales through word of mouth.
So in the third week of launch, it was no surprise that it fell out of the top 10 sales list.
The only surprise is that the game in the tenth position on the list turned out to be the old face of everyone:
Why did this game come up unconsciously? Was it clear that it had fallen out of the top ten list some time ago?
Looking at the familiar game name, all game media and manufacturers are a little speechless.
Who is still buying this game?
But soon after this emotion came out, a more surprising news was also released.
Apex Games announced that it has reached strategic cooperation with three game manufacturers in China and shared relevant channel resources and content resources.
The three majors, including NetDragon, which has been deposited in China for a period of time, also jointly released this latest news.
Of course, this news will feel like an earthquake to the major manufacturers in the game industry and the media, but it has little effect on the players, but the second news released by Apex after this is in the player group. There was a wave inside.
In addition, Apex Games announced that NetDragon, Tenghua, Phoenix and other related teams will assist in the completed development and bring it online as soon as possible.
Along with the news, players instantly became calm.
‘Lying trough, startled!’
"Same thing, I was shocked!"
‘I’m saying why the three majors haven’t been moving, feelings are holding back the big move!’
‘Nebula game feels worse this time!’
‘It’s cruel! The three industry giants have joined forces! My God!’
‘Justification, that is, Nebula games can force them to this part? ’
‘Other things are too lazy to figure out, but does this mean it will come out soon? I want to see which one is stronger or weaker!’
‘It’s like Apex games and the Big Three seem to have been hammered by Nebula games, right? Doesn't it feel like a few collaborations this time? ’
‘That’s not the case. You must know that the three stooges have competed against Zhuge Liang, not to mention Apex and NetDragon. They are not stooges. The four Heli Nebula games are not bad. Who is bad? ’
Along with the news, online players also started to discuss. Although most players are optimistic about Nebula games, it is really surprising that the cooperation between Apex and NetDragon is really amazing.
Even after the news came out, even the market value with it dropped a lot on the day.
what's going on? What's the matter! We didn't do anything!
In a day, Li Grayson, who had evaporated tens of billions of dollars out of thin air, lost his happiness when Ethan was angry before, and the whole person was speechless.
It’s not them who are going to deal with it. This is obviously Nebula game. If the co-thigh is targeted, then we will not be favored by the group of people on Wall Street?
Doesn't it make sense! Without the meaning of the Nebula game, we are about to be lifted and hammered?
Haven't you read the latest financial report!
The business interests related to Nebula games only account for about 15% of the total revenue. Although the relationship with Nebula games is very important, but what does it mean, it seems that we will collapse without Nebula games.
What do you mean brother?
However, despite his guts, Grayson contacted Yang Chen for the first time.
Get angry, but the thighs should not be loosened.
…………
Looking at the call from Grayson, Yang Chen, who had just finished a meeting within Nebula Games, was also a little speechless.
After the partnership between Apex Games and NetDragon has been confirmed including Xu Yu, who puts his main experience in the peripheral toys of the third party under Nebula Games and IP modeling, they all returned from Shang Hai temporarily. Arrived at the Nebula game headquarters to discuss with Yang Chen.
But compared to other people's nervousness, Yang Chen did not feel much nervous at all.
It sounds like the Apex game has teamed up with NetDragon, and it feels very good.
But for Yang Chen, there is not much difference.
The more critical point is the development of the game. If you have a lot of resources, you can really improve the progress greatly.
The ability of Nebula Games to maintain such a high production rate has a lot to do with the clear direction of a game in Yang Chenzhong's dream memory, but the same large amount of resources tilts, and the outsourcing team brought is also an indispensable help.
But the problem is that Yang Chen can use a large number of outsourcing teams to advance the progress, which is based on the premise of determining the direction.
Just like building a car, the entire car has been designed. The tires, various gear parts, etc. only need to be built and assembled.
But if you don't have drawings, what's the use even if you make more parts?
This is not a fight. You can win a fight with four faces and one face. No matter how many resources you have, basically the external parts such as art modeling can be completed quickly.
But the whole core gameplay of the game is not that the more people involved, the more fun the game is made.
"However, what do you think about Apex games? Shouldn't your enemies be? Staring at our Nebula game?" Yang Chen also felt a little helpless looking at the online news.
Although I'm not afraid of competition, it always feels a bit uncomfortable to be targeted!
And the point is that everyone knows that Apex’s “enemy” is, are you looking for the wrong person?
