Chapter 131 Does DLC make money?
Liu Xiong gave Xiaokui a white look: "Despicable means? You say we are villains... There is no need to use any dishonorable means."

"We just need to do a small upgrade to add another fire to our riding and cutting."

"Go your own way, let Qi Niu have nowhere to go."

Liu Xiong took the initiative to call Xiao Cai.

Xiaocai was overjoyed when she learned that Liu Xiong asked for an interview, and ran over after a while.

After closing the door, the two had a long talk in Liu Xiong's office.

So the next day, Lundao Xingkong exclusively released a piece of news globally.

"The large official DLC of "Mount and Blade" - "1257AD", will be released soon!"

After clicking on the news, it was a relatively simple interview, and in the interview, Liu Xiong revealed that Feimeng will launch a large DLC for Mount and Blade—1257AD.

Different from the world of riding and hacking, the 1257AD DLC will restore the western continent in the middle of the 13th century to a large extent.

From the British Isles to Syria, from the Nordic coast to the West African desert, from the Golden Horde to Frank...

Players will play their own roles and participate in the game of power on the vast continent of Europe. They are knights, rangers, slave traders, merchants, factory owners, and even noble lords!

Help the Nicene Romans take back Constantinople and restore the glory of Eastern Rome!
Inherit the legacy of the Leper King Baldwin IV and defend the Kingdom of Jerusalem!

Join the Mongolian tribe and let Europe feel the horror of the Mongolian army again!
Lead the Mamluks to recover the Holy Land in the name of Saladin!

In the name of the father, lead the three major knights to start a new round of crusades!
Conquer the North and the South to unify the Holy Roman Empire!

Arrows pointing to the sky, leading the Three Lions to let the world experience the rain of arrows!

Ride on the waves and let the caravans of Venice monopolize the Mediterranean trade!
In the official large-scale DLC of Mount and Blade - 1257AD, players can realize all their dreams!
Super large map, many lords, super war!
The largest battle of riding and slashing in history is about to start!
Feimeng Game Studio is a gift for all players, are you ready?

……

And below the news, the fans are boiling!

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! The introduction looks great!"

"I don't like superficial backgrounds, but I really like games with historical and real backgrounds! It seems that I have to buy cavalry this time."

"OK, the glory of Byzantium will be guarded by me!"

"Look at the interview. In this 1257AD, there are more than 500 lords and more than 700 cities and villages. How big is this map!"

"Flying Dreams of Conscience! The DLC is released so soon, I'm so happy!"

But at this moment, in Fei Meng's office, Liu Xiong was speaking eloquently.

"Before the meeting, I browsed the news comment area of ​​Lundao Xingkong, and found that players are generally looking forward to it."

"And also said that our Feimeng is very conscientious, and launched the DLC as soon as possible, so that everyone can experience a different kind of riding and slashing fun."

Liu Xiong paused, then chuckled: "Conscience? That's right, I am the industry's conscience this time!"

"1257AD is a DLC with rich content, we will create it with great care."

"Whether it's plot, setting, modeling, terrain, or other content, we will all meet the requirements for creating new games."

"And for such an excellent big DLC, the price I ordered will be 0."

When Liu Xiong said this, everyone was shocked.

Although everyone knows that Liu Xiong will always be a conscientious boss, but according to the 1257AD data I checked just now, this is a super large DLC comparable to the original version of Qiba!
It’s not too much to sell such an exquisite DLC for 98!

But for such a 1257AD, the boss actually wants it for free?

Xiaokui immediately said distressedly: "It's a loss for free, boss! I think it's better to set a few tens of dollars, and I guess the sales will be great."

Xiao Lin also echoed: "That's right, if it's free, we Feimeng will lose a lot of money."

Ye Shen thought a little longer. He said: "If it is free, there will definitely be financial losses, but if you are willing to bear the losses in exchange for higher popularity, then it is worth it."

"After all, I know that the boss is a man with money like dung." Ye Shen flattered him.

After hearing Ye Shen's flattery, Liu Xiong smiled very usefully, coughed twice and said: "Ahem, there is nothing to feel bad about."

"Let 1257AD be free, and the money lost is completely within the acceptable range."

"In the final analysis, 1257 is just a super-large MOD, and it's nothing for free."

"and."

Liu Xiong changed the topic, his eyes became cold.

"If you think that I will go on with such a thorough conscience, then you are very wrong."

"Remember before, I decided not to open the source code of riding and hacking, and not to develop MOD production tools?"

With a snap, Liu Xiong pulled out a stack of documents from the drawer!
Xiaokui distributed the materials to everyone, including herself.

Kobayashi browsed through the information quickly, while chanting: "Light and Darkness, Pendor's Prophecy, Han-Hungarian Total War, 1866 Wild West, Viking Legend, Fire and Sword, British Ruler, The Last Day of the Lord of the Rings, Engagement ball?"

"This... what are these things!"

"Wait, these are all DLC?"

Liu Xiong smiled coldly: "That's right! These are all the DLCs I will release!"

"The Light and Darkness of Magical Themes, and the Prophecy of Pendor."

"Historical Total War, 1866 Wild West, Viking Legends, British Rulers..."

Liu Xiong paused, then smiled slyly: "And the engagement ball with 18X content that you asked Xiaolin..."

"Of course, Fangfang, Youzi, Xiaokui, you don't need to participate in the DLC of the engagement ball."

Fangfang and Youzi both blushed and nodded, but Xiaokui rushed over and said, "Hey! 18X, is there any BL content? I want to participate, I want to participate..."

After letting everyone digest it, Liu Xiong continued to speak.

"1257AD, it's free."

"But the other DLCs I've listed so far are all paid for!"

"When a player comes into contact with free DLC for the first time, he is likely to play other DLC naturally."

"As for our Feimeng official, we will launch a series of wonderful DLCs for players to choose freely."

"Not only these, but also other DLCs will be updated one after another in the following days."

"The water will flow forever, the money lost for 1257AD free, other DLC will help us earn it back slowly."

Everyone suddenly realized, no wonder the boss was unwilling to open the MOD production function before. It turns out that the boss planned to release DLC at that time.

At this time, what should smart employees do?

Flattering!

　Thanks to the "23333 funny than one" brother for the reward, thank you for your encouragement!
