Chapter 329 Is PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Cool?
To be honest, the continuous bombing of shooting games at this stage may really have a little impact on "PUBG Mobile".

After all, no matter how popular "PUBG Mobile" is, there will definitely be some players staying behind in "Call of Duty" and "Red Orchestra".

But only a little bit.

The overall success of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds should not be affected.

For the employees of Feimeng, their confidence in "PUBG Mobile" comes more from the information they know.

As a professional gamer, it is a basic operation to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of a game after it is made, and to evaluate the overall quality of the game.

If it is a person with a more global vision, they can also analyze the prospects of the game after it is launched from the content of the game.

As the boss of Feimeng, Liu Xiong has a completely different vision from his employees.

As a person from the earth, Liu Xiong has personally experienced and witnessed how popular the game "PUBG Mobile" is on the earth!
On the earth, as the most watched work in 2017, "PUBG Mobile" has set many records!

"Game with the highest peak simultaneous online game on Steam".

"A game that sold a million copies within 16 days of the early access stage."

"The first non-V agency game with the highest number of online players on Steam".

"The first Steam game with a peak number of online players exceeding 365 million for 100 consecutive days."

At its peak, the number of simultaneous online users on Steam of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds exceeded 300 million.

As the largest game platform, Steam, its second most popular game "Dota 2", had a peak online audience of just over 60 at that time.

The popularity of "PUBG Mobile" is absolutely overwhelming at its peak.

Measured by the share of Internet cafes in China, the game "PUBG Mobile" once occupied more than half of the Internet cafes.

At a glance, all Internet cafes are eating chicken. It can even be said that "PUBG Mobile" revived the declining Internet cafe industry.

The upsurge brought by PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is also reflected in the price increase of hardware.

Throughout 2017, many graphics cards became high-quality financial products. The graphics cards bought at the beginning of the year were sold at the end of the year, and they made a fortune after using them for a year.

Although the main reason for the price increase of hardware is naturally the hype of the manufacturers and profiteers, but it has to be admitted that the excuses for the price increase include the shortage of supply caused by the "PUBG Mobile" fire.

All in all, the game "PUBG Mobile" is a phenomenal hit on Earth.

And it's not all there!
Perhaps the downward trend of the "PUBG Mobile" game itself is obvious.

"PUBG Mobile" is cool and has become an inevitable trend.

But the upsurge caused by the game "PUBG Mobile" and the change of the game "PUBG Mobile" mode to the entire game circle are still going on!
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is no longer the most popular battle royale game in the world.

"Fortnite" replaced the supremacy of "PUBG Mobile" and is even more popular than "PUBG Mobile" at its peak.

However, although "PUBG Mobile" is cool, but "Fortnite" is more powerful, doesn't it just show that the chicken eating mode is still very attractive?

And that's not all.

Due to the popularity of "PUBG Mobile" in China, this end game has also led to a series of mobile games.

Most of them are poor follow-up works, which are quickly eliminated by the market.

However, games such as "Terminator 2" and "Wild Action" have achieved results in the fierce market competition, allowing game companies to make a lot of money.

Afterwards, Tencent successively launched two genuine licensed mobile games, "PUBG Mobile: All Army Attack" and "PUBG Mobile: Stimulating the Battlefield", which also strongly dominated the mobile game battle royale market.

The overlord of domestic FPS games - "Cross Fire", it is natural to join the chicken eating mode at the first time.

Eating chicken in "Nine Yin Scriptures" - Escape and kill in the snowy land.

The popular RPG map in DOTA2-Jungle Fighting, although it is a very old RPG map.

But after a new revision and the addition of a poisonous circle design, it can be said that jungle melee also has a strong element of eating chicken.

There is also a cold weapon martial arts chicken eating game released on Steam - Wuxia Yi.

Don't think that only companies like Tencent NetEase, or unknown small companies will make some low-quality chicken-eating games.

In fact, the first-line foreign manufacturers are still following the trend and imitating the chicken-eating type of game-because this type of game is so popular.

And neither "PUBG Mobile" nor the successor "Fortnite" is actually the pioneer of the battle royale game.

Since "PUBG Mobile" or "Fortnite" can overthrow their predecessors, these big foreign manufacturers are also confident that they can occupy the market in the same way.

For example, "Call of Duty", in the latest generation of "Call of Duty" "Call of Duty 15" on Earth, the battle royale mode has been added.

And it is also one of the main entertainment models that is trying to promote.

All of these things illustrate one thing—"PUBG Mobile" may be cold, but the upsurge of battle royale games led by "PUBG Mobile" is still going on.

Battle Royale is in the ascendant!

The type of battle royale game is blooming everywhere, which reminds Liu Xiong of DOTA games, the previous overlord of battle royale games.

That is the later MOBA - multiplayer online tactical arena game.

How similar is the situation today!

As an RPG map of "Warcraft 3", DOTA was once popular all over the world.

There is a poem praising: Lonely women wear stockings, lonely men play DOTA.

In those years, DOTA was a standard game in college dormitories.

Although DOTA was replaced by other younger generations after a few years of popularity due to the limitations of graphics and media, the orthodox sequel "DOTA2" has always been only the second deal in the industry.

In China, "DOTA2" is far less popular than DOTA.

DOTA and its sequels do not dominate the market by themselves.

But DOTA games dominate the market!
Starting from DOTA, followed by "Dream of the Three Kingdoms", "Three Hundred Heroes", and "Heroes of the Storm".

Then to "DOTA2", which has repeatedly set prize money records in e-sports.

Then to "League of Legends", which has been the number one online game in the world for several years.

If counting from 07/08 when DOTA became popular, DOTA games have dominated the industry for more than ten years!
Although in 2017, under the impact of battle royale games, both "DOTA2" and "League of Legends" showed a clear downward trend.

But the same type of mobile games are booming again in the market.

"Glory of the King", "Vanity", "300 Great Battles", "All People's Super God", "Decisive Battle of Heianjing", "Blade of Heroic Soul" and so on.

Some are popular all over the world, and some are already cool, but no matter what, this type of mobile game is still coming out.

There is also a large user base and a large amount of money to be made!
