Chapter 49 So Fair Competition (Please support...)
Because of the rebellious players, they were originally seeking to excavate some niche games exclusively.

During the negotiations with Han Qi, they learned that their biggest competitor, Game Warehouse, had directly given up on introducing "Age of Empires" in order to promote Polar Bear's "13th Century Conquest".

This is simply an opportunity!

Rebels know that one game alone is not enough to turn things around.

But as long as "Age of Empires" sells well, more games similar to "Age of Empires" will be discovered in the future.

The possibility of the rebellious player's ZTE is still very high.

And at the same time, Han Qi and the rebellious players were happy.

In the offices of Polar Bear Inc. - Odin Workshop.

A man with a fully prosthetic arm is reporting the situation to Boss Quest of Odin Studio.

Quest is a wild-looking Viking with an electric beard.

That's why his workshop is called Odin.

After being recruited by Polar Bear, he rose rapidly and successively produced a number of best-selling products.

Inside Polar Bear Company, the limelight is very strong.

It almost has the demeanor of the first studio under the traditional seven studios of Polar Bear.

There are also rumors that the top management of Polar Bear Company is considering upgrading the Odin Studio to the Ace Studio after observing for a while.

Change the current ace studio of the polar bear from Qiwuhai to the Eight King Kong.

Robot Arm Man Report: "Boss, a new game has been released recently called "Age of Empires" and it will be released soon."

"It's also a medieval war strategy RTS game."

"The launch time is only one day away from our "13th Century Conquest"."

"This is the information I have collected so far, including the promotional video of the game."

Quest looked at the relevant information and frowned.

"It does have some features."

"But every year there will be such a characteristic game studio, and then..."

Quest seemed to remember something, and after a pause, he continued, "Then, they either became us or disappeared."

"How is the channel status of this "Age of Empires"?"

Robotic Arm Man Report: "On the physical side, Game Warehouse has not done anything. This is also in compliance with the exclusive agreement reached with us."

"Recently, there is a large warehouse of games, and I will not be on the historical strategy category, let alone historical strategy RTS games such as "Age of Empires."

"But as far as I know, Tianxia Games is doing it."

"Rebels are unclear, but in the style of rebels, it is unlikely that they will reject this game."

"Many other small channels have also been opened up, but they generally take less."

"I asked one of them, and they said they are very optimistic about the game's standard, but it is a golden hand platform after all."

"So in terms of the quantity of goods purchased, it seems relatively conservative."

Quest nodded: "What about online channels?"

The reply was that "Age of Empires" was on the largest market for polar bear games, but without any publicity.

Several other small and medium game online stores have more or less publicity.

But the overall advertising intensity is relatively low.

"In addition, in a small number of subway stations and other places, there are also physical billboards with limited space."

After the complete report, the man with the robotic arm asked for instructions: "Boss, what are we going to do with this game?"

"Need to contact the headquarters to remove "Age of Empires" from the Polar Bear Store?"

Threatening games will be removed from the polar bear game market.

This move is very damaging.

Because you must know that the polar bear game market is the largest online channel for games.

In the sales of most games, the polar bear game market occupies a large weight.

If "Age of Empires" is removed from the polar bear game market.

It will have a very big impact on the online sales of the game.

However, games are sold in the polar bear game market, and polar bears can also make money.

Especially external games like "Age of Empires" will pay high channel fees.

Although the polar bear company itself occupies 90% of the game share.

But the remaining few games are sold in the polar bear game market, which can also provide a lot of money.

For the company, the department responsible for the polar bear game market is the main business.

Therefore, other polar bear studios also need to apply if they want to remove competing games from the market.

It's not that you can just go down when you think about it.

So, in order to escort its own "13th Century Conquest", is it necessary for Odin Studio to apply to the headquarters to remove "Age of Empires"?

Quest weighed the benefits and costs and shook his head.

"There is no need, our Odin studio has already formed a very good reputation in the market."

"There is also a fixed consumer group."

"We need to prove it to the market, but also to prove it internally."

"We, Odin, do things based on our strength, and don't need to rely on the company's means."

""Age of Empires"?"

"After all, it's a golden hand platform game, no matter what."

"It's a small meteor. I don't need to apply for assistance from the company."

Quest stood up, "Send a message to the Game Warehouse for me, saying that we, Odin, thank the Game Warehouse for keeping our promise."

"I'm going to have a meeting at the headquarters later. Just go and help me with the rest."

"Contact the media that we cooperate with, and the water army will suppress "Age of Empires" a little bit."

"There is no need to do anything else."

"We, fair competition."

More than a day later, Odin Studio’s “13th Century Conquest” was released as scheduled.

As the war masterpiece of Odin Studio with excellent reputation and limelight, "The Great Conquest of the 13th Century" is naturally a big hit.

On the day the game was launched, there was a lot of publicity and promotion in many places.

Various advertisements about "The Great Conquest of the 13th Century" are also easy to see.

This kind of publicity and promotion is not the highest level of Polar Bear Company, it can only be regarded as a medium level of publicity.

In the future, if the Odin studio really becomes the trump card studio of the polar bear, it will even carry out terrifying publicity!

In short, the already powerful "13th Century Conquest", coupled with the promotion of Polar Bear Company.

The much-anticipated sales on the first day were gratifying.

Naturally, there is no need to say more.

In contrast, on the second day, "Age of Empires: Outpost Battle" developed by Wingstar Company and independent designer Ghost.

It seemed much more obscure.

Except for the pitiful non-prime position advertisements that Qiao Yi put up before.

Only rebellious players have carried out more vigorous publicity.

Yixing also uploaded game videos on Mengdan.com and other video sites, forum post bars, etc.
