Chapter 58 Pricing
10 minute later.

"Ula!"

"Get first place in the first time I play!"

"I have long said that Ivan is very good, he should play professionally!"

Ivan smiled, took out the controller and faced the computer, and said: "Games are for playing when you are happy, and it is meaningless to use it as a career."

"Let me try the next game?" A friend asked with some envy as he watched Ivan enter the game again.

"Of course, my friend." Still waiting to read, Ivan replied immediately.

"Then I'll come next time!"

"Line up, line up, I'll do it next time!"

Ivan's little friends even lined up, gearing up.

……

Thousands of miles away in Shangjing.

Chen Tiancai and his staff breathed a sigh of relief.

The test of "Hunting Crisis" has started for three hours.

Now a total of more than 900 players have entered the game, and the total number of completed games has exceeded [-].

Although the server was under a lot of pressure at times during this period, there were no problems under careful maintenance.

And with the passage of time, not many of the nearly [-] online players quit the game, less than a hundred players left the game every hour, and some players will go online at the same time, which shows the strength of "Hunting Crisis" The viscosity of the game is still relatively high.

"Okay, the hardest time is over, now you can take a shift and rest."

Chen Tiancai invited the employees to rest for a while, because once the operation of "Hunting Crisis" starts, people will be required to be on duty at night.

Maybe it's the social atmosphere, or maybe it's because the Zange network has just been established, but Chen Tiancai's employees didn't demand overtime pay.

However, working the night shift was so hard, Chen Tiancai was going to pay the employees who worked the night shift a sum of money as a reward for their hard work when it was time to pay their wages.

In the future, when Zange Network develops better, the treatment for employees will naturally be better.

Chen Tiancai is rushing to make the game well, and he doesn't care much about money.Chen Tiancai thinks it is worthwhile to use the money to improve the enthusiasm and satisfaction of the employees, so that they can seriously invest in game development.

"How is it? Is the stand-alone part completely fine?" Chen Tiancai walked behind Feng Bi and saw that he was still testing the stand-alone part of "Hunting Crisis".

"Boss." Feng Yu rubbed his eyes, and said after seeing Chen Tiancai, "Actually, it was completely completed two days ago, but I'm still worried, so I played a few more times to check."

"Okay." Chen Tiancai knew the power of the world engine well, patted Feng Bi on the shoulder, and said, "The plot part of the stand-alone machine is already perfect, and your next focus should be on the plot of the next chapter."

"Okay!" Feng Bi reluctantly closed the program, opened the document and began to think hard.

In fact, except for Feng Hao, the other employees were paralyzed in their seats.

Today can be said to be the busiest day since the establishment of Anthem Network.

Early in the morning, all the employees, under the command of Operation Yin Tianchou, carried out the last equipment debugging.

At the same time, it is also necessary to communicate with server manufacturers abroad to ensure that the network of "Hunting Crisis" is normal and there will be no fluctuations that cause players to drop offline.

Many employees were so busy that they didn't even have lunch, and at most they took some snacks from the pantry to satisfy their hunger.

Chen Tiancai took all this into consideration, so he went to the front desk and asked Zhang Xiaoyu to order a meal. The price starts at 80 yuan.

When he saw that the employees were full and hiccupped, Chen Tiancai returned to his office in a hurry, and then called a few key personnel, preparing to finalize the last thing before "Hunting Crisis" was put on the shelves——

Selling price.

In fact, Chen Tiancai had already drawn up a rough figure and called these backbones, firstly for the sake of exposure, and secondly to teach them the knowledge of pricing.

After Li Zhu, Pei Guangming, and Feng Yu arrived.

Chen Tiancai said slowly: "I have almost considered the price of "Hunting Crisis", and I plan to set it between 58 yuan and 88 yuan."

"Isn't it a bit cheap?" Pei Guangming was the first to ask.

Chen Tiancai was not in a hurry to answer, but instead asked the other two, "How about you two?"

Li Zhuhan said with a smile: "I don't know much about it, but the lower the price, the more people will definitely buy it."

It's a very simple truth, and I have exhausted the inner activities of the party.

Feng Bi added: "However, for new games, the price is not an element that stimulates players to buy. In order to get back the funds as soon as possible, I think it is better to set a higher price."

Pei Guangming nodded and said: "I still think it's cheap. With the quality of "Hunting Crisis", it costs at least [-] yuan."

"It seems that you have all thought about this question." Chen Tiancai said: "68 yuan, this is the final price of "Hunting Crisis."

"Hiss! So cheap?" Pei Guangming was surprised. He originally thought that Chen Tiancai would order 88 yuan.

Chen Tiancai explained: "First of all, we need to be clear that the main revenue method of "Hunting Crisis" is in-app purchase, that is, selling various clothing and skins. Therefore, although there is a stand-alone plot, the excessively high price is not conducive to expanding the player base. "

"To be honest, I even thought about releasing Predator for free."

Hearing Chen Tiancai's words, the three people in the office gasped, as if they didn't expect Chen Tiancai to be so determined.

"68 yuan is just right, it is almost ten dollars abroad, and it is almost the price of cabbage for foreign players."

"Of course, it is also a very cheap price for domestic gamers."

"After all, judging from the sales of games on the steam platform, our domestic players are getting richer and more willing to spend money."

"Compared to other battle royale games, our price is about 30.00% lower than that of our main competitors, which is conducive to the entry of players who draw them."

Chen Tiancai explained in detail, and then asked the three subordinates to think for a while.

After seeing the eyes of the three of them getting brighter, Chen Tiancai went on to say: "However, there are some hidden rules in any business, such as the domestic krypton gold game 648."

"Since "Hunting Crisis" focuses on online battles and in-app purchases, colleagues will not feel disgusted."

"But when we want to develop 3A-standard games in the future, it is best to set the price at [-] to [-] dollars in foreign countries, and respect the market developed by our predecessors."

Chen Tiancai is actually very confident in the price war, because the world engine saves man-hours and is also very easy to learn, so it is not difficult to train employees.

The overall development cost can save at least half of the funds.

But he also knows how difficult it is to develop games with 3A specifications, and how much money those foreign developers have invested.

In fact, the price of fifty to sixty knives is very dangerous for these manufacturers. If the game cannot be bought by players, most of them will lose quite badly.

But now the game prices are still fluctuating between [-] and [-] dollars, and most of them are still [-] dollars. It can be seen that the industry is also secretly competing for prices, otherwise the price will not fail to rise.
