Tokyo: Being coveted by my wife, I just want to play games

R&D costs of $200 million.

"FGO" is the biggest and only nuclear bomb this year, or since the birth of the mobile game industry!

However, mobile games of this size require very high technical skills.

Before today, most people thought that this nuclear bomb was just a facade, with nothing but a shell made with 200 million US dollars. Therefore, before the game was released, major game manufacturers were afraid but also wanted to see the good show, and of course many of them directly hired water army to lead the rhythm.

The game is very afraid of being led by the rhythm. When Black Monkey was first released, various public opinions about the rhythm of the plot also scared away some passers-by, but public opinion is also a double-edged sword.

If the game quality is really not good, it will be defeated by public opinion, and finally both sales and reputation will plummet.

Strictly speaking, it's hard for most people to have a strong sense of belonging to a game.

It's like many people usually don't have a strong sense of belonging to their class or school, and they usually complain about it. But if outsiders come and criticize their school, and their school has achieved outstanding scientific research results at this time, the situation will be different.

Human psychological changes are a very wonderful thing.

As long as the game quality of "FGO" is high enough, all kinds of public opinion pressure before the game is released will become fuel that makes the flame burn more vigorously after the game is released!

All the peers in the gaming industry in Japan and even the world are paying attention to the quality and revenue of FGO! And just like the reaction of the Akiyama family, after seeing the almost epoch-making graphics of FGO, everyone took a deep breath, especially NICO and Kondo Ryūmenomiya, who are the sworn enemies of Fuyukawa Tetsu. Their internal employees were playing FGO on their mobile phones with their brows twitching!

A slap in the face!

The picture quality is already far superior to all other mobile games on the market!

Whether a mobile game can make money or not, the graphics are only one aspect. If we only look at the graphics, then the European and American companies have long dominated the mobile game industry. There are two other extremely critical points for mobile games - whether the content can retain people, and whether the operation method can make players willingly pay!

"Will it be a guaranteed pool of 180 draws?"

"Probably not. The strategic positioning of the Holy Light Society for this game is to stabilize the daily activity of the GOGO platform. The ambitious guy Dongchuan Che will definitely give concessions to the players."

"That's right. Moreover, the pool with a guaranteed 180 draws has already made many players feel resistant. I don't think Dongchuan Che will continue this! What?! No guarantee???"

"What's the meaning?!"

"Team leader! Come and see! This FGO pool does not have a guaranteed minimum amount mechanism!!!"

"Is Dongchuan Che crazy?!"

“No guarantee?! Not only will the players be scolded to death, but it will also greatly discourage players from drawing cards! Is he crazy?”

"Too arrogant, too arrogant, this Dongchuan Che! He must think that the production cost of 200 million US dollars can make the players give in!"

"Hahaha, that's great! What did I say before? I said that people who make stand-alone games can't make mobile games. You all said I was too optimistic. Hahaha."

Today's mobile game industry has not only not developed towards 3D modeling, but even the content has not developed much, and the plot is just a gimmick. Therefore, many game manufacturers' staff did not read the plot after entering "FGO", and went straight to see the card drawing mechanism. When they saw that "FGO" did not set a guaranteed card drawing mechanism, some people were stunned, while others were ecstatic and laughed at Dongchuan Che!

The guaranteed mechanism is the most critical mechanism in the card drawing process.

This has nothing to do with the manufacturer's conscience.

There are no white lotuses in the capital world. Even the Western world is willing to promote the eight-hour work system and increase residents' wages and social welfare. There may be a little humanitarian spirit in it, but it is mainly because of [overcapacity] and [insufficient consumption]. Otherwise, why didn't the West promote the eight-hour work system for more than a thousand years before the Industrial Revolution brought about a leap in productivity? Because there was insufficient production at that time.

Overcapacity will make it impossible for capital to sell its goods, and if everyone can only work eight hours, more jobs will be vacant, including very high social welfare. All of this is to give residents the money and courage to consume.

But the essence of all this is to allow capital to make money and survive, and conscience is not the dominant factor. But no matter what, objectively speaking, ordinary residents have indeed benefited from this behavioral logic.

By the same token, the guaranteed mechanism for mobile game card draws is not a conscientious measure, but a means to allow mobile game manufacturers to survive longer, prevent players from developing resistance to spending money, and avoid squeezing players too much at one time, causing them to quit the game.

All in all, a guaranteed card pool is something that every mobile game must have, but now it is not available in "FGO"!

Many people think Dongchuan Che is crazy!

But not everyone thinks Dongchuan Che is crazy!

Who is Dongchuan Che?

In just two years, he has grown from a grassroots entrepreneur to a powerful figure in the gaming industry!

The ability is absolutely beyond doubt!

What's more, even if Fuyukawa Tetsu himself has no knowledge of the economic and social fields, his finance minister, Ohara Chika, is also an internationally renowned industry elite. Even big companies like Juyin and NICO tried to poach Ohara Chika!

How could this combination make such a low-level mistake? !

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!

For a while, some arrogant colleagues in the industry laughed at Dongchuan Che, but those with sharp minds had already begun to study "FGO" carefully, looking for the reason why Dongchuan Che dared to do so. As they studied the plot more deeply, as time passed, a piece of explosive news spread throughout the industry in an instant - 90 draws guaranteed!!!

Yes, FGO has a guaranteed minimum of 90 draws!

There is no guaranteed mechanism in the FGO card pool, but as long as you complete the story of the corresponding character, you can get a medium to summon the hero! And this medium will be completely filled with energy at the 90th draw!

shocked!

Everyone was stunned!

What does a 90-draw guarantee mean?

Nowadays, most mobile games have a guaranteed minimum of 200 draws, and some games with relatively low single-draw prices even have a guaranteed minimum of 200 to 300 draws! However, Dongchuan Che directly reduced it to 90 draws!

shocked!

After the stagnation, more practitioners in the mobile game industry felt a chill rushing from behind to their foreheads!

Ninety draws, this is definitely great news for players, but for game companies, it is no less than the sky falling!

From ridicule and stupor to horror and fear.

The change in emotion took only a few seconds! Then, the entire mobile game industry was mobilized.

There is no other reason, just to hire some navy to deal with Dongchuan Che.

Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents!

Even if they reduce the draw rate to 90 in the future, they can still make money. The top mobile games have a monthly card pool turnover of hundreds of millions of RMB. Even if the revenue of this scale is cut in half, they can still make a lot of money.

Why lower?

Nowadays, players on the market have become accustomed to the large guaranteed bonus of around 200 draws.

Isn't Dongchuan Che just hurting himself by doing this? !

A total worker and a total business thief!

Needless to say, after discovering that FGO had a 90-draw guarantee, the power of the online troll army suddenly skyrocketed! All of a sudden, negative news about FGO was everywhere, and even because the graphics on the mobile version were different from those on the PC version, it was exaggerated to "Dongchuan Che did not respect mobile phone players" and so on.

There was a lot of buzz.

FGO was released at 6pm, and within half an hour, it completely ignited the entire gaming community. Even many anchors with millions of fans took money to discredit FGO, but...

Useless.

In the gaming industry, quality is king.

Many people always like to say that [XXX game is hyped], but this kind of talk is actually quite funny. The gaming industry is a content industry. Even if it was Cyberpunk 2077, which spent more than million US dollars on publicity and promotion, and Starfield, which was used by Microsoft to support the scene and spent a huge amount of publicity and promotion fees, in the end, the quality was not good, but the reputation still exploded.

On the contrary, before and after the release of Black Myth: Wukong, many media both at home and abroad were trying to stir up trouble. But in the end, the game was of good quality and sold more than 20 million copies.

Not to mention the gaming industry, back then the mobile phone industry was full of high-priced, low-spec copycat phones. The price of Xiaomi 1 at 1999 offended countless competitors, but with its excellent price-performance ratio, it eventually made a fortune and established a good reputation.

The water army is indeed powerful, but the number of water armies can never be more than the real players. All the water army can do is to find faults and then lead some simple-minded fools.

Moreover, the 90-draw guarantee did not completely kill other game manufacturers. It just turned the profits from the blood mother into huge profits, which did not directly destroy the pot of bread and butter. The peers would definitely resist at the beginning, but as long as the quality of the game is good and the players are willing to pay for it, the other peers would have no choice but to accept it.

However, the premise of all this is whether the quality of "FGO" is good enough, and the best way to reflect the quality is to look at the revenue!

No need to talk about artistry.

No need to talk about the gameplay content.

In modern society, if you can get more players to spend money without breaking the law, it means the quality is high! And there is no doubt that Dongchuan Che has never disappointed the world in terms of game sales!

As global peers, including SATE's Senior Managing Director Kuriyama, Kondo Ryomeniya's Sojiro, and NICO's Senior Managing Director Hashizume Kenta, were anxiously waiting; as Kaori Akiyama was anxiously expecting; as the entire Seiko Company was extremely excitedly expecting, the first day's revenue of "FGO" was revealed on Kawaguchi's social media account at six o'clock the next evening!

Forty-seven million dollars!

The first day's turnover was close to 50 million US dollars!

The whole world is shocked!

shocked!

All peers around the world, including gamers, were shocked!

Mobile games are the most profitable gaming field in this era, but even so, the most popular mobile game before, China's "Fighting Warriors", only had a first-day turnover of 30 million US dollars! And "FGO" directly rushed to nearly 50 million US dollars!

What a concept!

Although the turnover is not pure profit, after deducting the commission from the mobile platform and taxes, and not counting the costs, this figure is probably 40% off. But even with a 40% discount, the profit on the first day was still more than 100 million RMB!

One hundred million a day!

Too exaggerated!

But this is just the beginning!

The revenue of mobile games is usually the days when the new card pool is launched. However, the guaranteed media of "FGO" can only be obtained after the story of a certain character is completed, so many players do not directly draw the card pool, but play the story first. However, the amount of story of "FGO" is very, very large!

The plot of the first two chapters of the original "FGO" is not very good, and Fuyukawa Tetsu made major changes to the plot of these two chapters. If you have to say, the content of the main storyline is even richer than that of stand-alone story-oriented games such as "Darara 5". In addition to the main storyline, because the entire game is oriented towards an open world, side quests and various exploration elements are also fully utilized!
