After Tian Qing Studio's official website was completed, under Lu Yuan's instructions, the account registration function was activated and the game forum function was activated.
At the same time, an announcement was made on the front page. The Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3 Remake would be pre-ordered from today onwards.
Players who made an appointment in advance could enjoy a 20% discount when the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3 Remake was released as long as they registered an account with Tian Qing Games.
The price of the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3 Remake was 100 yuan for the standard version and 130 yuan for the luxury version.
The luxury version included some dungeons and game content that were not available in the standard version.
Soft Xing Technology's official website also released an announcement of the reservation discount.
For a moment, the entire gaming circle was in an uproar again.
After the announcement was made, when Lu Yuan and his brothers were having dinner together, Hua Yunqing asked worriedly,""Ah Yuan, this game of ours is sold for more than 100 yuan. Even if you give us a 20% discount, it won't be much cheaper. It's a little expensive."
The question he asked was also what Cheng Song and Yang Minghao wanted to ask.
In this day and age, many players felt that it was too much to earn points from online games. It was indeed a little scary to hear a single player game sell for more than 100 yuan.
Lu Yuan smiled and said," It's not expensive. A normal Triple-A masterpiece would be priced at this price."”
Hua Yunqing was still a little worried. He said,"But I still think it's a little expensive. I don't think there will be many players who are willing to spend more than 100 yuan to buy a single-player game.”
Lu Yuan sighed lightly. Hua Yunqing was right. In this day and age, there were not many players who were willing to spend more than 100 yuan to buy a single player game.
This was also the reason why the single-player game industry in the country was getting worse.
In fact, in the 1990s, when single-player games had just been developed, the games produced by domestic companies were actually not bad.
The Legend of the Sword and Fairy series, the Swordsman's Love series, Meteor Butterfly Sword, and Tom, Dick, and Harry-these games were all extremely popular for a time. They could be said to be the pride of the single-player games in the country.
Many people thought that it was the beginning of domestic standalone games, but in fact, it was the end of domestic standalone games.
In the years that followed, the single-player game industry gradually declined.
The development of online games was part of the reason, but the bigger reason was the pirated version.
There were a large number of players in the country, but there were not many who were willing to spend money to buy the original version.
Game development companies could not make money, so fewer and fewer people were willing to make standalone games.
There was a lack of new high-quality standalone games, standalone masterpieces in the foreign market, and it had been a long time since the original version was released in the country. During this period of time, it had created a vicious cycle.
That was, domestic players could only play pirated foreign single-player games in recent years.
Therefore, many people felt that playing standalone games meant that they didn't need to spend money, and that they were all playing pirated games.
Even Hua Yunqing thought so because the players they came into contact with were all playing pirated games.
This was actually caused by market factors. For many years, there was not a single standalone game in China that could compete with foreign masterpieces. The domestic standalone games were also losing market influence, let alone cultivating the purchasing concept of players.
Lu Yuan said," Don't worry about the issue of paying. You have to know that when the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3 was released in the past, more than 300,000 copies were sold in the country. The price at that time was not much different from our current price. Many of our domestic single-player gamers were unwilling to spend money to buy the original version, but there were also many who were willing to support the original version. The market is like that. We can't treat it as the same. What we have to do is to think of a way to cultivate the concept of paying for the game among the players.”
Hua Yunqing was stunned." What the hell?" he said." The Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3 was released in 2003, right? It could sell for more than 300,000 copies at that time?" Alright, I'm not worried anymore."
Cheng Song rolled his eyes at Hua Yunqing and retorted,""You still represent the studio every day and are in charge of external business. Don't you even know the sales record set by the Legend of the Sword and Fairy?”
Hua Yunqing chuckled and scratched his head.""No one asked about this."
Lu Yuan continued," Our domestic game market is too chaotic. Whether it's the online game market or the standalone game market, it's all a mess. We need to start cultivating everyone's concept of paying for the game starting from the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3 Remake. With the current popularity of the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3 Remake, it will definitely create a sales record after it's released. At that time, I will think of a way to instill the concept of supporting the genuine version in the players.”
"Ah Yuan, have you considered the problem of pirated copies?" Yang Minghao asked. I feel that once our game is released, there will definitely be a bunch of pirated versions.”
Lu Yuan smiled confidently and said," I won't stop the pirated version. The Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3 requires the players to purchase the original version to support it, and we also need the pirated version to help us increase our popularity. However, I will only let them pirate our standard version and luxury version. I won't let them crack it. I will personally design anti-theft technology. If they want to crack it, they will have to be more powerful than me.”
