While the players and the industry were in an uproar because of Battlefield, Chen Xu took off his VR gaming device and returned to his computer.
Even though Chen Xu had played Battlefield in his previous life, he had to admit that the VR experience in the parallel world made the original game even more immersive.
As for not releasing the official version immediately, Chen Xu had his own considerations. After all, the biggest feature of Battlefield was not the single-player storyline.
Although the story of the unit series was very detailed, the essence of this game was the multiplayer mode.
He needed a strong enough server. After all, the server given by the system could only accommodate 10,000 players.
He would need to buy more himself, which was also a large sum of money.
He didn't want the players who bought the game to be unable to experience the multiplayer mode when Battlefield was officially released.
Although he had only released the VR version of Battlefield, there were already nearly 12 million VR players in China.
As for whether there would be so many players buying it, he had no doubt about it.
As it was a VR version, it was priced at 599 yuan. It was not low but not too high. After all, it was a VR version. For players who could afford VR immersive devices, this price was not expensive.
And the key point was that the game was a one-time purchase with no additional fees.
Even with the quality of Battlefield, if Chen Xu made it a free game and added the fees for the items, the profits would definitely explode. Moreover, it would be a long-term income.
However, Chen Xu did not want to do that. He did not want to see the game become a butcher's knife for capital.
What would happen if the so-called free games were operated to the extreme?
Everything was done to squeeze the last dollar out of the players. Like a highly efficient machine, everyone from top to bottom had been assigned their duties.
The pay-to-win big shots enjoyed the joy and anger that came with it, which promoted their desire to spend money. The ordinary players acted as real NPCs and became the targets of the pay-to-win big shots to show off or even bully.
Even if some players had a Buddhist attitude and thought that they could not compete with the pay-to-win big shots, the game manufacturers would increase the number of systems and force ordinary players to participate and have a social experience with these pay-to-win big shots.
It could be said that such a game could not be called a game at all. It was just a desire monster operated by capital.
As a player, Chen Xu hated this type of game. It was true that games were commodities, but this commodity was meant to make all users who bought the experience happy.
However, if the game was designed to take money out of the player's pocket and spend it to stimulate their desires, was it still a game?
Moreover, who said that a game that was bought out could not make money?
With all sorts of thoughts in his mind, Chen Xu opened the game store's backstage to see how many copies had been sold during the pre-order stage.
As soon as he opened it, Chen Xu was instantly dazzled by the series of numbers.
178151 copies!
It had only been four hours since the game was uploaded, and it had already sold nearly 180,000 copies in advance?
Clearly, Battlefield was different. The content that Chen Xu had released had conquered nearly 180,000 players in less than four hours.
At the same time, the game's comments section and related communities were filled with excited comments from players.
" Dog developers, isn't it just money? I've already bought ten copies of support. Can you unlock them quickly?'
" When it's unlocked, I've been waiting for so long that the flowers have withered!'
" I don't know what exciting content there will be in the official version. I can't hold it in anymore!'
'F * ck! I really want to scold the developer for this trial content. It's good that it's broken! Although they knew that Edward and the others would most likely not die, this was simply too much!'
I'm more curious about the multiplayer mode of Battlefield. Can I drive a tank? Fly a plane?
" 1, the Zeppelin airship in the prologue is so cool. If I can fly it in a group of people, I'll f * cking blow my top!'
" Speaking of which, will there be a big scene like the battle plot in the multiplayer game? I'll be satisfied if I can get half of it!'
" F * ck, hurry up and come online! When are you going online?
Among the thousands of reviews, 99% of them were crazy good reviews. This meant that the game was still in the pre-sales stage. Otherwise, Chen Xu believed that Battlefield would definitely receive an incredible rating.
" So it's because of the streamer's help?"
After flipping through the comments section of the shop interface, Chen Xu came to a realization.
Even though he was confident in the quality of Battlefield, there wasn't much publicity for the game in the early stages.
In addition, if it was placed in the official store, it would only be recommended as a new game, and it would soon be squeezed out by other games.
According to Chen Xu's thoughts, the game might become popular the next day or the third day through word of mouth, showing an explosive attitude.
However, the live streaming industry brought different characteristics. Thousands of players could see a live streamer playing.
This caused the popularity of the game to spread even faster. From the fact that Battlefield had become so popular in just a few hours, it was obvious that it had taken advantage of the livestream.
While Chen Xu was sighing with emotion and preparing to purchase the number of servers.
All the major manufacturers in the domestic gaming industry were in an uproar because of Battlefield.
