Here comes the key point!

now!

Shen Miaomiao was already relieved about the gameplay and prospects of the game.

In these two aspects, not to mention the project department, even Lao Gu himself is not sure!

She almost never saw Lao Gu when he was unsure!

Therefore, the APEX project is 80% doomed.

but!

This is not enough!

If you want to completely eliminate the possibility of it making money, you still need to work hard on the profit model.

Here I have to mention the judgment mode of the loss rebate system.

Because theoretically, the APEX game is free.

After all, Gu Shengke personally sent invitations to many players during the game of Titanfall and provided them with serial numbers that could unlock the game.

And now, Titanfall is in Yiyoux2, and the purchase ratio exceeds 100%.

So this game is theoretically a free game.

But the problem is!

A game without any profit points cannot create documents in the system!

This bug is too obvious, and the system is not stupid, so of course it will not agree to it.

so!

Shen Miaomiao needs a profit model.

A profit model that is theoretically possible but difficult to achieve in practice.

This is a bit difficult.

Shen Miaomiao wanted to brainstorm ideas.

After thinking for a while, Gu Sheng spoke first:

"As for the profit model, I suggest splitting it up,"

"After all, although APEX is a derivative of TTF, it is also a relatively independent project,"

"Although now, our purchase ratio on Yiyoux2 is more than 100%, and all players who purchase Titanfall can play it for free,"

"But as time goes by, our proportion will eventually return to the normal threshold,"

"At that time, there may be some players who 'want to play APEX but don't want to buy TTF',"

"So I suggest that we customize a game price specifically for this group of players and give them a way to purchase it individually, pricing it at 98 or 108."

After saying that, Gu Sheng looked at everyone in the conference room.

Jiang Shan raised her hand:

"Brother Sheng, I don't understand. Since we are already doing it for free, why not make it all free?"

"If all players play for free, wouldn't it be more attractive to players and make the player base stronger?"

Hear the words.

Gu Sheng smiled first, then shook his head:

"That's true, but you can't do it."

Jiang Shan is in the art team and has only been in the gaming industry for less than two years, so it is relatively easy to think about things.

Everything she proposed is free, which seems very good. It seems to have effectively lowered the threshold for game play, focusing on the idea that "everyone has skills to practice".

But Gu Sheng knew!

If you really do this, more than half of the players who bought Titanfall will explode!

Because one of the things players hate the most is being backstabbed in a short period of time!

I bought the game for two hundred yuan, experienced a fantasy plot, and embarked on countless journeys. At the end of the game, the NPC played by the designer himself sent me an invitation letter, solemnly telling me that you are really awesome.

Come on, in order to reward you, I will give you an invitation letter. You are welcome to come and play with me when the time comes.

Such a great idea! Such a strong sense of ritual! An exquisite design that breaks through the dimensional wall!

I'm excited, I cheer, I applaud this scene, and I'm moved by the game manufacturers' intentions and conscience!

Then you turned around and told me that the invitation letter was just a formality, and the invitation letter in my hand was a joke. In fact, everyone can participate in the so-called competition, and it is completely free?

Who wouldn't explode if I replaced him?

Therefore, this game cannot be completely free.

Otherwise, just wait to be scolded.

Gu Sheng considered the problem very comprehensively.

After all, in addition to being a designer, he is also a player.

As a player, he himself doesn't want to see this happen, so he definitely won't do it.

In this regard, Jiang Yun, a veteran in the gaming industry, also fully agrees:

"What Mr. Gu said makes sense. Rushing to make everything free will indeed hurt the feelings of the main body players to a great extent,"

"The key is that now, we have a huge number of Ontology players,"

"If it hurts this part of the player base, it will have a great negative impact on us."

Hmm——

Hearing this, Shen Miaomiao frowned slightly and groaned.

In fact, she quite liked Jiang Shan's opinion.

All are free, which can limit game profits to the greatest extent.

But Lao Gu was absolutely opposed to this.

In this way, I can no longer interfere and force Lao Gu to perform everything for free.

but!

If you follow what Lao Gu said, it will be free for all players with the original version, and players without the original version will have to pay for it.

It will also bring certain hidden dangers to her money-losing plan.

How to do it?

Shen Miaomiao thought hard and after a while, her mind changed:

"In this case, then we might as well implement the game plot more firmly,"

"APEX is a free game,"

"And it is only open to players who have purchased the main body and received invitations."

I will directly screen out the customers who have no identity!

If you want to play APEX, you must buy Titanfall!

Set thresholds to tighten the number of players to the greatest extent!

This wave!

Shen Miaomiao really used her brain.

Because according to the system’s judgment standards, even if a player really buys Titanfall because he wants to play APEX, the profit will not be counted towards APEX!

In other words, if her opinions are followed.

Then APEX has returned to its original point and become a purely free game!

I'm so awesome!

Shen Miaomiao applauded her quick thinking.

But in this way, it obviously does not meet Gu Sheng's expectation of "expanding the player base".

I saw him groaning: "This..."

"Lao Gu,"

Seeing this, Shen Miaomiao quickly took the lead and blocked Gu Sheng's mouth:

"What I want is fish, and what I want is bear's paw. You can't have both."

"We can't stand from an artistic point of view and want to maintain the quality of the work,"

"I also want to look at it from a business perspective and attract as many customers as possible,"

"There is a contradiction between the two, just like the dilemma you just mentioned in the catastrophe of the gods,"
