Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 13: That's you, card game!

Views:

The popularity of smartphones in the previous life was around 10 to 11 years. Benefiting from this trend, some popular mobile online games, such as card mobile games, appeared around 12 years ago.

However, the smart machines in this world appeared earlier, so similar card games have appeared around 2008.

Up to now, in 2009, the card game mobile game has been regarded as a very bad street game.

The mobile card game was indeed a fairly innovative game mode when it was first launched, and it has been popular for a long time.

But now, due to the emergence of a large number of card mobile games that change skins, this gameplay has aroused the rebellious psychology of players, and the good things that can make money by changing skins in the past no longer exist.

The creator of the mobile card game in this world is called "Q Meng Sanguo", and the reasons for its success are nothing more than a few points: the cute Q version of the painting style, the traditional card gameplay and so on.

Last year, the I of the Three Kingdoms did not have a bad street, and players generally accepted it.

And this game took advantage of the popularity of smartphones to create a miracle of mobile games in one fell swoop.

In this world, game editors are well developed, and many independent game makers can quickly join the competition, so all kinds of skin-changing card mobile games have sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain. In a little over a year, it's been enough.

Now many players see a card game mobile, there is an instinctive rejection and resistance.

This is exactly what Pei Qian wants!

In addition, Pei Qian noticed that there is a big difference between "Q Meng Three Kingdoms" and his previous card mobile game.

In terms of payment, it is relatively restrained.

This game is a buyout system in the mobile game market, and it sells for 5 yuan. In addition, the prices of various commodities in the game are also quite conscientious. Something like recharging 2,000 yuan to get a rare card is simply not enough. does not exist.

The upper limit of krypton gold in the game is basically at the level of 1000 yuan. If it exceeds this line, there is nowhere to spend the money.

But even so, "Q Meng Three Kingdoms" is still scolded by players for cheating money every once in a while.

Because this world is different from Pei Qian's previous life.

Probably because of the strong awareness of copyright protection, piracy in this world is not so rampant, and stand-alone game manufacturers are living well.

Therefore, the stand-alone buyout system and the online game point card system are the main profit models, and players have also recognized and used to this model.

When it came to "Q Meng Three Kingdoms", the producer obviously did not dare to go too far, but just made a buyout price of 5 yuan, and then made some in-app purchases in the game.

Even so, he was scolded by the players.

After investigating the market, Pei Qian began to think about how to smash the game.

The most direct way is to hit the muzzle of the gun!

If there is already an extremely successful game on the market that is the originator of this genre, then as long as it is imitated in its entirety, it will basically die ugly.

The mobile card game is now the Red Sea, so make it a mobile card game!

"Q Meng Three Kingdoms" is popular, right, then I will also do the Three Kingdoms theme!

Copy the gameplay, go to the resource station to buy a similar card mobile game template, and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Of course, art resources cannot be copied, which will involve the issue of infringement.

Pei Qian didn't intend to copy the art style at first, because he was still pointing at art resources to burn him money, otherwise, how could the 300,000 be burned so easily just by buying templates

Another very important point is the payment model of this game.

The fees of "Q Meng Three Kingdoms" are very restrained, so should this game Pei Qian make players die

wrong! Big mistake!

Pei Qian doesn't think so.

He knows the mentality of the players too well. Most of these players are disgusting with integrity.

The mouth is talking about game pits, krypton gold, never play again and so on.

As a result, a new item was sold at a sky-high price, and the local tyrants still scolded and paid for it.

If Pei Qian really made the gold ceiling of this game very high, such as reaching the level of tens of thousands of yuan, what if he encounters a bunch of local tyrants

The consumption of a local tyrant alone can exceed thousands of ordinary players. At that time, a small number of local tyrants will directly turn the game into a profit. Isn't Pei Qian vomiting blood directly

So, it has to be the other way around!

In order to prevent local tyrants from kryptonite gold, the krypton gold ceiling of this game must be low enough!

Pei Qian thought about it, the gold ceiling of "Q Meng Three Kingdoms" is about 1,000 yuan, then I will press it down to 500 yuan!

No, 100 bucks!

Still no, 30 yuan!

Let local tyrant players want to spend money and have nowhere to spend it!

Of course, as a card game, there must be some common cards and some rare cards.

The general practice is to draw krypton gold from rare cards and use it to generate income.

Pei Qian refused this practice because he didn't want to pull in income, he would lose money!

The most expensive item in the game is a permanent membership card, which only sells for 30 yuan! After you buy it, you will be given a few extra card draws every day.

Besides, you have nowhere to spend your money!

Want to send money to Tenda? There are no doors!

And ordinary players even if they don't charge the 30 yuan, they still have the chance to draw cards, just a little less.

In this way, players have no reason to charge money at all!

As for the price of the game, Pei Qian really wanted to set it to be free, but on second thought, it was not very good.

Because of the current mobile games, there are not many free games, and most of them are set at a base price of 1 yuan.

If Pei Qian's game is free, it may attract a large number of players.

What if it catches fire

Therefore, Pei Qian did the opposite and set the buyout price of the game at 10 yuan!

More expensive than "Q Meng Three Kingdoms"!

This 10 yuan is a very high threshold, and 90% of the players will be persuaded first.

Think about it, a mobile game that completely uses the card game template, without any innovation in gameplay, and the price is 5 yuan more expensive than the current hottest card mobile game, who would buy it carelessly

Of course, this threshold cannot be too high.

Because 10 yuan is enough to persuade players to quit, if the price is higher, Pei Qian will make more money for the same number of players.

More money equals more loss, which is absolutely not acceptable!

Therefore, Pei Qian determined his goal.

First of all, this is a parody of only the most basic card hand-playing methods.

There is no way of playing in other card games, and I definitely don't have it here.

There are ways to play in other card games, and I may not have them here!

In short, they are all broken systems, and players will never be allowed to see any innovative gameplay!

Secondly, this is a game that tragically crashed with "Q Meng Three Kingdoms"!

The same theme of the Three Kingdoms.

The same is a card game.

Others are genuine, mine is fake.

Let players have no reason to choose this game instead of "Q Meng Three Kingdoms"!

In the end, this is a game with a stupid pricing strategy.

First use the high threshold of 10 yuan to persuade ordinary mobile game players.

Then use the recharge ceiling of 30 yuan to block those local tyrants, so that they can't even think of gold!

"I'm such a genius!"

"Perfect plan!"

Pei Qian admires himself a little. If he makes this kind of urine, is it possible to make money in this game

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
