Chapter 316 This is definitely a marketing gamble
Even if the official simultaneously released the news of the S1 season and the millions of prizes, it still could not eliminate the anger of the players.
After all, most players can’t even fly a plane, even if they take out hundreds of millions of prizes, they don’t think it has anything to do with them.
Los Angeles, Fenghuo Network.
Faced with the unanimous condemnation of the players, seeing the data of player loss in the background of the system, Lv Huan suddenly felt a surge of pressure.
Just now, he received a call from the industrial and commercial department, asking what the situation was.
Obviously, some players really called the consumer rights protection phone and complained about them…
However, they are not afraid of complaints.
After all, it is normal for the game version to cause dissatisfaction among players.
It’s just that “Battle in the Clouds” is more extreme and special this time.
But no matter what, it can’t be said to be “infringing” on consumer rights.
So, refunding the money is impossible.
However, what if “Battle of the Clouds” is really going to fail completely? In fact, when the game was first modified, there were many objections and doubts in the company.
But with the insistence of middle and senior employees such as Meng Jie and Lu Huan, the update project was finally launched quickly.
They also knew that doing so would definitely cause a large number of players to be dissatisfied or even quit the game collectively, but when this day came, even if they had certain psychological expectations, they were still under great pressure.
After all, if there are no players, the competition cannot be held or held well, and the real purpose of “selecting talents” for General Kang cannot be achieved.
”Director Lu, why don’t we change the game back?”
”No!”
Lu Huan immediately shook his head.
The person who said this was obviously an uninformed junior employee.
”The game can only be modified in this way. The publicity department can only work harder on this matter and think of a way to reverse the situation.”
The pressure was immediately given to the publicity department.
And the publicity and promotion department of Fenghuo Network has always been relatively weak. After all, niche games like “Battle in the Clouds” do not need any publicity at all, and the effect of spending money on publicity is limited.
Seeing that everyone was in a slightly depressed atmosphere, Lv Huan was also a little helpless.
At this time, President Meng was busy dealing with the integration of the two companies, so he had to take up the banner temporarily.
I feel so stressed…—— Shark Live Platform.
Cui Zhifeng, as usual, started broadcasting at random.
In the lower right corner of the live broadcast room, his luxurious peripherals were played.
Chengdu-made fire control, take-off and landing panel, VPC T50 CM2 throttle, joystick, split-screen touch tablet based on Helios, Stream Deck XL with button expansion based on DCS Interface, Track IR NP5 head aiming…
This set of professional peripherals costs at least 70,000 or 80,000! The game he broadcast live is “DCS World”, a hardcore military aircraft flight simulator developed by Eagle Dynamics in Fengche Country. It has always been the No. 1 in aircraft simulation games.
The simulation level of the game has even been recognized by the air forces of many countries, and it is directly used as ground training software for some aircraft models. It can be said that if you learn this game, you will at least have the theoretical basis for driving a real fighter. If you don’t consider whether your body can bear it, as long as you train a little, it is indeed possible to drive a real fighter.
But this category is only a niche after all, with few people playing it, and even fewer people who can play it.
Therefore, although the equipment is luxurious and the operation is also very professional, there are very few viewers in Cui Zhifeng’s live broadcast room.
Most of the people who come to his live broadcast room are attracted by the cover of the fighter and his professional peripherals at the beginning. Then they watch it for a while and feel that they can’t understand it and the rhythm is slow, so they run away.
After more than a year of live broadcasting, there are only a few thousand fans accumulated.
However, Cui Zhifeng didn’t care at all. He was a civil airliner pilot and didn’t make money from live streaming.
Live streaming “DCS World” was purely out of personal interest and hobby.
On the one hand, it was to share the experience and knowledge of flying with everyone.
On the other hand, it was also to make up for the fact that he didn’t pass the rigorous selection of air force pilots because of his poor physical fitness.Regrets of flying on a fighter jet.
”Today I will teach you a trick of side sliding to reduce height. Some people also call it side sliding deceleration. First, we need to use up all the fuel…” Cui Zhifeng drove a propeller trainer and started his daily “little tricks”, and then changed to a fighter jet and played with aircraft carrier takeoffs and landings.
[Anchor, you are so good at flying a plane, you can go and check out the official website of “Decisive Battle in the Sky”. They seem to be holding a competition recently, and the prize money is quite high]
Just at this time, a bullet screen caught Cui Zhifeng’s attention.
Mainly because he turned on the bullet screen broadcast function, the netizens’ bullet screen will be read out directly.
”Decisive Battle in the Sky”? Holding a competition? Cui Zhifeng’s first reaction was that this must be a marketing method of the game manufacturer.
Although the game’s graphics and physical simulation are somewhat similar to those of DCS World,
In terms of operation, anyone with hands can play it.
So it doesn’t test the real flying skills, but the reaction and operation, just like ordinary competitive online games, with a little bit of tactical strategy.
But Cui Zhifeng doesn’t have an advantage in this regard.
”I only played “Decisive Battle in the Sky” when it was first launched, and I don’t think it’s my cup of tea. I guess I can’t play in the competition.”
He just answered the fans perfunctorily.
But although he didn’t care, the audience began to discuss this matter fiercely, and it became more and more intense.
It was through their discussion that Cui Zhifeng learned that “Decisive Battle in the Sky” had updated a major version, which greatly increased the difficulty of the game.
Moreover, the champion prize of that so-called competition was as high as three million!
After hearing this number, even Cui Zhifeng, who earns 600,000 yuan a year, couldn’t help but be moved.
Originally, he thought that the prize money that the audience just mentioned was quite high, tens of thousands of yuan, and it could be up to hundreds of thousands.
The result was a full three million! ”Really? The profit of “Battle in the Clouds” should only be a few million a year, right? How could they be willing to spend so much money on the competition?”
Cui Zhifeng immediately paused the game and searched the official website of “Battle in the Clouds”.
When he saw the big banner on the top, he finally believed that the fans were not fooling him!
In addition, the original 10V10 game mode of “Battle in the Clouds” has now been changed to 5V5,
which means that the three million prize money is only divided by 5 people. If you can win the championship, everyone can get a prize of 600,000!
It is indeed very tempting…
The key is that not only is the prize money high for the champion, but also the prize money for the runner-up and third place is not low at all.
As long as the team is in the top ten and the individual is in the top fifty, there will be prize money! This kind of niche game has few players, so the competition is relatively less intense. Maybe there is really something to do.
He carefully read the competition rules again.
The previous auditions were conducted online,
and the time was very tight, starting in 10 days.
After the 100 to 50 stage, the offline competition was held in Los Angeles.
The competition lasted for three consecutive days and the champion was directly decided.
Unlike the crazy extended schedule of the LOL League, the schedule of “Battle in the Clouds” is very tight and does not look like a commercial competition at all.
The official explanation for this is: to give back to users with a grand event.
This reason is barely justifiable.
But Cui Zhifeng believed that this was definitely a commercial hype or a marketing gamble.
But it must be said that it really worked…
At least, it did arouse Cui Zhifeng’s great interest.
