Game development giant

"Lee, "Halo" is a very great game. I don't know if it can land in our latest generation box?"

When Bill saw Li Yuanhang again, he acted very politely. He used the word "great" and tried his best to build a good relationship.

Li Yuanhang naturally knew Bill's plan in his heart. He smiled and said, "Bill, don't worry, "Halo" will definitely land on the giant hard box the first time."

Bill's face froze, and he continued: "Lee, what I'm talking about is whether "Halo" can become the exclusive game of the giant hard box. Of course, as compensation, money is not a problem."

"Exclusive in the giant hard box?" Li Yuanhang thought for a while: "Of course! The question is, how much exclusive cost can the giant hard box give Demeter?"

Bill tentatively said, "Forty million dollars?"

Li Yuanhang said: "If it is a three-month monopoly, there will be no problem. We can sign the contract now."

The development cost of "Halo" has now been spent a full 100 million US dollars, and the subsequent dubbing and finishing work will have to spend another 20 million US dollars to get it done.

The research and development cost of 120 million US dollars is not a big move in the entire history of the game, but it is also ranked. When converted into Chinese currency, it is more than 800 million.

"Yashan, Yashan! Yashan! Yashan!"The research and development cost is estimated to be only 350 million, and it is estimated that an additional 50 to 80 million will be added in the future, which is only half of the research and development cost of "Halo".

If the giants can spend huge sums of money to engage in monopoly, Li Yuanhang wouldn't mind recovering a little cost in advance, but his bottom line is limited-time monopoly, and permanent monopoly is fine.

This can also be regarded as a small obsession in the previous life. After all, the host of the previous life, Yusanjia, has adopted an exclusive strategy. Players don't want to play their favorite game unless they purchase all the three hosts.

Later, epic on the PC side relied on its wealth and power, and it also became monopolized. "Metro: Leaving" was already pre-sold in STEAM, but it was pulled over by epic for a limited-time monopoly, which caused many players to complain.

However, for game makers, the platform's exclusive fees are a considerable income.

There are two chapters in the previous "GTA4" that are exclusive to XBOX360. Microsoft paid 25 million US dollars for each chapter, and used a "benefit fee" of 50 million US dollars to ensure the special status of XBOX360.

In order to monopolize "Tomb Raider: Rise of the Tomb Raider" for a limited time, Microsoft has spent at least $30 million or more.

For game manufacturers, no matter how well our games are sold, the exclusive expenses have recovered at least half of the research and development expenses, and the pressure on revenue will be much smaller.

Bill shook his head like a rattle: "No! No! No! Lee, I think you got it wrong, what we want is permanent monopoly, we can only log in in the giant hard box."

Li Yuanhang smiled and said: "I think I heard it right. At the current market price, 40 million US dollars can only be eligible for a limited time exclusive. If it is a permanent exclusive, it will be based on the quality of "Halo" and it is the latest generation of giant hard boxes. For the escort masterpiece, 40 million is too low."

Bauer, who had been silent all the time, said at this time: "The 40 million US dollars is indeed a bit low, so how about 50 million?"

Li Yuanhang looked at the two representatives of the giant hard, shook his head and said: "Two, let me tell you the truth, I will only consider a limited time exclusive for "Halo"."

Bill frowned: "If Li, you only consider monopolization for a limited time, then we can't give a price of 50 million."

Li Yuanhang was a little bit reluctant to pay 50 million dollars, and thought about it: "50 million dollars, the giant hard box exclusive "Halo" for three months, the giant hard box exclusive content of a special chapter, and the online mode is Giant hard box players provide an exclusive set of clothing and a set of weapons."

Bill's expression eased a lot: "Three months is too little, at least six months must be exclusive."

Li Yuanhang resolutely said: "If it is monopolized for six months, the giant will need to pay 15 million US dollars for this."

After some unnutritious bargaining, the two parties finally reached an agreement.

JuHuan offers a price of $55 million in exchange for "Halo" to monopolize the giant hard box for four months, and create a separate chapter for the giant hard box. Online players of the giant hard box can get two more than other platforms. Set of exclusive weapons and equipment.

Both Li Yuanhang and Bill expressed satisfaction with this.

With only four months of exclusivity, Demeter Studio can recover half of the research and development costs, and it does not affect the sales of the entire platform.

Bill and Bauer are pleased that the latest generation of giant hard boxes is a reliable escort masterpiece. In contrast, spending 55 million is nothing at all.

If you have money, you can do whatever you want, regardless of the previous Microsoft or the world's giants.

Li Yuanhang originally wanted to make an announcement on the social platform, but the giant didn't think so. Bill pulled Li Yuanhang to attend the giant's press conference, and they would invite many media to participate.

Li Yuanhang had only to postpone his return to China again, and for this reason he asked his wife Jiang Caiwei for leave.

Jiang Caiwei is now taking care of Li Yuanhang's mother and sister, and her mood is fairly stable. She told Li Yuanhang to take care of herself while abroad.

More than half of JH’s press conferences are detailing the game performance of the new generation of JHH boxes, what improvements have been made compared to the previous generation, how much performance has improved over competitors, and so on.

Most importantly, the price and release time of the giant hard box were announced, which made many giant hard iron fans cheered.

In the last half hour of the press conference, the first escort masterpiece "Halo" of the giant hard box was long overdue.

After proclaiming CG for more than three minutes, Li Yuanhang and Anderson from Demeter Studio came to the stage.

Li Yuanhang first talked about how he thought of designing "Halo". Anderson talked about the interesting things he encountered during the development process and introduced the game's related settings and so on.

After the press conference, the diehard fans of the giant hard disk were very happy, not only because the new generation of giant hard boxes are about to be released, the price is also very cheap, but also because of the game "Halo".

At this time, the acquired ZERO studio officially announced that on the same day that the giant hard box was released, "Epistar Century" would also be released on the new generation of Solin boxes.

The players are so excited, this is big news!

The Thorin Box chose to be released on the same day as the Giant Hard Box. One can imagine the purpose, which is to suppress the Giant Hard Box with a variety of its own games.

Giant Hard Box VS Solin Box, "Halo" VS "Epistar Century", who can have the last laugh?

Players all over the world are getting excited. The battle between the two giants of the host is really exciting and should not be missed.
