Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

The popularity tide of smartphones in previous generations was around 10 to 11 years, and thanks to this wind, some popular mobile games, such as card games, emerged around 12 years ago.

But the world's smartphones appeared earlier, so similar card gameplay had already occurred around '08.

By now, in 2009, cardholder games have been a pretty shitty street play.

True, cardholder swimming was quite an innovative game mode when it first came out, and it went on fire for a long time.

But now, due to the appearance of a large number of skin-changing cardholders, this play has stimulated the rebellion of the players, and the good things that used to make money from skin-changing no longer exist.

The founder of card games in this world is called "The Three Kingdoms of Q Meng", and there are only a few reasons to succeed: the cute paintings of the Q edition, traditional card games, and so on.

Last year, the IP of the three countries has not had a shitty street, and the players generally accepted it.

With the eastward wind popularized by smartphones, this game creates miracles and earns pots of money to keep peers in the industry in sight.

In this world, the game editor is developed, and many independent game producers can quickly join the competition, so all kinds of card swimming erupt like a springshot after the rain, taking the original red fire for 35 years of card swimming, in more than a year Ho Ho has choked enough.

Many players now see card games with an instinctive exclusion and contradiction.

That's exactly what Pei Chien wants!

In addition, Pei Huan noticed that the "Q Meng Three Kingdoms" is very different from the cardholder swimming of his previous life.

It's about paying. It's about restraint.

In addition to the game's five-dollar out-of-pocket charge on the hand games market, the price of all kinds of products in the game is quite conscientious. There is no such thing as a 2,000 dollar recharge for a rare card.

The upper limit of krypton gold in the game is basically 1,000 yuan, and beyond that line, there's no place to spend it.

But even so, "Q Meng Three Kingdoms" was scolded by the players for money.

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

Probably because of the strong sense of copyright protection, piracy is less rampant in the world and single-player games manufacturers live well.

Therefore, the single-machine out-of-pocket system and online tourist card system are the main profitability models, which are also recognized and accustomed to by the players.

By getting to Q Meng Three Kingdoms, the producer obviously didn't dare to overdo it, but made a $5 buyout price, and then made some internal purchases in the game.

Even so, the player scolded the dog.

After investigating the market, Pei Qian began to think about how the game could be smashed.

The most direct way is to hit the muzzle!

If there is already an extremely successful game on the market that is this type of Kaiyama ancestor, then basically it would be ugly to die if you imitated it all.

Card player swim is now the Red Sea, then make a card player swim!

"Q Meng Three Kingdoms" fire, right, I also do the theme of the Three Kingdoms!

Play with it, go to the resource station and buy a similar card player template, spend a hundred grand, not to mention.

Of course, art resources cannot be copied, which can involve infringements.

Pei Qian had no intention of copying the art style, because he was also pointing to art resources to burn money for him. Otherwise, how could the 300,000 be burned out so easily just to buy a template?

Another important point is the charging pattern for this game.

"Q Meng Three Kingdoms" charges are very restrained, so should Pei Qian let the players die in Kryptonite?

Wrong!

Pei Qian doesn't think so.

He understands too well the attitude of the players, most of whom are in good spirits.

Talking about game pits, kryptonite gold, no more games.

As a result, a new item was sold to the sky, and the millionaires scolded while paying their bags.

What if Pei Qian really made the kryptonite ceiling of this game so high, like tens of thousands of dollars, what if he met a bunch of millionaires?

Thousands of ordinary players will be consumed by the millionaires alone. By then, a small number of millionaires will directly turn the game into a profit. Doesn't Pei Huan just spit blood?

So it has to be reversed!

To prevent Krypton, the Krypton ceiling of this game must be low enough!

Pei Huan thought about it, the Kryptonite ceiling of Q Meng Three Kingdoms is about 1000 yuan, so I will press it down to 500 yuan!

No, 100 bucks!

Still no good. Thirty bucks!

Make the rich players want to spend money and have nowhere to spend it!

Of course, as a card game, you have to have some regular cards and some rare cards.

Usually, rare kryptonite gold is used to pull revenues.

Pei Qian refuses to do this because he doesn't want to pull income, he wants to lose money!

The most expensive item in the game is a permanent membership card for only $30! I'll give you a few extra pickups a day after I buy it.

Other than that, you don't have anywhere to spend your money!

Want to send money to Tenda? There's no door!

And even if the average player doesn't charge these 30 bucks, they have a chance to smoke cards, just a little less.

This way, the players don't have enough reason to charge!

As for the sale price of the game, Pei Qian would very much like to set it free, but thinking about it is not very good.

Because there's not a lot of free hand games right now, and most of them are priced at a base price of $1.

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

What if there's a fire?

So, Pei Huan went the other way and priced the game at $10!

It's more expensive than The Three Kingdoms of Q Meng!

The 10 bucks is a very high threshold, so talk to 90% of the players first.

Imagine a hand tour with a completely applied card game template, without a little innovation in how to play, priced at $5 more than the hottest card players today, who carelessly buys it?

Of course, this threshold cannot be too high.

Because 10 yuan is enough to discourage players, if the price is higher, the number of players is almost, Pei Huan will make more money.

Making more money equals thanks to money, which is absolutely not possible!

So Pei Qian set his goals.

First of all, this is an imitation of only the most basic card player games.

Other card games don't have a way of playing, I definitely don't have one here.

There are other card games to play, I don't necessarily have one here!

Anyway, it's all a rotten system and the player will never see anything new!

Secondly, this is a game of heavy car crashes with Q Meng Three Kingdoms!

It is also a tri-national theme.

Same as card player.

That's the real thing, this is a fake.

Leave players no reason to choose this game over Q Meng Three Kingdoms!

Finally, this is a game where pricing strategies are stupid.

First use the $10 high threshold to discourage regular mobile game players.

With another $30 top-up ceiling stuck to the millionaires, making them think Kryptonite can't even be kryptonite!

“I'm a fucking genius! ”

“Perfect plan! ”

Pei Qian himself is a little admired. If he makes this urine, is there any chance that this game will make money?

Impossible. Absolutely impossible!
