Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Du De, who was rushing back home, had no luck. He turned on his computer and entered the Battle.net platform. At this time, the Battle.net platform in the United States was calm.

He immediately went to the Facebook social platform again.

There's talk of this discount all over here right now.

Many old Facebook users who seldom came out to bubbling before also jumped out.

The rise of Facebook and the popularity of video games were carried out almost simultaneously, and the two sides had a very high degree of overlap in users at that time.

Players who like video games are more willing to share their playing experience on the Internet, hoping to find more friends who like video games.

In reality, it was difficult for them to find such a partner in reality.

So today, video game players account for a considerable proportion of Facebook users, and they are also the most visited group of Facebook users.

At about four or five o'clock in the morning, the hot searches on Facebook's related social platforms are still some celebrity scandals, or what accidents happened in a certain area, and the American people protested in a certain area.

But an hour later, a trending search quickly rose.

Summer sale.

This is a very peculiar vocabulary.

At the beginning, many people didn't know what the sale was.

They also thought that some area held a unique live sale event.

But when I clicked in and took a look, I found out that it was a special sale about video games.

Some people are naturally lack of interest.

But video gamers were elated.

Like Dude, the night owl players on the US side immediately went to the Battle.net platform or the game store page of the home game console to check.

But everything is uneventful.

No, it's not all smooth sailing, there's a countdown on the official store page.

That countdown counts down when the sale will arrive.

Seeing that they still had to wait, these people expressed their dissatisfaction on Facebook and the official forum of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

Why did Japan open the sale first?

Are you looking down on us American players?

However, this kind of dissatisfaction did not last long. They also knew that this thing is calculated according to different times around the world, and it is quite normal for different regions to launch it at different times.

This is gamer time, and video game players go crazy for it.

They didn't even want to wait any longer.

There are some chicken thieves who are ready to use their technical capabilities to leap to Japan through the Internet to experience the exciting discount activities first.

But most people were mercilessly turned away.

Youxing Electronic Entertainment has very strict restrictions on the purchase of games across regions.

This is also to protect ourselves and our partners, and it is also equivalent to avoiding cross-selling of goods in different regions.

This is quite common in any industry.

American players can only do this.

But at this time, the heat didn't drop in the slightest.

For someone like Dude, during the course of the day at work, he starts to get distracted, and all he can think about is the summer sale.

How big will the discount be in the US?

Will this discount be limited to Japan?

No, since it is a discount activity launched by Youxing Electronic Entertainment, it should not be treated differently.

But... it's so uncomfortable, I really want to rush to buy the game right away!

Time passed by like this, and on the Internet, those who didn't play games very much began to notice this carnival belonging to the players.

The previous video game players didn’t have a lot of voices on the Internet platform. Most of the time they only shared their game experience in the circle, and occasionally recommended some games to some non-game players who were interested in video games. Will not take the initiative to break the circle for a long time.

But today was very abnormal. They made no secret of their love for video games this time, and at the same time thanked the god of games for the gift.

God of games, discount events, carnival day.

With the accumulation of keywords one by one, people who don't pay attention to the game can't do it if they don't want to.

So in this state they passively accepted the news.

Discount.

Zhu Youxing believes that the lethality of this word will not be limited to video game players.

Discounts are devastating to most humans, gamers or not.

It's a law of psychology.

When a gamer learns that there will be such a big discount on video games, they will be excited and binge.

A person who didn't play games in the past will be puzzled and curious at first, and then he will learn that games that required more money to buy in the past can be bought at a third or even lower price in this discount event Buying, and video games are really not considered high-consumption things, they will inevitably be tempted.

Even if you don't know how to play, if you buy it and experience it for a while, you will have more conversation resources with people around you in the future, so that you won't have nothing to talk about.

Then simply take a look.

It is with this mentality that this discount activity is gradually spreading to more audiences.

I only played free mobile games before, because the one-time buy-out price of games on home consoles or PC games is slightly expensive, so I was reluctant to pay for games.

But now they didn't hesitate any longer.

When the bell rang at eight o'clock in the evening in the United States, the number of visits to the Battle.net platform and console game stores in the United States began to surge rapidly.

One hundred thousand.

one million.

three million.

five million.

At 8:10 p.m., the instantaneous visits in the entire American region surged to five million.

Countless players and non-players have poured into the official stores of major games.

Equivalent to the number of visits, there are also rapidly increasing game sales.

In order to celebrate the first special sale, Youxing Electronic Entertainment also launched a real-time updated game sales leaderboard.

However, this leaderboard is not mainly for players to see.

It's for those partners of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, as well as game developers who had previously kept a wait-and-see or sneered attitude.

At 8:10, the number one selling game in the United States is GTA San Andreas.

This game is quite friendly for American players.

Because the city setting of this game is the mainland of the United States, playing this game is like experiencing another life in the United States.

Of course, the second and third games are not far behind.

The second is Uncharted.

This game has wonderful cinematic performances, and some of its lens language performances have even become textbooks in the eyes of many filmmakers.

The game experience is also very good, and the current price is only eight dollars.

Buy buy buy!
