Shuanghu District, Palando Italian Restaurant.
Before the dishes were served, Mu Shuang explained the situation to Shi Lei. Players all over the world were protesting against the World of Heroes?
"Shuangshuang, what's going on? Are they unhappy with the commercialization of the World of Heroes? " Shi Lei guessed that the World of Heroes had been commercialized and had introduced strategies that were beneficial to players with money. There were also premium equipment that could be sold for a fee.
Could it be that these commercialized operations had caused the players to be unhappy?
Even if these commercialized operations caused the ordinary players to be unhappy, Shi Lei wouldn't make any changes!
After the commercialization of the World of Heroes, it provided a large amount of income for Dream Entertainment. Up until now, the average income per day had reached 63 million yuan.
That's right, 63 million yuan!
The number of registered players in the World of Heroes had just exceeded 75 million. The number of players who were online for a long time had exceeded 45%.
Any player who played the World of Heroes was very loyal to the World of Heroes!
After all, the World of Heroes was just like Dream Entertainment's official promotion. This was a real world, and players would start a second life in the World of Heroes.
According to Izur's statistics, the number of lifestyle and entertainment players in the World of Heroes had exceeded the 0 million mark and was still rapidly increasing.
The main lifestyle and entertainment players were originally old people, but now they had become white-collar urban workers. A large number of white-collar urban workers entered the World of Heroes and didn't participate in battles. Instead, they chose to live like the non-player-controlled characters in the World of Heroes. These white-collar urban players integrated into the non-player-controlled characters as if they were normal non-player-controlled characters in the World of Heroes.
In the World of Heroes' official player forum, there was an official questionnaire that asked white-collar urban players why they wanted to play the game like non-player-controlled characters.
Most of the white-collar urban players chose the answer that the pressure in real life was too great, so they entered the World of Heroes to find a leisurely life. At the same time, it was a good way to pass the time.
For white-collar urban workers, spending a little money in the World of Heroes was a small matter. If they didn't play the World of Heroes, they would spend even more money shopping, eating, watching movies, and so on!
Therefore, white-collar urban players were more willing to spend a small amount of money in the World of Heroes to find a way to pass the time. Furthermore, this entertainment was very enjoyable for them.
In addition, the large number of high-end players brought in a lot of income from game items for the World of the Bravehearts. After the World of the Bravehearts was commercialized, Dream Entertainment realized its goal. Its average daily income reached 63 million Xia Guoyuan.
"It's not about the commercial operation. The players are very satisfied with the commercial operation. No matter if it's a high-end player or a low-end player, they all benefit from the commercial environment! "Mu Shuang refuted Shi Lei's guess.
The Hero's World was commercialized, and high-end players obtained a certain degree of convenience, making their gaming process more convenient. High-end players were willing to pay a certain price for a more enjoyable game.
Low-end players could kill high-end players or complete quests to obtain items that high-end players needed. This made low-end players very satisfied with the commercial operations of the Hero's World.
"Eh? Since they aren't dissatisfied with the commercial operations, what's there to be dissatisfied with in the Hero's World? "Shi Lei asked, puzzled.
Mu Shuang did not beat around the bush. "About the VR gaming helmet! A large number of high-end players requested that we sell the VR gaming helmet again on our official forums! "
The VR gaming helmet was officially sold once on June 64th together with the second-generation personal gaming server. There were a total of 6,333 sets. Among them, 6,111 VR gaming helmets were bought by the super tycoon Storm.
Originally, Dream Entertainment's official price for the VR gaming helmet was 0,555 USD. However, Storm had hoarded a large number of VR gaming helmets and second-generation personal game servers. Through the form of reselling, they had made a lot of profits.
As the gaming effects of the VR gaming helmet spread throughout the world, a large number of high-end players who did not obtain the VR gaming helmet protested and boycotted Dream Entertainment's delaying of the sales. They requested Dream Entertainment to sell the VR gaming helmet again as soon as possible.
In fact, this protest had been going on for a week!
Mu Shuang originally thought that Dream Entertainment would ignore the players' protests and that the players' protests would naturally die down. However, Dream Entertainment's high-and-mighty actions had thoroughly angered the players this time.
Due to the VR gaming helmet's excellent graphics and realistic gaming environment, high-end gamers loved it. They couldn't wait to get their hands on a VR gaming helmet. However, Dream Entertainment didn't say when the second round of VR gaming helmets would be released. Moreover, they didn't respond to the gamers' inquiries.
Wouldn't this kind of behavior infuriate the players?
In Dream Entertainment's official forum, the price of a VR gaming helmet had risen from 0,555 USD to 05,555 USD. That was ten times the original price!
Even so, the players who owned the VR gaming helmet were unwilling to sell it!
After all, the players who bought the VR gaming helmet immediately did not look like players who lacked money. How could the players who bought the VR gaming helmet at a high price be players who lacked money? Players who lacked money would not be tricked by the scalpers, right?
The official forums were flooded with posts requesting to buy the VR gaming helmet. There was even a player who took the initiative to release pre-sales statistics for Dream Entertainment.
According to this player's pre-sales statistics, there were more than five million players who wanted to buy the VR gaming helmet. However, this data could only be used as a joke reference.
Although there were more than twenty million registered players in the World of Heroes and more than ninety percent of the active players, there were less than two million high-end players.
These players were the potential buyers of the VR gaming helmet.
"Oh? The players want us to sell the VR gaming helmet? "Shi Lei revealed a smug smile on his face. When the VR gaming helmet was first released, it was given the cold shoulder. Shi Lei angrily chose to pre-sell and limit the purchase.
Now that the VR gaming helmet had become world-famous, the players finally understood how generous Dream Entertainment was.
"Yes! Shi Lei, how should we deal with this matter? When will the VR gaming helmet be sold for the second time? Our company's phone almost exploded with calls from players all over the world! "It was rare for Mu Shuang to grumble.
Although Izur answered Dream Entertainment's customer service center automatically, there were always players who found Dream Entertainment's internal office phone number.
Since then, Dream Entertainment's internal office phone number had become the target of players all over the world. Although Mu Shuang could let Izur take over the office phone number, what if they actually contacted Dream Entertainment?
"Anytime! However, Shuangshuang, the VR gaming helmet's production capacity is insufficient. We've only produced less than three thousand units in half a month. " Shi Lei did not tell the truth. It was not that he did not trust Mu Shuang, but he wanted to create the illusion that the VR gaming helmet's production process was difficult.
"Less than three thousand units?" Mu Shuang was surprised. "According to our analysis, we can sell at least five hundred thousand VR gaming helmets this time!"
Shi Lei smiled bitterly. "Shuangshuang, I know that the VR gaming helmet is very popular, but what can we do if we don't have the production capacity?"
There was another reason to keep the production capacity of the VR gaming helmet a secret. Once Shi Lei produced a large-scale product, he could use the excuse of improving the production process and increasing the production capacity as an excuse to lower the price of the VR gaming helmet and promote the VR gaming helmet to more players.
"How are we going to sell it with so few units? Are we going to sell it like last time? I have to say, the previous pre-sale strategy was a huge failure! "Mu Shuang frowned.
From Mu Shuang's point of view, Dream Entertainment's' low price 'sales of the VR gaming helmet and the scalpers' high prices were not good for Dream Entertainment's corporate image.
Shi Lei chuckled. "Shuangshuang, don't worry. We won't use the official website to buy it this time!"
"Then what are you going to do?" Mu Shuang asked.
Lingyumo asked curiously, "Stone Monster, you're not going to do some lucky draw again, are you?"
Shi Lei coughed violently. To be honest, Shi Lei did want to do a lucky draw! However, since Lingyumo said it, Shi Lei did not want to do a lucky draw again.
Moreover, it was not a good idea to do a lucky draw to determine the right to buy the VR gaming helmet! Unless it was a lucky draw to give away the VR gaming helmet, but Shi Lei was such a miser. How could he give away three thousand VR gaming helmets?
"Shuangshuang, Little Ink, the second round of VR gaming helmets is estimated to sell three thousand units. As for the sales method, I'm going to do it in the Hero's World. It'll be a random reward system. Whether it's a player completing a mission or killing a monster, they can get the VR gaming helmet purchase certificate. The players won't complain about this method of relying on luck, right? "Shi Lei explained his plan.
Mu Shuang frowned. "Shi Lei, that's not good! Although the random reward system is very fair, most players who get the certificate won't buy the VR gaming helmet at all. They'll only sell the certificate at a higher price. This method will hurt the enthusiasm of high-end players! "
Shi Lei frowned as he pondered. The problem that Mu Shuang had mentioned was indeed the case!
As Shi Lei was thinking, Mu Shuang's phone rang. She pressed the answer button. Wen Ruoyun's anxious voice came through the phone.
"CEO Mu, where are you? Our company is being surrounded! "
