Chapter 69 Calculating Income

Soon, "My Name is MT" has more reviews on the official application market.

"What the hell is this? I have to look at the big scene between the alliance and the tribe. What do these cards mean?"

"It turned out to be a card game, and it's a game type I've never seen before..."

"What should this kind of game be called? Battle Cards?"

"Seriously disagreeable with expectations! Refund!"

"Upstairs, this game is confiscated, free game..."

"I originally wanted to give you a bad review of one star, but after playing it for a while, I feel that it's okay. I'll give you a three star for the rest of the observation."

"I only think this game is quite fun? I think the card is so cute. I gave it five stars."

"Is there a girl upstairs? Have you never played a good game..."

"Haha, I'm the one you are upstairs. Do you believe me if I take it out even bigger than you?"

"It's really funny to give bad reviews. Chen Mo is a C-level designer who is also a mobile game. It's impossible to reproduce the entire worldview with his toes. I think it's good to be able to express the anime characters in this way."

"Yes, as a mobile game, I think it's OK."

"Don't you think it's very conscientious? It's free, there are no built-in advertisements, and so many runes have been given. Chen Mo bets with people to be better than Yue Liushui."

"I think I'll give you five stars for the sake of these runes."

"Just being bought by money like this?"

"What's wrong? I support Chen Mo. I have the ability to make "The Holy Spring Guardian" free!"

...

Currently, the rating of "My Name is MT" is 7.6 points. A few people gave a negative review, most of which are four stars, a small number of three stars and five stars.

Chen Mo estimated that after two days, these players came back to the scene and found that the game was very expensive and the rating should be reduced again, which may drop to 7.4 or even lower.

However, whether the score is low or not has little impact on Chen Mo, because this is a free game. As long as the score does not drop too ugly, new players will still play it.

On the other hand, Qiu Bin is also studying "My Name is MT".

"That's it? Is this too simple? The combat system is monotonous and the level difficulty has no gradient at all. It swept all the way, not only for free, but also for so much money, so everyone can continue playing without any pressure."

"Who can still recharge money? His game is completely counting on in-app purchases, but in-app purchases are all selling cards and physical strength? Who will buy them?"

"Is this a loss to make a lot of money? I'll give everyone a lot of money to play? But what you bet on with me is the monthly flow of water! Don't lose too low by then, and it's boring for me to win."

Qiu Bin played for nearly an hour.

The dungeon was still flat, and the money was still given. I even drew ten consecutive draws and even released a rare purple card.

"Just this game, there is no show, and it's not done with the world view, it's still free. I've given so much money, so the players have no motivation to recharge at all."

"Collection of cards seems to be a profitable point, but how many players are willing to spend money to collect cards? Besides, according to your money-giving method, you will have money in two days. Isn't it a matter of time to collect cards sooner or later?"

"No need to watch it, this game is out of the blue."

Qiu Bin deleted the "My Name is MT" on his mobile phone. In his opinion, what's the use of this game even if the sales volume is high? Players don't spend money, your sales volume is all fake, it's useless!

...

The next day, the two games were launched for a full 24 hours.

"The Guardian of the Holy Spring" sold 38,938 in 24 hours, less than 40,000, which is still almost twice the sales of "Plant vs. Zombies" at that time.

"Plant vs. Zombies" was a bit in the second half of the time, because the recommendations in the official application market were rising step by step, so the stamina was very strong.

The sales of "Sacred Spring Guardian" on the first day were basically boosted by the Imperial Chao game platform, and the momentum may be insufficient.

However, Qiu Bin didn't care. Even if sales declined later, the first month of "The Guardian of the Holy Spring" should not be less than 800,000, which means that the monthly turnover is basically guaranteed to be about 8 million, which is expected to hit tens of millions.

Qiu Bin cannot estimate the sales data of "My Name is Mt", because "My Name is Mt" is not sold on a portion, and only the developers themselves know all the in-app purchase information.

However, Qiu Bin was not worried. In his opinion, Chen Mo's game would never be able to make more than tens of millions of dollars a month, and this bet was no longer suspense.

...

Experience store.

Chen Mo looked at the various data on the screen.

Jia Peng and others surrounded him, staring at the numbers on the screen, looking horizontally and vertically, but still couldn't see any tricks.

"Shopkeeper, explain, what does this data mean?"

"Yes, the income from "The Guardian of the Holy Spring" has been released, where is "My Name is MT"?"

"Tell me quickly, I'm so anxious."

Everyone asked in a verbal way.

Chen Mo studied a few numbers on the screen again, and said, "Don't worry, it's okay to beat "The Holy Spring Guardian".

Wen Lingwei looked disdainful: "Oh, it's true? You're not afraid of being embarrassed, so you said that? What can you tell me just these few numbers? Where is the income? Really, if you want to run away, I know a few friends on the road..."

Chen Mo said speechlessly: "Don't mention your friends on the road again..."

Chang Xiuya asked, "Then, store manager, you're going to give me a glimpse into the way, how did you beat "The Holy Spring Guardian"?"

Jia Peng also nodded: "Yes, you probably talk about your posture?"

Su Jinyu narrowed his eyes slightly, trying desperately to see the connection between these numbers, but he couldn't see anything.

Chen Mo said: "Let me say that, the flow of water in the first month will not be less than 20 million."

Jia Peng almost choked by his spit: "What? What? How many do you say, store manager? 20 million?"

Su Jinyu was also shocked: "Twenty millions are too much! This is a mobile game!"

Wen Lingwei put her fingers on her calculations: "If the monthly turnover is 20 million, you can earn more than 10 million in a month?"

Everyone was shocked.

Twenty million! This is directly twice as high as the Yue Liushui in "The Holy Spring Guardian"? No matter how you think about it, Chen Mo is bragging!

Chen Mo stood up and said, "When the first month of flowing water comes out, if you can't guess correctly, I will tell you the meaning of these numbers."

Su Jinyu asked, "Ah? Why are you telling us if you can't guess accurately?"

Chen Mo Yile: "If you guess correctly, you can't tell you even more!"

...

These numbers represent some key data of "My Name is MT", and the so-called "dau", "ltv" and so on look quite high-end, but in fact they are nothing more than English abbreviations.

dau: Daily active user.

arpu: Average revenue per player.

arppu: Average income per paid player.

ltv: Average total revenue generated by a player over the total game duration.

There are also some other data, such as the next day retention, the seven-day retention, etc.

The significance of these data is that as long as these data are calculated, you can have a reasonable estimate of the entire game ecosystem and infer the approximate state of the game.

As long as you raise the data on the shortcomings, the game can make money.

"My Name is MT" has about 130,000 active users per day, 14,330 paid players, and the payment rate reaches 10%.

The difference between "My Name is MT" and "The Guardian of the Holy Spring" is that it sells value-added services, and players who have already spent money will continue to spend money.

According to Chen Mo's estimate, "My Name is MT" will accumulate at least 2 million active users in the first month.

Within one month, players who recharge will recharge multiple times, and even more and more, and some free players will also be converted into recharge players.

Chen Mo estimated that in one month, the per capita arpu of this game's paid users will definitely reach 150.

Based on this calculation, even if the subsequent average payment rate is reduced to about 8%, the monthly turnover can reach 24 million.

There is a set of data for reference. In March 2014, the number of active users of "Dota Legend" was 2925630, the number of paid players was 312407, the per capita arpu of paid users was 204.89, and the final monthly turnover was 64 million.

In a parallel world, for various reasons, the results of "My Name is MT" are definitely worse than those of previous lives, and it is even more unlikely to be "Dota Legend", which often exceeded 200 million last month. But in general, as long as the number of users can be guaranteed, there is no problem with the monthly turnover reaching about 20 million.
