220. Something is always wrong

This time the media gave a very high evaluation:

[Classic Continuation: Bomi Frozen Throne Press Conference was a complete success]

[Who said Bomi couldn't do war3 well after leaving Blizzard?]

[A press conference, let the voice of doubt disappear]

【Bomi: The Pride of Chinese People】

【Bomi: My war3 is the best Warcraft】

...

After Bomi's press conference ended, videos about the press conference went viral on the Internet.

"Wow, I feel that this time Bomi made Warcraft 3: The Ice Throne is not as bad as I imagined?"

"Yes, judging from the demonstration video, I'm still very resistant to the beating. Bomi's wave has given the Chinese people a lot of face."

"Yes, if there is any problem, there are so many media reporters on the scene and professional players from Bangzi Country, they will definitely find it out at the first time. I read the report that I was saying good things about Bomi."

"Bomimi Niupu! This time it was very exciting, and I was so anxious that the venue was shocked. I hope the real game experience can be as good as at the press conference."

"I hope so, but don't make any troubles at that time, and do a fake publicity game. It's good to demonstrate, but it turns out to be a piece of shit when playing."

...

As August approaches, in mid-July, Bomi's "Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne" discs were shipped one after another.

When major distributors and Bomi were getting goods, they always felt something was wrong. There was something strange in the weirdness, and there was something strange in the weirdness.

Anyway, it's very strange.

Because this time, the official unified wholesale price given to the distributor is 6 yuan.

Of course, the price is different from all over the world, for example, the United States is $6.

The release of Shiyue is 1,000 yen.

Overall, it is generally much lower than the normal market price, and even the normal wholesale price is much higher than that given by Bomi.

Distributors have never received the goods at such a low price.

So they repeatedly confirmed on the phone many times and found that Bomi was not talking about "60" but "6", and they all doubted their lives.

"It's really strange."

Azhe, the owner of a distributor in Didu, said, "I have never received such a cheap wholesale price. Is Bomi a conscience discovery this time? But it's not right. The cost of engraving a CD is 2 yuan. Doesn't the Bomi team calculate the labor and development costs?

How could it be so cheap?”

Strange!

Too weird.

Other distributors probably have this mentality:

"Bomi is so strange this time. Is Boss Cao really a clear stream in the game industry?"

"Just make games for love?"

"Yes... I always feel uneasy in my conscience... I have never received the goods at such a low price. I don't know if I want to enter."

"But look at it, it is clearly the frozen throne, and Warcraft is also an old classic game. Countless players around the world are looking forward to this game.

It's impossible to sell it so cheap all at once?"

This time the official guide price is 38 yuan.

Most of the previous domestic stand-alone games were around 60 yuan.

But the wholesale price given by Bomi was 30 yuan before. In fact, the retailer's profit was 30 yuan. Occasionally, it would increase to 68 yuan, so you can make a little more money.

This time, Bomi directly gave them a wholesale price of 6 yuan. Although the guide price of 38 seems to be very cheap, the retailer's profit is not small, even a little more than before.

However, this situation is equivalent to the official not making money and is used to subsidize players.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a game.

So distributors are a little unconfident when they get it.

"Didn't it be that Bomi was a fake shot this time? In fact, after they obtained the copyright of Warcraft, the content was developed very badly, so they couldn't get over the conscience, so they deliberately lowered the price?"

"It's not impossible."

Azhe talked with his colleagues, and the more he thought about it, the more terrifying he felt.

To be safe, he opened a pack himself and put it into the computer to try it out.

After playing for more than an hour, Azhe became even more confused.

This is unsolvable!

In addition to binding one more game platform—

The game content is completely normal and there are no bugs. The battle content and battle are exactly the same as those demonstrated by Boss Cao at the press conference. Even Azhe's own experience is better than watching the press conference.

Although he lost to the computer, Azhe was not depressed at all.

Then why is such a good work only sold for 38 yuan at the guide price of Bomi?

And why did Bomi give it to the distributor at such a low price of 6 yuan?

I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out.

...

But you can't make this money just because the other party gives you a lot of room for concessions and looks a bit weird.

As merchants, distributors still pre-ordered the items they needed from Bomi, but to be safe, the order volume was not that large in the first week.

This time, Azhe bought 10,000 yuan, which cost a total of 60,000 yuan. For him, he should be within the scope of his tolerance. Even if he loses all, he will not feel distressed.

If the wind direction is wrong then, at worst, you can just stop purchasing goods with Bomi.

In fact, Bomi's development cost this time is indeed very small, because when Blizzard was delivered, the completion rate was basically close to 100%.

In addition to numerical adjustments and docking of the game platform, other costs can be ignored.

The entire development team of the Frozen Throne has only about 10 people in total.

But from another perspective, the cost of the Frozen Throne is also very high. After all, Cao Yang paid a $100 million price to get the copyright from Vivendi.

The reason why I sold it at such a low price is because Cao Yang has greater ambitions this time!

...

Soon, retailers knew why Bomi gave them so cheaply.

On August 1, Bomi's new game "Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne" will be released worldwide.

Local time starts at 10 a.m.

Because of the fame that Blizzard had earned before, the door of the software store was still full of queues on the day when "Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne" was released.

As soon as the store was opened, players flocked to it.

Zhang Zhuoxi rushed into the software store, headed straight to the new goods area, picked up an frozen throne from the shelves, and hurried to the cashier.

"Hello, it's 38 yuan in total." The young lady at the cashier smiled politely.

Huh?

Zhang Zhuoxi exclaimed lightly.

How could it be so cheap?

You should know that the previous Bomi game was basically priced at around 60 yuan, except for the "Glory of Kings: Prequel".

That time it really caused the players to death.

Although the plot can be a god, players are still dissatisfied with the ending, and many players even sent blades to Bomi Company.

Zhang Zhuoxi looked down and found that it was really what the cashier said, and it was only sold for 38 yuan.

It's really a ghost.

After paying the bill, Zhang Zhuoxi returned home with this box of frozen thrones. No matter how she thought about it, she felt something was wrong.

This feeling became stronger as he returned home.

No way?

Could Bomi be using the same trick again this time?

Because the game is so heartbreaking, is it sold for such a low price?

But, it's not right.

As we all know, war3 is a battle game. It doesn’t matter whether there is a battle or not. The battle is for novices to be familiar with the plot and operations.

There is no need for veterans like Zhang Zhuoxi.
