Chapter 411. The Wall

The independent game award of Steam Platform is undoubtedly a trigger to detonate the gaming industry. After many manufacturers saw the potential and development direction of Steam Platform, they abandoned their hostility and joined the cooperation.

Many people cannot understand why they would rather share their income with the platform to reduce their income, and are willing to go online on the steam platform.

In fact, many people only see the surface.

For example, if a game could sell 100,000 copies and earn 10 million, after logging on to the steam platform, it would have to hand over 20% of its revenue to the steam platform, but its sales may increase several times. Overall, it is still a stable profit.

The increase in games has attracted users, and the increase in users has attracted games, which has promoted the development of the steam platform very rapidly.

Relying on the initial mobile game and web game users and Hakka Video Network bound users, the Steam Platform has reached a user scale of tens of millions. Two months after the number of games is increasing, this number has reached 40 million.

At the same time, the steam platform is not only online in China, but also gradually being deployed abroad.

Of course, there was also some resistance.

Tom Granger, a well-known food video maker at Hatsune Video Network's overseas site, has encountered some minor problems recently.

The steam platform was launched in the Kingdom of England. After all, Europe was the earliest overseas market for Hatsune Video Network, but some of his friends were very upset.

"It's really terrible. I didn't expect the steam platform to be unable to come in due to review."

In the voice, a man was talking English with a strong accent and complaining to Tom.

"Hey man, don't be discouraged, at least you can still land steam in Europe, right?"

Tom comforted.

"But I still have to worry about whether this software will be blocked that day."

On the other end of the voice is Basil Ampton, who lives on the west coast of the Federation. His country's economy is also very developed, second only to China. This time, the steam platform naturally chose the Federation as one of the servers.

However, there is a law in the Steam Platform's user agreement that cannot be passed by the federal state, that is, the upload of games, the publication of comments, etc., which requires the platform to conduct a certain review before it can be published. The Federal State believes that this damages citizens' freedom of speech and requires that the Steam Platform be modified without review. For various considerations, the Steam Platform did not agree to the amendment opinion, so it was blocked outside the Federal State.

Now, although users of the federal state can log in to the steam platform through the European region, legally speaking, this is "illegal". The federal state has the right to cut off the connection between steam in China at any time. The word learned by netizens in the federal state is "wall".

The Federal State has a large number of independent game makers, not to mention those big game manufacturers. The Steam Platform's experience in the Federal State has also caused dissatisfaction among these people. They strongly criticized them on social platforms, but were banned one after another, and they could only use some vocabulary to discuss this matter.

After chatting for a while, Tom and others still thought they would forget about playing games, so they started online.

The game they played was a new game on the Steam Platform, not an independent game, but an unknown work from a small factory.

The name of the game is "Hell Paratrooper". Because of its similar words, it is also called "Hell Old Driver".

This is a 45-degree shooting game with a view of the perspective. The general background is that the universe where the players are located was invaded by aliens such as Zerg, and players need to control the airborne troops to fight on various planets.

The number of weapons in the game is quite rich and distinctive, including live ammunition rifles and pistols, flamethrowers, and beam weapons. In addition, there are tanks, mechas and other vehicles.

"Hell Paratrooper" has a game feature, which is that the weapon will not be loaded automatically, and players need to manually control the loading. If the controller is connected to the game, then when the weapon is empty, a clicking sound will come from the controller. Facing the monsters rushing up like a tide, it feels very urgency.

But with all this, this is just an ordinary unparalleled brush game.

The most distinctive design of "Hell Paratrooper" is the damage to friendly forces.

On the plane, the player's bullets will not only kill enemies, but also hurt teammates, and even request the airdropped materials to kill themselves. On the battlefield, the player not only needs to fight against aliens, but also needs to be careful of the damage of friendly forces. At the same time, this unexpected situation is also very happy.

Tom knew that this game was still played by the anchors of the live broadcast platform. He found it interesting, so he bought it with his friends, and he became addicted at once.

I have to say that anchors are indeed much more powerful in promoting games.

In the past, most anchors played the most popular games nowadays, either everyone was together "The Last Survivor" or everyone was "Breath of the Wild". However, since the Steam Platform, the fun of many anchors has become various unpopular games on the platform.

For example, the game "Hell Paratrooper" was released in November last year. It was sold on three platforms, SN4, PC and Black Box. Until it was logged on to the Steam Platform, the global sales were about less than 100,000 copies. After logging in, it was discovered by several anchors. In just two weeks, the sales of the game exceeded 500,000, and the manufacturer even asked the manufacturer to write a letter to the Steam Platform. Thank you very much, and also designed a Gauss rifle exclusive to the Steam Platform to give it to every player on the Steam Platform.

This is just a microcosm. Due to the powerful influence of Hatsune Video Network and the diverse games on the Steam Platform, the two formed a strong alliance.

For example, on the game details page of the Steam Platform, you can see which anchors have broadcast or are currently broadcasting the game. Click in and you can jump directly to the live broadcast page of Hakka Video Network and watch the anchor’s game process to decide whether to buy it.

In the live broadcast area of ​​Hakonic Video Network, when anchors live broadcasting games, they can also put the tag on the game name. If players are interested, they can directly click on the tag to jump to the game purchase page of the Steam Platform and place an order to purchase.

The anchor needs different game content to give the audience a sense of freshness, and the game also needs a more affordable publicity method, while Hatsune Video Network and Steam Platform happen to have both.

Now, the biggest regret of many players is that the two games "The Last Survivor" and "Breath of the Wild" are not logged into the steam platform. Even if the exclusive agreements for these two games expire in the future, players' accounts will not be able to be transferred here.

But at the same time, due to the existence of "Monster Hunter", players have a lot of expectations, hoping that this game can bring them surprises.

But in a small village in western China, some people are doing things that have nothing to do with these things.
