Chapter 226(1/2)
224. Turn others into your own
This wave is simply a model of win-win cooperation.
Bomi has reached cooperation with major domestic game companies and has shown that the Aier platform is open to the world. As long as you can pass the review in China, do not publish content games that endanger public safety, do not insult the country, do not violate laws and regulations, and do not cause adverse social impacts, then you can post them on the AIR game platform.
One thing that is different from our country and abroad is that
All domestic game products must be reviewed first and then released. One advantage of this is that the above controls it, and there will be no anti-China game, and the disadvantages are also obvious.
Report in advance, the time will definitely be later.
If it is a foreign game and you want to make money from Chinese people on the domestic version of the Aier game platform, you must first review it. Only after the review is approved is possible.
Otherwise you can only use AIR’s foreign gaming platform.
The difference between foreign countries is the opposite. Foreign countries use the first and then review, and adopt a reporting system. That is to say, you can sell games in the United States or East Island, and then remove them if there is a problem.
The benefits are contrary to what mentioned above: first review and then issue, which means it is fast, has high freedom, and has strong immediacy.
For example, after "Resident Evil", you can throw it on the platform and just pass the platform's review, you can meet players, saving a lot of time and cost.
This thing is sometimes really crucial.
Penguin obtained the distribution rights of "Monster Hunter: World" and wanted to take the opportunity to get WeGame, but "Monster Hunter" also had to log in on steam.
steam is a foreign game platform that can be reviewed first and then reviewed, while WeGame is a domestic game platform that needs to be reviewed first and then published.
When the penguin saw that this was not true. After the review was approved, the daylily would be cold.
Steam is posted a month earlier than WeGame, which is really a life-threatening one.
The advantage of starting the game at this time is quite great. After all, they are all the same masterpieces as Monster Hunter. It is impossible to say that the ones on WeGame are more fragrant than on steam.
So the first mover will definitely have a strong advantage.
In this case, the penguin did something crazy-
Before the above review, I directly posted the game.
One day ahead of steam.
But everyone knows the result later-
It caused anger to the top leaders and directly removed the monster hunter from the shelves.
Later, Penguin wanted to bring back a wave through the movie version of "Monster Hunter", but the plot of insulting China in this broken movie was completely disappointing. Until 2021, WeGame did not get up.
Therefore, the advantage of first-mover trial is reflected in the fast speed.
On the contrary, the disadvantage is that it is easy to burst. If there are any particularly bad games that log on to the AIR platform, then this platform will be exploded.
Therefore, Cao Yang's view is that in the foreign game platform maintenance team, an audit team is set up to review games uploaded by game providers of AIR game platforms. It must be very careful. Everything else is easy to say. No bad content that insults China or maps to China will appear.
To this end, Bomi Company has increased a lot of investment in the AIR game platform maintenance teams in various countries.
It can be said that the maintenance cost of the game platform is not low at all, no less than the maintenance cost of a QQ.
It is about 40 million yuan per month.
In other words, if the Aier Games platform does not earn more than so much money every month, the platform will lose money.
Moreover, as the platform becomes larger and larger in the future, the maintenance cost will become higher and higher.
Although Cao Yang felt a little heartbroken, there was nothing he could do about it.
You can't say that I want to build roads or build large infrastructure, but I can't bear to pay for it. This is unrealistic.
...
The games that will be logged in in Bomi in the future include:
Daewoo: "Legend of Sword and Fairy" series, "Xuanyuan Sword" series, "Monopoly" series, and "Angel Empire" series.
Zhiguan Game: "The Legend of Jin Yong", "The Legend of the Martial Arts", "The Legend of the Dragon and the Eight Parts", "The True Heaven and Dragon Slaying"...
Didu Pixel Software Technology Co., Ltd.: "Sword and Magic Record".
Yu Jun Autin: "The Legend of the Three Kingdoms" series, "Fantasy Three Kingdoms", "The New Two Popular"
Hongyu Technology Co., Ltd.: "Fengse Fantasy" series
...
It can be said that as long as it is a domestic stand-alone game that you can find or have heard of on the market, it will basically be released on the Bomi platform.
When I heard this news, domestic players were in a terrible way.
"Wow! Is Bomi so powerful this time? I feel that the Aier game platform is about to take off! Why are there so many games all at once?"
"There is not much yet? They are talking about [login soon], do you understand? But I admire Boss Cao very much. He was able to negotiate so many game companies with his own strength."
"Wow, I feel like they are all full of memories, especially the Legend of Sword and Fairy. I remember that I shed tears for Ling'er back then."
"When Yue Ru was pressed under the Demon Locking Tower, my heart hurt so much."
"Isn't it? I think fantasy of the Three Kingdoms is also very good. The new game I just released last year can log in on the Aier game platform this year. I was thinking about buying one to play with, but unfortunately I didn't buy it later. Thank you Bomi for realizing my dream."
"This platform is really amazing, right? I didn't expect Bomi to move so many games to sell. How capable is it to be.
Anyway, I can’t do it, so I can only say that Boss Cao is awesome!"
"Damn it, I always thought that the Aier game platform was just a chess and card hall, playing mahjong, fighting landlords, etc. on it. I didn't expect that why there was a drastic change in just one month? Is this the Aier game platform I know? "
"Isn't it? When I was posting this thing back then, I thought it was just a chess and card hall, but I wanted to make some high-end terms, which were packaged for 20,000 or 50,000 yuan. What was called [Game Platform]? When I looked at it today, I found that someone was serious about building a game platform.
The depth of Boss Cao’s layout and the farthest layout are beyond the expectations of people.”
"Boss Cao is awesome! This matter is too terrifying to think about it? Could it be that Boss Cao thought that it would be today, and that Aier Game Platform can really become a software supermarket in the end?"
"I probably thought of it for a long time. I was very impressed by it because I had reported it specifically at the new era of games that Boss Cao's idea came from the supermarket, thinking of building the Aier game platform into a game supermarket.
It’s just that no one understood Boss Cao’s thoughts back then.”
"It's not that I don't want to understand, it's because I don't have the ability to understand. I have read that report. At that time, I was still thinking that Boss Cao's idea is really amazing, but when I think about it, it's very difficult to implement it. You don't even imagine how to hang the game on the platform.
I thought it was just like an online mall, you fill in your address, then click to buy, and someone mails the CD.
Unexpectedly—
Bomi is so awesome, and they don’t need CDs at all, and they save even shipping fees. As long as you place an order online to buy, they will send the game directly through the Internet.
It's really amazing."
"I'm convinced, the capitalized server, I'll be a fan of Boss Cao from today."
"I hope Bomi will get better and better. I will make more fun games for us. Is it reasonable to say that it is a game supermarket.
It is best to get all the foreign games and remember to make them into Chinese versions. I don’t know English.”
"Yes, yes, Warcraft has been posted online. Is it still far from the Dark Series?"
"I have also made games from the island country, so it's best to play some authentic games like Eighteen."
"You're thinking too much. The eighteenth of the island country is not on the same level as the eighteenth of our country. The one who cannot pass the review."
"If you want to play, I suggest you go over the wall, and don't use the domestic Aier game platform, but use the foreign version, there are fewer restrictions there."
"Damn it, God, please give me advice."
...
If there is anything different, it is that even if the Aier game platform is released all over the world, the national conditions of each country are different. Take the grading as an example. The grading of our country is much stricter. Although the 18th version is called 18th, it cannot be revealed at all. It can only be regarded as the 16th+ castrated.
The scale of the island country is obviously larger, so even if the same game is logged in on the island country's AIR game platform and on the domestic platform, the version content is definitely different.
In the end, it depends on the area to which it belongs.
...
In addition to talking about Chinese game dealers, Bomi is also discussing with game manufacturers in island countries, Europe and the United States, hoping that they can put their games on the Aier game platform for sale.
This process will last for a very long time. Cao Yang is currently handed over to Liu Zhiping’s strategic department for handling.
The number of games that have been logged on to the Aier game platform has gradually increased, and the user circle will become larger and larger.
Overall, no matter which game manufacturer cooperates with Bomi, as long as they are willing to put the game on the Aier game platform, it will basically be a win-win process.
The process will be long and difficult at the beginning, but as the Aier game platform continues to grow, the works of other game companies in the world will definitely slowly gather here.
This is the power of the platform.
...
In order to get more game makers, especially independent teams and private game makers, Bomi announced a plan in October—
Bomi's self-developed game engine X, the second generation, that is, the X2 engine, will be open source.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a major earthquake in the industry.
"Oh my God! I feel my scalp numb." Qiu Xin from Xishanju scratched his hair directly, and his whole body looked twisted.
"Bomi is actually willing to open source the X engine. What did they think?"
Open source means that all the source codes of X2 engines are published to the public, and the engine will not encrypt any of them. At the same time, all the development user manuals, including explanations of each piece of code, will be released.
