Chapter 723 723: Cosmetics-Paid Game

"Do you think it's a bit ridiculous that in an FPS game, all players are focused on price charts, percentage gains and losses, blockchain, shipments, speculation, bankruptcy, suicide?"In the office, Chen Yiyang's newly hired game director, Jiang Lin, was talking with Chen Yiyang about CSGO.

At this moment, it's only been two days since CSGO's new announcement.

But within just two days, this event has caused a breakthrough impact.

The whole society is discussing this topic, and even school leaders have sent notices to supervisors, saying they must closely monitor students investing in CSGO items to prevent suicide cases.

"We can only say that each generation has its own way of being exploited.

The last generation speculated on orchids, jade, beads. This generation speculates on game items; it's not abnormal, is it?"

Chen Yiyang didn't have the heart to tell them that he also took part in this speculation.

The accountant originally hoarded two million red items, having sold about half now, and already received more than 14 million US Dollars.

This means that in less than half a month, the accountant's one million has been multiplied by fourteen times.

This speed of making money is harsher than any stock market.

It's worth noting that the CSGO item market has no leverage; losing only costs the principal.

The stock market or other financial markets need leverage to gain massive profits.

The transaction costs in the CSGO item market are actually not high; at least when the principal is lost entirely, you don't need to pay out a bunch of extra money.

However, the market's volatility is too great.

A game company's announcement can instantly evaporate thirty billion US Dollars.

The group leader who ridiculed the accountant before is now wailing in the group.

He also comes from an ordinary family, later starting out by selling second-hand CSGO items, barely saving up a few million.

But now, due to a game company's announcement, his entire fortune disappeared instantly.

It's just a pity he played the victim too early; if he had eaten a little, maybe Chen Yiyang wouldn't have thrown all the skins he fused into his purchase request.

In short, the current CSGO item market has already become a battle royale.

Everyone is in a rush to sell, fearing that if they get stuck, the losses will be even greater.

A large batch of students using their living expenses and borrowed money to work part-time as dog sellers has already gone bankrupt.

"Oh right, Mr. Chen, our team has been established now." Jiang Lin mentioned the real business.

"Mm, have you told your team about my previous requirements?"

"I've told them all, they don't believe it. One day, Mr. Chen, if you have time, maybe you can tell them in person."

"Alright, I'll find the time."

The team Jiang Lin organized is exactly what Chen Yiyang discussed with Yingkumi's few founders last time, a game that does not rely on numerical or character draw for fees.

Chen Yiyang has already decided on the name: The Sixteen Sounds of Yan Cloud.

The mode is the same as the original tide, an open-world adventure game, but not an open-world anime game; it's an open-world martial arts RPG game.

Players create their own characters and enter to adventure.

The main income source is appearance fees.

"There have actually been similar games on the market before, like JX Online 3."

"But JX Online 3 charges for point cards." Jiang Lin said.

"But according to my data, most of JX Online 3's profits currently come from appearance fees. The reason they haven't canceled point card fees is probably due to historical reasons."

"Mm, I know." Jiang Lin nodded and said, "I heard from friends in the industry that NetEase is also trying to make a mobile game that charges for appearances, a modification of their previous MMORPG, Frost Fall."

"If it's only a mobile game, the cost pressure will be smaller, but it won't have a breakthrough effect." Chen Yiyang had his own view.

"From the current game market perspective, PC games are actually experiencing a revival. This is thanks to the rise of short videos, allowing many players to appreciate a game's charm through short videos.

And the performance of PC games in video format is undoubtedly much better than mobile games.

Therefore, dual-end games have an advantage in acquiring new users."

After Chen Yiyang finished speaking, he patted Jiang Lin's shoulder and continued, "Don't worry about the money; just focus on creating the game. Once the game becomes a hit, then consider the profit."

"Okay, with your word, I'm reassured."

With Chen Yiyang's guarantee, Jiang Lin was much more relieved.

Chen Yiyang's reputation was absolutely trustworthy.

When he was working at NetEase, if NetEase leaders had told him: Just focus on making the game well, don't worry about profits.

He would never believe it.

Because once the game is made, and planning teams are sent down from above, it won't be up to him anymore.

After all, the planning teams sent down from above make money through bonuses.

If the game doesn't grab money hard, how would they earn bonuses?

So, when Chen Yiyang used his connections within the circle to contact him, inviting him to leave NetEase to create a game that charges for appearances.

He immediately agreed enthusiastically.

For this, Chen Yiyang had to pay a little price to get the competition agreement lifted by NetEase.

After communicating with Jiang Lin, Chen Yiyang returned home.

"Welcome home, master."

The accountant, dressed in a Japanese maid outfit, saw Chen Yiyang enter the villa hall, bent down and bowed, showing her sincerity.

"What happened today, you picked up money on the street?" Chen Yiyang asked while reaching out to feel the sincerity behind her neck.

"I earned over a million today." The accountant's eyes sparkled.

"Did you sell another batch?" Chen Yiyang asked.

"That's right," the accountant said, "I regret only investing two million now. If I had invested twenty million back then, wouldn't I have earned over a billion now?"

"If you had really hoarded over twenty million red items in your account ahead of time, maybe the game company would have just banned your account."

Chen Yiyang helplessly patted the accountant's butt.

The entire CSGO item trading market is essentially dictated by the game company.

It's not unheard of for the game company to massively ban high-value accounts before.

It's just that after that massive banning, the damage to the overall trading market was too great, making the game company refrain from using the same means afterward.

But if before the filtration system was launched.

If suddenly hundreds of accounts hoarding tens of millions of items appeared, it would definitely catch the attention of the game company.

After all, with tens of millions of funds entering the market, hoarding low-priced red item markets would inevitably trigger a chain reaction, thereby attracting the game company's attention.

"Alright." The accountant felt a bit disappointed.

"However, once you finish selling those low-priced items, consider purchasing some expensive, still non-synthesizable gold items." Chen Yiyang suggested.
