What is playing online games, what is no wonder, are online gamers inferior?
But after all, he opened a shop for business, so he couldn't be serious with customers, so he held back his anger and asked, "What's the Chinese name of CS?"
"It's... yes, it's called Half-Life! Or... Counter-Strike?" The boy thought for a while before answering uncertainly.
This is normal, many players who play CS don't even know what the full name of the game is, they just call CS.
Hearing about Half-Life and Counter-Strike, Xiao Wu understood.
He glanced back and forth at the counter, pointed to a far corner, "Yes, that's it."
The boy's eyes lit up, he walked over, stretched his head to look at it, "This is it! Get me one, how much is it?"
Xiao Wu took out the cardboard box containing the game, checked it on the computer, and replied: "36, you are lucky to catch up. It was selling for 68 a few days ago, and the price has just been reduced."
The boy was overjoyed. In order to buy this game, he borrowed 20 yuan from his classmates before he came here. He thought it would cost 80 yuan, but it turned out to be only 36 yuan!
"Then get me another one! I'll bring one back for my friend." He said boldly.
The boy left with two CDs, and Xiao Wu Gang sat down, ready to continue playing his miracle.
Then someone came again, "Boss, do you have a CS? Get me one!"
Now that Xiao Wu has experience, he said without raising his head: "Yes, 36!"
……
In this way, one morning passed, and Xiao Wu basically had no time to play his miracles, because customers kept coming in.
The game that everyone must buy is CS, and many people buy Warcraft, Diablo, and StarCraft.
This surprised Xiao Wu very much.
Because in his store, these genuine games are the hardest to sell!
Even the outrageously expensive WINDOWS system and OFFICE software suite are better than these genuine games.
Because of the system and office software, there are many units purchasing it anyway, who will buy this genuine game.
It's ridiculous to say that just outside his store, there are often a few vendors setting up stalls on the side of the road, selling all pirated game discs!
what is it today?
Don't buy the game discs that cost five yuan outside, and come to support the genuine ones one by one?
…………
This question is also shared by peddlers who sell pirated CDs outside Lianbang Software.
Usually, their business is still good, because it is close to the university, many college students know that there are pirated discs here, so they come here to buy games and movie discs.
As for Lianbang Software next to it, no one entered at all.
But today, all the college students in a hurry entered the Lianbang software store without looking back, and when they came out, they all held two game disks in their hands.
A peddler couldn't bear it any longer. He called to a student who had just walked out of the Lianbang software store, and asked, "Hey, big brother, let me ask you a question. Are you going to buy a genuine game recently? Are there any new games coming out?"
The college student replied with a smile: "I bought the original game, but it's not a new game, CS."
The business of selling pirated discs is obviously much more familiar than store manager Xiao Wu. Originally, the CS game is the best-selling game disc, so he certainly knows what game it is.
"No way! I sell this game for five yuan, but the store sells it for 68 yuan!" He widened his eyes and said in surprise.
"No, the price has been reduced now, only 36." The student raised the CD in his hand and said proudly.
"That's several times more expensive than mine, why don't you buy pirated ones?" the peddler asked puzzled.
"If you buy a genuine copy, you can go to Facebook Battle.net, but your pirated disc can't go to Battle.net."
"What kind of face? What kind of network?" The peddler couldn't understand now.
"Hey, let's just put it this way, no one will buy pirated CS discs in the future, I advise you, don't get into this game." Saying that, the college student left in a hurry.
…………
The same scene, on this day, is being staged in all major cities across the country.
All the players were asking about which Internet cafes could log in to Battle.net, and those with computers were looking everywhere for where they could buy genuine game discs.
The original game, which had been unsalable for a long time, became a bestseller on May [-]st!
Chapter 535 You Continue
"All purchases from Internet cafes provide CDKEYs, not CDs. As for individual players, we will package a batch of CDKEYs as soon as possible and distribute them to channels across the country. It is too late to make CDs, so let's keep things simple."
Effie is placing a job in the company's sales department.
As soon as Facebook Battle.net was launched, not only did the platform achieve amazing results, but even the sales of the newly acquired games also ushered in a spring.
It turned out that some of Ogilvy's employees were merged into Facebook Games, and Effie set up a separate department for them, which was in charge of game sales.
The goods that had been laid before were all sold out within a day, and orders from all over the country came like snowflakes.
The sales manager didn't know what to do, because he had never encountered such a situation, so he found Effie.
Effie gave him such advice.
Although in the past, genuine games did not sell well, but that does not mean that there are fewer players.
Basically all male gamers, whoever owns a computer, who has not installed CS, Warcraft, Diablo and other games in the computer.
Of course, most of them are pirated.
So, solving this problem now is actually relatively simple.
There is no need to mass-produce genuine game discs. Players only need to buy a genuine CDKEY, and when they log in to Facebook Battle.net, they verify it and it will be recognized as a genuine game.
In this way, a lot of things are saved.
It takes too much time to package and ship the CD, and it is too late now.
But if you only encapsulate CDKEY, it is much simpler.
After finishing her official duties, Effie was a little tired, so she rested on the executive chair for a while.
It's already past eight o'clock in the evening, but she hasn't gotten off work to go back to rest. In fact, since she was promoted to the manager of the public relations department a few years ago, she has forgotten how many times she left work according to the normal time.
It has been nearly half a year now, and every day is full of endless work and endless official duties.
