Chapter 289 Nebula Games is going bankrupt again

After the news of "Assassin's Creed" and "Warcraft" was confirmed, players who have been following Nebula games have received two good news.

The PC version of "Yu-Gi-Oh" is online, and the DLC "Snake Eater" of "Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain" has also officially released the first promotional trailer.

Regarding the news of "Yu-Gi-Oh" launching on the PC platform, players are actually not surprised. After all, Nebula Games officials have already selected the PC content of "Yu-Gi-Oh".

However, the latest DLC of "Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain" has not revealed any information since the original hidden ending "The World Has No Nuclear Forces". Some news, for example, don't worry, the game is already doing this kind of thing.

But this kind of disclosure like a thief, and the posture of fearing that others will know the development progress of the game, always make the players feel drummed in their hearts.

Coupled with the recent strong recommendation of "Yu-Gi-Oh" by Nebula Games, some players have forgotten that there is "Snake Eater", the DLC of "Metal Gear: The Phantom Pain".

There is no long-shot shooting blindly like in "Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain". In "Snake Eater", which Wang Yaliang undertook to produce, the performance of long shots is not like that in "Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain". Long, fragmented cuts focus more heavily on combat and character conflict.

This makes "Snake Eater" like a Hollywood-style commercial blockbuster, which makes players feel extremely excited to watch.

Gun battles, explosions, vehicle chases, and scenes such as the explosion of a cross-sea viaduct can be said to be absolute explosions in terms of visual effects.

Interspersed with the previous ending of "The World Has No Nuclear Forces", the dialogue between THE BOSS and Snake in Huahai made the players curious about their own plot. Simply put, it was a trick.

And this kind of trickery is very effective for players.

The story process of the entire game exceeds 16 hours, which is why the DLC took so long. The process is not as long as "Metal Gear: The Phantom Pain", but it is definitely not short.

Unlike the series of previous Xingyun games, the DLC "Snake Eater" will be unlocked for a fee, priced at 60 yuan.

It's about the same price as a small indie game.

For the DLC charge of Nebula game this time,

Players are also talking about it.

"Is the DLC charged? Aren't the DLCs before "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" free? Why are they suddenly charged?"

"It's not in my conscience anymore, Xingyun Games will not be my big brother in the future! The DLC is actually charged!"

"Speechless, I thought the DLC would be free? Why is it charged? It's gone."

Previously, the DLC of most Nebula games did not open the charging mode, which made it difficult for some players who were used to it.

However, more players still said that it doesn't matter, as long as the quality of the game is high enough.

"It's poisonous to say that the fee is poisonous? The three majors and the foreign 3A, how many DLCs do you see that don't charge? Not to mention the DLC of a brand new game like "Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain", even some clothes DLC Is it not enough to be able to sell the price of a 3A masterpiece, and the DLC of 'Snake Eater' is only sold at the price of an independent game?"

"Wait and see to see if the content of DLC is worth buying."

"Don't force me, open the pre-order quickly! The wallet is already hungry and thirsty!"

Many players also expressed their acceptance of charging for the DLC of "Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain", and judging from the information released by "Snake Eater", it can be said that the content is quite sufficient.

For Yang Chen and the others, charging for DLC was also a helpless move.

Unlike the DLC of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", the development cost of the "Snake Eater" DLC on "Metal Gear: The Phantom Pain" is much higher than that of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim".

Real-time calculation of in-game cutscenes, as well as more new maps and art modeling, these are very large cost expenditures.

Although there are brand new maps in the DLC of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", because of the background of the game itself, many art materials in the new maps are reused.

But in the DLC of 'Snake Eater', Yang Chen and the others had no way to do this. A lot of materials were actually remade, and what remained unchanged was the core structure of "Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain".

Counting the salaries of the employees, outsourced art projects, and dubbing, etc., the cost of this DLC alone is about 15 million.

Compared with "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", it is much higher.

Moreover, the DLC of each work is free, which is not a good thing for Xingyun Games. After Yang Chen and Xu Yu's private conversations on weekdays, Xu Yu also has some criticisms about the company's approach.

Players are the most loyal, but also the least loyal; they may become loyal fans of a certain game or production team because of a game; but they may also instantly become hostile enemies because of an operation of the team or company .

Don't let players form a thinking that all DLCs of Xingyun games will be free. Even if a DLC can only be sold for an ordinary independent game, or even at a lower price than an independent game, it should not be free all the time.

This is Xu Yu's suggestion.

And Yang Chen also expressed his acceptance of this. From the price of the game, it can be fed back to the players through various activities. Gear: Ground Zeroes is back with a discount.

Even if the DLC is purchased later, its price is only similar to the price of 3A games from other game manufacturers.

Of course, ordinary players are basically not clear about the internal decisions of the Nebula game, and even people in the industry can't guess the meaning of the Nebula game's practices.

But this sudden change of approach caused some die-hard fans of Nebula Games and Yang Chen's die-hard fans to have another opinion.

"Xingyun Games is about to go bankrupt! Sudden DLC charges, and "Yu-Gi-Oh" is also available on the PC platform. Could it be that the development of "Yu-Gi-Oh" on the VR platform has suffered too much loss?"

"It's possible. After all, there are not so many players on the VR platform, and "Yu-Gi-Oh." A new deck has already been assembled, including the initial deck that can be switched at will, there are 4 decks."

"It feels like the cost of "Yu-Gi-Oh" is almost 100 million U.S. dollars? After all, the screen and optimization on the VR platform are simply blown up."

"The key is not only the game, but also the offline promotion and the animation produced by I company, which is burning money!"

Accompanied by the worrying remarks of a group of fans who love Nebula games, this topic quickly became heated.

At the same time, Xu Yu, who was in charge of opening up new markets for Xingyun games and promoting the project, immediately noticed this.

The publicity department took action immediately, and in an instant, rumors about Xingyun game being too conscientious and about to 'bankrupt' spread in the game circle.

By the way, the DLC "Snake Eater" about "Yu-Gi-Oh" and "Metal Gear: The Phantom Pain" quickly became a hot search term.
