The Only Game to Achieve the Best Pre-sale
Steam’s executive piqued Su Ping’s interest with his words.
“Can I do that? It will take some time before Zombie Apocalypse III is officially released. Is it alright to start the preorders now?”
The man smiled and continued.
“You’re overthinking the situation. Many games bounce their checks, and some even bounce them for a year. However, everyone has approved of your strength.”
“The majority of the players will choose to trust you and will be willing to pay for your game in advance.”
“The first three games you’ve released are all free. I’m sure you’re currently suffering from the financial crisis.”
“That’s why I made such a proposal. Of course, you can decide yourself.”
“Please consider it carefully. If you agree, you can email the person in charge of our platform. He will tell you how to do it, and the platform will also allocate publicity resources to help you!”
“I’m looking forward to working with you!”
They simply chatted for a while before the video conference ended in a hurry.
After careful consideration, Su Ping looked at the balance on his bank card on his phone and compromised to reality in the end.
He had been transmigrated to this world for some time, yet on the first day, he quit his previous job.
He was soon in poverty since he didn’t gain any income from the three games he had released previously.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSu Ping was tempted by the suggestions given by Steam’s executive.
He trusted the system’s ability. Other games might bounce their checks, but he would never do that!
Su Ping emailed the person in charge according to the terms and attached the prices for the pre-sales.
As expected, Steam attached great importance to the matter and handled it exceptionally quickly.
An announcement appeared on Steam’s home page in less than three hours.
Every player who logged on to Steam would see the advertisement!
“Zombie Apocalypse III is now available for pre-sale. You can enjoy a 15% discount and get a luxury gift bag by purchasing the game now!
At the same time, you’ll get a unique Su Ping hardcore fan logo to show it off in the community!
Hurry up and pre-order it! After pre-ordering, you can also download the game in advance. You can download the game in advance as soon as the game installation package is available. You can enjoy the game as soon as the game is officially open beta!”
The advertisement quickly caused an uproar among the players as soon as the advertisement appeared.
In particular, it happened when everyone was currently discussing A Quiet Place. The sudden pre-sale of Zombie Apocalypse III had caught the players off guard!
[Happiness comes of a sudden. Haha! What a laxative update!]
[Su Ping is a blessing to us gamers. I’ll place the order now!]
[Don’t fight with me! I will hang the symbol of Su Ping’s hardcore fan on my body as soon as possible!]
[Hehe! I’m proud to walk around the community with the symbol of Su Ping’s hardcore fan!]
The pre-sales had just begun, and the number of orders had reached 10,000 in just a minute!
An hour later, the number of pre-orders exceeded 100,000, breaking the world’s historical pre-order record!
In the entire world, only games with famous IPs would have a lot of players paying for them during pre-sales.
Although the game gave a 15% discount during the players’ purchase in pre-sales, it didn’t stop Su Ping from becoming a multi-millionaire in just one hour!
Afterward, Su Ping received congratulatory messages from Mikuya and Angelica.
“Congratulations, Su Ping. You’ve successfully become a multi-millionaire. You must make more exciting games in the future!”
“Thank you for your congratulations. If there’s a new game, I’ll let you play it first!”
With the pre-sales of Zombie Apocalypse III and the official release of A Quiet Place, the gaming community had transformed into a global carnival.
As players successfully cleared A Quiet Place one after another, all kinds of game hacks were posted on the internet, leaving the other events in the dust.
The players who had already cleared the stage were also not content with doing so. They began to do weird things!
Many game hackers began looking for strange ways to kill monsters, including many unorthodox methods.
For example, one of the players came to a city stadium, turned on the loudspeaker, and broadcast it to the entire city.
The broadcast device had even been modified by some of the players who worked in tech support so that the speaker’s output could be louder.
All the monsters in the city would violently tremble and die in agonizing pain as long as a player pressed a button!
The revelry lasted for nearly a week before it finally ended.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPeople’s attention and focus returned to their daily lives.
However, the impact of A Quiet Place on people’s lives was not over yet.
Aside from its popularity on the internet, A Quiet Place soon began to affect mainstream culture in reality!
The first time Su Ping learned about the situation was when Angelica sent him a picture.
It was a street near Angelica’s house. Many people were on the street, and it was considered the most prosperous place in the area.
On the street, several special signs asking people to remain quiet appeared on both sides of the shops’ entrance.
Some people placed these decorations on the door plate to attract guests to enter.
In addition to the changes in people’s daily lives, many investors also discovered business opportunities.
They set up A Quiet Place theme park, similar to the outdated haunted house.
With its massive IP and popularity, A Quiet Place theme park was bound to outperform the haunted house on the verge of extinction. A Quiet Place theme park would become a new popular spot for youngsters to visit!
The impact on the economy and social culture of A Quiet Place was becoming more significant.
Many people who had never played A Quiet Place or who were already old had heard that such a game existed.
However, A Quiet Place was a horror game, after all. It was not suitable for people in poor health to try it.
Especially for people with heart disease, it was definitely not suitable to play such a horror game.
Su Ping had made similar preparations on the game’s log-in page.
Before entering the game, the game would verify the player’s identity first. The player would have to confirm that he had no significant mental or physical illness before he was allowed to log in!
These were for the sake of the players. Su Ping didn’t want any safety issues to happen since it would hugely impact the game’s reputation.
