Chapter 518: They were also big brothers

More detailed data about TEU has been disclosed, and more and more groups of game manufacturers have noticed this new platform.

In the latest data from SuperData, a professional third-party data statistician, the TEU daily peak online reached 21 million, and the real-time online basically remained at around 10 million.

Whether most of these are attracted to multiplayer games in TEU such as League of Legends, Dota 2, Rainbow Six, PUBG, these games, or most of them just use third-party software to hang up, However, the TEU, which has just been online in terms of online number, has integrated three flows of EA, Ubisoft and Tianhe Network. It is undoubtedly that it is not lost to the steam platform.

After deducting the number of false online platform hang-ups, there is no way to accurately calculate, after all, not only the TEU includes the steam platform itself, because of the existence of card settings, many users and players will use third-party hang-up software to hang up the game Accumulate time to get cards.

Discarding these factors, at least on the surface data, the difference between TEU and the steam platform is not large, and in terms of game sales performance, the games that landed on the TEU platform seem to be no worse than the steam platform.

In addition to the users, the TEU platform is adding new registered users at a very high rate every day, most of them from the China region.

After all, TEU has more advantages than the steam platform in certain channels, although the two sides maintain the same plan in terms of operational strategy.

But for ordinary Chinese players in China, this is not the case. A product that has almost the same experience as the steam platform, and this platform also has the blessing of the domestic label, it is self-evident in the first impression choice.

At the same time, the more important point is that compared with the steam platform, TEU has a stronger appeal.

What attracts most players?

Games, 3A games.

There is no doubt that there is such a label on TEU.

After TEU publicly announced that the peak number of online users exceeded 20 million, they successively announced their next plans.

EA's new FIFA, battlefield, Sims, Need for Speed ​​and other new works will be exclusively on TEU.

This is nothing to say, and players are not surprised, after all, EA games will never land on the steam platform, and this is not a mandatory requirement expressed by the platform, but a matter decided by the manufacturer itself.

Ubisoft also said that sequels such as blockades, watchdogs, and Assassin's Creed will land on TEU, and some of its games, such as stunt motorcycles, will be exclusively on TEU.

The Tianhe Network, which has become a human, alien world, and Xingshen Chain, will then land on the steam and TEU platforms, but there is no pre-order discount on the steam platform, and there is a 15% pre-order discount on the TEU platform.

This is definitely a big blow for the steam platform.

Today’s steam platforms still look prestige, but at this stage they are actually a little embarrassed. After the launch of Half-Life and Counter-Strike, they haven’t had a work for a long time. Only a Counter-Strike launched halfway. Sequel, global offensive.

The Steam Platform itself does not have any games to play, except for their Counter-Strike and Team Fortress.

There is really no masterpiece in the top ten rankings. Ubisoft’s blockade is barely one, including a dinosaur-based survival game Ark developed by Wildcard, as well as Xiaoqiang’s warframe and Sega’s football manager.

But the online numbers of these games are actually not very satisfactory, even if they are loaded together, they can only reach the online peak of about 1.5 million people.

Why can the steam platform surpass so many? The main reason is that in the past time, enough masterpieces have landed on the steam platform.

Many players now say that if the game leaves the steam platform, they will not buy it. This is just because they have so many options, and they can even play pirated copies.

But if one day, all manufacturers are willing to abandon their profits, leave the steam platform and weaken the single-line plot in the game, or implement a strategy of full network connection.

That player will still leave the steam platform and embrace his favorite game.

After all, for a platform, games are the most important element. Of course, this kind of thing is almost impossible. After all, game manufacturers are not one-size-fits-all.

But this is enough for vavle to be cautious. In the latest TEU data was disclosed, the vavle headquarters in Seattle, Washington, basically remained semi-retired, and Gaby Newell, who gave the internal affairs to other people, held a meeting. Internal high-level meeting.

"We need to be vigilant and have to say that for the steam platform, it can definitely rise to the moment of the crisis." Gabe Newell said seriously in the surprised eyes of the senior management.

"EPIC will definitely sign an exclusive agreement with more manufacturers. Originally, we only need to wait and see the changes. If the sales of the EPIC are frustrated, the manufacturer will naturally think that the EPIC platform will not work, so we will come back to us. From the perspective of the performance of the steam platform manufacturers, this is as we expected, but now it is different." Gabe Newell said.

Because they have a new choice, TEUgames.

Just last week, more than 15 game manufacturers have entered the TEU.

Although TEU stated that they would not promote exclusivity, and even their own games will also land on the steam platform, but only to talk about it.

If there is really a chance, the exclusive game can kill the steam platform, do you think they will take the monopoly?

"We need to make some changes to keep these big manufacturers and their 3A games, otherwise the next year is likely to be only independent games and the second echelon games of the steam platform, and some little butter." Someone made suggestions.

"Reducing the cost of games with high enough sales, and at the same time we bear the cost of the discount part, to fight against TEU, at least we can not continue to let them go like this ~www.NovelMTL.com~ We need to develop a game Now, a game with enough power to carry them, just like Blizzard," someone suggested.

With the continued bad news and the fall of the masterpiece Titan, in addition to continuing to operate World of Warcraft, Blizzard developed a card game, a card game about WOW, and then it was instantaneously popular. The handover stick of World of Warcraft.

This temporarily allowed Blizzard to stabilize the situation.

"Yes, we need a game that can carry the tripod." Gabe Newell nodded.

When it comes to vavle, people will talk about the steam platform, but they have to know that they also started with games!

Half-life, follow-up MOD extension Counter-Strike, Team Fortress, Portal, they are not just a game platform, but the industry's top game development company!

They used to be big brothers too!

Although this gangster has been around for more than a decade, he has no hands-on...
