Chapter 10: 10
When the Snowflake employees were busy with the tasks John Doe had assigned, Penguin Games' first-day sales data also came out. At this time, a group of employees convened for a meeting.
The general planner got the results of the first day of "Desert Journey."
Three million downloads on the first day!
The result was much lower than what they expected. Looking at the report in his hand, Tony Smith's brows were furrowed.
"How come the number of downloads on the first day is so much lower than expected?!"
Yesterday, there were 500,000 downloads within half an hour of going online, but after a day passed, there was an increase of only 2.5 million?
With this result on the first day, how can they enter the mobile game market so strongly?
Buyout system game sales mainly depend on the early stage, and the download volume will plummet in the later stage.
As a result, the first day was so bad, how can I fix it later?!
Tony Smith pointed to the sales trend in the report and asked: "Noon and afternoon were all good, why did the download volume drop so much at night? Isn't this the time when players play games? Sales have dropped instead?!"
He must know the reason for the poor sales. In order to enter the mobile game market, they have made preparations for a long time.
But he didn't want the project to be cut in half!
"This... General Planner, there are competitors," said the head of the marketing department hesitantly.
"Competitors?"
Tony Smith frowned deeper: "Didn't I conduct market research a long time ago? Those big game manufacturers have not made mobile games recently. Where are the competitors?!"
"It's the small studio I mentioned earlier that built its own webpage."
"Um?!"
Hearing this, Tony Smith couldn't help but be taken aback. He remembered that such a game company had indeed been mentioned before.
But...
Free games, build your own web sales games.
With this kind of game operation strategy that is almost equivalent to nothing, could it become a competitor to his own company?!
"What's going on, explain clearly."
Jack, the head of the marketing department, explained: "The game company found an influencer on the Shark platform to help them promote the game.
Last night, many people watched the live broadcast and then turned to their website to download the game. Because of the live broadcast, their game has been on the trending hot search, and it hasn't come down yet."
"The reason our game sales dropped so much at night is because of their game, which took our players away."
Hearing this, Tony Smith's face suddenly collapsed.
He also said yesterday that such a small company is not worthy of their attention, and as a result, it has become their biggest competitor today?!
"Free Games..."
"Huh! Do they really want to do charity for players? A game is made without any intention of making any money?"
"Is there such an idiot in the world?"
He said he didn't believe it at all, and Tony Smith ordered his subordinates: "You should investigate this game in detail immediately, and send the detailed data report to my office later. I would like to see what company would do such a stupid thing!"
Tony Smith turned to leave the conference room and returned to his office.
After all, it's a big game company.
Penguin employees are very productive.
In just one hour, the core gameplay of the game with detailed data about Genshin Impact was summarized and sent to Tony Smith's office.
Jack Lin, the head of the marketing department, knocked on the door of Tony Smith's office.
At this time, his face was shocked.
Tony Smith took the report he handed over with a puzzled expression: "What kind of expression do you have? Are you dumbfounded from doing a survey for me?"
"No, General Planner, I'm just amazed
