Chapter 177 Hot Tiao War

Chapter 177 Hot Tiao War

"Stay After School: Pinball Storm" has five zones, and these five zones together have millions of players.

Although not everyone among the millions of players is very active, some may only come online to play every now and then, or even forget about the game after playing it once...

But no matter how you calculate it, there must be more than 100,000 or 200,000 active players in one area.

Some of the more popular areas, such as the third area where the empress [Cherry Cake Jam] is located or the fifth area where the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu are located, have almost 300,000 active players.

With so many player resources in hand, it is undoubtedly a very simple matter for the Tudi Emperor, who holds the power of these regional servers, to generate income.

Take it from the people, use it for the people!

Introducing various advertisers, advertising in this area, and then dividing the so-called advertising fees among the players in this area is just one of the ways to generate income.

"Anything more abstract?"

Chen Ba couldn't believe it. Advertising in a game was already very abstract, but then there was an even more abstract business?

"Of course there is..."

Yang Dong explained: "You have to know that with so many players in one area, if a local emperor really mobilizes them, the power they will unleash will undoubtedly be terrifying."

"That's true."

Chen Ba thought for a while and found that this was indeed a very powerful force.

After all, there are so many people here. Even if they become sailors, one of them can turn a black person into a white person.

But it still needs to be monitored.

Players in these regional servers, under the leadership of the local emperors of their respective regional servers, don't mind looking at the advertisements and picking up some wool, but don't go astray and develop a gray industry.

Internet trolls and fraudsters are gray industries that cannot be indulged or ignored.

"It must be supervised!"

"I'm keeping an eye on it, and I've also emphasized to these gaming partners what can and cannot be done..."

Yang Dong said with a smile: "Everyone has the same goal, which is to hope that the game "Don't Leave After School" will become more and more popular, and there will be more and more players in various regional servers."

Since we have a common goal, we will not easily do things that damage the reputation of the game and make small profits.

If there is such a person, Yang Dong will not just watch. He should be dealt with and reported. Any evil will eventually be brought to justice.

as far as I can tell.

With the sponsorship from various advertisers, all regional servers are enjoying a good life, and players have also tasted the benefits.

joke!

By playing the game "Don't Leave After School", you can get certain points by swiping an advertisement. When the points reach a certain amount, you can exchange them for various prizes and even cash. Who wouldn't be happy about this?

Advertisers are also quite happy.

Because advertising in the game "Don't Leave After School" is really useful. Players get a share of the advertising fees, and they don't have much prejudice against advertising, and even have a certain favorable impression.

This leads to the fact that when they want to make a purchase, they will subconsciously gravitate towards the products in the advertisement, as a way of supporting the sponsor dad.

For example, a snack brand placed an advertisement in the fifth district. At first, I just wanted to give it a try and didn't have high hopes.

It turned out to be true!

After the advertisement was launched, sales on their e-commerce platform immediately increased. Many customers left messages expressing support for the "financier" and hoped that the funder would sponsor more of the five districts.

"Why do you support District Five?"

"Our players in the third area have also contributed so much sales. Why don't you take a look at our third area?"

"Poaching, right? If you have the ability, open a cross-server and see who is stronger in your third district or our fifth district!"

"Come just come, whoever wins will take the initiative to withdraw from the competition..."

The comment area of ​​Haohao Spicy Snacks was suddenly occupied by the influx of players from District 3 and District 5 of "Don't Leave After School". Both sides fought to retain advertisers.

The fight really started!

This incident was also recorded in the history books by the community’s neutral historian, calling it the “Latiao War.”

In the spring of 2025, the Latiao War began.

In order to avenge the poaching, the three kings of Wei, Shu and Wu united and sent 100,000 troops to attack the Cherry Kingdom. As a result, they were beaten to a pulp by the Cherry Queen. They signed the "Spicy Tiao Agreement" which was humiliating and humiliating the country. They announced their withdrawal from the competition and gave up the advertisers of the spicy snacks to the three kingdoms. district.

"Don't fight, don't fight, you are all my wings!"

When has this spicy strip factory ever seen such a scene? In the past, when I went to other platforms to advertise, I was like Sun Tzu. I spent money but had no effect, and I couldn't say anything bad.

As a result, advertising in the game "Don't Leave After School" not only became a hot topic for various districts to compete for, but even caused a cross-district war?

In ancient times, King You of Zhou played with the princes with beacon fire, just to get a smile from the beauties. Today, there are three districts and five districts fighting each other, just to get a smile from the beauties!

What a sin!

The advertising effect was so good that it was even unexpectedly good. The spicy strip factory immediately decided to place advertisements in all five districts in the future, without favoring any one district.

They think it's a good deal to do so.

After all, we only advertised in the five districts before, and the sales volume increased so significantly. This time, the advertising directly covers the five districts, so the sales volume still has to take off?

The war that broke out between Districts Three and Five for advertisers of spicy strips not only became a hot topic in the community, but also made it onto the “shameful news list.”

Now out of the circle!

After the news of [Spicy War] was broadcast, the game "Don't Leave After School" became very popular. Countless players were shocked and lamented that there is such a magical game in the world.

As a result, in just two or three days, players who were bored at home during the holidays poured into this game one after another, and the number of active players in each regional server experienced a surge.

Major companies are also taking notice of the game.

Initially, these companies despised and disliked advertising in a game, thinking it was of little significance and the advertising effect was not strong.

But after the news incident of [Latiao War], these companies were shocked to find that advertising in this game is really a good idea?

Look at that spicy strip factory. Taking advantage of this general trend, it took off immediately, and its sales have more than doubled!

Because of the precedent of this spicy strip factory, more and more companies interested in advertising have noticed the "non-mainstream" game "Don't Leave After School".

There are more ads in the game too!

Ever watched a football match?

The football field is surrounded by billboards. There are ads all around the field, and the players play football surrounded by billboards.

This is the case in "Don't Leave After School" right now, with various advertising slogans appearing around the venue during every game.

The game lobby page will also rotate various video advertisements, focusing on an all-pervasive...

If it were any other game, such intensive and frequent advertising would probably have been scolded by players. After all, it has affected the normal gaming experience.

But in the game "Don't Leave After School", players not only have no objections, but even feel grateful to these advertisers.

nonsense!

People pay for it, and the advertising fees are indeed distributed to the players. If you find it annoying, then don't play. Let me watch all the ads.

"How much money do you get?"

Chen Ba was a little curious. It stands to reason that although advertising fees can easily reach hundreds of thousands, with so many players in one area, it wouldn't be much if divided evenly, right?

"That depends on the situation..."

"A single advertisement does not cost much, but the more advertisers there are, the more advertising fees will be distributed to players."

Yang Dong took the third district as an example and made a careful calculation for Chen Ba.

There are currently more than 40 advertising sponsors in the third area, and there are about 300,000 active players.

These 300,000 players will receive higher or lower advertising fees based on their online frequency and average online time. The larger ones can be divided into several thousand yuan, while the smaller ones can be divided into dozens of yuan.

"That's pretty good."

Chen Ba finally understood why players were willing to accept this kind of in-game advertising.

If you go online and play two games every day, you can get a pack of cigarettes, a pack of rice, and a month's electricity and internet bills in a week...

The price you pay is nothing more than enduring the harassment of various advertisements in your daily gaming experience.

But the problem is that these ads are not pop-up rogue ads. Apart from affecting the look and feel of the game, they can actually be played as you want without much impact.

"After the Spring Festival holiday, I plan to update a pure mode switch in the game."

Yang Dong said: "After turning on pure mode, the player will not see any form of game-embedded advertising, and the game experience will not be affected at all."

"Relevant advertisements will only appear after turning off pure mode. At the same time, you will join the district service welfare plan by default and enjoy various benefits and advertising fee sharing provided by advertisers in this district."

"This is good, it really needs to be a mode switching option."

Wang Kun deeply agreed.

Some players may really not be short of money, but they may not look down on these petty profits, and just want to experience the purest game content.

In this case, he can turn on pure mode and treat "Don't Leave After School" as a casual game to kill time.

Turning off pure mode is equivalent to joining the game welfare program.

From this point on, you may encounter various advertising harassment when playing games, but the advantage is that you can make money by playing games.

Yes, you can make money playing games!

The unique mechanism of "Don't Leave After School" and the influx of advertisers from all walks of life determine that you can really make money by playing this game.

At least after turning off the pure mode, there is no such thing as "wasting network fees" when playing this game, because the network fees will definitely not be lost.

However, after eavesdropping on the conversation between the two for so long, Wang Kun also had a doubt.

That is, if the game is converted to a free game, or if more players play the game, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people flood into a district, and there are still so many advertisers, wouldn’t the money received by each player change? not enough?

"It will be less, but..."

"No matter how much you reduce the number, there is still a minimum. You have to understand one truth, that is, the advertising fee for advertising targeting 100,000 people and advertising targeting 1 million people are not the same!"

Chen Ba explained to a good friend: "The number of players in the regional server has increased. It seems that there are more people sharing the cake, but in fact the cake has also become bigger."

There are only a dozen or two hundred thousand people in a district. No matter how much advertising fees are collected, it is impossible to receive more than 1 million.

But if there are 1 million active players in a zone, the advertising fee can rise to more than 1 million!

This principle is easy to understand.

Each advertisement has its own exposure cost. Including advertising on TV stations, the quotation is also determined based on the comprehensive ratings of each TV station.

With this exposure cost, no matter whether the number of players in "Don't Leave After School" increases or decreases in the future, the advertising fee received by each player will not actually change much.

"I see!"

After Wang Kun learned this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm still thinking, what if this game becomes popular and too many new players flood in, causing damage to the interests of the old players."

"Haha, no way."

"It can be said that the more players there are, the better the game will be. After all, the larger the base, the more advertisers will be attracted, and advertising fees will reach new highs again and again."

Speaking of this, Yang Dong seemed to feel a little pity.

The core reason why "Don't Leave After School: Pinball Storm" can form such a model lies in the marble that represents authority.

Because of the existence of that permission marble, players have become the masters and controllers of the game, while game developers have lost their dominance and become regulators.

It is precisely because the players themselves control the future destiny of the game that this kind of thing happens.

As for other games, because they lack such conditions, this possibility naturally does not exist.

Even if Chen Ba suddenly decides to create a prop similar to the "Legendary Marbles" in other games, there is a high probability that he will not be able to reproduce the same scene.

Don't ask why.

The question is that in the game "Don't Leave After School", the concept of "everyone can be king" has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The meaning of the marble is no longer a simple game prop or game permission.

in other words.

Even if Tianba Studio has now eliminated the permission issues caused by game bugs, the traditional marbles in the game no longer have administrator permissions.

But players will still fight tooth and nail for that supreme position...

the reason is simple.

The game environment and atmosphere have been formed. At this time, it no longer matters whether there is the marble or not.

When playing games, it’s not so much the mechanics and gameplay, but the atmosphere and sense of immersion.

For games with a strong sense of substitution, such as some games with touching or even touching plots, even if there is no main mission, players will follow their inner thoughts and promote the continued development of the plot.

For example, a certain game created a very disgusting and disgusting villain.

The main mission does not require the player to kill him, but because the plot is well-shaped and the player's emotions are also incorporated into the game, the villain will definitely die.

When the player is running a mission, he doesn't mind killing this annoying guy. He will do it even if there is no reward or mission.

"Don't Leave After School" creates this sense of substitution and atmosphere.

With this thing, even if the marble suddenly loses its authority, conflicts and fights will still break out between players and between district servers.

After all, this is the mainstream gameplay and everyone is used to it!
