Million-Sales Reward Event
Monday morning.
Netizens who follow Shuo Guang on the Danmu Network, such as the editor of a certain website, reposted all the content of his post to the Fourth Calamity Club within minutes of it being published.
This is, after all, a player community and the place with the highest player traffic.
Anything related to games, big or small, will be brought here.
Players no longer need to search everywhere; they can see everything here, saving time and effort.
Now, some regular users habitually see this prize-winning activity as soon as they open the website.
The post's title was not only straightforward, but also shocking.
[First-day sales surpass one million! To thank players for their strong support and celebrate this exciting sales achievement, Skyhill is partnering with Infinite Network Entertainment to host a floor-reaching prize event! Everyone can participate! Big prizes await!]
The players were all quite shocked upon seeing this.
Let's leave aside the prize-winning activities for now.
Has Skyhill sold over a million copies on its first day?
Everyone clicked on it and saw a festive poster prominently displayed in the center, clearly showing the players the specific sales figures.
A total of 1.44 million sets were sold in 24 hours!
Players could hardly believe their eyes when they saw these sales figures!
Because looking at the history of games over the past decade, very few games have managed to break a million views on their first day!
No, it should be no more than 5!
Because the number was so small, most players remembered exactly which ones they were.
They are:
VR StarCraft sold 1.38 million copies.
1.14 million copies of "SWAT Action".
1.08 million copies of "Citywide Counter-Terrorism".
1.02 million sets of "Emergency Order".
In the past decade, only these four foreign games have achieved sales of over one million on their first day.
Let's not even talk about "VR StarCraft". It was produced by a major company and attracted many people to buy it at the time just because of the word "VR", even though the quality was very poor. But it was worth it because it was a novel experience.
The next three are all FPS games.
This has made first-person shooter games one of the mainstream genres of our time.
And now, the domestic Horror Games "Skyhill" has actually surpassed one million views on its first day!?
And it broke the record of the past decade!
What does 1.44 million in 24 hours even mean?!
Leaving aside the IGame Platform, just consider the 298 yuan price tag on the Cyber Platform.
That's 429 million after deducting 1.44 million!
429 million!
This game is making a killing!
No wonder Only Game is holding prize-winning events to reward players.
This is truly a source of pride for Chinese gamers!
And this phenomenal game, how could Jiyou Network shamelessly demand its removal from app stores?!
That's incredibly shameless!
Players' impression of it immediately dropped a few points.
However, after seeing the sales figures for Skyhill, players thought about it again and realized something was amiss.
After all, this game is sold globally, and many channels were contacted and numerous qualifications were issued before unlocking.
It can be said that they did a lot of publicity work.
It is said that some independent VTubers from Japan took off with the help of "Skyhill".
Therefore, it is understandable that they have this sales volume.
Although the merchants made a fortune.
But the players had a great time!
It doesn't seem like a bad thing.
Since Only Game has made so much money, their event rewards must be pretty good too, right?
The players scrolled down, and when they saw what was happening, their eyes widened in disbelief!
The activity can be briefly summarized as follows:
Thank you for your continued support of Only Game. The entire development team of Skyhill is sincerely happy that you enjoy the game, which has led to unprecedented success.
In order to make the players' support worthwhile, after multiple communications with the publisher Infinite Network Entertainment, Only Game has decided to give back to the players for their enthusiasm!
Starting today, the first ten players to reach the 10th, 5th, 2nd, and 1st floors in the game "Skyhill" can send their video and platform ID to the email address below.
After confirmation, a designated person will contact the winner, who can then fill out the relevant information to receive the generous reward.
Each floor is limited to 10 players, with a maximum of 40 players.
The ranking is not based on floor number:
First place: 10,000 RMB + 3-month discount (-50%) on the IGame Platform + opportunity to have your character credited in the next game + one-year premium membership to Danmu Network.
Second place: 5000 RMB + 2 months discount (-30%) on the IGame Platform + opportunity to have your character credited in the next game + one year of premium membership on Danmu Network.
Third place: 3000 RMB + 1 month discount (-10%) on the IGame Platform + opportunity to have your character credited in the next game + 1 year membership to Danmu Network.
Fourth place: 1000 RMB + one year of premium membership to Danmu Network.
10th place: 500 RMB + one year of premium membership to Danmu Network.
In addition to the above rewards, the first player in China to complete Skyhill (limited to one person) will receive a super grand prize!
Grand Prize for Completion: 50,000 RMB + 3-month discount on the IGame Platform (-75%) + opportunity to have your character credited in your next game + one-year premium membership to Danmu Network
If you are playing online, please also provide the online users; the rewards will be distributed equally.
The above activities are only open to players in China. Overseas players, please look forward to the next, more comprehensive event!
Wo Cao
This reward is simply incredible!
The players were completely stunned!
Is the Only Game making money just being this generous?
With 40 players, that's nearly 100,000.
The grand prize for clearing the game is a reward of 50,000 yuan per person!
That's incredibly extravagant!
The Only Game is indirectly encouraging players to complete the game!
But what really amazes players, besides the monetary reward, is the opportunity to name their character in the next game!
This means that players who reach the lower floors of Skyhill first will have the opportunity to see their names in the new game!
And it's highly likely that it's an NPC!
Etc!
The players were taken aback, and then a possibility came to mind.
Does this mean that Only Game is already preparing its next game?
Thinking of this, players began leaving comments below the post.
"From today onwards, I am the Only Game! It's rare to see a game company this generous!"
"That's right! As long as you play games, you can get money, discounts, premium memberships, and even the opportunity to have your character credited in their next game!"
"Damn it, other companies are so stingy. When they have a prize-winning activity, they either ask you to share and like it, or they randomly pick people. I don't even look at those because I'm basically out of luck. But with this Only Game, as long as you play the game, you have a chance. I can't refuse!"
"There's a chance to make money playing a game, that's unbelievable. I'm only on Floor 94 now, while the experts in the group are already on floor 88. Sigh, I'm hopeless."
"This event doesn't require you to do this or that. You just play the game like usual and you have a chance to win. It's practically a free reward!"
"If you get the chance to be credited for your character so soon, I guess the next game will be one where you can talk to a lot of NPCs, like an online game."
"Skyhill has only been released for one day, and they've already created the folder for their next game?"
"I really want to get credit for my character, I really want my name to appear in the game."
At this time, the Fourth Calamity Club was abuzz with discussion about the event rewards.
Many more players went to the Danmu Network to send private messages to Meng Shu, asking if the character attribution he mentioned in his posts was true, and if so, whether there would be many NPCs in the next game, and whether it would be a horror RPG.
However, their inquiries were destined to go unanswered.
At this moment, Meng Shu was inspecting the land and environment of the new company in the Jichuang Industrial Park in Shencheng.
Just to clarify, the next game will only reveal the tip of the iceberg, and we'll also need to choose a suitable containment object to begin revealing the mystery. Therefore, the game chosen might not be one of the more common ones; we'll pick a relatively niche one.
