“A total of 3 million copies of the game were sold on the first day of listing, my god, is the game industry going to replace oil and become the number one industry in the universe?” When the first day of the Steam Game Online Store was announced, All the game companies that pay attention to all of this are watching the double-share warfare. They suddenly felt that maybe the entire game industry channel is about to usher in a huge reshuffle.

Of course, by the 2nd day, this sales figure plummeted by half, and only 1 million games were sold on the 2nd day. This is also normal, and it fully reflects another characteristic of game online sales, that is, the sales volume on the first day is fierce, then it begins to fall off a cliff, and finally enters a slow curve.

This is normal, because there are no restrictions on queuing, quantity, etc., all players can buy their favorite games on the first day, so the sales on the first day are naturally high and abnormal, and in the next few days Will drop quickly.

By the time of the fifth day, only 200,000 copies were sold in one day, so that all game developers relaxed, this “Warcraft III” is finally not so abnormal.

But they seem to have forgotten that although they only sold 200,000 copies a day and compared with the 3 million points on the first day, it was indeed a drop, but this is already abnormally high. After all, 99% of the games in the world are It is impossible to have a miracle that sells 200,000 copies a day.

Finally, on the fifth day, according to the data displayed by the Steam Game Online Store, after five days, the entire store is estimated to have sold 5.25 million copies of “Warcraft III”. According to this data stock, it is estimated that it will exceed 10 million a month and a year. Breaking 30 million may not be a problem. This steam game online store is indeed a very good choice. With a 70% share, many game developers have already begun to stir and are ready to cooperate with the steam game online store.

But they don’t know, this is actually just the beginning.

Burkeby is a programmer. Recently, he was busy with the company’s work. After a busy day of work, Burkeby’s greatest pleasure is playing games.

“Is it playing on the computer today, or playing with my little computer change, or playing with my PS2?” Burkeby looked at his computer desktop somewhat absent-minded, although he already had hundreds of different Game, but now he still doesn’t know what game to play, which is really too bad.

“Look at what’s interesting on Amazon!” Burkeby sighed and decided to go to Amazon’s flea market. This flea market is a place where second-hand goods are sold. There are always some very interesting things in it. Old bastard, Burkeby himself often finds some treasures there.

But what Burkeby didn’t expect was that when he opened the Amazon homepage at one point, he saw a scarlet picture, which was a scene of an orc holding an axe confronting a fully armed human soldier.

“What kind of ad is this?” Burkeby started. For a game hobbyist, it was a bit of a surprise to see such an obvious fantasy game-style promotional image on Amazon.

Then Burkeby instinctively clicked on the picture, and then jumped directly into a web link: “The continuation of Legendary, the game god Yapeng Jia personally made it, the strongest real-time strategy game in history: “Warcraft III ·Reign of Chaos” is now on sale, click to play!”

“What the hell, Warcraft III has been released, it was made by Jia Yapeng himself!” Burkeby was shocked.

Although the Great-Thousand game has already carried out a lot of publicity in advance, in 2000, no matter how strong the publicity was, it was a very remarkable achievement to have 14 audiences get the message.

But Burkeby normally doesn’t do anything except playing games and going to work. He doesn’t even bother to read news and magazines, and naturally doesn’t know about Warcraft III.

At the same time, Berkeby was also very shocked by this promotion. What is a click-to-play game? Don’t you need to buy a CD to install it yourself?

With curiosity, Burkeby continued to click on the page, and then entered a store called “Steam Game Flagship Store”. This store actually sold a variety of games, and these games are all You can buy directly through Amazon’s points, including this “Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos”.

“Buy!” 6900 points are nothing Great-Thousand for programmer Burkeby, plus he often shop on Amazon, so I don’t doubt whether he can actually buy it with money. Warcraft III · Reign of Chaos”.

After choosing to purchase directly, two options popped up on the web page, namely: purchase the digital version and purchase the physical version.

There is also an explanation below these two options. Those who purchase the digital version can download the game immediately and play.

If you purchase the physical version, you need to wait for the forwarder to deliver it, and the time will not exceed 96 hours. In addition, you need to pay a tip of at least $3.

“Is it really possible to download genuine games directly on the Internet?” Burkeby muttered, and then decisively chose the digital version.

For him, there is actually no difference between the physical version and the digital version, but the digital version can be played several days in advance, which is enough.

After clicking to buy and the deduction is successful, the page jumps directly to a new website that Berkeby has never seen before.

Burkeby took a look and found that the name of this website was Steam.

“It turned out to be a steam game!” Burkeby suddenly realized that anyone who plays the game is impossible and does not know the Steam Game Store. It turns out that this online sales is a Steam Game Store product, which is more trustworthy.

“It was detected that you were redirected to the Steam Games online store through Amazon. Would you like to use an Amazon account to create Steam Games membership?” A new prompt popped up on the page, and Burkeby naturally agreed without thinking.

Thank God, there is no need to register for a member account again. This is so humane!

Burkeby sighed in his heart, but did not realize that he had become a member of Steam Game Store unconsciously.

The next step is to download the game directly through the Steam Game Online Store, the installation is successful, enter the game… and then there is no more, it is said that a full half a month, in addition to the normal working hours, Burkeby’s Friends and colleagues never saw Burkeby again.

And this kind of thing does not only happen on the Amazon platform. When Internet users all over the world turn on their computers every day, habitually click on the browser, enter 51 search, and plan to start a new day of Internet surfing. Suddenly found that under the search box of 51 search, there was a picture suddenly added.

This is a beautiful and alluring picture of an elf with white skin and pointy ears, wearing very little clothing, bending his bow and shooting arrows, aiming at a monster in the distance.
