The launch of "Gundam" dungeon once again brought a large number of new players to Infinite Time and Space, and it also allowed the number of simultaneous online players in the world to reach a new height in history after "Transformers" and once again stimulated all dungeon suppliers. His nerves have soured many people.

Moreover, the copy of "Gundam" has also achieved excellent reputation and unanimous praise from players. The mechas created in "Gundam" are also very popular among players.

Soon, as Gu Zheng had expected, the official of Infinite Time and Space took the initiative to invite them to adapt the official copy, and directly gave the development permission to the 100-level official copy. After all, no one would have trouble with money. The IP of "Gundam" has Anyone can understand the potential for attracting money.

In addition to the development of the official copy, Infinite Space also requested to work with Zhengfeng Interactive Entertainment to develop a complete set of paid "product" solutions.

In fact, Zhengfeng Interactive Entertainment has already prepared a "product" plan early on, but Infinite Space clearly has high revenue expectations for "Gundam", which is more ruthless than Zhengfeng Interactive Entertainment.

Therefore, after discussions with Infinite Time and Space, a set of krypton gold system and equipment system that can bring more income to both parties and harvest more player pockets has been developed.

Under this system, 80% of mechas and warships need to be obtained through the box opening mode.

However, the acquisition of mechas and battleships is only the beginning, and the krypton gold system surrounding mechas and battleships is even more "freakish", which definitely allows players to pay for it.

For example, the same mecha and battleship will also be divided into quality levels. Even the top mechas such as Freedom Gundam and Justice Gundam are also divided into at least three different quality levels.

The quality level can be improved through subsequent "upgrades", but the process of upgrading is also a process of burning money.

As for the maintenance costs of mechas and battleships, it is a bottomless pit...

The experiential copy of "Gundam" was launched less than half a month ago, and all the items of "Gundam" were officially launched on the Infinite Time Mall. Countless "Gundam" fans around the world also started an open box war.

In just one day, the props derived from "Gundam" created the myth of a single day of 20 billion US dollars on the entire infinite space-time platform, and of course, created many new myths about the European emperor and the non-chief.

For example, You Shenhao directly spent nearly 30 million U.S. dollars to launch the first Freedom Gundam in Infinite Time and Space, and then this record was quickly broken by another Shenhao. Two sets of Liberty Gundam, but the quality is only the lowest.

Of course, the comparison between the non-chiefs brought out the luck of the European kings. Someone used less than five million US dollars to open a medium-quality Freedom Gundam, which immediately attracted many bigwigs to bid and buy.

But those who can spend millions of dollars to open a box to buy Liberty Gundam are basically true fans, and they are all people who don't need money, so it is natural that they are not willing to sell it after finally opening a Liberty Gundam.

With the contributions of countless true love fans, "Gundam" has created one myth after another in infinite time and space, breaking one historical record after another.

However, the upsurge of "Gundam" also triggered another unprecedented phenomenon.

On the day of the launch of Gundam’s entire series of props, the sales of ET’s mecha props experienced a cliff-like decline, and the sales of interstellar warships and other items were also affected.

What's more frightening is that a large number of mechas that have been sold have been sold, and the transaction price has been falling all the way. These signs all confirm that ET's most worried thing seems to be happening.

The mechas that belonged to their ET seem to really no longer exist, the era that belonged to them is really quietly passing away, and the infinite time-space mecha item market has completely changed.

With the passage of time, the game props derived from "Gundam" quickly encroached on ET’s original market share, while the sales of ET’s mecha props continued to drop, and the transaction price between players was less than half of the original. .

The sense of crisis has forced ET companies to take measures. Since "Gundam" went online, ET companies have held meetings one after another to discuss countermeasures.

But obviously the trend is over, and it is impossible for them to return to the top. The only feasible way is to prevent their market from being eaten up by Zhengfeng Mutual Entertainment.

Therefore, price reduction, promotion, and increase of box opening rate are inevitable, but it is not a long-term solution. How to create a new IP that can compete with "Gundam" and design a mecha that meets the current mainstream aesthetics Type is the top priority.

"Isn't there an anime similar to Gundam currently on the market? Isn't there on Hishima?" Billy Newell asked.

"There is indeed no IP that can compete with "Gundam" at present, but there are some comic works that follow the trend on the market. The one that performs better at present is a comic called "Interstellar Warframe" by Hichishima. The plot is very good. The mecha style is also very close to the mecha in Gundam!"

"Adapting mature comics IP is indeed the fastest, but there is also the risk of failure. I think the more we are in this situation, the more we should settle down and consider originality and transformation.

If we follow the trend of "Gundam", it is tantamount to proving that we admit in our hearts that we are inferior to each other's entertainment, and even an act of compromise and surrender, which will seriously affect our company's position in the minds of players.

And the player's aesthetics will change over time, just as they once liked the mecha style we created, Gundam will have a passing day.

So I think the most important thing we need to do now is to recreate an explosive IP based on market changes and combining our own advantages and characteristics. Even if we can’t get us back to the top, at least we can share the same score with Zhengfeng Interactive Entertainment. , Zhengfeng Interactive Entertainment can original "Gundam", and we can do it too. I believe our team has this kind of strength! "Mike Pierce said earnestly.

The last time their company followed suit with the Iron Man mech in "The Avengers", although it did increase the sales of the company's mecha items, it also had a serious impact on the company's image.

It feels like the goddess who is above the top in the player's mind, suddenly "going into the sea" one day, and the great image that was originally established is no longer at all.

And falling down from the altar is sometimes a momentary thing. After the "Avengers", their company's position in the infinite space-time mecha category began to shake.

Now that the appearance of "Gundam" has completely magnified this hidden danger, ET's mecha has also completely fallen from the altar.

"I agree with Mike's idea that we can no longer self-destruct our image. We have to use our strength to prove that our position in the field of mecha copies and mecha items is still unshakable!"

"Well, we have to show up and confront Zhengfeng head-to-head for mutual entertainment!"

Everyone also agreed with Mike Pierce's idea. If they eagerly succeed this time, follow the trend of "Gundam", and choose to compromise and bow to the market, they will completely fall from the altar and completely disappoint their original fans.
