191: Chapter 191 International Server
Wang Ye happily opened the ranked mode.
Currently, there was still only one map, and that was Iwo Jima.
Wang Ye didn't know why it had to be Iwo Jima, but he didn't think much of it.
"By the way, brothers, isn't there an International Server? How do I get into the International Server? I don't really want to stay on the China Server; I want to play with those foreigners." Wang Ye suddenly remembered the International Server and hurriedly asked the audience in his livestream room.
"Brother Wang, the International Server is sold abroad. Those who pre-ordered domestically are all on the China Server."
"That's right, unless you go and buy another copy."
Wang Ye was stunned upon seeing this.
Good grief, he had been wondering why he didn't see the option for the International Server.
It turned out that the China Server and the International Server were not the same server.
"Damn, brothers, why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known, I would have pre-ordered the International Server."
Wang Ye slapped his forehead.
It wasn't that he felt it would cost more money; the cost of two games was not much for him.
He just wanted to stream on the International Server so he could capture the traffic first.
Playing against his own people on the China Server felt less interesting to him.
Playing against those foreigners, especially against players from Japan, would be much more interesting.
"The International Server hasn't even been released yet, Brother Wang. You should just honestly play on the China Server first."
"That's right, the International Server won't be out for another week."
Wang Ye had no choice but to accept reality.
"Alright then, let's play on the China Server first, and we'll go mess around on the International Server once it comes out."
Wang Ye said, clicking to start ranked.
...
The day after the game went online, sales exceeded 200 million.
The growth rate was very gratifying.
Yesterday, the game's 24-hour concurrent player count reached as high as 100 million.
Although this was related to yesterday being a day off, such data still set a 24-hour online record for a game in this world.
In the villa, looking at the excellent game data, Zhou Yang was quite satisfied.
Compared to the cost of game development and operations, the revenue gained was dozens of times that cost.
"Sister Yang, this second part is also a huge success." Zhou Yang looked at Yang Ruoxue, who was sitting to the side, and shared his joy with her.
"Mm." Yang Ruoxue nodded.
Although she had expected it, seeing such results, the happiness on Yang Ruoxue's face was unstoppable.
She could receive half of the revenue from this game.
Her net worth had suddenly increased significantly.
"By the way, how is that game commissioned by the authorities coming along?" After the initial excitement, Yang Ruoxue asked with concern.
"That one is also almost finished."
"Is that game single-player or multiplayer?"
"Single-player, there is no multiplayer for now." Zhou Yang shook his head.
"Not for now?" Yang Ruoxue was a bit confused when she heard Zhou Yang say that.
"Yes, there might be a multiplayer DLC later, but that will be after this single-player game is released." Zhou Yang explained.
"Mm, then take your time making it; there's no rush for this." Yang Ruoxue didn't urge him; for one, it wasn't necessary, and for another, it really wasn't urgent.
Time flew by, and seven days later, the new game's International Server was officially launched.
As soon as the International Server went online, it caused a huge uproar in countries outside of China.
Especially in neighboring Japan.
Because the background of this war was Japan's sneak attack on MeeLeeSoft's Pearl Harbor.
Then MeeLeeSoft declared war on Japan.
Finally, Japan was nuked.
As soon as this game went online, Japan collectively went to leave negative reviews, but they found that they had to buy the game to leave a negative review, and if they refunded it, the negative review would disappear and not count towards the score.
Discovering this situation, these people from Japan were all as if they had eaten Lao Ba's secret burger, but many still chose to spend money to buy the game to leave negative reviews.
However, Japan's population is only over 100 million; no matter how much they review, they couldn't leave many negative reviews.
On the contrary, on the other side of the ocean from Japan, MeeLeeSoft had a population of over 500 million, and when they saw Japan leaving negative reviews, they rushed to leave positive reviews.
After all, the winner of the war between the two countries in this game was their MeeLeeSoft.
Chinese players were not to be outdone; Japan was just a small country with a population of over 100 million, which was only one-thirtieth of China's.
Don't think of Japan as a large population country internationally, but compared to China, it was the difference between an adult and a child.
Hearing that Japan was crazily leaving negative reviews on the International Server, Chinese players were immediately indignant.
Even those Chinese players who hadn't planned to buy this International Server, after hearing about this, bought the game one after another.
Whether they played it or not was another matter; Japan was riding on their heads, and this anger had to be vented.
In the end, the game's positive rating, with the unity of Chinese players and the support of MeeLeeSoft and other countries, stabilized at 97%.
This International Server could not only be downloaded by one country, but all countries could download it.
The key was that they were all on one server, and the game could achieve zero latency.
With this game's zero latency, even in all parts of the world, one could play fairly, without any latency difference.
Zhou Yang didn't know what kind of technology this was, but since this technology existed, it had to be used.
Zhou Yang looked at the backend data of the International Server, and sales were soaring.
Although it was not as terrifying as the China Server's growth, it was still quite a lot.
After all, not all countries were China, with such a large population.
Moreover, his international pricing was much more expensive than the China Server.
If the price was expensive, there would naturally be fewer sales.
On the internationally famous social software in this world, "world war ii: pacific war" was very popular.
Before this game was released, there was a lot of discussion.
They all hoped that this game could release an International Server.
As a result, an International Server was actually released, and the popularity suddenly skyrocketed.
"Baka, the Chinese are so insidious, they actually slander our Great Japanese Empire like this!"
"I want to find out everything in this game where the Chinese slander us!"
At this time, a Japanese streamer on the platform was live streaming this game.
His livestream room was full of people from Japan.
His words resonated with all the Japanese in the livestream room.
This Japanese streamer saw the audience constantly tipping him, and the smile on his face was unstoppable.
"Hahaha, just keep tipping, the more the better."
"When I earn enough, I'll run directly to MeeLeeSoft."
Japanese streamer Pun: No-Pants opened the game, and as soon as he entered the game, he experienced the Story Mode.
When Pun: No-Pants entered the game, his first reaction was that the game was too realistic.
Realistic to the point of being incredible.
"My god, why is this game so realistic? How could this be a game that Chinese people could make?"
Pun: No-Pants' face was gloomy, looking very incredulous.
The Japanese audience in the livestream room saw this and were all shocked.
They were also using virtual cabins, and these virtual cabins were imported from China.
When these Japanese viewers saw such a realistic game scene, they were all amazed.
Then they shouted, impossible, absolutely impossible.
Although they knew they were deceiving themselves, admitting it was harder to accept than deceiving themselves.
