After thinking about it carefully, I realized that there are really many places where this game can make money!

I want to buy it when I see a strong hero.

I want to buy beautiful skin.

I saw the powerful inscription and wanted to buy it.

Moreover, there are various recharge activities in the game, which reminds you all the time, and if you recharge a little money, I will give you good things!

Moreover, in order to show off in front of girls, many players do not hesitate to buy heroes, skins, or even give girls skins. After a few hundred yuan, they go out for a few hundred yuan...

Moreover, in order to make "Honor of Kings" top the best-selling list of mobile games as soon as possible, Chen Mo also adopted a very simple and crude method, which was the first weekly discount.

In the first week of the game's launch, all heroes and skins were 20% off, and the original price was restored after the first week.

Under this temptation, many players are not calm.

When they encounter the skins they want to buy, the players are also very sober.

This kind of soberness means that they clearly realize that they will always buy it if they don’t buy it now. It’s better to buy it early now and be cheaper...

So after really getting into "Honor of Kings", many players began to recharge in order to buy their favorite heroes and skins.

Some girls are even more fierce in recharge, and some girls even play the game into a dress-up game, just to buy a bunch of good-looking skins for the young lady hero they like to play...

As for the win or loss of the game? It doesn’t matter. Beautiful skin is important!

One week after "Honor of Kings" was launched, the game directly squeezed out "Yuan of the Moon" and became the best-selling list of mobile games, and has been firmly in the first place since then, without any wavering.

In order to maintain its popularity, "Yuan God's Oracle" has also opened many activities, including activities to boost activity and recharge.

But no matter how hard he tries, "Yuan of the Moon God" can only rank second on the best-selling list, and he can't even find "Honor of Kings"!

Qiu Bin was shocked. How much money does "Honor of Kings" make?

Other designers were also shocked because the situation was moving in a completely uncontrollable direction... Many people had realized that "Honor of Kings" might become popular as a moba mobile game, but no one dared to guess how popular it is.

Because there were some of the previous moba mobile games that were doing pretty well, such as the mobile version of "Ancient Catastrophe", but it was a world of difference from the PC-side "League of Legends".

Many people think that the mobile game Moba is just to play a sloppy ball and drink some leftover soup from League of Legends.

But the emergence of "Honor of Kings" shocked many mobile game designers. Could "Honor of Kings" be able to reproduce the glory of League of Legends on the PC side on the mobile terminal?

But the problem is that "Honor of Kings" is just a mobile game that Chen Mo made during the development of the prequel of "Dark Souls"!

...

In Chen Mo's previous life, there is no need to repeat the popularity of "Honor of Kings". Whether it is admitted or accepted or not, it exists objectively.

In terms of data, the daily active average of "Honor of Kings" exceeded 50 million, the peak exceeded 80 million, and the monthly turnover average was more than 2 billion. In May 2017, it was still not counted as Google Play.

If it is in daily life, this impression will become more intuitive. Even at the dinner tables of many classmates, most people will take out their mobile phones to make a few moves.

Of course, to be fair, "Glory of Kings" is a good game, but not a great game. There is nothing to argue about this, probably even the designers themselves think so.

Is "Honor of Kings" so popular because of how good it is?

Strictly speaking, "Honor of Kings" does have many advantages in game production, but these are just the reasons why "Honor of Kings" is stronger than all other competitors, not the reason why it can become a phenomenal product.

The fundamental reason why "Honor of Kings" is so popular is that moba games are one of the most pinnacle categories in the history of game since the establishment of electronic games by humans. They have achieved an extremely clever and harmonious balance in terms of gameplay, competitiveness, teamwork, concentration, and sense of accomplishment.

Will there be a brand new type of game that surpasses Moba games in the future? Maybe there will be, but from the current situation, even if the factors of VR games are taken into account, Moba games are still one of the most popular game types in the world.

Rather than saying the success of "Honor of Kings", it is better to say that this is the success of the moba game.

Of course, the game industry is a result-oriented theory. Designers do not have so many emotional considerations when making games. All designs have very clear design intentions.

Many people may have opinions or suggestions on "Honor of Kings". Perhaps these opinions and suggestions are good, but if the game's revenue drops by three percentage points after the changes, will you still think this opinion be good?

The reason why "Honor of Kings" is popular is that it satisfy players who like "Honor of Kings" rather than players who like "League of Legends".

Many players look at "Honor of Kings" based on the aesthetics of other games, and naturally they think it is very lol, but this consideration is wrong from the beginning.

Because they are not the same group of players as the target players of "Honor of Kings", and there is not even much possibility of conversion.

The reason why "Honor of Kings" can achieve a counterattack on the mobile phone is, in addition to the simplification and easier to use as mentioned earlier, there is another very important feature, which is the strong social attributes.

You don’t play, but your girlfriend plays, so will you play?

You don’t play, but all the classmates around you play, so will you play?

In "Honor of Kings", many subtle systems are strengthening this strong social attribute.

For example, the ranking list, the title of "The Third Li Bai of the Imperial Capital", the master-apprentice system, nearby players, etc.

Even many of the updates of your classmates and friends playing "Honor of Kings" will be flooded in your circle of friends and become part of social interaction.

When the number of players reaches a critical point, it will roll down like a snowball that cannot stop until it reaches its maximum.

After reaching this highest point, it may slowly begin to slide, which is already a number that no game designer can look up to.

...

In the parallel world, Chen Mo moved out "Glory of Kings" and created a brand new answering system for it, which instead played some unexpected roles in some aspects...

Many primary school teachers were surprised to find that primary school students actually began to like to recite Li Bai's poems?!

Like "kill one person in ten steps, and do not stay in a thousand miles", "I hope I will never wake up again after being drunk", "I will drink today and get drunk today"...

After asking, I found out that primary school students like to recite Li Bai’s poems is a completely love for the house. Because I think Li Bai in "Glory of Kings" is particularly handsome, I became the idol of primary school students...

A junior high school student said that everyone in their class likes Li Bai, and many people are comparing who can recite more Li Bai's poems, and no longer limited to the few pronunciations in the game.

Another middle school teacher was surprised to find that his student actually knew the word "kui". After asking, he found out that it was because there is...

Many jealous mobile game designers were thinking about reporting that "Glory of Kings" to tamper with history and teach children badly, but now they are so good that they can't find an excuse...

Before buying a hero, you have to recite the characters' life and answer questions. This is simply popularizing historical knowledge!
