2017 is destined to be a year that gamers will never forget. In this year, the "PUBG" developed by Blue Hole has become a popular game all over the world, and it has also injected vitality into the live broadcast industry and the "eat chicken" play type. However, everything has its dark side, after the "eat chicken" gameplay became popular, the problem of plug-ins also broke out randomly, and almost every popular chicken eating game was entangled with plug-ins, making players and developers unhappy.
In the face of the surging plug-in boom, the manufacturers are also eight immortals across the sea, doing their best to seal it, or simply lying flat. So five years after the birth of the chicken eating boom, what changes have been made in the control of plug-ins by game manufacturers at home and abroad?
If you want to talk about the plug-in problem of the chicken eating game, you can't get around PUBG. As we all know, some time ago, in order to attract players, the blue hole directly changed the game to a free version. Think about it, the account is free to obtain, the natural cost of opening and hanging is reduced a lot, and even many people do not perform at all, anyway, after the suspension of the new number on the line, so "PUBG" in the popularity of the re-increase at the same time, the plug-in multiplied growth, but also hurt the hearts of many green players.
Interestingly, many successful chicken-eating games have become popular in a short period of time, pouring into many players. In the face of a large number of players entering, the plug-in development team naturally smells business opportunities and will speed up the launch of plug-ins, resulting in a more harsh game environment, so many manufacturers have been caught off guard by plug-ins. For example, "Call of Duty: Warzone" and "Apex Heroes" have both had a bad reputation due to too many plug-ins, but compared to the lying attitude of PUBG, the attitude of the latter two is at least quite positive.
For example, after the frequent appearance of "Apex Hero", it constantly updates the anti-plug-in countermeasures and ensures the quality of the update, so that after the plug-in withdraws with the decrease in popularity, it begins to attract players to return through the quality of the game. The long-term and stable operation has also received a lot of praise.
The countermeasures of "Warzone" are relatively simple and crude. It may be that Activision itself is not very short of player traffic, so many large anti-plug-in updates will lead to players mistakenly blocking the problem, and even exposed the problem of directly matching the national lock. Although the problem itself is not solved well, after all, people's services are mainly European and American players, and most of the Asian service players can only eat dumb losses.
However, when it comes to the home of domestic players, things have turned around. Many people may have an illusion of "Chinese people love to open and hang", in fact, domestic players do not mention it for the time being, just say that the sensitivity and treatment of domestic game manufacturers to plug in are really worthy of praise. The domestic martial arts style action game "Forever Doom" has done a very good job in this regard.
The same is suddenly popular, suddenly became a top-notch game, and in a short period of six million sales, "Forever Doom" was not caught off guard by the plug-in. Although players have also reported a lot of plug-in problems, the production team has always been very active. Judging from the official reports, the team has even prepared an anti-plug-in team in the testing stage, looking for plug-ins directly in the game.
A few months after its release, the anti-plug-in results of "Forever Doom" have been quite outstanding. Not only has the police in many places joined hands to crack a series of plug-in cases, but also destroyed more than 20 plug-ins, so that the environment of the game has been changed. It also attracts new players with high-quality game content updates. And because it is the operation and content done by the Chinese people themselves, naturally there will be no "lock area" and "Chinese people love to open the plug-in" such a rotten operation and throwing pot problems.
Of course, "Forever Doom" as a descendant of the chicken-eating game still has a long way to go. Here Xiaobian also hopes that the students of the production team will adhere to the original intention and do not learn from some European and American manufacturers. How do you guys think about the problem of plug-ins?
