On April 13, Tencent Accelerator released an announcement, the content of which is: according to business adjustments, from May 31, 2022, the "Tencent Online Game Accelerator" will be upgraded to "Tencent Game Manager", and after the product upgrade, it will only support the acceleration of national service games, and open the refund path.
As soon as this news came out, the major game media went crazy, and players also participated in the discussion, and even sent Tencent Accelerator to the hot search for a while. Players who often play Steam worry about whether the next step is to start these platforms and external service games.
The motivation and layout of the "upgrade"
Let's take a look at the reasons for the upgrade of Tencent Accelerator, "Tencent itself said that it only supports the national service game after the upgrade", in my opinion, this is not an empty phrase, why? Then I have to say that the game version number is open.
Two days before Tencent released the upgrade announcement, a large number of game versions were opened in China, and game companies such as Xishanju and Lilith were on the list, but Tencent and NetEase were absent, but in my opinion, this absence is temporary.
King of Glory and Peace Elite is Tencent's home game, although the domestic game demand for accelerators is not strong, but there are still players with accelerator needs, such as poor network signal, network fluctuations, etc., follow-up and other releases of more and more games, then Tencent's game ecology will be better and better.
Tencent first laid out the domestic game acceleration: or that problem, the game version number is more and more, then the players of all the games add up to a very scary data, in line with the advantage of preconceptions, then Tencent Accelerator will definitely harvest a large number of domestic users.
The summary said: The layout of domestic games and the improvement of its own ecology should be the main reason for Tencent's withdrawal from the foreign service market
Market environment analysis
Tencent Accelerator has "upgraded", so will it have an impact on the current market? I think there is no impact at all, in fact, as early as the second half of 2021, Tencent Accelerator has already belonged to the semi-stocked state, at that time has released a large number of users out, to put it bluntly, Tencent has long given up this business, if you really want to do this business, with Tencent's resources and capabilities, now it is definitely half of the country and UU.
The reason for abandoning the accelerator sector, I personally feel that it is the adjustment of their internal business, if they want to grab users with UU, it will inevitably cost a lot of resources, and there are various external reasons, which are full of uncertainty.
Let's talk about the UU accelerator, and Tencent accelerator, UU back to NetEase this big factory, Tencent considers things UU will also consider, tencent exit this market, UU accelerator will certainly have further actions, and line and see, wait and see.
The action of the UU accelerator in the future will certainly be further conservative, the current UU plate is large enough, it is certainly impossible to scatter in an instant, and it should reduce a lot of things later, and even reduce the acceleration effect on some games.
The user's choice
For players on Platforms such as Steam and Epic, the acceleration effect of the accelerator is the most important thing, whether the Tencent Accelerator or the UU Accelerator, as long as the acceleration effect is not good, the player will not buy it.
I believe that with the development of the situation, more easy-to-use accelerators will appear in front of everyone's eyes, and everyone is just a change of choice.
