Well-informed friends should have seen the delisting announcement of WeGame yesterday:
Pocket WeGame announced that it will stop the registration of new users from July 5, and officially shut down the server on September 8, officially stopping operations.
Seeing this news, The first reaction of The Super is: this "League of Legends" launcher, the original mobile phone version ah ~ how usually have not heard of it, it is already going to be out of operation.
What the hell is this pocket WeGame, and what does it have to do with the League of Legends launcher on your computer?
To satisfy my curiosity, Shichao opened the App Store and searched for an app with a rating of only 2.3.
And downloaded the app, just in time for a wave of emergency evaluation before he stopped operating.
The first thing I felt when I entered The WeGame was: He wanted everything.
This app from online games, stand-alone, mobile games, PC games... As long as it is a game, Pocket WeGame has made a separate game community.
Players can inquire about game consultation, watch live broadcasts, and check strategies inside.
After a careful walk, it is not difficult to find that the positioning of the pocket WeGame is basically similar to that of the small black box, the difference is:
The small black box is connected to Steam, and players can find some relatively useful information on the small black box, such as the lowest price of the game and the game value of the inventory.
The handheld WeGame is very embarrassed in this regard, he is connected to the PC side of WeGame, in the number of games is far less than Steam.
And many players are using WeGame as the launcher of "League of Legends", and his biggest role on the computer is to help players point talents and use them as an auxiliary tool for "League of Legends".
I believe that few players will buy games on WeGame ~ so in terms of positioning, Pocket WeGame is very embarrassing.
At this time, there will be a messenger who asks:
The WeGame on the computer is not alive and well, why is the Pocket WeGame not working?
Put it this way, League of Legends and a lot of Tencent games feed the computer version of WeGame.
WeGame is a good game aid, and colleagues in the editorial department said at the topic selection meeting: Without WeGame, he didn't know how to order heroic talent.
But pocket WeGame has a lot of competitors to grab business with him, take the mobile game "League of Legends", Tencent has a app called Pocket League of Legends.
Whether you want to check the talent of the League of Legends mobile game, or want to check the strategy of the Golden Shovel Battle, this app can do it.
DNF's mobile game also has Tencent's official assistant.
Similar Tencent mobile games have their own official assistants. So this kind of auxiliary tool attribute of WeGame on the desktop version has disappeared on the mobile phone side.
On the phone, he is no longer a useful gaming aid.
And as a game community similar to a small black box, Pocket WeGame has some innate deficiencies.
Fewer gamers will buy on WeGame itself, let alone use the mobile version of WeGame as a gaming community.
The most active place for WeGame players is the black hall of League of Legends.
Therefore, this kind of awkward positioning makes the handheld WeGame have no living space, and it has become a reasonable thing to be forced to stop operating.
In fact, Tencent's WeGame is also with great ambitions, and Tencent was originally operating with the determination to be a Chinese Steam.
The most discussed time in WeGame should have been Monster Hunter. It's time for World to be released on WeGame.
However, this incident, in the end, because of the game version number, got a hasty ending. Although Tencent gave a very sincere solution at that time:
Jean purchased Monster Hunter · Players of "World" can get a full refund, but after that incident, WeGame will still have some excellent domestic indie games on the shelves.
But these games will choose to be listed on Steam and WeGame together, which also makes WeGame lose its particularity.
Eventually, the pc version of WeGame was reduced to a game aid, an online game launcher. The situation of The Pocket WeGame is even more embarrassing, and the significance of his game aids has also been "seized" by Other Tencent apps.
If WeGame had done it and really become China's Steam, there would have been no small black box now. But this should never be achieved.
So let the pocket WeGame quietly leave
