In this April, if there is any game that sells the most, it must be Capcom's "Resident Evil 4 Remake". In the more than half a month since its release, the game has sold more than 4 million copies worldwide, and on the PC side of games, "Resident Evil 4 Remake" once dominated the weekly sales chart on Steam.
But we know that because the theme is too bloody and violent, the "Resident Evil" game series is somewhat sensitive in China, and players can buy digital versions of the game directly on major platforms. But for console players who need to collect, it is not so easy to get a physical disc of this game. After all, this game does not have a formal domestic release, at least, there is no physical disk of Biochemical 4 on a certain treasure.
Of course, there will be a market if there is demand, if you really want to buy game discs, players can buy them on some other platforms, such as PDD, we search for "Li Sanguang", "Hui Village" and other related words on it, and generally can also be found. It is precisely because the sales platform of physical CDs, the intermediate method, is not particularly "conventional", so this gives some people with bad intentions the opportunity to "have bad intentions". So recently, a "white brother" is famous in the game circle, and everyone can search for related events on NGA or Tieba . Basically, after a player spent 779 yuan on PDD to buy two physical discs, he directly approached the seller to negotiate a "refund". The reason is really ironic.
Generally, sellers are reluctant to refund easily, but after this genius buyer moved out of the "relevant department" to threaten, this is a bit oppressive for sellers who sell "contraband" themselves.
The genius said that he wanted to buy a farming game, not a contraband item that received the goods, although we don't know why words like "Li Sanguang 4" can be associated with farming, but the buyer affirms that what he wants to buy is a farming game, and everyone can't refute it. The end result is that the buyer successfully applies for a refund, and the disc is not returned, which is equivalent to the genius player directly "" a game.
The only thing he can do is to resort to the Internet, the reaction of netizens is unexpectedly greater than the party, the real identity of the buyer was quickly "opened by human flesh", and then the next must be a series of "explosive means" such as adding WeChat, making phone calls, etc., the institution is said to be a university in Shanghai, and it also leads to a regional black rhythm.
Subsequently, the player has called the police, claiming that the store leaked his personal information. The incident not only caused an uproar on platforms such as Tieba , but also caused a sensation on Weibo.
Whatever the outcome, the result is bound to be extremely bad. In the future, other console players who want to collect physical discs will be difficult to start directly, and if you think about it from the perspective of the store, they will definitely not be willing to take such risks and sell the discs to people other than regular customers, in case the same drama happens to themselves, losing money is a trivial matter, and it will be difficult to really enter the Yamen to drink tea. Therefore, after this incident, the overseas game purchasing industry may "disappear" for a long time.
It's hard to find the game on PDD now
What is worrying is that in the second half of the year, game manufacturers will make frequent efforts, such as "Diablo 4" and "Final Fantasy 16" in June, which will be missed by players, from the perspective of art style, these two games are not particularly in line with the "main values", at that time, these players who want to collect cartridges, what way should they start? What are your views on this incident, you may wish to discuss it.
