Hello everyone, this is the positive shock game, I am the positive shock little brother.
With the end of the year approaching, every three to five there are games out of operation, of course, there are Tencent's games, today there is another Tencent game announced that it is out of service, the sad thing is that this game has not yet been fired on the cold.
Today, Fortnite, the national service represented by Tencent, issued a stop-test announcement, announcing that the game will stop the registration of new users of the game and close the download entrance at 11:00 a.m. on November 1, 2021; and close the game server at 11:00 a.m. on November 15, 2021.
This is really very sudden, after all, this month alone the game has been updated three times, the most recent one is the 26th, when the new props and new landmarks were just updated, and I didn't expect the game to stop after 5 days.
Tencent announced in April 2018 to represent "Fortnite", before the national service also engaged in a return to the national service activities, to encourage foreign players to return to the national service, in addition to the game's V coin, basically other data how skin, props, posture can be moved back.
Therefore, at that time, many honest players of Hong Kong international service returned to the national service, after all, there was little difference in playing, the network could be smoother, and now as soon as the game was shut down, these moved back players were miserable.
Epic's Fortnite has undergone up to 6 years of polishing and optimization, so the game stability is first-class, the configuration requirements are close to the people, and the anti-plug-in ability is not weak.
The game was once popular in foreign countries to crush the chicken eater "PUBG", when the game just opened the chicken eating mode when the player once squeezed the server to burst, 5 months later the number of players reached 30 million, while the number of online people exceeded 1.3 million, to November 2018 gamers registered players exceeded 200 million people, which exceeded the national population of Brazil.
And "Fortnite" in 2019, the revenue level reached 1.8 billion US dollars a year, which is equivalent to about 11.5 billion yuan, ranking first in the global free game ranking for two consecutive years, and even overpowered the money-making big men such as "DNF" and "Glory of the King". Although Fortnite doesn't have as many players as League of Legends, each player spends twice as much on the game as League of Legends.
However, 2020 may be because of the tearing with Apple and Google's two major mobile platforms, or perhaps because of competitors, such as "Call of Duty: Warzone" and other crowded markets, "Fortnite" in 2020 revenue of only $1 billion, directly disappeared from the list.
It is so popular in foreign countries, so why is the "Fortnite" national costume cold? The biggest selling point of the game is the American anime style and the strange style of foreigners, but unfortunately these two selling points have too strong regional cultural characteristics, and most domestic players can't get the fun in it.
Probably because of the rebellious psychology caused by playing the game of inkjet green smoke all year round, the people who choose the shooting game prefer realistic, hardcore hot blood point.
Coupled with the decline of domestic terminal games, and Tencent's own chicken-eating mobile game has firmly sat in the position of the first chicken in China, then "Fortnite", a chicken that can only eat eggs, has little effect. Moreover, Tencent has not been allocating much to Fortnite in terms of resources, and it can be seen that the priority of Tencent's Fortnite is not high, and it is not surprising that it has given up now.
The younger brother is green together: oranges born in Huainan are oranges, and those born in Huaibei are oranges. Different countries and different cultures, some foreigners like chinese people do not necessarily like it, and foreigners who like Chinese people may not be able to understand, of course, except for money.
A question that strikes: Who do you think will be the next game to be announced?
