SEC Chapter 78: This game is beckoning to me!
Chapter 78: This game is beckoning to me!
After lunch, some players who didn't have to go to work were already sitting in front of their computers!
Anxiously refreshing the steam engine platform!
Almost all of Insomnia Studio's games are released to the public at exactly midnight.
As someone who's been through it all, I already predicted it!
Now that the release date has finally arrived, it's not just players and streamers who are eyeing Left 4 Dead; major game companies are also keeping an eye on it!
As a seasoned game testing streamer, Chen Dazhuang, a member of the Dousha live streaming platform, would naturally not pass up such a good opportunity!
Although the gameplay of each game from Insomnia Studio is almost entirely different.
However, these games did bring them real traffic.
Moreover, as players gradually became accustomed to Insomnia Studio's games, their tastes became more discerning.
If you were to ask Dazhuang to go back and play those mediocre games now, it would be utterly tasteless.
"Guys, is it appropriate for you to be watching my livestream in the middle of the day while you're just relaxing?"
"Get back to your workstations and work like slaves, or the boss will catch you."
Inside the live stream, Chen Dazhuang looked at the popularity rating of his live stream, which was much lower than before.
But then I realized it makes sense since today is a weekday.
but--
Why are there still over a thousand viewers in the live stream at this time?
Normally, shouldn't someone with nothing to do have already started buying and downloading Left 4 Dead to test it out?
"Aren't you all so eager to fight insomnia? Why don't you go and experience Left 4 Dead?"
Chen Dazhuang was a little suspicious. It was right around the time of the release of "Left 4 Dead", so why were there still more than a thousand viewers in his live stream?
however--
The next second, the chat room's comment section started flashing incessantly—
Can slacking off really be called slacking off?
Not watching live streams at work is like eating without salt.
[Ignore us, keep broadcasting!]
[Dazhuang, who are you planning to play games with today?]
【Peach! Peach's live streams are so entertaining, who else should we hire if not Peach?】
[Everyone has self-awareness. Peach's voice is so sweet, I think she should try her luck in the music section.]
Chen Dazhuang is adjusting the computer equipment.
In front of the camera, he couldn't help but stare at the camera with pity, then turned his head away.
Isn't doing your own live stream just another form of servitude?
Sigh, these days, human traffickers are called HR, long-term laborers are called contract workers, and they don't even need their employers to provide them with food and drink.
When I'm tired, I buy myself a cup of coffee; when I'm hungry, I order a meal.
But! They can play games in the middle of the day, while they can only watch their own live stream from outside the chat room.
ε=(´ο｀*))) Sigh~
【凸(艹皿艹), Dog Dazhuang, what are you looking at?】
Stop staring at me, okay? I can feel that weird look in your eyes! I'm not from Chunxi Road, for crying out loud!
[You bastard! Walking on the street! You bastard, hurry up and stream your game, okay? Don't force me to kneel down and beg you!]
His benevolent gaze made viewers uneasy, and the chat exploded instantly.
It's all because of insomnia that they had to release it at noon on a weekday!
Why is it that some people get to play it right away while I can only watch enviously?
As soon as midnight struck, Chen Dazhuang began frantically refreshing the purchase page with lightning speed!
Tap tap! Tap! Tap tap!
What the hell is going on? I've been clicking the page like crazy, but it's stuck on the loading screen.
Refresh, quickly refresh it once, but it still didn't load on the second try!
The third and fourth takes made Chen Dazhuang himself start to get nervous.
Dazhuang felt his hand holding the mouse begin to tremble slightly!
What's going on? Isn't today a workday? What's wrong with the server?
The servers for the Steam Engine platform have never been this crowded before!
Whether it was because Chen Dazhuang's complaints were successful or not, after the fifth refresh, the purchase page for Left 4 Dead finally appeared!
Steam Engine Platform is the sole authorized distributor of PC game platforms!
This game is naturally being promoted non-stop!
During this development period, Left 4 Dead received maximum exposure on their platform!
Similarly, even before the game was released, it was already being promoted on many social media platforms such as X and YouTube!
Therefore, as long as the steam engine is turned on...
Left 1 Dead is right in front of you; the first thing you see is the largest horizontal promotional image.
Game Title: Left 4 Dead
Developer: Insomnia Games Studio
Designer: Shen Huaizhou
[Publisher: Steam Engine Game Platform!]
[Tags: Single player, Multiplayer, Horror, Survival...]
Chen Dazhuang was too lazy to look at the detailed game introductions; after all, whether a game is fun or not, you have to enter the game world to find out.
Without a word, Chen Dazhuang clicked on the purchase page.
"Eighty-eight? That price isn't too expensive."
"There's a discount for the first release, not bad at all."
When he saw the unit price and the discounted price while making the purchase, Chen Dazhuang exclaimed incredulously.
Judging from the two previous promotional videos, this is definitely a great and high-quality game!
You know, the models on the neighboring neon island are from games from the last century.
They sell for three or four hundred yuan at a time, and the same goes for games from well-known international companies.
Their gameplay involves a base game price that might be under one hundred.
However, if you add up all the DLCs together, it won't just cost 500 yuan.
The popular RTS game Age of Empires II has released its DLC.
It added three completely unknown American civilizations, and the price of that addition was comparable to the initial price of this Left 4 Dead game.
Upon seeing this, Chen Dazhuang was momentarily at a loss for words.
Click to buy, download, and install—all in one go.
Since it's a multiplayer cooperative game, it's better to enjoy it together than to play it alone.
Chen Dazhuang made a phone call and summoned his old partners Taozi and Brother A, and then randomly selected a lucky viewer in the live stream.
Nobody has ever played this game, and nobody knows how to play it!
This time, without any experienced players, Chen Dazhuang volunteered to take on the responsibility of leading the team!
With a viewer added in, Peach and Brother A are definitely responsible for creating entertaining content!
"Four-person team, assembled!"
He laughed into the microphone, "The Road to Survival, let's begin!"
Da da da da—
The sound of helicopter wings spinning filled the air as the survival team appeared on a rooftop.
Chen Dazhuang felt incredibly happy!
As for the viewers, they need no further explanation. During this time, they have developed a good understanding with Peach and Brother A in the Nonsense Kitchen!
A mere zombie! What's there to be afraid of?
