Lucas's post on his official account instantly set the gaming world on fire again.
Countless players and designers were shocked.
Even though it was just Lucas's official post and not an official announcent from Nebula Gas, everyone knew that Lucas posting sothing on his account was basically an official confirmation from Nebula Gas.
Unsurprisingly, less than a minute after Lucas's post, Nebula Gas' official account directly reposted it.
This made countless players and designers unable to stay calm.
At the sa ti, the various ssy rumors online disappeared for the most part.
One reason was that Nebula Gas' legal departnt started taking action, collecting evidence, calling the police, and filing lawsuits. Warning letters from lawyers?
They either didn't exist, or if you received one, it was definitely a court summons.
While they couldn't target everyone, making an example of a few troublemakers was enough to have a deterrent effect.
Moreover, compared to small organizations, it was easier to gather evidence against these troublemakers.
Another reason was that there was really nothing else to say. Lucas had directly said this to the entire gaming industry, including players.
Legally, even if Nebula Gas or Lucas went back on their word, it wouldn't be illegal.
But in the gaming world, Nebula Gas' reputation would be imdiately ruined.
If they just wanted to grab market share, Nebula Gas wouldn't need to go to such lengths.
Clearly, Nebula Gas was truly going all out.
No, it shouldn't be said that they were going all out.
Because Nebula Gas was doing just fine. The distribution channel was just a new business for them.
The ones who were really in danger were the traditional distributors without any research and developnt capabilities.
Countless distributors were stunned. Many of them had initially thought Nebula Gas was temporarily using a price war strategy to enter this market.
But who would have thought that Nebula Gas would directly destroy the market!
For countless ordinary ga designers, it was like a holiday.
The ergence of the Nebula Gas platform clearly gave them a new choice and also acted as a price cutter for distribution channels.
As for the major distributors, they could only stare blankly.
Because there was really nothing they could do.
Restrict Nebula Gas?
How?
Could they really run to players' hos, tie up their hands and feet, and prevent them from spending money on the Nebula Gas platform?
Now, they could only pray that the gas launched on the Nebula Gas platform would have poor sales, or even completely fail.
And that this would directly affect the reputation of the Nebula Gas platform.
However, this was completely impossible.
Because the sales rules on the Nebula Gas platform clearly state that:
First, gas launched on the Nebula Gas platform must pass Ga Division's review and obtain qualification.
Second, all gas must follow a refund policy.
A no-questions-asked refund is available within two weeks if the playti is less than two hours. This ensures that players can get a refund even if they play a bad ga.
The day after Lucas's official announcent, Nebula Gas also announced new information.
First, so new works by independent ga designers and studios would be first launched on the Nebula Gas platform.
Lucas had discussed this with Ethan before.
He had been preparing to promote the Nebula Gas platform.
In addition, the most shocking news for major distributors was that several small dostic distributors had directly joined the Nebula Gas camp and reached cooperation agreents with them. They would transfer so of the high-quality gas from their channels to Nebula Gas to serve as inventory.
They also stated that they would form a strategic partnership to jointly share distribution networks.
With this news, the major distributors, who were already stunned, beca even more confused.
Before they could even exert their strength, Nebula Gas had already started digging up their foundation?
Surrounding the cities from the countryside?!
Nebula Gas is taking away the distributors' jobs, why are you running to join Nebula Gas?
There's a traitor among us!
But in reality, the distributors cooperating with Nebula Gas were mainly focused on independent gas and specific ga categories, such as visual novels, simulation gas, and so on.
The market share of these gas wasn't large, but they had a very stable player base.
The major distributors didn't care about them, but for so small distributors, this was still enough to earn a living.
As for why these small distributors were willing to join the Nebula Gas camp?
Because they could earn more by holding onto a big company!
For small distributors, industry secrets?
They couldn't get any at or soup out of that.
In fact, many small distributors had a revenue split of 3:7, or even lower.
Why?
Because they were small distributors. If they didn't offer discounts or specialize in a certain field, which developers would be willing to put their gas on their channels?
Just like the classic strategy of surrounding the cities from the countryside, these small distributors were also worth winning over.
At the sa ti, cooperating with Nebula Gas was a win-win situation for these small distributors.
Nebula Gas needed so decent gas to fill its ga library.
And for these small distributors, Nebula Gas' huge user base ant that even if only one percent of the players bought the gas launched on their platform, they would still make a lot of money.
As for whether they could retain designers on their own platforms in the future?
These small distributors weren't worried about it.
Because Nebula Gas, as an open platform, would definitely face a situation.
That is, it would be impossible to take care of all designers' works in every aspect. This was inevitable.
Especially as more and more gas were released, the number of effective recomndations was limited.
And they, as small distributors, were able to survive well, so they naturally had so experience.
Don't be greedy, don't rush, just take care of your own corner.
As for being truly unable to stop it, then there was nothing they could do. After all, their biggest advantage over the major distributors was low commission and specialization.
But now that Nebula Gas had entered the market with such low commissions, what they could offer was more targeted promotion for designers of niche genres.
So since they couldn't think of a way to resist, they might as well enjoy it. If it really didn't work out, they could sit down and talk to Nebula Gas slowly.
Give a fair price and buy , then we're all one big family.
......
A series of strategic plans had been in preparation since the developnt of "Minecraft" before the new year.
First, a total of 116 gas were launched on the Nebula Gas platform.
16 of which were new gas, and the rest were old gas from distributors who joined the Nebula Gas camp.
As the first batch of gas, these gas were obviously very lucky.
After all, Nebula Gas' platform users were right there. But this was also considered the bonus for the first batch to join Nebula Gas.
Currently, only indie gas are supporting the platform. Second and third-tier ga companies are basically still waiting and seeing. Unlike ordinary indie ga designers, they have so bargaining power with distributors, and now that Nebula Gas is coming on strong, the major distributors will obviously make a lot of concessions.
For these ga companies, of course, they have to compare deals and see what kind of conditions they can get.
With the launch of these gas, many players were also paying close attention.
"The number of gas is alright!"
"But they're all old gas!?"
"There's nothing we can do, after all, the platform just launched. And what you're saying, do other platforms release new gas every day?"
"That's true."
"Besides, old gas or not, the discounts are pretty good!"
"Hey, there are so many ani gas? I've never seen them before!"
"So of these gas actually look pretty good!"
"These gas seem a little different from what I played before. There are also achievent trophies and card collections? Interesting!"
"The ga community is also quite rich. There are plenty of guides and comnts, and so even support Workshop!"
Many Nebula Gas platform players initially checked out the new gas out of curiosity.
But after looking at them one by one, many players found that many of these gas seed quite interesting.
And these gas weren't simply launched on the Nebula Gas platform. They had been adapted to the platform.
For example, the achievent and trophy system. In addition, the relevant ga communities were also very complete.
So even supported Workshop. So designers, after learning that their old gas were going to be launched on the Nebula Gas platform, even went back and updated and polished them.
So even went all out and chose to completely remaster the visuals of the ga in order to better sell it, striving to show better effects.
After all, even if the original old gas were remastered on those small channels, not many people would care except for fans.
But now it was different. This was an opportunity!
And it was a very rare opportunity. Leaving everything else aside, just this wave of "Minecraft" was enough to prove the potential of the Nebula Gas platform.
At this point, it didn't matter if they were old gas. They just tried to do their best.
