Chapter 575
Cameron felt that he had come early enough. He hadn't seen many pedestrians on the streets of Chicago at this time, but there was already a long queue of dozens of people in front of this small game retail store. .
America is different from China. Except for concerts, sports competitions, celebration days and other activities, it is usually difficult to see, and there will be so many people queuing up.
Looking at the dozens of people queuing up in front of the small game retail store, Cameron saw several game fans like him, and he could recognize them by looking at their outfits.
Cameron can understand that these game fans came so early, but, among them, there are a few guys with big arms and tattoos on their arms. They have a street atmosphere on their bodies. Lun didn't know what they were here to join in the fun.
What Cameron didn't know was that not only in front of this game retail store, but also in front of game stores in big cities such as New York and Los Angeles, there were also many gangsters and scalpers who ran out and stocked up on the "Interstellar" store. Contest" disc.
After tasting the sweetness of "Diablo" last time, these gang members want to repeat the old tricks, desperately selling other things, and have not made much money by reselling game discs. For these gang members, How to choose can be imagined.
Cameron is glad that he didn't have to queue up today, otherwise who knows if he can buy it today.
As soon as he was about to leave, he walked towards a big game chain store, when Cameron heard only a few members of the gang shouting at Thomas, the owner of the game retail store, "Thomas, our boss wants all the StarCraft discs. Already!"
Hearing that these people wanted to buy all the game discs, Cameron felt depressed. Cameron looked angry when he saw some buyers behind the gang members, but the gang members kept Turning his head, he showed the tendons on his arms, and gestured to touch a bulging thing near his waist. Those who were dissatisfied with these gangsters could only leave angrily.
"Three hundred discs, $19,500!"
Thomas, the owner of the game retail store, doesn't want to offend these people, as long as he gives a dollar, whoever sells it, Xue Leshan released a lot of game discs in the first week, which can be shipped to all parts of the world and distributed to each game store. The number of discs is basically hundreds or thousands. Some big game retailers will distribute more discs.
But that was the result of completely putting the game discs on the market. Thomas knew that the game agent who supplied him had pressed at least one-third, and maybe even half of the discs in his hands. Increase the price to sell!
Things that even the winners of the gang can think of, how could the gang of "second-rate dealers" scalpers and the like not think of it.
"Funk, Thomas, why don't you go grab it? Do you want our boss to come and talk to you in person?!"
Several members of the gang, hearing that Thomas dared to ask for 19,000 US dollars for 300 game discs, couldn't help but yell. black.
"This is the price given to me by the agent. I have to pay $60 for the purchase price, and I have to pay the agent, tax, and store fees. If I sell it for $65, I don't make any money at all. Even if your boss comes, I will pay the same price!"
Thomas was not afraid, and followed several gang members to spray, and seemed to know the boss of the other party.
Thomas's purchase price is definitely not $60. The official price of "StarCraft" is $60, but Thomas and the others may only buy $50 or more from the game agent. Probably less than fifty dollars.
Xueleshan offers a lot of benefits to its partners. It ensures that the agents, dealers, game retailers, salesmen and other personnel in the entire game industry chain who cooperate with Xueleshan can earn money. This is also the game channel business, and they all like it. The reason for selling games for Xueleshan is because it can really make money!
But in the face of these gang members, Thomas didn't want to be soft, so he raised the price by five dollars.
Looking at the righteous Thomas, several members of the gang scolded his mother one after another, but they didn't criticize him. It's expensive to buy a game disc for sixty-five dollars, but when they sell it, it's right to sell it at a higher price!
Several members of the gang, got the game disc, and when they passed by Cameron, they smiled and asked Cameron, "Eighty dollars a piece, do you want it?"
Cameron was full of helplessness. Does he look like a fat sheep? He slaughtered him so blatantly. Seeing that Cameron refused, the few people didn't care. After the experience last time, they felt that they would not buy it now. After a few days, when the discs in the world are all gone, I will beg them to sell them!
After watching the scene of the gang robbing the goods, Cameron did not stop, and went to one of the largest game retail stores in Chicago. He had placed an order on the Sierra Online platform before and pre-ordered a set of "collector's edition" "StarCraft" ", Xueleshan Company has distributed the "Collector's Edition StarCraft" to game retail stores, and he only needs to take the voucher to pick it up. This is also a hidden benefit of purchasing the Collector's Edition.
Especially after seeing the scene just now, Cameron felt that the "Collector's Edition" StarCraft for 99 US dollars really didn't seem like a trap.
Camering to the largest local game retail store in Chicago, Cameron once again saw countless people queuing up in a long queue.
This largest game retail store in Chicago also sells records and other products. Cameron only saw the queue scene when the record superstar released a new album. Unexpectedly, now a game can also be sold. Make people line up!
Cameron didn't queue up, and went directly to another window, reported his order number and withdrawal code, signed a pick-up book, and finally got his "Collector's Edition" StarCraft.
Seeing Cameron leaving with StarCraft, many game fans who were still queuing cast envious glances at Cameron, and even a few scalpers went up directly and asked Cameron if he would sell it. When the asking price reached US$120, they left angrily when they saw that Cameron really had no intention of selling it.
Along the way, Cameron was a little terrified, for fear that someone would **** it from him. Cameron felt that the game disc is now the hard currency in Chicago.
After returning home, it was still the same as before. Cameron was going to experience it first, and then go to the forum to mix experience. The old buddies in the game forum have always emphasized that if they have not experienced it, they have no right to speak. They have never complained about games of unknown people. …
Turn on the computer and insert the game disc, and the familiar screen and logo appear in front of the eyes. The publisher is Xueleshan Online Games, and the producer is Blizzard Games. Now Blizzard has not played the banner of "produced by Blizzard, must be a boutique", but I don't know why. See After arriving at the Blizzard LOGO, Cameron instinctively looked forward to the game.
In the previous "StarCraft" expansion pack, Cameron already knew that there are three major races to choose from in the game. The gameplay of this game is to use a race hero to collect resources on the map, produce troops, and destroy the opponent's All buildings are then victorious.
It doesn't sound difficult, but after Cameron made his move, the start was quite simple, adding 50 yuan to four farmers, and then arranging tasks for these farmers.
But while playing, Cameron started to be in a hurry. Even though Blizzard has optimized the game experience, players still need to operate every step by themselves. Cameron has never encountered such a situation, and it is all up to the players to operate. **** game.
In the duel between machine gunners and ground stabbing, the winner was decided in twos and twos. The operation was so good that there was a one-sided massacre, which made Cameron couldn't help shouting excitedly. The hearty feeling was really amazing. Stimulate people's sensory nerves, if the operation is not good, it will be ravaged.
This kind of dish and Niu Bi's repeated side-to-side jumps, even the most stable-minded people, may be a little bit overwhelmed, but it is so addictive. To describe it in one sentence, it is delicious and loves to play.
Cameron has never felt that playing a game can make him so entangled, scolding his mother from time to time, feeling that this game is really torture, but after winning, he fell into excitement again.
After rubbing his sore eyes, Cameron felt that his hands and arms were aching because he was operating the keyboard and mouse too hard. Playing a game hurts his hands, so does Cameron. See you soon.
Rubbing his wrists, he entered the forum. As he expected, on the IGN forum, the comments on "StarCraft" were mixed. Some hated this game, thinking it was too unfriendly to players, and the operation difficulty was too high. They even scolded Blizzard and Xueleshan for being liars, and there was a layman who refunded money directly, scolding Xueleshan for refunding the money.
There was also Niu Bi who shouted "StarCraft" and posted a thousand-word post, thinking that this is the game he imagined, and life and death depend on manipulation!
There are many scolding battles, and there are also many people discussing game strategies, discussing combinations and tactics. Now there are already players who have begun to try the most classic "human sea tactics".
"This is the game with the highest playability I have ever played. It is very difficult to operate, but the tactical playability is top-notch, and it is a completely different game to play online and team up on the Xueleshan online platform. Gaming experience!"
Cameron saw an IGN forum with a well-known game ID, and commented on "StarCraft".
Before Cameron could think about it, someone suddenly moved the post from the Xueleshan community to the forum.
"Xue Leshan online platform is recruiting professional StarCraft players, and released a game operation video of "professional players"!"
Seeing this post, Cameron was curious and followed the link to the Sierra Mountain community. Just like on the IGN forum, there are constant quarrels here, and the quarrels are even more fierce, just like him playing StarCraft. Those who hate this game and those who scold it, can't wait to have a real PK.
After buffering, after opening the video, Cameron saw in the video, in the first second of the game, this professional player manipulated four farmers to mine four mines, he was a little stupid, the first thought in his mind , can still play like this, the second thought, how can this be manipulated by humans?
