During a recent visit to markets such as South Korea, Tim Sweeney, CEO of EPIC Games, said that he hopes that players can purchase game content corresponding to different platforms through a single channel, so that the player’s playing experience is not restricted by the platform, and can also be managed through a single platform. Game content that you own.
Limited by content copyrights and restrictions on commercial interests, currently players can only buy games through different channels, such as PC games on the EPIC Games Store or Steam service, PlayStation 5 games on PlayStation service, and Xbox service. Purchase Xbox Series X games, but these games cannot be managed through a single channel or purchase game content corresponding to different platforms.
According to Tim Sweeney, we are currently planning to cooperate with game developers and content providers so that players can purchase all games through a single channel, and can control which games they own and which platforms they can use.
Tim Sweeney believes that the industry has not proposed similar ideas at present because the current sales of games through different channels still have different profit margins behind them. However, most games already support the recording of game progress and game achievements through the Internet, which is obviously more important. It is easy to synchronize information so that players can purchase all game content in the same channel.
Such an approach will ultimately only lie in the distribution of sales revenue between game developers and content providers. It is believed that it is not difficult for players to purchase and manage all games through a single channel.
It is still impossible to confirm whether the plan proposed by Tim Sweeney can be successful, but recently EPIC Games has leveraged on Apple and Google due to the in-game transaction method of “Fortnite” (Fortnite), and has made more people pay more attention to the App Store, In-app transactions in the Google Play Store have a liquidity problem, so Apple has finallyAmerica, Korea andJapanWaiting for market adjustment policies to allow developers to decide on their own in-app transaction methods, perhaps Tim Sweeney can use his influence in the game industry to promote reforms again.
