UBI:未來將減少AAA大作產出速度,注重F2P - PS

F2P: Free To Play 購入免費（課金在後）的遊戲

先看 Geoff Keighley 的推文：

Video games: evolving and changing.
演進變化中的遊戲（產業）

- Just 26% of EA revenue came from premium game sales. The rest was from live
service, DLC, mobile, microtrans.

EA的營收中　AAA（或AA級）大作的收益僅佔26%
其他來自線上服務，DLC，行動平台，微交易（遊戲內購物）

- Ubisoft is shifting away from 3-4 premium AAA titles a year, plans to
launch “high-end free-to-play” games.

UBI未來會改變現在一年內出3-4款大作的做法
計畫將推出更多 "大作級免費遊玩" 的遊戲

另一條是這個新聞　https://t.co/Yy820LoHAy

Ubisoft says it’s changing strategy to focus on
more ‘high-end free-to-play’ games

（原文內容不少　請看原文）

既有的title像 The Division（全境封鎖）　
也會推出更多 F2P = Free To Play 衍生遊戲或手機遊戲
（如剛剛發表的 The Division Heartland）

UBI打算將自己手上的ip往更多的受眾去推
這將改變他們的發行策略和營運模式

“And we think it is now the time to come with high quality free-to-play
games across all our biggest franchises across all platforms, but of course
it will take time before proving it in a more assertive way. That’s why we
want to be cautious in year one. If we are successful, that can have a very
meaningful impact on the value creation of Ubisoft.”

另外提及到明年三月底為止之前的本財務年度 上半年他們仍會推出
Far Cry 6 and Rainbow Six Quarantine (by September 30)
加上 Riders Republic, The Division Heartland and Roller Champions.

然後在下半個財務年度應該就不會推出AAA大作了（包括聖誕檔期）

以這兩間公司手上的資源　看到原神等遊戲賺成那樣　
很難抗拒不去轉換成這種商法

這個產業的未來會變成怎樣呢？
