Whose pocket did the money you paid for the game end up in?

"We are like Apple in 1984, ‘when Apple had the revolutionary power to break IBM’s monopoly on the computing technology market.’ But now, ‘Apple is the behemoth it once accused of trying to control markets, stifle competition and stifle innovation.’"


This is a quote from a lawsuit filed by Epic Games against Apple. On August 14, Epic enabled a new payment system in the mobile game version of Fortnite to bypass Apple’s payment system, while also bypassing Apple’s 30% cut. Players can enjoy discounts if they use the new payment system to purchase items in the game.


The new payment system undoubtedly violated Apple’s App Store policies, and Apple responded quickly and aggressively by removing Fortnite entirely from the App Store. Epic was clearly well-prepared. Shortly after being taken down, Epic released a small video of "Fortnite", in which it mocked Apple from a former dragon slayer to a dragon, borrowing a meme from Apple’s famous 1984 MAC ad.


The classic 1984 Apple ad was about revolution and breaking IBM’s monopoly. But the video was more than a satire. Minutes after the video was released, Epic announced that it had filed a lawsuit against Apple.


The rivalry between the two sides is still escalating. Apple has taken down Epic’s developer account and iOS and MAC power builder. Epic claims this will prevent them from developing software for Apple’s platform, including Unreal Engine support for third-party developers on the iOS.

Benefit game of platform commission

More than a year ago, Tim Sweeney, a spokesperson for Epic’s platforms, published a tweet to the effect that Epic would consider lifting the exclusivity and putting its games on Steam if the gaming platform Steam could reduce the commission to 12%. Steam, the gaming platform with the largest number of users and games in the world, has its own high-quality services and a platform commission of up to 30%.


However, according to an annual survey called "All Things Valve Should Know 3.0": Since 2018, game developers, especially in the West, have become increasingly negative about Valve and Steam, and have begun to lose confidence in Steam. They do not believe that it is reasonable to pay 30% of the platform’s commission to the store.


Epic became the initiator of this battle for platform royalties. Previously, with the popularity of its games such as Fortnite, Epic established its own game platform, Epic Games Store, packaged all its games, and used ultra-low royalties as a means to attract game developers. From previous news, Epic did not intend to treat Steam as a competitor, but more to convey that it wanted to change the 30% cut of computer games (PC) platforms. From the original game developer Deep Silver’s announcement that "Metro 2033" would be exclusive to Epic for a limited time for one year, to the later announcement of a limited time exclusive to the Epic platform by popular game developers, and then to Ubisoft’s removal of "The Division Blockade 2" directly from Steam, game makers and platforms are using actions to demonstrate their views on the cut.


In 2019, at the E3 Electronic Entertainment Show in Los Angeles, visitors experienced the game Fortnite.


Is 30% reasonable?



The 30% platform commission is a traditional system, originally formulated by first-party console manufacturers such as Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft. The financial resources of Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft to operate platforms are unmatched by PC platform operations. They have also shown players that operating a PC-side platform, even a 12% commission, is also very profitable. Since the operation of the host platform and the operation of the PC platform are completely different from the difficulty level, it is indeed unreasonable for Steam to operate according to the platform commission of the host manufacturer.


Some netizens broke the relevant commission data of Tencent’s platform: if you just log in to Tencent’s platform, there will be a 30% commission; if you want to promote and use the server, the commission will increase to 50%~ 60%; if it is a mobile game, the commission will be 70%. In addition, the application treasure is 70%; the WeChat mini-game props internal purchase is 40%; the part of the single-day advertising revenue within 100,000 yuan, the developer can get 50% of it; the part of the single-day advertising revenue exceeding 100,000 yuan, the developer can get 30% of it. From this point of view, is the 30% commission not high?


In fact, this is not the case. In China, Tencent owns the vast majority of traffic, and even with a 70% cut, game developers or publishers earn more than many other platforms that take a 10% cut. The main reason why it is unreasonable to say that Steam’s 30% cut is that even in an ideal situation, the income of most profitable game companies is equivalent to the income of the platform, and even the income of the platform is higher than that of the game company. And online game platforms such as Steam,Neither do they have to bear the high costs associated with physical stores and logistics, nor do they have the obligation to help game companies promote their games, which has caused many game makers to be dissatisfied with the 30% cut in recent years.


For an indie game studio, such a high cut would pose a dilemma for the entire team.If the game is handed over to a large company for distribution, and the large company cooperates with Steam, it is equivalent to being drawn twice. And if the independent game team wants to log in to Steam by itself, it will encounter more resistance. On the one hand, Steam will not provide these studios with upfront funding, and it is difficult for an independent development team to complete the game independently without the help of the operating company. On the other hand, the promotion and marketing of the game is very important, and most independent studios do not have the ability to do the follow-up work themselves. In addition, for low-cost indie games, publishing on a high-traffic platform like Steam represents more opportunities, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages than the high commission.


The fantasy video game website (IGN) has sorted out the sales data of major online sales platforms from dozens of information sources. Surprisingly, the data provided by the vast majority of sources is exactly the same, that is, 30% of the platform. Not only Steam and Apple, but also online sales platforms such as Microsoft, Sony, Google, Nintendo, and offline sales platforms such as Amazon and Walmart draw 30%.It can be seen that a 30% cut is a common practice in the industry and a major environment in the game business community.


Who will smoke and how?

In the eyes of most game developers, Epic played the role of a revolutionary pioneer, a "leading brother" who explicitly proposed that the 30% cut was unreasonable. However, in the eyes of players, this was not the case. Negative comments on Epic were widely circulated among players. In the eyes of many players, Epic was a speculator, doing things to occupy the market under the name of lowering the platform’s cut.


This phenomenon is very easy to understand, because the level of the platform does not affect the price of the game too much, players can not feel the intuitive benefits, and Epic as a latecomer, the player group is far less than the predecessor Steam, in the platform function and user experience are not as good as Steam, most Steam users are not surprising to Epic.


But there are still reasons to believe that Epic is determined to change the platform’s commission. A 12% commission will undoubtedly attract more and more games to the Epic platform, and Epic expands its player base through a large number of free games and benefits. The substantial benefits that low commissions bring to game developers will gradually emerge, and more outstanding studios in trouble can show their talents on the Epic platform.


In the new game market system, a model full of reform and innovation may be vacated, and Epic has become the person who raises the revolutionary banner, but whether it can become the ultimate winner remains to be seen.

Meituan’s revenue in the first half of the year was nearly 126.60 billion yuan, and the growth rate in the second quarter was better than Quarter 1.

On August 24, Meituan (stock code: 3690.HK) released the second quarter and half-year results of 2023. The company’s revenue in the first half of the year was 126.582 billion yuan, an increase of 30.2% year-on-year; the adjusted profit was 13.151 billion yuan, and the adjusted net loss was 1.528 billion yuan in the same period last year. Meituan benefited from the recovery of consumption in the first half of the year, and the growth of various businesses was stable.

Among them, the core local business in the second quarter increased by 39.2% year-on-year, also exceeding Quarter 1. However, restricted by cold chain and logistics expenses, Meituan’s new business revenue in the second quarter increased by 18.4% year-on-year, lower than the growth rate of the business in the first quarter.

"Thanks to the arrival of the traditional peak consumption season, the company’s various businesses achieved healthy growth in this quarter," said Wang Xing, CEO of Meituan. "With the local lifestyle market showing a good trend of steady recovery, we will continue to focus on the’retail + technology ‘strategy to meet the increasingly diverse consumer needs of users, and use technology to promote the efficiency of local commodity retail and service retail."

The recovery of core local businesses accelerated in the second quarter, growing faster than in the first quarter

In 2022, Meituan adjusted and updated the statistical caliber, and adjusted the original catering takeaway, to stores, hotels and tourism, new business and other sectors to core local business and new business.

After the adjustment, the core local business segments mainly include the original catering takeaway and delivery, hotel and tourism segments, as well as Meituan flash sale, homestay and transportation ticketing.

Meituan continued to focus on meeting local consumer demand. Driven by this, Meituan’s core local business achieved steady growth in the first half of the year, with revenue of 94.085 billion yuan, an increase of 32.6% year-on-year.

Among them, Meituan’s core local business revenue reached 51.20 billion yuan in the second quarter, an increase of 39.2% year-on-year. Operating profit increased by 34.8% year-on-year to 11.10 billion yuan, and operating profit margin was 21.8%.

Meituan Quarter 1’s core local business revenue reached 42.90 billion yuan, an increase of 25.5% year-on-year. Operating profit was 9.40 billion yuan, an increase of 100.7% year-on-year; while operating profit margin increased to 22.0% from 13.8% in the same period in 2022. Second quarter revenue growth was significantly faster than Quarter 1.

Meituan’s instant retail scene and richness continue to expand. In the second quarter, the number of instant delivery orders increased by 31.6% year-on-year to 5.40 billion orders. By strengthening supply and optimizing subsidy strategies, the stickiness between users and platforms has further increased. In this context, Meituan’s monthly takeaway orders reached a record high in August.

Stimulated by numerous holiday consumption and marketing activities in the second quarter, the online penetration rate of electronic products and home appliances in second- and third-tier cities accelerated significantly, and categories such as daily necessities, beauty and personal care, and maternal and infant products all showed strong quarterly growth.

Meituan’s "Little Yellow Light Health Guardian Alliance" plans to launch digital pharmacies that can see a doctor 24 hours a day to buy medicine in 1,000 counties this year, and is expected to meet the needs of county residents 100 million times this year.

The peak order volume of Meituan flash sale exceeded 11 million orders again in the second quarter, and the demand side in turn promoted the richness of the supply side on the platform. The number of active merchants in Meituan flash sale increased by 30% year-on-year.

Meituan helps serve the digital transformation of the retail industry. The number of new merchants entering Meituan takeaway in the quarter more than doubled year-on-year, of which the growth rate of brand merchants was particularly strong; the transaction volume of the wine and hotel business increased by more than 120% compared with the same period last year, and the number of annual active merchants and annual transaction users also reached a new high.

Meituan’s hotel and tourism business saw strong growth in the second quarter as the domestic tourism industry continued to pick up. "Hotel + X" package products were enriched for leisure travel and vacation scenarios. Deepen cooperation with more hotel brands to improve pricing power. Increase the supply of overseas hotels and expand the outbound travel customer base. In terms of homestays, enhance the experience of consumers and landlords, and better match demand and supply.

New Business Second Quarter Revenue Growth Slower Than Quarter 1

The new businesses mainly include Meituan Preferred, Meituan market, catering supply chain (fast donkey), online car-hailing, shared bicycles, shared motorcycles, power banks, restaurant management systems and other new businesses.

Meituan’s new business revenue in the first half of the year was 32.497 billion yuan, an increase of 23.8% year-on-year. The operating loss was 10.222 billion yuan, and the operating loss in the same period last year was 15.243 billion yuan.

Among them, the second quarter revenue of new business 16.80 billion yuan, an increase of 18.4%. Operating loss narrowed 23.5% year-on-year to 5.20 billion yuan, and the operating loss rate improved to 31.0%.

New business Quarter 1 revenue rose 30.1% year-on-year to 15.70 billion yuan. Operating loss narrowed 40.5% year-on-year to 5 billion yuan, while operating loss ratio continued to improve to 32.0%. From this point of view, the second quarter recovery of new business is not as good as Quarter 1.

In the second quarter, Meituan Preferred transaction volume and revenue continued to grow year-on-year, but the growth rate declined due to the lower-than-expected growth rate of the overall market. Operational efficiency improved significantly compared to the same period last year. Meituan Preferred revenue, recognized on a net basis, declined quarter-on-quarter, mainly due to higher subsidies, which led to lower average price of pieces.

Meituan’s quarterly operating loss widened quarter-on-quarter, mainly due to business expansion, increased subsidies to drive growth, spending on cold chain and logistics to cope with the upcoming hot weather, and seasonal product portfolio changes.

Meituan said that although it faces difficulties in optimizing its business model in the short term, it believes that the online process of groceries will continue, and remains confident in the long-term potential of Meituan Preferred. As of the end of June, Meituan Preferred has reached 470 million cumulative trading users.

Despite a high base in the same period last year, Meituan market recorded a solid year-on-year growth in the second quarter and achieved a higher market share. The proportion of transactions of standard products and private brands continued to increase, effectively increasing the frequency of users.

In June, Wang Huiwen resigned as a non-executive director of Meituan due to personal health reasons. Subsequently, Meituan announced the completion of the acquisition of 100% of the shares of domestic and foreign entities outside the light year, and the purchase price was about 2.065 billion.

In July, Meituan drone fourth-generation new models were released. Meituan drone has been operating in multiple cities such as Shenzhen and Shanghai, and has delivered nearly 170,000 orders in two years. The financial report shows that Meituan’s R & D expenditure in the second quarter increased to 5.40 billion yuan year-on-year.

Meituan’s sales and marketing expenses increased from 9 billion yuan in the second quarter of 2022 to 14.60 billion yuan in the same period in 2023. This was mainly due to the recovery in consumption and changes in the business environment, resulting in higher transaction user incentive, promotion and advertising expenses, and higher employee benefits expenses.

The company’s general and administrative expenses decreased from $2.50 billion in the second quarter of 2022 to $2.10 billion in the same period in 2023, mainly due to lower employee benefit expenses and improved operating leverage.

Meituan CFO Chen Shaohui said that in the first half of this year, the local life sector benefited from the vigorous growth momentum of commodity retail and service retail, meeting more new demand and creating more new supply. In the future, Meituan will further promote the digital upgrade of the commodity retail and service retail industry.

After Zhiji, Xiaomi mismarked the glory parameters.

Xiaomi’s apology letter is not cool enough, and Huawei is coming to join in the fun.

The day before, Lei Jun was still congratulating the intellectual S7 on its big sale. The next day, Yu Chengdong couldn’t navigate Xiaomi SU7.

The more high-end commercial warfare, the more simple struggle methods should be used. So who is better than Xiaomi SU7 in Zhijie S7?

Judging from the price that everyone is most concerned about, the second listing of Zhijie S7 is indeed a lot more cost-effective than four months ago. The price has dropped by 20,000 yuan, and the endurance of the entry model has increased to 705 kilometers. It is also equipped with Huawei Vision Intelligent Driving ADS Basic Edition for the first time. However, compared with Xiaomi SU7, the price of Zhijie S7 is still high.

In terms of performance, the acceleration performance of Xiaomi SU7 is also due to the top version of Zhijie S7, which has a battery life of 855 kilometers except Max+, and the battery life of other versions is lower than that of Xiaomi SU7 at the same level.

Of course, the intelligent S7 mainly wins in the intelligent level. Huawei ADS advanced intelligent driving system has the functions of parking on behalf of the driver, parking assistance in mechanical parking spaces and intelligent driving assistance in urban areas, while Xiaomi SU7′ s intelligent driving mainly relies on suppliers such as Hesai Technology and NVIDIA, which is still slightly inferior to Huawei.

The most important thing is that Zhijie S7 has made a comeback and made great efforts in "instant delivery". After solving the capacity crisis, it may be able to compete with Xiaomi SU7.

As Lei Jun himself said, the success of Xiaomi SU7 mainly lies in the success of Xiaomi mode and Xiaomi methodology. At the marketing level, Xiaomi SU7 is indeed out of the circle. Even Huawei, which has always been cold, can’t help but catch the heat of Xiaomi. But can Xiaomi SU7 really catch this spilt traffic? It is still an unknown number.

Running back to China (2011)

This series itself is not bad. I just saw the fifth episode. But Lin Yijie let me down. First, he scolded Jodi, a Canadian runner, and then fired Jodi. Later, he dismissed the young players’ inexperience and said sarcastically. To know that he is the captain, he has a K responsibility for all the players, including choosing players when organizing activities. It can be said that Jodi’s failure to keep up with the speed is also his careless choice. unable to tell …
