Genshin Impact's monthly revenue cannot be hidden.
John Doe wanted to keep the company low-key, but after signing contracts with major game platforms at home and abroad, it was destined to appear in the public eye.
The platforms regularly conduct statistics on the revenue of each game and then release this data to let all players and game manufacturers know.
And the revenue of a game on the platform, to a certain extent, also represents the game's popularity and its ability to generate income.
Money is the most intuitive measure.
John Doe didn't bother to hide it.
On the tenth day of Klee's banner, the first month of Genshin Impact's public beta, Snowflake Games received statistics from major cooperative platforms around the world.
Alex is usually busy with the development of subsequent versions of the game and does not pay much attention to the profitability of the game itself.
Although he knows it's very profitable, he doesn't know how much.
On this day, he was called to the company's conference room for a meeting, where he saw a long list of numbers on the computer screen.
He was completely stunned, as was everyone else.
"One, two, three, four, five, six..."
Alex stared at his boss.
"Boss, is this...?"
The corners of John Doe's mouth were slightly raised as he briefly explained: "This is our monthly revenue for this month, totaling 2.5 billion dollar.
The domestic market turnover this month is 900 million, and the foreign market turnover is 1.6 billion.
Of course, this excludes additional digital store sales, which, if counted, would add a little more than 400 million."
Gulp!
Everyone present couldn't help but swallow hard.
The company has grown and undergone staff expansion, and now has a scale of nearly 60 people.
Almost everyone present at the meeting was part of the original ten-member team.
However...
They never imagined that the game they worked on day and night would have such a terrifying ability to generate revenue!
This shows what?
This shows that the players recognize them, the game is liked by many people, and unlike before when they were working for passion, this time they made money!
Even this number... has refreshed the revenue record of major domestic games!
"Earning nearly three billion in a month..."
"Unbelievable!"
Jack opened his mouth and said, "Even Penguin's best-selling game only made 900 million in its first month. At the time, it was celebrated by the media, but now, it doesn't even reach half of Genshin Impact's revenue!"
He remembered Tony Smith's belittling of Snowflake Games when he was with Penguin.
Thinking about it now, what a joke!
The giant that claims to be the strongest game company in China has a monthly revenue that can't compare to a small studio set up by ten people?!
And Genshin Impact is not a one-time sale.
As long as follow-up versions continue to be released and various characters are launched, there may be such high revenue every month!
It's too exaggerated!
John Doe smiled and said, "When the money arrives, the big red envelope I promised can be given to you."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but get excited.
Alex stood up a little embarrassedly, scratched his head, and said, "Boss, from the design to production of this game, it's all based on your ideas. We just do what you want. We feel embarrassed to take the red envelopes."
John Doe smiled and said, "It seems that just being creative, I can make the game by myself. I see you all working overtime day and night, so don't turn me away with this red envelope, I might not want it in the future!"
Having said that, John Doe turned to look in Jack's direction. The game was able to open up so quickly in the overseas market, and he had a lot to do with it.
Working together during this period has eliminated any possibility of him being a corporate spy.
John Doe looked at him: "In addition, this time, Director Jack has made significant contributions to the development of overseas markets. You also have a share of the big red envelope. Keep working hard in the future. Joining our Snowflake Games will definitely be the most correct choice for you."
"Ah? I also get a red envelope?" Jack Lin couldn't help but be taken aback.
Turning to ecstasy in his heart, the red envelope is secondary, but this shows that Snowflake Games has finally accepted him, and he has officially become a member of Snowflake!
"Besides, as I mentioned before, the company's relocation wasn't funded before. Now, we are going to move to a larger, more open, and more comfortable office building. Alex , find a suitable place in the next two days."
"Okay, boss!"
Alex said: "But boss, do we want to announce the company's revenue? If it's released, it will definitely shake the domestic and even foreign game industry!!"
"Let it go."
John Doe said: "Anyway, this news will be sent out by the platforms.
Instead of letting them do it, it's better for us to do it ourselves.
We also tell those who have unreasonable thoughts about our company through this one-month revenue.
Let's start from now on; it will be a behemoth they can't afford to provoke!"
Gaming giant?
Sorry!
From now on, I am also one of you, all giants, and none of us will lose!
There are conspiracies and tricks, you can bring them on!
In the past, because of a lawsuit with Penguin, the company almost went bankrupt. From now on, it is absolutely impossible to happen again.
Even if it happens, it will definitely be the other party that goes bankrupt!

Today, at eight o'clock in the evening.
A message was posted on the sidebar of the homepage of Snowflake Games' official website, which included the company's revenue statement for the month.
The location of the post is unremarkable.
However, after being noticed by interested parties, this inconspicuous news instantly caused an uproar in the global game circle.
Not only the game industry, but all walks of life were dumbfounded when they saw this report, and countless people were shocked.
This report is not an exaggeration to say that it is an industry miracle!
In the past, buyout games, even if they made money, were limited, and they could only reach a few hundred million.
But the appearance of Genshin Impact broke this situation!
A free game!
A game that only makes money by drawing cards can actually make nearly 3 billion in just one month!
The most important thing is that this game is not a buyout. As long as the game introduces new characters, it can continue to make money, and it can make three billion every month!
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a cash cow!
In the evening, the news about Genshin Impact's monthly revenue was reported by major news media and dominated the trending list on social media like a storm.
Countless people were shocked!
