Nexon has released its investor presentation Q3 2017 report that states Bluehole Studio’s प्लेयरअज्ञात का बैटलग्राउंड has made it tough for FPS games in the current market. Nexon also claims that it has led to Boss Key Productions’ कानून तोड़ने वालों to have low concurrent players.
The arena shooter competitive game is not only available for PC, but it happens to be available for PS4.
Given that it’s currently available for PC and PS4 you’d think that it would be doing well when it comes to player count and units moved, right? Well, no. According to the figures out there, कानून तोड़ने वालों has only been able to maintain 29 concurrent players, compared to the 3.1 million concurrent players in प्लेयरअज्ञात का बैटलग्राउंड.
आप सोच रहे होंगे क्यों प्लेयरअज्ञात का बैटलग्राउंड made it into the equation? The reason behind it is that Nexon, the publisher of कानून तोड़ने वाले, claims in a Q3 2017 निवेशक रिपोर्ट that LawBreakers faced an unfortunate crawl in concurrent players and sales due to the battle royale game:
“Our results in North America in the third quarter were below our outlook, mainly due to the sales from कानून तोड़ने वालों being below our expectations. कानून तोड़ने वालों is a unique FPS developed for core users”.
पत्र में आगे कहा गया कि...
“We had very high expectations for its launch; however, the timing of its launch turned out to be unfortunate, specifically the blockbuster PC online game प्लेयरअज्ञात का बैटलग्राउंड came out right about the same time, making the market environment very tough for first-person shooters in general and for कानून तोड़ने वालों".
According to the publication site, due to the performance of कानून तोड़ने वाले, Nexon has noted that it suffered higher-than-planned expenses. However the publisher found an offset thanks to the performances of Dungeon & Fighter, MapleStory2, FIFA Online 3, तथा AxE.
Nexon hasn’t disclosed the exact amount of money lost due to क़ानून तोड़ने वाले, but the company did note that it accounts for the majority of their Q3 expenses, which totaled roughly around $32.6 million.
