1. When the contract expires, Tencent DNF mobile game will stop updating
Dungeons & Warriors: Origins (DNF mobile game), a popular mobile game for players, has once again become a hot topic of public opinion. According to related reports, on June 19, the operation team of DNF mobile games issued an announcement, saying that since the contract with Tencent has expired, from June 20, the game will no longer be available on the app stores of some Android platforms.
Among them, it includes not only the app stores of mobile phones such as Huawei and Xiaomi, but also the app stores of manufacturers such as OPPO and vivo. According to Tencent's notice, in these channels, the "Dungeons & Warriors: Origins" mobile game package will also stop updating, and even players have been unable to find the download entrance of the game in the vivo app store.
For such news, I believe that many players who love DNF mobile games are undoubtedly a very big blow. Because the contract expires, it means that they will not be able to update the game through the usual channels, which will also affect the subsequent game experience and content updates.
2. When the contract expires, Tencent DNF mobile games will stop being updated
Since DNF mobile games have been online for so many years, why is there a situation where the contract expires at this time? In fact, this has a very direct relationship with the publisher of the game.
As the publisher of DNF mobile games, Tencent is naturally impossible to be absent. However, when Tencent released the game, it did not directly choose to put the game on the shelves in the major app stores, but distributed the game through the "hardcore alliance".
The so-called "hardcore alliance" is actually a value-added service organization composed of first-tier smartphone manufacturers, and when Tencent chooses game distribution, it also cooperates with these mobile phone manufacturers to achieve game listing and updating on specific channels.
However, now there is a situation where the contract has expired, that is, the cooperation agreement on the channel for the game to be launched in Wuji World has expired, and Tencent has not renewed the contract with the major mobile phone manufacturers in the "hardcore alliance", which has led to the situation that the game cannot continue to be updated in these channels.
3. Re-selection of the game publisher
Since DNF mobile games cannot be updated in major app stores, what should players do in such a situation?
In fact, for ordinary players, it is true that it cannot directly affect the contract renewal of the game, but they can put some "pressure" on the publisher of the game in other ways.
For example, the retention rate of the game, the number of active users and other data can be used to show Tencent the influence of DNF mobile games in these channels, so that Tencent can choose the channel to release the game again.
Of course, for Tencent, they must have their own considerations and considerations in cooperation with mobile phone manufacturers, whether it is the content review of the game, or the follow-up content update, Tencent hopes to better protect the healthy ecology of the game through such a channel, and bring players a better game experience.
4. When the contract expires, Tencent DNF mobile game will stop being updated
However, both Tencent and players believe that they do not want the game to be unable to update normally because of the expiration of the contract, so in the coming days, perhaps Tencent and major mobile phone manufacturers will also renew the contract as soon as possible, so that DNF mobile games can be re-listed in major app stores, bringing more surprises and fun to players.
Of course, if players have a very urgent need for game updates, they can also download and update the game through third-party app stores, however, in such operations, players also need to have a certain sense of risk to avoid the risk of malware invasion of mobile phones due to downloading pirated games, which brings the risk of personal information leakage.
To sum up, I believe that everyone has a certain understanding of the problem that the DNF mobile game cannot be updated when the contract expires, and both Tencent and players hope to solve this problem as soon as possible, so that the game can be re-launched in major channels and bring players a better game experience.
Of course, if the publisher of the game has other contract options, it can also be properly communicated and explained to the player, after all, only with the understanding and support of both parties will the future of the game be better.
