Yesterday, the American market data research organization SuperData recently released a report that shocked friends in the foreign game industry. According to the report, among the top ten most profitable free games in the world in 2013, China's Tencent's "Crossfire", "League of Legends" and "Dungeon Fighter" took the top three, making them the biggest winners in the process of game digitization.

The American Forbes website wrote an article yesterday, expressing full shock that CF topped the global free game revenue list. "I recognize every game on the list, except for the first one, which I have never heard of." The website said, "CF is insanely popular in South Korea and China. Of its total annual global revenue of US$957 million, most of it is earned by the global gaming giant Tencent."
"It's hard to understand why so many people in China are willing to do so. Pay for CF." The author of the article also said in surprise in the title of the article: "I have never heard of such a profitable free game."

Despite this, Forbes fully affirmed the success of CF in the Asian market. The article believes that CF's stable gameplay and reasonable charging settings are important reasons why the product attracts players and "is worth learning from."
Old Americans are shocked that CF revenue ranks first in the world: I have never heard of anything.

The first time I spent my own money to top up a game I had always thought of as 'those who spend money to play are idiots,' it was just to buy a Hunt Fox. My friend spent 8 yuan on a draw, twice—once to get the Hunt Fox, once to get the Flying Tiger. I was very honest and went ahead and bought it… At that time I was very rational, constantly asking myself if I would regret it. But even now, even though I didn't really play on the computer properly during all three years of high school, and the games I used to play on the computer are long gone in some super terrible versions, I, this idiot, still don't regret it. People rave about how terrible CF is and so on… it's kind of self-mocking.
→_→ I've been playing for more than five years. I started playing as soon as the Hunter class was released. Now I'm disappointed with this game. It won't be long before it shuts down, which is why they're frantically releasing hero weapons. I want to ask, why didn't they release them when there were five million players online before, and only now?
