How is the Free Fire game played?
The game begins with 50 people gathered in an unarmed plane going to an island which will be the arena of war and battle between the rivals. Each player begins by parachuting to the place of his choice on the island.
When you go down, you will be completely defenseless. And you will start looking for weapons and tools that will help him to survive. You can also search for vehicles and use them for transportation or even run over other players.
And in the game there are two main areas, the safety zone, and the danger zone, the safety zone, in the beginning, includes the entire territory of the island and as you progress in the game, the security zone will begin to shrink every few minutes, which will force you to move to stay within the safety zone, otherwise, you will lose your life points and die,
and the second zone is the danger zone, this area if you enter it makes you exposed to other fighters, which makes you an easy target so you have to avoid it, your goal in the game, in short, is to eliminate the other 49 players, with the last man standing to be the winner.
The beauty is that you can play as a team where team members can communicate with each other life via voice
Also, instead of playing as a nameless guy or girl, or buying a skin that has no effect on the gameplay, you can play as one of the game's fifteen heroes, all of whom come with their own unique gameplay-changing feature. Each hero can be unlocked with in-game currency or real money.
This is the point that enabled the game to win millions of dollars, which is that people actually buy a lot of features. They entered the game with their own money, to the point that many children stole their father’s bank card to buy weapons or open locks in the Free Fire game.
Where is the success of the game now?
This overwhelming success of Free Fire in the world of video games enabled Frost Lee to become the second developer in the world to become a billionaire thanks to a mobile video game.
Of course, you will ask if Frost Lee is the second developer, who is the first, the answer is simple remembers the first developer in the world to become a billionaire because of a mobile video game is Tim Sweeney, founder, and CEO of Epic Games, and the game that made him a billionaire is Fortnite.
Of course, the profits of Free Fire do not enter all of Frost's pocket for me, but other companies own a large share of these companies, Tencent, a Chinese game company that owns a large percentage of Free Fire, up to 39.7%. Strangely enough, this same company owns a share of Epic Games (40%), the developer of the game Fortnite, and also owns Bluehole / PUBG Corporation (11.5%).
