There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

  Chapter 170 Argument

finally.

  Because of Tianhu.

  The number of games that Lin Yao chose to participate in the Light of Grace Project has dropped by half...

  More than half of the producers directly expressed that they would not come to participate, especially the production teams whose games were about to be released and originally wanted to come to test the water.

  They were just here to test the waters.

  But Tianhu’s game platform can directly help them release games, and can clearly know the source of traffic.

   However, Linmu Studio still has to participate in the selection. According to Linmu Studio, whether it can be selected for distribution depends on the number of votes.

  This kind of uncertainty made many production teams give up.

  Lin Yao can't help it either.

  Who knows that a sky fox will come out in the middle, so Mu Wanqing can only let those producers who don't come to participate go well.

   As for holding grudges or getting angry, there is no need.

   This is human nature, and Lin Yao can still understand it.

Moreover.

  Although more than half of the games gave up participating in the Greenlight Project, half of them were willing to participate. I don't know the specific reasons for these people.

  They did not call to say they would not participate, but instead sent the promotional materials directly.

  Lin Yao has nothing to say about this, as long as it is a game that is sent promotional materials, she will check it carefully.

  But this game platform battle, because of the general publicity of Tianhu, has indeed become a big deal.

  Many players are aware of Lin Yao's Greenlight project and the upcoming game platform, and Tianhu's game platform has also appeared in the player's sight according to the exposure of some insiders.

   While the players are eating melons.

   Also a little puzzled why the two sides launched the game platform at the same time with such a tacit understanding.

  Tianhu is fine. Many players can see that they want to integrate many users in the communication software.

   But what is Forest Studio for? Because of the previous two online games, everyone who plays games now knows Linmu Studio.

  Many players can't figure out why they made the game platform and promoted the Greenlight project.

  They are not big.

  Why do you have to be thankless to build a platform and implement the Greenlight plan?

   Another thing that makes players even more puzzled is Tianhu's targeting of Linmu Studio.

  Tianhu's platform, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the most important purpose is to integrate the traffic of its various games and communication software, break through account barriers, and then attract traffic from the communication software to increase game users for its own online games.

  But the players attracted by the communication software are all light players. It is no problem for you to let these players play online games, but if you let them spend money to play independent games, it really takes a lot of effort.

   After all, these are light players, and it would be difficult for them to play online games under Tianhu.

  Free games are the first to be developed by Linmu Studio. "Fantasy OL" and "Breakout" are two examples, but because Linmu Studio never discloses financial reports.

  Many online game companies, including Tianhu, are still very cautious about free games, and many of their games are still based on point cards.

  Now Tianhu has announced that it welcomes major independent games and stand-alone games to release on its own platform... and is willing to give discounts and support.

   This is totally bucking the trend.

   It is estimated that it will cost a lot to achieve the benefits and support they give.

   But it's not worth it at all.

   Then there is only one possibility left.

  Ten Fox...in aiming at Linmu Studio.

   And when some independent game producers come out, the game must be released on the Tianhu platform, and a simple exclusive agreement must be signed first, that is, they cannot participate in the Greenlight project of Linmu Studio.

  The players were in an uproar instantly.

   "Damn, Tianhu is the boss, right? Is this aimed at a small studio?"

   "The small studio you are talking about, two games beat Tianhu, and the competition was named and praised..."

   "That's not the case, is it?"

   "Indeed...Unless Tianhu smells something, what Linmu Studio wants to do is not as simple as a game platform."

   "That's not what a gaming platform is?"

  After the discussion, the players were still puzzled.

  Mou Feng was also puzzled.

  He took a look at the news disclosed by Tianhu and Linmu Studio, and then called Li Guangsheng, the boss of Tianhu.

"what are you doing?"

  As soon as the call was connected, he immediately asked a question.

  Li Guangsheng was silent for a moment, then asked, "What are you doing?"

   "For Linmu Studio, the suggestion I made at the beginning was to let you integrate the traffic of the communication platform. It is true that it is a game platform and its project team breaks through the account barrier. It is indeed a good idea."

  Mou Feng said seriously: "But why are you staring at those independent games and stand-alone games? Do you really think that your platform can be a distribution channel for stand-alone and independent games? Do you really think Tianhu platform can do it?

   Tianhu's game platform should serve your online games! You know best whether the users of the communication software under Tianhu can play stand-alone! What good is it for you to draw big pies for those indie game and stand-alone game makers! ? "

   "So the game platform of Linmu Studio can be built?" Li Guangsheng asked back.

"I don't know, but their Greenlight plan, according to the disclosed information, is that the producers first produced promotional materials and asked players to vote. They didn't make any promises, they just used the traffic of their own games to give independent games It is an opportunity for the producers of stand-alone games, so that the producers can roughly predict the popularity of their games based on the number of votes, and then give some support to let them make the game.

  I can’t say whether this method is good or not, but at least it is responsible for the producers of independent games and stand-alone games, but what about you? Can you attract them with the traffic of communication software, can it really help them sell their games? "

   "Why not?" Li Guangsheng continued to ask rhetorically.

"madness!"

   "Yes! I'm stupid! Then how do you think I made Tianhu the number one in the country?"

When Li Guangsheng heard this word, he immediately became angry: "I just don't let my competitors grow! Don't I know that Tianhu's game platform users are not interested in independent games? I know! But even if I know, I have to think about it." Ways to curb Linmu Studio! Because it was just last year! Two of the hottest games came from their studio! The "Breakout" competition will bloom more in the next year. Every time their studio's name appears, the board of directors will quarrel. Now Tianhu and the insurance side are getting more and more separated, let Linmu Studio continue to develop! Tianhu will not only lose in the game! The company will be split into two!"

Mou Feng said unceremoniously: "That's what you asked for yourself. You pushed this studio out with your own hands. I heard from Chen Qi, the project leader of "Travel of the Fox", that he strongly opposed it at the beginning, but at that time the sky The fox didn't waver at all! Besides, you don't really think suppression is useful, do you?"

"Who knew at the time! As for whether the suppression is useful, I don't need you to teach me! I know it myself! I have a strong hunch this time. Linmu Studio is not just a game platform to launch its own games. In any case, I It won’t let them succeed! It’s fine if they innovate in the game, Tianhu has nothing to do with them, but now the idea of ​​making a platform hits, Tianhu will definitely win to the end, it’s that simple!”

   "If only you had the final say."

  Mou Feng sighed, and murmured: "If the other party will fail because of your suppression, that's fine."

  Li Guangsheng said angrily: "Stupid!"

   "..."

  …

  Mu Feng and Li Guangsheng, two good friends who parted ways because of disagreements, broke up again.

  Li Guangsheng is for Tianhu, the idea is very simple.

   But Mou Feng is a bit idealistic.

   It is not surprising that the two will actually part ways.

certainly.

   Lin Yao doesn't know these things for the time being.

  Although Tianhu is also a game platform, and it is very uncomfortable for her to target Linmu Studio.

  But Lin Yao's idea is very simple, you can't expect smooth sailing in everything you do, and you can't expect your opponent to let go or underestimate it.

   Being targeted is uncomfortable.

   Then comfort yourself as an exercise.

  Do what needs to be done as usual.

  Inside the studio, game platforms and new games are steadily produced.

   More than half of the games in the Greenlight project are missing, but there are still some.

   Then take the rest of the game seriously.

   In short.

  Do your own thing.

  Anyway, Lin Yao thinks so.

   And maybe because of the boss.

  Although Tianhu targeted, Linmu Studio was generally calm and the staff were busy with their own affairs. Occasionally, they would talk about being targeted in small talk, but most of them said it in a joking tone, and there was no atmosphere like facing an enemy.

  As usual, Lin Yao confirmed the development progress of the game and the platform, then walked out of the studio and went to the board factory under Forest Financial Holdings.

   Zhang Jianghu visited Linmu Studio a few years ago because of the president of his deadly rival AIB. Nervously, the higher-performance graphics chip that he promised to provide to the board factory under Linmu Financial Holdings has arrived.

  The board factory under Forest Financial Holdings has already tested it and made a sample graphics card.

  Lin Yao is going to take a look.

  Events from years ago.

  The biggest winner besides Linmu Studio is Reflecta.

  Relying on the popularity of the "Breakout" game and the competition, they overwhelmed several opponents in the rapidly growing field of game graphics cards.

   Now he is a veritable first brother.

  While Keli under Forest Financial Holdings is a little bit worse, but it is not without benefits.

  The competition was so hot back then.

   Forest Financial Holdings' Xingyao series graphics cards have also appeared in the sights of many players.

   As for Xingyao, it uses the same graphics card chip as Reflecta, but the materials and performance have been improved, and the graphics card has a cool appearance.

   Many players are interested.

  Finally, sales were good.

   It is not as good as Reflecta, but it can be regarded as opening up the market and getting a share of the pie.

   And this time Lin Yao came here to let Forest Financial Holdings expand the market... Now Reflecta and his competitors are still fighting in the field of entry-level game graphics cards.

  But this time the battle royale game launched by Linmu Studio has a larger map, and the graphics card requirements are a bit higher than "Breakout".

   Entry-level gaming graphics cards can run, but already struggle.

   So higher performance graphics cards are on the market.

  Lin Yao plans to let the battle royale game promote the Xingyao series of graphics cards under Forest Financial Holdings.

   Come to a wave of overtaking on a curve...

  If the game is successful, Xingyao series graphics cards should also be able to open up the situation.

At least.

   Should familiarize players with the brand.
