I just want players to save money, but I was made the richest man - Chapter 258
c249 E3 exhibition, Ready Player One’s new work is!
Years later, “Pokémon” was officially launched.
Although the turn-based gameplay is not a big hit in today’s era where a hundred flowers are blooming.
But the idea of capturing elves and training them to become your companions is very attractive.
In particular, each elf has its own characteristics and can grow and evolve.
You can even exchange elves with each other offline and play against your friends.
And according to the news released by the “Number One Intelligence” APP, there are plans to build a trainer battle arena in DreamWorks in the future.
The panoramic projection technology that was successful in “Extinction” will still be used.
Going one step further, AR will be developed to interface with virtual reality, allowing players to capture Pokémon in safe areas in major cities.
Paired with AR glasses and capture sensors jointly launched by Number One Player and Dongzhi Technology, it is convenient for players to communicate in various forms of activities such as offline gatherings, dates, hobbies, and competitions.
When the number one player told the players about the development prospects of “Pokémon”, the players’ expectations for this game were instantly high.
Yes, the online turn-based system is not fresh enough.
But if you can catch the elves offline, it will be a sure win!
This move can also directly boost local economic consumption.
After all, the number one player has the final say on where in reality Pokémon will be spawned.
If I put rare elves in the suburbs, many people will run to the suburbs.
If you are in a busy city, there will be many people flocking in. When the time comes, those who are hungry and tired will be instantly attracted to the surrounding business circle.
It can be said that when this information is made public.
Not only the players, but also the big guys in various business circles were shocked.
Before this, they had never imagined that the prospects brought by a game would be so attractive, and could even be directly turned into economic benefits…
If only I could cooperate with the number one player.
For example, the real-life capture location of the popular character “Mewtwo” was randomly refreshed in front of the entrance of my LV flagship store.
How much traffic will that bring?
This is immeasurable.
What about going further?
Can I have my own brand’s logo printed on the Poké Ball?
Can Pokémon also change skins? Wearing some house-brand clothes?
If you look at it layer by layer in this way, the commercial value brought by the “Pokémon” IP is very amazing!
There are even good people who calculate it.
If the number one player is a listed company.
Then, based on the information on the follow-up development plan of “Pokémon”, the virtual market value brought by it can already turn the number one player into a Fortune 500 company.
With such a good prospect, stockholders and investors will definitely want to pump up the stock.
But it’s a pity.
The number one player has not been listed from the beginning to the end, so it cannot participate in the value ranking.
But this is not to say that it is another unyielding voice from another level to the world where capital is the mainstream.
Except for the “Pokémon” part.
League of Legends has become increasingly popular around the world recently.
During this period, a wealthy player in China posted a video under his real name, which became a hot search topic.
It revealed some of the current hidden operations in “Zerg Arena” and the top player’s rigorous attitude towards maintaining the game environment.
The game player whose real name is Zhao Jun said that he could achieve a series of hidden privileges by recharging money in “Zerg Arena”.
And this kind of privilege, which seems insignificant, actually affects the economic balance very much.
He also expressed his deep apology for maliciously damaging the League of Legends environment.
As soon as the video came out, it instantly went viral on game forums at home and abroad.
You know, competitive games.
What players care about most is fairness.
If I have already lost this game due to external factors before I even play it, then what’s the point of my half an hour of hard work and so many battles?
Many players also discovered this belatedly and tested it themselves, proving this point.
“Zerg Arena” was forced into a very embarrassing situation.
Soon, the server of “Zerg Arena” was closed.
The external announcement is emergency maintenance.
But in fact, everyone knows it.
“Zerg Arena” is just worried about more potential settings being explored.
Players may not be able to know your backend data settings, but they can conduct repeated tests and comparisons by grabbing most of the players’ data.
Once the final conclusion deviates significantly from the preset value, it can be inferred that there is a problem with the settings of your background data.
The same is true for the probability of drawing cards, and the same is true for the matching mechanism. They are all conclusions that can be deduced from the number of piles.
If you have to say it.
As long as the manufacturer refuses to admit it, players really have no good solution.
Of course, that was before.
Now.
Players have the company Ready Player One.
You made such a mess in “Zerg Arena”.
Then I will go play “League of Legends”.
This isn’t even a replacement.
But a superior substitute.
The game itself is free, the matching mechanism is relatively reasonable, and players have fun playing it.
Why not.
…
The popularity of “League of Legends” continues to rise.
But Zerg Arena is having a tough time these days.
After the secret operation was arrested on the spot by the players, even if Blizzard refused to admit it, the players no longer believed them.
The original launch of “Zerg Arena” was to drive the overall flow of “Zerg Conflict”.
As a result, not only was it not brought up, but the flow of the body began to plummet.
There was a crisis of confidence in the storm.
In this regard, as the current CEO of Blizzard, Mead is even more miserable, and his hair is falling out in handfuls due to stress.
The board of directors has given him an ultimatum.
If within a month, there is no way to bring back the monthly revenue of “Zerg”.
Then change someone.
The group of senior executives trained by Meade also had to face the crisis of major replacement.
Therefore, Midla led a group of senior officials to rack their brains and began to think of the final countermeasure.
“League of Legends” is obviously not something they can touch now.
If you want to solve the current crisis, you can only start from aspects related to yourself.
For example.
“I noticed that the Chinese player group is currently the one that leads the most rhythm.” Mead looked at the senior officials with a serious face and continued.
“On the contrary, the response from the Omi player group was not great.”
“So, if we can cut off contact with Chinese players, we may be able to effectively prevent the spread of negative news about our game.”
Hearing this, the expressions of the senior executives changed slightly.
Cut off contact with Chinese players…
That is to say.
Will “Zerg” be withdrawn from China?
“What about the data of so many Chinese players?”
“Yes, this is no small matter… maybe we will be scolded by public opinion until it explodes…”
“This…this kind of thing has never happened before.”
The senior executives looked at each other.
Meade, however, felt a bit desperate, gritting his teeth and said harshly.
“In the long run, not cutting is indeed better for snowstorms.”
“But by then, it won’t be us who will benefit. You know, it will be the new CEO and the new senior management. What does it have to do with you and me?”
After what they said, all the senior officials fell silent.
After a while, Meade knocked on the table.
“Just do this, our main force is in Omi.”
…
The next day.
When Blizzard issued a statement stating that it would terminate its cooperative relationship with Netcom and withdraw the license for “Zerg Hegemony”.
The entire Chinese players exploded!
Just as Mead initially discussed with senior executives.
It is inevitable to trigger an earthquake in public opinion.
Being scolded is also inevitable.
But in order to maintain the interests of their group.
Only cutting!
Block the occurrence path of Chinese players.
Just keep the Omega market as the main force.
Otherwise, let’s keep dragging it on like this.
Sooner or later, the opinions of Chinese players will flow along tiktok and spread all over the world.
As for the Chinese players scolding.
Then let them scold you.
It’s all planned to be cut off anyway, so who cares about your Chinese market.
Suddenly, the Chinese people were angry, but there was nothing they could do.
Originally, Meade thought that this matter might just go away.
As a result, an accident happened that he didn’t expect.
Ready Player One.
He ended up in this incident!
Generally speaking, this is other people’s business, just take care of yourself. This is the most basic principle of being a human being.
But the fate of the number one player this time was not evasive.
The situation of “Zerg Arena” was directly posted on the home page of the League of Legends client for promotion.
Let every player in the world who starts LOL know this in detail at the first glance.
Although Blizzard’s legal department immediately applied for sanctions against the top player’s behavior.
But the performance of the number one player is like a veteran.
They directly used a set of gameplay that their Omi capitalists are best at using.
The general operation is “Today there was a problem with our client. The person operating this interface was a temporary worker. We have now fired him. Our Ready Player One Company deeply apologizes for the inconvenience caused by the snowstorm.”
This time, Meade was completely tortured and numb.
It also allows all LOL players around the world to have a deeper understanding of this decision made by the Blizzard team.
Omi players are also starting to feel insecure.
Your blizzard can abandon Chinese players today.
Can you also abandon us Omi players tomorrow?
After all, you have not refunded the fees that players have recharged. What is the difference between this and open grabs?
A company as big as yours still does this kind of thing.
So can we have reasonable doubt?
The Electronic Arts guy next door wears the same pants as you.
Is this also the virtue?
After all, who doesn’t know that both of you are affiliated with Blue Ocean Paradise?
Now, things completely exploded.
It has become a headline hit not only in the gaming community, but also on social media around the world.
Everyone was having nothing to do and discussing the outrageousness of Blizzard’s operation.
Some people even suggested that global players should unite. We are all consumers and users, so we must unite! Resist the arbitrary behavior of capitalists!
If he doesn’t give an explanation today, I don’t even dare to think about what he will dare to do tomorrow!
The matter went directly to the Blizzard board of directors.
The board of directors also held meetings overnight.
The capitalists on the board of directors are often more able to handle money precisely because they love money.
The final result of the discussion was, ‘We apologize to players around the world for the Blizzard team’s inappropriate behavior this time. We will strictly supervise the behavior of the team’s senior leaders in the future. ’
Furthermore, Meade and the relevant senior executives were all sued to court on multiple charges including “suspected damage to the corporate image” and “direct damage to the company’s earnings.”
According to some big guys who understand U.S. law.
Meade and his gang are guilty of minor crimes.
However, such a large loss caused by the violation of the law directly led to the loss of income of the US Taxation Bureau.
Even the IRS has dispatched police at light speed to intervene in the investigation.
The matter became serious instantly.
After all, the FBI knocking on the door may be just for fun.
But the IRS knocked on the door, and even Satan was suspected of tax evasion.
A farce has come to an end for the time being. The “temporary labor operation” of the number one player has become an argument that players around the world are talking about, and it has also made this company, which has only been developed in Omi for less than a year, once again suck. A wave of fans.
In China, the number one player who helped Chinese players make a fuss has been put on a pedestal.
So much so that some players who had only played “Zerg Arena” before and tried their best to smear “League of Legends” on major forums have changed their views and jumped into the arms of LOL, paying money to buy skins and helping promote it online for free. Have fun doing it.
The matter has come to an end for now.
But not long after.
The E3 game exhibition in the middle of the year, this highly anticipated game carnival, is coming one after another.
As usual, major game manufacturers usually release trailers for their new games at the E3 exhibition.
Come and use this free but huge traffic treasure to promote your works.
But this year there are some subtle changes.
In the past, OMI game manufacturers were the main players. In East Asia, Neon Country and South Korea occasionally participated in the exhibition, but they were in the minority.
As for Hua, basically no one invited them.
But this time, perhaps it’s the strong game design capabilities that Ready Player One has shown before.
Or maybe Ready Player One has set off a new wave of gaming revolution in the gaming industry.
Anyway.
This E3 exhibition, let alone invite Chinese manufacturers.
Instead, the venue was set directly in China for the first time!
And it’s right in Jianglin, where the headquarters of the number one player is located!
We sincerely invite the number one player, an old club representing the Chinese gaming industry, to participate in the E3 exhibition with new games!
On this highly anticipated day, players and media around the world are beginning to look forward to what more eye-catching works No. 1 Player will come up with this time!
It will be over in just a few chapters. When the time comes, I will respond to all your doubts in my final remarks.
For example, the love scenes that have been criticized quite badly, the dual heroines, and the problems in the middle and later stages of the book. There are all kinds of things. I will make a big summary in the closing remarks.
Because actually I have a lot to say, but because there are so many things I want to say, I can’t explain them all clearly at the end of the chapter, and because the book is not finished, I still can’t make a final conclusion in many cases, so it’s hard to say.
Let’s wait until it’s over, and I’ll have a chat with you all then.
