Alan Adhan, president of Blizzard, is now looking at another game development team at the company. This development team was established two years ago, but the progress has not been satisfactory to the company.
The majority shareholder Zhiduoxing has developed two games, Legend and Miracle. The legendary paid users claim to exceed 10 million. In the Chinese market, there are millions of loyal players.
Although the miracle is worse, there are nearly 10 million active users worldwide, and there are also millions of long-term paying players.
Large-scale multiplayer online role-playing online games are more profitable than traditional stand-alone games and LAN games, and they are also more profitable than the most popular strategy games.
Because everyone said that this large-scale online game combines the advantages of many traditional games. The same can pass the level, you can play against, you need strategy, but also need teamwork.
And because there are more people playing at the same time, the map is bigger and there are more changes.
This game must be very profitable in the future. Blizzard, as a top gaming company, naturally sees it in their eyes. They cannot miss this big cake.
To make something different and play it for a long time, they think it must be a 3D online game. The 2D game has fallen behind, and the picture can't be compared with 3D.
And many games have relatively few skills, and the player's autonomy is poor when upgrading, which is also a shortcoming of Blizzard.
Blizzard's idea is to abandon all the shortcomings and launch a game that can be enjoyed by people for a long time, you will definitely make more money, and the profit period will definitely be longer.
Each time the company developed a game, it will be announced before it is completed, so as to warm up the market and facilitate their sale after listing.
Since being controlled by Zhiduoxing Group, Allen has learned a new model, that is, not to say anything first, and then give competitors a head-on attack.
Although more funds are needed for intensive propaganda, the effect is better.
After becoming a company controlled by a subsidiary of Zhiduoxing, Blizzard's development is also better than in the previous life, with the funds and energy to develop two large-scale games at the same time.
Blizzard's main plan this year is to launch Warcraft 3, and now this game has many fans around the world. They have also made two versions, one is the single version, which can only be installed by one computer, and the other is the business version, which is specially opened for Internet cafes and so on.
All machines in Internet cafes can be used, but system files cannot be copied. Of course, it is not completely impossible to crack, but are those technical experts interested in cracking them?
With that technology, the salary of a technician is not low, just buy a game disc.
This is also requested by Zhiduoxing Group, because China has too many Internet cafes, in fact, there are other countries, but Blizzard has not paid attention to it.
Before Zhang Yang had not managed to install pirated games in Internet cafes, he suddenly started some time ago and cooperated with the industry and commerce departments around the world to check the Internet cafes and request the other party to install genuine games and pay a fee.
This action has attracted many Internet cafe bosses' scolding, but in fact it has no effect on players. The owner of the internet cafe also knew that he was justified, and he couldn't screw Zhiduoxing's thigh at the same time.
Actually, Zhang Yang doesn’t want much. In an Internet cafe, there are not many stand-alone games released by Zhiduoxing. As long as 10,000 or 20,000 yuan can be replaced by genuine ones for you, there are problems. Zhiduoxing Group is also responsible for after-sales maintenance.
At the beginning, many unknown netizens also scolded Zhiduoxing and said that Zhiduoxing grabs money. But when Zhiduoxing announced that the relevant income would be donated to the Zhiduoxing Education Fund, no one said anything.
In fact, these incomes are not high, not to mention several hundred million RMB, which is not in the eyes of Zhiduoxing Group. It's just normal revenue, it also protects the genuine, and protects the industry environment. Why doesn't Zhiduoxing do it?
Many small game development companies in previous generations of China have no living space because there are too many pirated versions. Everyone is not reluctant to pay for this, otherwise there will not be so many legendary paying players.
Everyone is just not used to it and feels that there is no money. Why should I spend it? Isn’t it stupid?
To put it bluntly, China's economic development is not fast enough, everyone has little money in their pockets, and they want a better life. When everyone is a well-off family, they don't care about these little money.
Just like cosmetics were so expensive 20 years ago, how many are you willing to use? But now, more and more people are using it, including many men who use professional skin care products. Before Zhang Yang is reborn, this proportion will be higher.
is also Zhang Yang's shot, so that Blizzard's revenue in China has increased a lot, Blizzard will make up its mind, must develop a fun large-scale online games.
Blizzard believes that this game, if it can be successful, can bring Blizzard billions of dollars in profits, certainly longer life than the 2D legend.
Only in terms of game planning, there have been some differences within them. Some believe that they should be set directly into two camps, naturally opposing. Some think it is unnecessary, and it is more appropriate for players to form their own camp.
There are also differences in the setting of professional skills, maps, monsters, and equipment. They all have differences. So far, they have not made much progress.
Of course, it is also related to the current network speed and the lack of advanced 3D technology. To make a 3D large-scale online game, the research and development capital and energy to be invested is not a small amount~EbookFREE.me~ After thinking about it, Allen called the familiar phone. He is one of the few people who can leapfrog to the phone.
Zhang Yang was walking slowly on the treadmill, and the ringtone of the mobile phone interrupted the sound of the songs he enjoyed.
"Hello? Allen? What's the matter?"
"Mr. Zhang, Blizzard has an idea here. I want to develop a large-scale online game, like a miracle, but in 3D."
"It's just that the development is more difficult and requires more capital. I plan to upgrade the company's office equipment and invest more in development."
"And Warcraft 3 will be on sale this year, and we will start advertising now, so the profit in the first quarter of this year will not be turned in, nor will it be turned in in the second quarter, and even the profit for the whole year will not be turned in, but will be invested in new Game development."
"I plan to develop that game in two years, because the game is relatively large, so the time cannot be particularly short."
"Yes." Zhang Yang interrupted Allen.
"What? Did you agree?" Allen couldn't believe it. He didn't explain it well, so Mr. Zhang agreed?
"Yeah, I said, Blizzard's business is your responsibility. I believe your judgment. If the funds are not enough, I can invest another sum of money."
"No need, no need, enough funds. Thanks to President Zhang for your support, I believe this online game can sweep the world!"
