Almighty Game Designer

Chapter 289: A Billion Dollars A Hero

In the studio, Chen Yue is considering the early promotion of the League of Heroes.

Although the Heroes League game itself has strong proliferation properties, early promotion strategies are important because the current channel capabilities of the Thunder Game Platform are far worse than those of previous penguins.

Moreover, the League of Heroes has a worse base of players in the world.

In the previous life, after all, there were DOTA Zhuyu in the previous life. At the time of the launch of the League of Heroes, the DOTA happened to be stuck in a very critical off-the-shelf period. The DOTA was highly popular among young people, especially the student population, but it was limited by a number of factors, including engine, ranking mechanism, difficulty in getting started, cheating, etc.

The Alliance of Heroes became hotter when it reduced the difficulty of getting started, coupled with a strong penguin operational promotion capability.

The resentment was put aside for the time being, and the fact that the League of Heroes had the light of DOTA was indisputable, after all, that DOTA was a pioneer in the market.

But what about the world?

Although COG also initially had the prototype of some MOBA games, it was ultimately an imperfect map, far from DOTA.

There is also a much smaller group of Warcraft Games players than in previous generations, and only a very small number of players really come into contact with COG in the entire player group.

As you can imagine, when Chen stranger launches the League of Heroes, the vast majority of players will react to "What kind of moth game is this?" instead of “Wow, there's finally a reliable MOBA game out there."

So, think about how to promote the League of Heroes.

Thinking about it, the phone on the table rang.

Chen Qiao picked it up and looked at it. It was a strange number for the Devil's Capital.

Chen Jiao answered: "Hello? ”

There was a man over the phone and he was very polite: "Hello, is this Mr. Chen Yu from Thunder Entertainment? ”

"It's me," said Chan. ”

The man over the phone said, "Hello, let me introduce myself. I'm the head of the GA Demon Duo Branch, you can call me Peter. ”

Chen Stranger frowned, Peter?

Although it is an English name, he speaks Chinese well and should not be a foreigner. Chen Qiao thought about it. After all, he is an executive of a foreign company. It is also quite normal to use the English name.

GA has a branch in Demon that matches the location of the phone number.

Chen Qiao asked: "Hello, can I help you? ”

"Well, we're working on a new game here at GA headquarters called COG, and I don't know if you know it. Because this game was originally a map in your game Warcraft Competition and used a lot of resources in the game, we were wondering if you could sell us the related art copyrights? Of course, the price is good. ”

"Not for sale," said Chan. ”

“Cough.” Peter choked and coughed twice, and said, "Mr. Chan, it's just some art copyright. In fact, with GA's R&D power and art level, it's easy to make a game that goes beyond Warcraft. The reason we want to buy your art copyright is mainly to continue the player's habit of COG's original image and maximize the consistency of this game...”

Chen Qiao: “Not for sale, if it's all right, I'll hang up. ”

“Please wait!” Peter's unexpectedly strange attitude is so resolute that he doesn't even ask for a quote. “You should know that GA is a very economically powerful company for these copyrights...”

Chen Jia: “Oh, how about a billion heroes? ”

Peter: "Huh? ”

This time, Peter's a jerk, a billion?

Your hero is made of gold? Besides, even gold can't be worth so much!

Peter tries to ask, “You mean, soft sister coins? ”

Chen Jiao: "No, beautiful knife. ”

Peter: “…”

A billion-dollar knife is a hero. Why not rob it? So if COG were to make 30 heroes, it would cost $30 billion?

That's a fucking valuation of the whole GA company!

Peter was a little upset and apparently the stranger's attitude was not sincere: “Mr. Chan, I don't know why, but I think you may have misunderstood something about this...”

"There's no misunderstanding," said Chan. "I already told you," I won't sell anything from Warcraft. "”

“By the way, tell Raman Cliff that while COG is a good map, it seems to me that it's still a long way off, and the nerdy Chinese are going to make a game of overwhelming COG. ”

Peter: “Mr. Chen Jiao...”

He hasn't finished his speech. Chan Myeong has hung up.

In fact, copyright buying and selling is not uncommon, it is not a big deal at all, for most gaming companies, as long as the money is enough, anything can be talked about.

As for Chan's attitude, why is he so determined?

First, the IP value of Warcraft Competition is difficult to measure with money. COG is also a competitor, and Chen Jiao is unlikely to lift a stone and smash his feet for short-term gain. Second, Chen Jiao is very dissatisfied with these people's attitude of contempt.

Obviously Raman Cliff and GA look down on themselves a little too much.

Raman Cliff doesn't believe that Chen Jiao can make a good game model like COG, but GA thinks it's just a few heroes' art copyrights? It's just a small company in a developing country, just plug in some money to buy the copyright.

Besides, Chen Jiao doesn't have any feelings for GA. He will eventually become an opponent in the future, and now he doesn't have to worry about how they feel.

However, it is also clear to Chen that changing the set of art resources will not be difficult for GA and will have minimal impact on COG.

After all, there are not many players in COG right now, then change the name of the hero, change the model, and add some new heroes, and the players will surely accept it.

But at least they're gonna make more of a mess.

……

For the next few moments, it seemed a little calm.

Although the Imperial Dynasty Recreation and Fantasy Gaming Platform has established the largest coalition of channel players in the country, there are still many independent game designers who choose to publish their games on unfamiliar gaming platforms.

Ultimately, this new major channel lacks a decisive piece to prove its strength.

Just like in the battle of the live broadcast platform, digging the anchor through the price war is just a means to really highlight the inherent and hard power of a live broadcast platform, or by God.

It doesn't matter if you dig me up as a red anchor, I'll fire another anchor in a month or two, even more than the one you dug up.

The same goes for channel vendors, who unilaterally brag about how many players they have in their hands is pointless, and can only prove their strength if they launch a harvest-grade PC or VR game masterpiece.

So, before such a game emerged, all players and designers were in a state of gourd watching, and Chen's strange thunderous gaming platform was currently in a very unfavourable situation, but it was premature to say that the dynasty and the magical victory.

The key is to see how the Dynasty and Fantasy play out next.
