Reborn multinational giant

"Huizhong acquired 51% of Valve's shares!"

When this news was announced, the global game industry was in an uproar!

Although, since the original game developer conference launched by Steam China two years ago and Huizhong Cloud launched its game cloud solution, the whole world believed that Huizhong would become the well-deserved overlord of the global game industry, but no one thought that Huizhong’s The pace is so fast!

In the past, Huizhong's mobile game business and web game business spread all over the world, but as the mobile game business of the game industry, Huizhong's achievements in this area are sourced and limited to steam China. 1.3 billion Chinese people have cultivated the world's largest single The game market has cultivated over 50 million steam Chinese users, and has also created the brilliant achievements of Steam China and Huizhong!

The reason why global game manufacturers recommend and recognize Huizhong as the dominant player in the global game industry is because they covet and cannot ignore the huge Chinese market. The huge Chinese market alone has nurtured Huizhong, Tencent, NetEase and many other top global players. game company.

In the past life, most of the game business was also limited to Tencent in China, and it was also the world's most profitable game company based on the domestic market alone. However, in this life, Huizhong's ambitions are more than that!

Just like what Zhe said to Newell, the founder of Valve, two months ago: "Huizhong's determination to globalize is beyond doubt!"

This kind of firm determination gave Huizhong the indomitable belief, and also shocked and panicked the global game manufacturers!

Huizhong controls Valve, which is equivalent to controlling the Steam world. If the steam world also becomes steam China, does that mean that global game manufacturers can only become game production machines on the Huizhong and steam platforms?

All game manufacturers have no doubt about this, just like when Steam China was born, no one would have thought that it has dominated most Chinese game players today and dominated the entire Chinese game market.

After several years of development, steam China has shown a great siphonic effect. Except for top game manufacturers such as Blizzard, which can also release games in China through cooperation with major manufacturers such as NetEase, most game manufacturers have to rely on the Chinese market. Steam China publishes games, because there are too many game players on Steam China, so many that they almost represent the Chinese game player group, and the games released by manufacturers independently or by small and medium-sized agents have not many players at all.

More and more good games have gathered to steam China, attracting more and more players to steam China. Until now, steam China has almost become an existence similar to the Apple appstore. Players first look for steam China, and then Find games.

If this situation in Steam China spreads to the world, the consequences may be as scary as when players only knew Nintendo FC and did not know who the developer behind each game was, because it meant that the developer could only become a platform Employers in, cannot establish their own reputation and brand, every game starts from scratch!

This is also one of the main reasons why EA, Ubisoft, Blizzard and other major game companies are unwilling to cooperate with Steam, but have established their own game platforms or independently publish games.

In the past, in addition to steam China, the global steam company was dominated by Valve. These big manufacturers were not very worried, because the strength of Valve and other game companies was not much different, but now Huizhong has become the main player of Valve and Steam Global. The situation is different.

Manufacturers will not forget that more than a year ago, Huizhong’s mobile social software WeChat, which dominates the world, opened up an account with Steam China and scanned a QR code with a mobile phone, which eliminated all the steam registration process and opened it. With the Huabei function in WeChat Pay, you can buy the game first and then pay, and you can also pay in installments. If you feel that this game is not fun, you can get a full refund within 30 days, and you can redeem any game for free within 90 days. The price of the game.

It is hateful that Chinese gamers who have always loved to exploit loopholes to take advantage of pirated games have been tweeted by the wealthy Hui Zhongzhi, and I heard that any player with a WeChat credit of more than 800 points can play any one on Steam China for free. Games!

With the support of Huizhong's huge financial resources and various operating methods, Steam China is no longer limited to an ordinary game platform, but has become a part of Huizhong's entire pan-entertainment system.

If Huizhong uses all these methods and tricks on Steam and global gamers, how can game manufacturers who only know how to make games with peace of mind beat Huizhong?

Falling down falling down falling down!

After Huizhong announced the news of its holding of Valve, the share prices of global game manufacturers have suffered varying degrees of decline. Ubisoft, EA and other companies that have also established game platforms overseas, as well as Huizhong’s largest domestic enemy Tencent, have their share prices even more 10%!

At the beginning, even Fang Zhe was puzzled. Huizhong's control of Valve was only a signal of further internationalization. It was enough for the share price of overseas game manufacturers to fall. Why did Tencent's share price fall so hard?

You know, when Tencent opposed the so-called TGP platform of Steam China, it has long since become a game box for Tencent's own games because there are no third-party games. It can be said that TGP has been suppressed by Steam China to the point where there is no room for decline, so Fang Zhegang knows I was also a little confused when this news came.

After some investigation and research, Li Wencai told Fang Zhe that it turned out that a so-called "Huizhong panic disorder" had spread in the stock market. However, if Huizhong has a big deal, its opponents will surely suffer, and the investors will naturally. They dumped the stocks of these rival companies one after another, and as Huizhong’s biggest domestic enemy, Tencent naturally became the most unlucky target for selling!

In this regard, Fang Zhe is really dumbfounded. Not to mention, the experience summed up by investors is quite accurate, because even if Tencent's current stock price does not fall, its stock price will fall in the future.

Just now, Huang Siyi, who is in charge of Huizhong's investment business, returned news that Sina had already negotiated and agreed to join Huizhong's Weibo!

Didn’t Mr. Ma take Tencent Weibo as Tencent’s current life-saving straw?Well, I will destroy your life-saving straw!
