Chapter 343 Battle.net Project! !
Men generally like guns. For the game "Counter-Strike", Li Zetian also has a special liking. He especially likes to use sniper rifles, sniper shots, blind sniper skills, etc., and he plays very well.When Li Zetian traveled, the "Counter-Strike" series of games was still one of the most popular games in the world, such as "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive", which is more realistic than "Counter-Strike", and is very popular among players.

Li Zetian misses "Counter-Strike" very much, so he thought of developing "Counter-Strike" just after formulating the Internet cafe project in China.In terms of the current technological level, it is enough to develop "Counter-Strike".

Li Zetian then turned his head to look at several people in charge of Westwood Studios. "Red Alert" is a very classic real-time strategy game. Before the development of "StarCraft", it was also very popular.

The game operation and graphics of "Red Alert" are not as exquisite as "StarCraft", so Li Zetian did not choose to develop "StarCraft", but developed "Red Alert".

"Dune Castle" is the world's first real-time strategy game, developed by Westwood Studios, which itself has real-time strategy game development experience.In addition, "Red Alert" was originally developed by Westwood Studios in the previous life, so it is most appropriate for this game to be developed by Westwood Studios.

Li Zetian said to them: "In the game "Red Alert", players can collect resources, upgrade buildings, build troops and attack, etc., which are actually modifications based on "Dune Demon". The confrontation between the major leagues is the background, and players can freely choose countries, such as the United States, Britain, Germany, etc..."

The eyes of several directors of Westwood Studios suddenly lit up. "Red Alert" is very similar to "Dune Devil", but after Li Zetian made such changes, the game has a more sense of substitution and a sense of national mission.

At this time, Li Zetian specially reminded: "Real-time strategy games pay great attention to balance. The weapons and equipment of each country should not be too powerful, otherwise it will easily destroy a game."

"Yeah!" Everyone nodded, naturally understanding the importance of game balance.

Li Zetian said: "I will send you the specific game design of "Counter-Strike" and "Red Alert" later. Now, I want to talk about a more important thing."

As he said that, Li Zetian glanced around the crowd, and said slowly: "Both "Counter-Strike" and "Red Alert" can be connected to the Internet, not only the local area network, but also the Internet, so that players from all over the world can fight online." After a pause, Li Zetian said loudly, "Through this, I want to establish a 'Battle.net' platform on the Internet, allowing players to pay to download games directly on the Internet, and fight through the 'Battle.net' platform! In the video game industry, fierce The Bird Company became dominant with the Flamingo game console, and all third-party game developers had to rely on our breath. In the computer game industry, I hope that the 'Battle.net' platform will become our most important platform like the Flamingo game console. weapons, let third-party game developers release games on this platform!"

After Li Zetian finished speaking, the people present were dumbfounded, their faces were shocked, and they looked at Li Zetian with dazed eyes, surprised at his majesty and grandeur.

It turned out that the development of "Counter-Strike" and "Red Alert" was not a crime.

The drunkard's intention is not to drink, but to build the "Battle.net" platform is the most important task of Flamingo.

"Mr. Li, I admire you so much. How did you come up with the idea of ​​building the 'Battle.net' platform?" Bushnell looked at Li Zetian, who was in high spirits, and felt deeply moved. Chronos Li's genius is always so amazing!

John Carmack and others looked at Li Zetian with deep admiration in their eyes. At this moment, they couldn't help being proud of joining the Flamingo Company.

"The genius creativity of the Battle.net platform is really eye-catching and surprising. Chronos Li is indeed the most talented person in history. With him in the Flamingo Company, which company can compete?" John Carmack said at this time I can't help but feel sad and pity for other companies.

The flamingo game console dominates the world, causing third-party game developers to follow the flamingo company to make a living.

Now, if the Battle.net platform is successfully built, it would be too scary for the computer game industry to be dominated by Flamingo again.

Everyone present is very smart. After Li Zetian talked about the Battle.net platform, they all realized the importance of Battle.net. It is no worse than the Flamingo game console!

Seeing how shocked they were, Li Zetian smiled and said, "With the development of the Internet, the importance of Battle.net will become increasingly prominent. If "Counter-Strike" and "Red Alert" are both very popular, it will be easy for the Battle.net platform to Developed. In the future, Flamingo’s computer games will be released directly on Battle.net, and players can download them for a fee. There is no need to go to the store to buy game CDs, which is much more convenient. As long as the popularity of the Battle.net platform is high, third-party game developers Naturally, they will be willing to publish games on Battle.net. Afterwards, a virtuous circle will follow, and the Battle.net platform will become the largest game publishing platform in the world!!!”

Li Zetian's words made everyone very excited.As the CEO of the company, Bushnell quickly discovered the problem and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Li, if players download the game, they can easily copy it and then spread it online. Wouldn't this damage our interests?"

Li Zetian smiled and said: "Bushnell, you are right to worry. However, in the Internet age, the game charging model has changed."

After speaking, Li Zetian looked at Bushnell and the others, and did not tell them immediately, but let them think about it.As the richest man in the world, Li Zetian is at the helm of countless companies. He has no skills and cannot do everything by himself, so many things still need to be done by themselves.

Seeing that Li Zetian wanted to consider them, everyone thought about them.

Bushnell frowned, and muttered: "The game charging model has changed? What is the change? On the Internet, games can be uploaded and downloaded at will. This is definitely an important blow to game developers..."

John Carmack pondered: "The change in the game charging model must be related to the Internet?"

"..."

Li Zetian smiled lightly and sipped the red wine leisurely.

Dongfang Yuqin, who was sitting beside him, had a smile on her brows. She already knew what the charging mode of the game was. When she thought of the first time she heard it, she couldn’t help but be amazed and admired, but she didn’t know if they could think of it...

After Li Zetian drank a glass of wine slowly, he asked, "Have you figured it out yet?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Mr. Li, don't be so secretive, tell me quickly!" Bushnell laughed.
