Rebirth Online Entertainment

Chapter [-]: Winning Blizzard Online Game Development Rights

"Yeah, I think so too.【

Aishang Reading Network]”

When Mike heard Chen Jiayi mentioned that he would develop World of Warcraft into an online game, he felt very good.

"What do you think if our Tang Dynasty Network releases an online game based on the Warcraft series?"

At this time, Chen Jiayi said something.

World of Warcraft, as everyone knows in later generations, is an online game developed by Blizzard Entertainment.This game has brought more than 1000 million simultaneous online players worldwide.Moreover, because it is a point card fee.Therefore, Blizzard's World of Warcraft is actually the most profitable game in the world.Because of this, Blizzard has increased its value to tens of billions of dollars with the success of a World of Warcraft game.

Of course, Blizzard, who has tasted the sweetness in later generations, has a new online game plan.For example, adapt Diablo into an online game.Moreover, an auction setting has been added to Diablo.In other words, players can use real money to purchase virtual equipment in the game through the Diablo platform.Of course, players can also auction off virtual items through the Diablo platform to get real money.

This mode greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the game.However, with Blizzard's development progress, it has not been released until 2011.Perhaps, this Diablo is a product used to inherit World of Warcraft.At least, Diablo shouldn't be released until World of Warcraft shows signs of fatigue.Otherwise, wouldn't it be grabbing their own market.

Now Chen Jia opened his mouth and mentioned the development of an online game with Warcraft as the genre.He just wanted to give it a try, how would Mike feel?Because, with the game of Warcraft as the genre, Blizzard now has the Warcraft series.Strictly speaking, Blizzard is the best developer of online games based on the theme of Warcraft.

"I think with the game production level of the Tang Dynasty Internet, it will definitely be able to develop an online game that is popular all over the world..."

Although Blizzard has no plans for online games, it doesn't mean that Mike doesn't want to develop them.Moreover, he has also studied the money Tang Chaowang earned from online games.It can be said that they earn more than their competitive games.Of course, if Warcraft 3 comes out, it's another matter.

Because they have strong confidence in the Frozen Throne.Moreover, their belief is to do a good job in strategic competitive games.So, for Mike.Even if there is an online game plan, the current idea is not very strong.This point, Chen Jiayi could read between the lines.

Concealing the excitement in his heart, he knew that the current Mike might not be interested in online games.However, in a year or two.Even Blizzard, which is not very interested in online games, will make online games in order to make money.Moreover, the development of online games does not conflict with their continued development of strategy games.

"Haha, my friends, I think, how can you be missing from the online game plan? Well, what I want to say is that our Tang Dynasty Network wants to adapt Warcraft, including Diablo... into online games, you How do you feel?"

"Let me think about it?"

At this moment, Mike began to think.

Because, although the current Blizzard has no plans to develop online games, the future is not certain.However, the current Tang Dynasty Internet seems to be eyeing this market.This is not a good thing, although Blizzard and Tang Dynasty Network are still allies.However, among the alliances, not everything is shared with each other.

Mike also has to think about the interests of Blizzard.

"Okay, it's totally fine."

Chen Jiayi gave Mike 5 minutes, but Chen Jiayi didn't want Mike to think too long, he also wanted to transmit his thoughts to him first.Otherwise, he would calculate it himself and then discuss it with the company.I'm afraid, when the time comes, the matter of online games will be gone.Of course, Chen Jiayi can also use other methods to take away the monster.However, this is hurtful.If it is possible to win Blizzard's online game adaptation rights under harmonious conditions.So, for Tang Dynasty Network, it is really a big victory for one day.

"Mike, I think Blizzard is an excellent game company. Whether it's StarCraft before, Diablo, or the Frozen Throne of Warcraft. , do better than others. We also hope that there will be more competitive game companies like Blizzard. To be honest, Tangchao Network also wants to enter competitive games, but our biggest foundation is still the Internet Games. Therefore, we each play to our strengths. Blizzard continues to develop competitive games, while Tang Dynasty Network continues to develop online games..."

First of all, Chen Jiayi wants to transfer Mike to the original goal of his company and change Mike's vision.

"You're right."

Mike thought about it.He co-founded Blizzard with Allen to develop competitive strategy games.God bless, looking at it now, Blizzard has achieved a little bit.Especially this Warcraft 3 that cooperates with Tang Dynasty Network, Mike firmly believes that he will bring Blizzard to a new height.

If Blizzard changes its original intention, even if it still continues to develop strategy games.I'm afraid, whether the quality of my game can be guaranteed by then is a problem.After the release of Warcraft 3, what else can Blizzard develop?

In fact, this is exactly the case, and later generations of Blizzard have tasted it in World of Warcraft.All of a sudden, he devoted himself to the online game market, including the follow-up development of World of Warcraft, and the development of the new game Diablo, which is StarCraft OL, was also put on the plan.In contrast, Warcraft 4 has been rumored in the market.But until 2011, Blizzard officials still stated that the plan for Warcraft 4 was not currently on the agenda.Because they are too busy.

"Imagine, if Blizzard invested in the online game market, would it be able to achieve the success it is now?"

It is now 2003, and no one knows that World of Warcraft can gain more than 1000 million online users in the global market.Even Mike, who is very confident in Blizzard's games, can't imagine it.Because, the world's online game market is now dominated by the Chinese.Among them, games in Europe, America, Japan, South Korea and other countries have all been defeated successively.

No matter how strong Blizzard is, can its online games achieve the same number of online players as Misty Journey?The answer is, Mike doesn't know either.Of course, Mike faked it.Even if it is done, so what?An online game can only bring several hundred million yuan to Blizzard, which is far from what Warcraft 3 is.

In such a comparison, this online game takes time on the one hand and does not make much money on the other.

"Chen, I understand what you mean. Okay, I'll think about it."

Mike has been persuaded by Chen Jiayi, but it is impossible for him to agree so quickly.Because, Blizzard is not his own.He still needs to continue to discuss this matter with Alan and the others.

"Okay, no problem at all, I'll wait for your good news."

Seeing this, Chen Jiayi knew that his explanation just now had slightly disrupted Mike's plan.After all, they didn't pay much attention to online games.It was only after making money later that they began to attack aggressively.For them, the most important thing is strategy games.For example, the current Warcraft 3, this is a game that is about to bring Blizzard a take-off.

However, Warcraft 3 is not owned by Blizzard alone, and he still has half of the credit for Tang Dynasty Network.

After the two finished speaking, Chen Jiayi ended the conversation with Mike.

Chen Jiayi is in a good mood now, because even if he can't buy Blizzard Entertainment for the time being.Then, holding all the game adaptation rights under Blizzard in his own hands is almost the same as Jinghe acquiring Blizzard.Moreover, this flipping action basically doesn't cost much.

At that time, World of Warcraft, which will be released in later generations, will no longer belong to Blizzard, but to Tang Dynasty Network.

Well, I will let people around the world see the power of this "game".Yes, the power displayed by this game is not just a money-making machine.Moreover, he can also import Chinese culture to every corner of the world slowly, bit by bit.This is also an important way for Chen Jiayi to spread Chinese culture through games.

……

United States.

Mike and Alan are rarely free today, and they meet to go fishing together on weekends.

"Alan, we haven't been relaxed together for a long time."

Since Allen resigned as the president, the two of them haven't had a very easy time in this period of time.But fortunately, Warcraft 3 is now finally completed.The latter is the matter of sales, which has little to do with "Alan".At this time, Mike had time to come to the river to fish with Alan in such a good mood.

"Yes, it's easy."

This feeling is very good, it feels very comfortable to finish the heavy load, and Allen enjoys this feeling very much.

The two talked and chatted, and they seemed to be enjoying themselves.

"It's a big one."

At this time, after more than ten minutes of waiting, Mike finally caught a big fish.

"Alan, "Chen" talked to me yesterday and wanted to adapt our game into an online game. What do you think?"

Mike, who continued to lower the fishing rod while preparing the bait, said something.

"Online game?"

"Yes, the most proficient in the Tang Dynasty Internet is online games."

Mike wanted to hear what Allen meant, because Blizzard belonged to both of them.

"Well, I feel it too."

When Tang Dynasty Network sent some technical members, Allen knew that these technicians did not have much experience in strategy game development.Fortunately, they have a good foundation, and after the cooperation, they have grown rapidly.Moreover, the Chinese people's creativity is really great.A lot of times, Allen would be amazed by their creativity.

"Didn't you ever think that we can also develop online games?"

At this time, Mike saw that Alan didn't seem to understand, so he reminded him.

"We develop?"

At this time, Allen finally woke up.Then shook his head, "Oh, sorry, I never thought about it."

Indeed, Allen has an amazing talent in strategic warfare.Moreover, he is a technical madman.Otherwise, he wouldn't even want to be the president and just throw it to Mike.Now when Mike talked about online games, to be honest, for Allen, he never thought about it.Even now, he believes that he will not develop online games in the future.Because, like online games, there are no technical and creative game products.If Alan develops it, he might as well kill him.

"Okay, I see what you mean."

Mike smiled wryly, then said no more, and continued fishing with Allen.
