They promised to promote history, but what the hell is this Three Kingdoms Kill game?!

Chapter 81 The Shock of the New Platform! (Please read on, please vote with monthly tickets!)

Just as Lin Lang thought, Wang Lin wanted to regain his face at the [Game Awards]!

After all, Tencent is one of the organizers of this event, so it's not easy for them to do anything underhanded.

Therefore, this "Best Creative Award" is just the beginning, not the end.

"Alright everyone! The next award we'll be presenting is the Best Art Award!"

Let's take a look at the games nominated this time!

After the host finished announcing the results, the games "Hero Kill" and "Three Kingdoms Kill" once again appeared on the list, and the promotional CGs for both games were played again.

The result was obvious: Hero Kill once again beat Three Kingdoms Kill and won the award.

But Wang Lin's revenge was not over yet!

This year's Game Awards isn't just hosted by Tencent; we definitely need to give other platform manufacturers some face as well.

Therefore, some awards are predetermined, but Wang Lin did so to retaliate against Lin Lang.

"Three Kingdoms Kill" has been nominated for every award, but it has always been a runner-up!

This has also sparked a lot of discussion among game developers, who have started whispering among themselves.

"I told you, going against Tencent won't end well!"

"Actually, the game 'Three Kingdoms Kill' is pretty good. I have a rumor that Tencent approached Langyu Studio to acquire it, but they didn't agree, so 'Hero Kill' was born!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down so no one hears. Everyone knows this, but who dares to say it out loud!"

"Sigh! Small manufacturers like us can only follow in others' footsteps and get a little scrap of soup."

"To be honest, launching our game on the [PLG] platform was a bit of a loss. They took 6% of the revenue right away! It left us with very little funding for updates!"

"The PLG platform is considered good, at least it has more players. At the time, I also felt that 64% split was too much, so I chose NetEase's platform with 55% split!"

But what was the result? A pitifully small number of players! The user base didn't even reach 100 million!

"Sigh... There's nothing I can do. Now I just hope Tencent will acquire my game, otherwise I really won't have the money to update it!"

This is also the dilemma faced by many small game developers. Some games don't make money under such revenue sharing, so they can only sell them at a low price to various platforms.

But given the current state of the gaming industry, what can they say?

"President Lin! They're really bullying us! They make us lose every game they play. I think this is some kind of dirty trick by Tencent! We shouldn't have come!"

After countless nominations and numerous near misses, coupled with the spectator-like attitude of many game companies, Shen Qi was starting to get restless.

When has Langyu Studio ever suffered such humiliation!

Wang Lin really made Langyu Studio suffer a big loss today!

"These awards are all fake; they're all decided by their own people. Our only goal is to win the 'Most Popular Game' award!"

This is the result of genuine player votes; everything else is completely unimportant!

This is also why Lin Lang came to participate in the competition. He has only one goal: to win the title of "Most Popular Gamer"!

When Lin Lang saw Wang Lin making "Three Kingdoms Kill" a losing streak, how could he not be emotional at all?

But he knew that these were secondary; as long as he could win the title of "Most Popular Gamer" and represent the Greater China region at the US's annual game awards ceremony, that would be enough!

He still has confidence in "Three Kingdoms Kill"!

The host once again stood in the center of the stage, holding a microphone, his voice loud and clear.

"Next, we'll present the last award of the day, the Newcomer Improvement Award. We hope these newcomers will continue their efforts!"

Let's take a look at which games have been nominated!

The screen showed CG from the game "Three Kingdoms Kill" again, as well as many games created by small studios.

The purpose of this award is to encourage newcomers; you could say it's a consolation prize.

After several game CGs finished playing, the screen finally froze on "Three Kingdoms Kill"!

"Please welcome Lin Lang from Langyu Studio to the stage to accept the award!"

At this moment, Lin Lang and Shen Qi were whispering to each other backstage, neither of them expecting to win an award.

The moment you see the award.

Sure enough, this was the big gift Wang Lin had prepared for them, letting them compete with a group of newcomers for a consolation prize!

"President Lin! Let me go..." Shen Qi stopped Lin Lang. She didn't want Lin Lang to be played like this, as it was a disgrace to their company.

Lin Lang smiled and waved his hand, "It's nothing. I was just wondering how to promote the new platform. I have to thank Wang Lin for giving me this opportunity!"

Without further hesitation, Lin Lang strode towards the awards stage amidst the spectators' expectant gazes.

As he passed the first row, Wang Lin deliberately raised his applause and jokingly said, "Congratulations, Mr. Lin, today's trip was worthwhile, hahaha!"

Lin Lang returned his smile, wondering if he would be able to smile again in a moment.

Lin Lang accepted the trophy from the host and stood in the center of the stage.

"Thank you for this event that gave me the opportunity to receive this Rookie Progress Award." Actually, I've always considered myself a newcomer in this gaming industry.

Only in this way can we maintain our love and passion for games, create innovative gameplay, and create better games. Thank you everyone!

Lin Lang held up the trophy. Compared to the other award trophies, this newcomer award trophy was very small, only the size of a palm.

The audience applauded Lin Lang's sincerity!

Yes!

They are all newcomers in this gaming industry. Only by maintaining their initial passion for games can they persevere in this field and create better games!

Just as the host was about to bid farewell to Lin Lang as he left the stage, Lin Lang gripped the microphone tightly once again.

"Today, I have something to announce on this stage!"

"Our Langyu Studio is about to launch a brand new gaming platform!"

These words immediately sparked discussion among the audience, as the gaming platform market has now been completely divided up by these major companies.

For a small studio like yours on Langyu Island to try and snatch a piece of meat from their mouths is an incredibly difficult task!

The platform vendors present also felt that this was an impossible task.

But then Lin Lang's words hit them like a ton of bricks!

"Our [LYG] platform and developers adopt a 70/30 revenue split! Developers get 70%, and the [LYG] platform gets 30%!"

"Furthermore, for the first two years, the platform didn't take a cut of any developers' revenue; only afterwards did it adopt a revenue-sharing model!"

Our goal is to free developers from exploitation and allow players to experience the true charm of games!

"Furthermore, our new version of the 'Three Kingdoms Kill' game will be officially released on the [LYG] platform!"

This statement shocked all game developers who relied on other platforms!

"Holy crap! What kind of revenue split is this?! The developers get 7%! They only get 3%! Has the sun risen in the west?! I can't even imagine this!"

"The important thing is that it won't be free for the first two years! You know, I had a game that had to be taken down because I didn't have enough money to update it! If this were true, it could save so many games!"

"If what Langyu Studio said is true, then that's fantastic news! Finally, we won't have to deal with their platform's blatant disrespect anymore!"

"But... is it really possible to have that many players...?"

'

"Why do you care so much? You know, the number of users of the game 'Three Kingdoms Kill' is not small. If they all came, it would be quite a lot!"

Even if we still can't compare to PLG, this revenue-sharing model is still worthwhile! Do you really want to be exploited by them forever?!

"That makes sense!"

I don't know who started clapping, but in an instant, the applause in the hall was deafening!

"Langyu Studio is awesome! [LYG] is awesome!"

At this moment, the major manufacturers finally felt a sense of threat, and Wang Lin's face was no longer smiling as before; his eyes narrowed into slits.
