Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

After saying this, Yuan Shouqing seemed to have all his strength drained away, and sat down in his seat.

The office fell silent once again.

I stayed for a few minutes.

Yuan Shouqing simply couldn't bear this oppression.

He said something.

"I'm going to have a cigarette."

He then got up and walked forward.

He had only taken a few steps when his cell phone rang.

Zhang Fan, who was sitting next to him at his workstation, quickly waved.

"Brother Yuan, the phone."

Yuan Shouqing was in no mood to answer the phone at that moment and waved his hand.

He said he'd hang up and continued walking towards the stairs.

"Oh? It was Mr. Lin calling. Should we hang up?"

One sentence from Zhang Fan.

The entire conference room turned to look at him. They stood up like startled groundhogs, staring at the phone in Zhang Fan's hand.

"Ah!!? Mr. Lin!"

As a member of the Spark Developers Alliance, Yuan Shouqing naturally had Lin Li's phone number, but he had never called Lin Li before today.

I haven't received a call from Lin Li either.

It only takes a few steps.

They arrived in front of Zhang Fan.

I took the phone.

He frantically swiped to answer the phone.

"Hello? Mr. Lin?"

Yuan Shouqing believes his voice is normal.

But the tremor in his voice could be felt throughout the office.

Changes to Auto Chess.

Lin Li was also quite surprised.

He had actually been following this studio for a long time.

At the time, there were also plans to recruit them into the Spark Developers Alliance and to invest in them.

However, the giant bird accepted the former but rejected the latter.

The reason is strange.

At the time, Zou Huaide believed that Xinghuo's investment was an attempt to acquire Giant Bird Studio, a small studio, and to steal the idea of ​​Auto Chess.

Although his line of thinking was difficult to understand, Zou Huaide firmly believed that he was right.

As for Lin Li...

For him, the failure of his Auto Chess investment was just one of the many daily occurrences.

He didn't even ask another question.

After all, although Giant Bird Studio rejected Spark's investment, it still logged into the Spark platform and used the editor from "Star River: Exploration".

That's enough for Xinghuo.

In fact, just a few days ago, when Auto Chess became a hit...

Indeed, just as Lin Li had predicted, Auto Chess became an instant hit.

As a result, the Spark platform and Galaxy Paradise Exploration have also benefited from the surge in traffic.

Chapter 253 Intimidation

Many media outlets regard the success of "Auto Chess" as a model of cooperation between Spark and Huaxia Independent Games.

Meanwhile, Spark's support for domestic games has also received widespread praise.

After all, the Spark platform has indeed provided a way for many high-quality games to monetize, and it is under these circumstances that...

Just a few days later, the Giant Bird Duoduo exploded inside.

Even with a favorable start, there's always a chance for a comeback.

This was something Lin Li hadn't anticipated.

Because in his impression.

In their previous life, after Giant Bird Studio handed the game over to Tencent for distribution.

Penguins have done a lot of disgusting things.

On the one hand, they're adding massive pay-to-win elements to the original Auto Chess, driving away veteran players.

On the other hand, they utilize data.

It's almost a 1:1 replica of Teamfight Tactics in League of Legends.

finally.

The popularity of Auto Chess was completely devoured by Tencent, which turned it into "Golden Shovel Battle," making Tencent a huge profit.

From a commercial standpoint, the penguin was a huge success.

This is yet another example of how plagiarism can kill off original content – ​​a Penguin-style success.

However, for Auto Chess, and for the Giant Bird Studio team...

This was, in fact, a complete tragedy.

Despite bearing the title of a pioneer, he ultimately met a tragic end.

Lin Li originally thought that in this timeline, the game would be popular on the Spark platform, so things would be different.

But who could have imagined it?

In this timeline, the giant bird is even more explosive than in its previous life.

The entire company was blown up.

~~~

About an hour later.

Yuan Shouqing hung up the phone.

Then, almost instantly, he rallied.

He held a meeting with his team.

At this time of great calamity.

Yuan Shouqing's team was naturally in turmoil.

But all those fluctuations vanished after that phone call.

Not only did all of Yuan Shouqing's men stay behind.

Some people who had heard rumors even stayed on after joining the company.

That night

Xinghuo issued two announcements before and after.

one.

I find the penguins' behavior shameful.

However, in order to protect the rights of players, Spark stated that it will still communicate with Tencent regarding data transfer.

However, Spark also pointed out that it has not yet received any data inquiries from Tencent.

This announcement is mainly in response to the rumors circulating on the internet that Spark will use data to threaten Tencent. Spark's announcement is also very straightforward: it's not that we don't want to give it to them.

The penguin didn't even bother to ask.

Second.

Xinghuo plans to purchase 30% of Giant Bird Duoduo's shares from Yuan Shouqing.

The details are currently being confirmed, and results will be available soon.

Compared to the first announcement, the second announcement was very short, consisting of only one sentence.

But the impact of this news was actually greater than that of the first one.

This was purchased directly by Spark.

Everyone knows that Giant Bird Studio is now just an empty shell company.

So why did Spark buy shares in Giant Bird Studio?

Many media outlets have speculated about this.

Could this mean that Spark is going to get involved and create an auto chess game to compete with Tencent?

As the saying goes, there must be a monster when something goes wrong.

Nobody believed that Xinghuo would be so foolish as to buy shares in an empty shell company.

~~~

The Spark announcement was released.

Later in the day.

Several top executives from Tencent Games, including Ma Xiao, along with Zou Huaide, held a serious and intensive discussion.

Originally, this meeting didn't need to be at such a high level.

Originally, it was within Tencent's expectations that Yuan Shouqing would sell his shares.

However, these things, along with the name "Lin Li" and the company "Xing Huo," all contribute to the complex situation.

Then we must pay more attention to it.

Penguin Games in recent years.

Even if the business isn't doing well, it still made a lot of money.

But anything can change when it encounters a forest or a spark.

That really sent chills down my spine.

Despite the bold slogans of Tencent Games, in reality, including Ma Xiao, they are somewhat intimidated by Spark.

This is somewhat similar to Ma Huateng's approach to Douyin.

They were desperately trying to suppress it.

On the other hand, they could only watch as TikTok grew bigger and bigger.

Did Xinghuo acquire shares in Giant Bird Studio?

What do you want to do?

What else can they do? They definitely want to use this as a reason to gain a foothold in public opinion and then launch an auto chess game.

This action.

This exceeded Penguin Games' expectations.

before today.

Within Tencent Games, including Ma Xiao, it is generally believed that Spark will not develop auto chess.

why?
