Because of "StarCraft: Ghost", the two parties have differences. On this issue, neither party is wrong. One is for the quality of the game, the other is for the financial situation. Everyone has their own reasons. If the game is not good, it will not be sold.

Good sales will damage the company's brand. But if the company has no money, it will naturally not have the funds to develop games.

In game development, whether to focus on game quality or cost is like which comes first, the chicken or the egg.

At present, due to the tough attitude of Alan Adhan and others, Vivendi's request has been temporarily rejected, but Vivendi's financial crisis is obvious to all. Originally, Blizzard expected to use "World of Warcraft" to alleviate its mother's problems.

The company was in financial crisis, but Lin Feng stepped in at this time, which changed things a lot.

No matter how good "World of Warcraft" is, now that Lin Feng is here, Alan Adham and others have no confidence. Once Lin Feng really launches a sniper attack on "World of Warcraft", it will be difficult to say. This matter can be

That's a big deal. With Lin Feng's current appeal and strength in the online game market, other companies are hard to match. Of course, what Alan Adhan fears most is Lin Feng taking the roughest and most barbaric measures, such as

Make trouble in the game to destroy everyone's enthusiasm for playing "World of Warcraft".

Once Lin Feng really spends a lot of money to destroy the game, it will be a disaster for "World of Warcraft". And judging from Alan Adhan's understanding of Lin Feng, Lin Feng can definitely do it.

Nip threats in the bud - this is what every successful person respects.

So Alan Adhan has concerns, not to mention that he really wants to change investors now so that Blizzard will not be dragged down by Vivendi. You must know that Vivendi's financial statement losses are as high as 34 billion US dollars. In order to fill this hole,

It has begun to sell and close those bad businesses, including the gaming industry, and Vivendi will deal with them as appropriate. Blizzard is the most important bargaining chip in Vivendi's hands. Alan Adhan is worried that if Vivendi cannot solve the problem

Due to financial crisis, Blizzard may be sold one day.

Just because Vivendi can tolerate some of Blizzard's "bad habits" does not mean that other investors will tolerate it. At that time, if you encounter a wealthy but impatient acquirer, it will really be a disaster. Instead of just waiting for death,

It is better to make a living on his own. Lin Feng is a potential investor that Alan Adhan is optimistic about. But Alan Adhan has been observing, and he wants to make sure that Lin Feng will not be interested in Blizzard because of financial problems or other issues.

The work attitude puts pressure on them and forces them to release immature works.

"Mr. Lin, are you really sure? You know, I just invested tens of millions of dollars in another game, but we terminated its development because we were not satisfied. Are you sure you can really accept such a thing?" Allen

-Adhan asked again.

Lin Feng laughed when he heard this.

"Mr. Adhan, I just want to say one thing about this issue. Do you think I am a person who is short of money? Don't talk about tens of millions of investment being scrapped, it is hundreds of millions of dollars of investment. As long as the game is not perfect, don't say you

If it is not allowed to go on the market, I will not allow it! I share the same philosophy as your company, that is, the games produced must be high-quality!" Lin Feng said proudly.

When Alan Adhan heard this, he smiled helplessly with relief. This is the advantage of the rich. With Lin Feng's financial resources, the loss of tens of millions of dollars was indeed negligible. However, this also made Alan Adhan

Dehan has a better impression of Lin Feng. Indeed, if the investors behind the company are the world's richest men, then they will also be able to get more time for game development. Of course, accordingly, they will also give Lin Feng more money.

In return. Alan Adham believes that Blizzard has this ability!

Immediately, Alan Adhan asked the second question.

"Mr. Lin, if you really acquire Blizzard, can you give us absolute autonomy in game development?" Alan Adhan asked.

Hearing this, Mike Mowaimi's eyes lit up.

Absolute independent game development rights are what all game studios dream of. However, this conflicts with investors. Investors often ask studios to develop which game based on market conditions, which can lead to disagreements.

. Otherwise, the studio will just disappear. You know, any talented game designer has a rather stubborn personality and will not compromise easily. But needless to say, investors will not be able to do so if they are wealthy.

Will compromise. This is the reason why four senior executives of Blizzard North Studio resigned collectively.

Alan Adhan wanted to know whether Lin Feng would give them this right.

Lin Feng frowned slightly. From Blizzard's perspective in the gaming industry, there would generally be no problems. The games they develop will set off a craze in the gaming industry. But Lin Feng is not exaggerating when he says that before his rebirth,

Historically, Blizzard has not launched any games since the launch of "World of Warcraft" in 2004. This is not because Blizzard is lazy or content with the status quo, but that several of the games it developed have died. As for the reasons for their demise,

In addition to some technical problems, there are also reasons for misjudgment of the game's prospects.

However, Lin Feng has the memory of the next few years and knows which games will be popular in the future gaming industry. There is no reason to watch Blizzard waste time by developing some games that are not their strengths and will obviously fail. What's more, Lin Feng has always been

Looking forward to the early release of "StarCraft 2" and "Diablo 3", this is the expectation of all players.

After thinking about it, Lin Feng decided to take a roundabout way.

"Mr. Adhan, before I tell you the answer, I want to ask you a question." Lin Feng smiled slightly and said with great confidence, "Mr. Adhan, do you think I am successful or unsuccessful in the gaming industry?"

Alan Adhan was slightly startled.

"Success, if Mr. Lin is not considered successful, then there will be no successful person in the gaming industry!" Alan Adhan didn't understand why Lin Feng would ask such a question, and answered instinctively.

"So do you think my judgment on the future of the gaming industry is accurate?" Lin Feng asked again.

Alan Adham already understands what Lin Feng wants to say. But if this is the case, then the two parties may not be able to reach an agreement. Indeed, Lin Feng is very successful, and his judgment of the development trend of the game is also extremely accurate. He himself

It has also promoted the development of online games. But this does not mean that Alan Adhan will accept Lin Feng's intervention in Blizzard. Blizzard has its own set of operating styles and guidelines and will not be restricted by anyone.

Lin Feng saw Alan Adhan's face and knew what he was thinking.

"Mr. Adham, I'm afraid you have a bit of a misunderstanding. I don't want to interfere in any decision-making at Blizzard. I just want the power of a special advisor. I want to know what kind of games Blizzard is planning to develop. As for the rest, everything is up to you.

It doesn’t matter, as long as you can develop a game that players will like!” Lin Feng said with a smile.

Alan Adham did not expect that Lin Feng made this request. If this was the case, then there would be no differences between the two parties.

"Also, Mr. Lin, I have a bold request regarding 'cloud computing'. I hope that 'World of Warcraft' can use 'cloud computing'!" Alan Adhan said eagerly.

Without changing the existing structure of "World of Warcraft", adding "cloud computing" will increase the online load capacity of the server. Of course, there is also the "dynamic ignoring and compensation technology" of "Second World", which will reduce the "dynamic ignoring and compensation technology" of "World of Warcraft".

World of Warcraft’s computer performance requirements.

Lin Feng smiled.

"Of course, in the future, when everyone is in the same company, these will naturally be shared!" Lin Feng said.

Alan Adham and Mike Mowaimi looked at each other and smiled. With this "cloud computing" and "dynamic ignoring and compensation technology", "World of Warcraft" is perfect!

"By the way, after I acquire Blizzard from Vivendi, it will be merged with Blizzard North Studio, and everyone will work together at the 'Light of the Century', the 'Second World' headquarters." Lin Feng said.

Alan Adhan and Mike Wyme were slightly stunned. They did not expect that they would see the day when Blizzard Entertainment and Blizzard North Studio merged. Although both parties are Blizzard, they belong to two separate departments, and they are mutually exclusive.

In the past, they were always dissatisfied with each other and competed with each other, which is why they were in the same department but not working in the same place.

But now because of Lam Feng's acquisition, the two studios have to work in one place, which is really interesting.

"By the way, what should we do with the headquarters of our two studios now?" Alan Adhan has no objections to moving to the "Light of the Century". It is also a pleasure to work in the world's tallest skyscraper.

In particular, I heard that the interior decoration of "Light of the Century" is also quite user-friendly, as if it is not a company, but a leisure center. This makes Alan Adhan quite curious. However, regarding the current headquarters, Alan Adhan

Dehan and Mike Mowaimi were really reluctant to part with each other.

"Haha, of course I have to keep this. As for what it will be used for, I have a plan, but it's not mature yet, so I have to keep it a secret for the time being!" Lin Feng smiled mysteriously.

Alan Adham and Mike Mowaimi looked at each other helplessly. It was really speechless that this was kept secret.

"Alright, Allen, Mike, just prepare to pack up everything and go to Shanghai. I'll go negotiate with Vivendi right away!" Lin Feng's eyes were full of longing for the future.

"World of Warcraft" has been obtained, Blizzard has obtained it, what else is there to be dissatisfied with in life? The biggest rival in the future online game industry will now become a studio under his own company, and the "Second World" will become the real "Second World".
