There used to be a yoo Internet social software company in Japan.
I have long forgotten the name of their boss, Zhu Youxing. They once boasted that Haikou would devote themselves to game development, and acquired many game companies with great wealth, as if they would become a world-renowned game company.
It's just that the value of the company itself was inflated, and it burst immediately under the Internet bubble. The entire company collapsed instantly. Coupled with the secret fueling of the Japanese chaebol, Yoo, a newly rising star, collapsed like this.
Lost.
The game development department that Mickford later created is somewhat similar, but there are also many differences.
Mickford's game department adopts the traditional independent game development method, rather than acquiring other game companies to strengthen itself.
In terms of independent creativity and own value, they are stronger than yoo's game team.
Zhuyouxing had no interest in Yoo's disbandment, and was eventually eaten up by companies such as Surui Electronics.
But this time, Zhuyouxing made plans to acquire Mickford's gaming department.
The potential of this game department is still very good.
They just lack a good opportunity.
A good opportunity to promote and sell the game.
This Mickford game department is a bit like the scale of Blizzard in its previous life.
It's not as good as Activision Blizzard combined, but it's comparable to Blizzard alone.
It would be great to acquire such a game team and then merge it into the American game department.
"Mickford's game department...their main person in charge is actually OK, but because of the suppression by Mickford's head office above, they missed a lot of development opportunities."
The producer of Infinite World answered seriously.
In his impression, Mickford's game department is indeed pretty good.
The members of the team are all very harmonious, and if they have any development problems, they are willing to communicate with each other and solve them.
It's just that Myron Keys is really not a good person. This guy who combines genius and weird temper is annoying, but also a little admirable.
At least he has made some achievements in the field he specializes in.
The field of chip design and manufacturing has become unique. Even in industries such as smartphones and tablet computers, it has not been completely destroyed despite Facebook's strong financial resources.
Instead, he relies on his high-style attitude to win the favor of many people who pursue style.
However, when it comes to careers that Myron Keys doesn't like, he uses them completely as a tool without any human feelings at all.
"I have met this person in charge, and he has achieved nothing but no faults. This kind of person is not suitable to be a supervisor."
If there is an acquisition, the main person in charge should be removed and replaced with his own people to manage it. Otherwise, problems will arise sooner or later.
"Well, I also have this idea, but Mickford obviously can't find a more suitable head of the game department."
After all, no one wants to be offended.
Game talents with management skills can go to other game companies to obtain the same status and salary.
There is no need to go to Mickford.
Today's game directors are not worthy of their status in terms of management capabilities.
At this time, the producer of Infinite World seemed to realize something. He looked at Zhu Youxing in surprise and asked: "Boss, do you want to...acquire Mickford's game department?"
"I have this idea. The series of games developed by this department are not bad and may have some value."
Good games should be cherished more.
When Zhu Youxing saw that the games developed by Mickford were of good quality, he was immediately reluctant to let these games disappear.
In his previous life, he also had many games that he had regrets about.
The quality of the game was obviously good, but it was not well-received and ultimately was ruthlessly abandoned by capital.
But if you sometimes have some patience with these travel news, you may be able to achieve unexpected benefits.
It's just that these returns are long-term and require enough patience.
Ordinary capital has little patience.
But, I have it myself.
You don’t need to consider the attitude of any capital.
What impressed Zhuyouxing the most was a game that continues to operate.
It's called the Lost City in a Foreign Land.
The setting is very similar to the previous World of Warcraft, and is very similar to the Mysterious Dragon Treasure developed by Brown Entertainment in this world.
However, the overall development route of Dragon Treasure has been a bit confusing recently, with several game versions being launched in succession with poor reviews.
Fortunately, there are no competing products for My Dragon Treasure now, so I can continue to make a lot of money safely.
This exotic lost city has the potential to surpass the Mysterious Dragon Treasure.
There's only one chance left.
A full-platform login, and then use simpler operation design logic to conquer more players.
And it just so happens that Youxing Electronic Entertainment really doesn’t have a continuously operating role-playing game.
Just think of this as filling a gap.
As for Final Fantasy 14, it can be developed slowly, and then two games of the same type can develop and compete together.
Zhuyouxing has obviously planned many subsequent things, and the only thing missing now is the acquisition of Mickford's game department.
There must be some talent here.
The producers of Infinite World carefully watched Zhu Yusei's expression for a long time, and finally confirmed that Zhu Yusei was not joking.
Then he sighed and said: "Mickford's game department is really untimely. Even if their team was established a few years ago and developed to this day, I think it is possible to have more fame."
Zhu Youxing said: "Or if Myron Keys was not so rigid and allowed these games to be released on all platforms, the results may be different."
"Um?"
The expression of the producer of Infinite World changed slightly.
Full platform login?
yes!
He suddenly realized.
Until now, the games of Mickford's game department have been sold on Mickford's own platform.
However, Mickford's own platform is too limited, and there is an upper limit to the market.
But if these games are logged into the Morgan Group's operating system and onto game consoles such as Yuxing Electronic Entertainment and Surui Electronics, the results will probably be completely different.
Zhu Youxing has never been obsessed with exclusive games. He hopes to bring the game to more players.
The platform is just a channel.
If conditions permit, he is willing to make his games available on all platforms.
"Boss, what do you mean, you want Mickford's game to be available on all platforms? Then this...then I'm afraid this is really a fortune."
The producers of Infinite World got a little excited.
He even wished that he could have enough money, then package and acquire Mickford and its IP, and then put all the games on other platforms.
Most of these games are developed in Unreal Engine, and the similarity of the underlying code will make porting the games not that difficult.
In the end, you may make a lot of money.
The God of Games... seems to be the God of Investment as well.
