From the outside, this is just a normal market follow-up by the three game companies after they saw the hot profits brought by the New Wolf Legend selling point cards through online payment.
But few people can see through the undercurrent of capital behind this simple message.
This is a battle between the two industries.
The first is Sohu Pay’s provocation against the payment platform currently owned by Li Jin. It is also a revolt against New Wolf by other domestic online game companies since Legend became popular.
Here, it must be said that due to the butterfly effect, after Li Jin took away Legend in advance, St. Petersburg University actually obtained the agency rights for a popular online game developed by Bangzi Kingdom.
"Miracle"
This online game was once popular in China. In its previous life, Bangzi Kingdom saw the popularity of Legend and developed it in order to fight against Legend.
But now, due to the early popularity of Legend, it was also released ahead of schedule, and is still enthusiastically sought after by a large number of players.
Not only did "Miracle" appear in advance.
Play the masterpiece "Perfect World" in the world of beauty.
It even has an incomparable longevity, which can be said to be one of the miracles that global online games can rival World of Warcraft. "Fantasy Westward Journey" was released ahead of schedule.
The emergence of Li Jin allowed many well-known online game brands in later generations to be born in advance. However, none of these premature children could compete with the legendary domestic online games at their peak.
"Mr. Li, although Legend's online and revenue data have declined, according to current market analysis, we still occupy more than 60% of the entire domestic online game market."
During the video conference, Tang Jun, who was in charge of the overall work of New Wolf, reported to Li Jin.
Li Jin nodded, not surprised by this data.
In the previous life, the decline of Legend was partly due to Shengda’s frenzied methods of amassing money, which led to the explosive expansion of game data.
A treasure hunting PK game was abruptly turned into a krypton gold online game. The business philosophy of money is your father has greatly accelerated the end of the game's life.
However, this was also a helpless move by St. Petersburg University. At that time, St. Petersburg University was faced with the leakage of source code of foreign servers, which led to the proliferation of domestic private servers and the cost of rights protection was too high.
On the other hand, the heroes of other online games have emerged, and the game Legend has indeed reached the end of its version life, so we have to accelerate the squeeze of the last bit of blood from Legend.
But now, with Li Jin's early precautions, the ownership of the entire legend has been taken over. The subsequent development agents are all decided by New Wolf himself, and there is no farce of source code leakage.
"In terms of version content production, you have to speed up the progress. Among the three games, "Miracle", "Wanmei World" and "Fantasy Westward Journey", "Fantasy Westward Journey" is the most competitive."
"But that is a 2D turn-based game, which does not coincide with our target players. You should pay attention to the other two games, especially "Miracle"."
"Also, I heard that cheats have appeared in the world now, right?"
The so-called plug-ins are software written by some programming experts who use code to invade the game client. In online games, the most feared thing is private servers, followed by plug-ins.
Among them, plug-ins are more harmful than private servers.
After all, not everyone has the courage to risk being jailed by a game company to steal source code.
But for plug-ins, anyone with a little technical knowledge has the ability to write them.
