On the other end of the phone, the young voice left one last sentence and then hung up.
Li Guangsheng's chest filled with anger and he clenched his fists hard.
After a long time.
He slowly put down the phone next to his ear, unclenched his fists, suppressed his anger, and breathed a sigh of relief, trying to calm down.
In fact, the other party is right.
During the rise of Tianhu, Tianhu indeed borrowed a large number of online games of the same type, including after the rise of Linmu Studio, Tianhu also borrowed from them.
After all, the industry situation is like this...there are only so many types of gameplay.
When an excellent game or a new model is successfully accepted by players and everyone can see the commercial value it brings, if you don’t imitate it, others will! If you don’t make money, others will.
!
For example, Linmu Studio added a pass system to "Breakout". Now almost every online game has a similar system, and it has almost become standard.
Why?
It is because of this gameplay that players accept it and are willing to pay, which can bring benefits to game companies.
And Tianhu is also a commercial company!
Draft it?
Isn’t it just to make money?
Could it be that as the majority shareholder, you didn’t get the money you earned?
When Tianhu was so suppressed by Linmu Studio that it couldn't lift its head, who made the move? Who had the attitude of trying to drive away the founder?
I am trying my best to increase my revenue, I am trying my best to stabilize my position, and I am trying my best to satisfy all shareholders and make money. I call TM the best at copying!
I want to change the status quo, if I want to change the situation within the company, you will oppose it and frequently block it!
Then I turned around and was the best at copying!
I have told you everything.
I just deserve it, right?
Li Guangsheng took a deep breath, trying to calm down, but the more he tried to calm down, the angrier he became.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
Reluctance, humiliation mixed with inexplicable anger.
at a certain moment.
It finally broke out completely.
"grass!"
Li Guangsheng stood up suddenly, turned around and put his foot on his chair, then walked forward quickly and kicked the chair.
The sound of banging banging is endless.
Outside Li Guangsheng's office.
The unsuspecting employees were a little surprised when they heard the curses and muffled sounds coming from inside.
And inside the office.
Kicked the chair away again.
Li Guangsheng stopped, holding his knees and panting.
this moment.
He really can't calm down!
Once again, he thought of what his friend Mou Feng said when he parted ways.
"If you want to expand the company, I have no objection, but whoever gives you more money will do it! I think you are crazy! They are in the insurance business! Forget about games, if you make less money, you may be
Kick him out and take care of yourself."
At that time, he had just had a big quarrel with Mou Feng due to differences, and this was what Mou Feng came to say to him when he was about to leave.
At the time, he didn't think so.
And as Tianhu grew larger and larger, even relying on the insurance company to directly acquire eBay, the largest competitor at the time, he even felt that Mou Feng was wrong for a time.
But now it seems.
hehe……
Li Guangsheng let go of his knees and struggled to sit on the ground. Then he looked up at the ceiling, and a feeling of weakness came to his heart.
Although he never wanted to admit it.
But actually.
He did regret it.
In the original MOBA project, Kexi Entertainment Pengci Linmu Studio instructed the motion capture actors to strike out and took the producers to court, which directly led to Tianhu's unrelated MOBA project being boycotted by players and heading towards failure.
He regretted it.
I wonder if there are no them.
Tianhu will be better...
And this emotion is now flooding into my heart again.
Then.
He was suddenly in a trance.
How on earth did you get to this point?
What was the original purpose of me and Mou Feng when they founded Tianhu? It seems that they played a very good game and thought they could create such a game, right?
Although Tianhu's first game was an imitation, many players praised it.
He also said that the future is promising.
Why, in the end, it became... I was thinking about how to satisfy shareholders every day, and then I had to worry about being kicked out of the company?
Why?
"..."
Li Guangsheng slowly looked away from the ceiling and looked at the floor in front of him for a while.
He stood up and his expression became calm.
He dusted off his butt, straightened his suit, then returned to his desk, picked up his cell phone again, and made a call.
The phone rang several times.
Was quickly connected.
"Fuck! You still dare to call me? You idiot! You're trying to make a fool of yourself! Do you think the switch from Linmu Studio was really successful? Let's not talk about anything else. You Tianhu tm can do it!
A "Legend of Zelda" game is coming out? Idiot!"
As soon as the call is connected.
Mou Feng's voice came out, and he burst into laughter.
Li Guangsheng was stunned.
Mou Feng doesn't care about him.
Directly on the VIP spray position, continue spraying:
"It's your turn to get involved in the console war at this time! Li Guangsheng! Now do you know that because of the switch, other major console manufacturers are about to start fighting for users? You still have to go to China where Linmu Studio is booming.
Conflict with their host?
If their consoles are really that easy to deal with, do you think the three major console manufacturers will watch Linmu Studio kill them? Can Peria watch its own handheld brand market share being squeezed? Wake up! Linmu Studio
Since the launch of the console, we have been very well prepared and have a very clear purpose. We have been making the console develop in one direction, as if we knew in advance which path the console would ultimately take.
This, combined with their first-party production capabilities, cannot be compared to making the "handheld" perform better or stuffing some online games into it!
Didn’t you see the video where they announced the game lineup for the second half of the year? It’s not just for the PC platform! It’s also for the switch! Don’t you understand this? Their consoles may have bigger surprises next. At this time, you guys
Are you over-preparing to go touch porcelain?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "...Do you mean the game?"
Li Guangsheng was not angry when he heard Mou Feng's words, but suddenly asked.
"Not necessarily! Haven't you seen the "labo" they launched some time ago? This is a signal, maybe a foreshadowing. Combined with the "1-2switch" and "ARMS" they released with the console, I suspect it will subvert players' understanding of the game.
A new game concept! Just like "Labo", I had a hunch when I saw "Labo" that they would continue on this road."
"But someone just told me that a gadget like "LABO" is not worth mentioning. The final sales volume was less than 2 million. To put it bluntly, it was just a piece of cardboard. No matter how much effort Linmu Studio puts in this aspect, it will be in vain.
"
"Which idiot is this?"
When Mou Feng heard this, he directly asked: "Do you really think that sales can represent everything? Now most of the employees in my studio, when they mention Linmu Studio, they have a look of admiration and yearning! Do you think this is their game?
Is it possible to achieve high sales? Then Gibber Company’s new year product FPS has very high sales every year. Do you think anyone will mention Gibber Company with admiration and yearning for it? And you didn’t hear what I just said, right? Maybe it’s foreshadowing.
!There will be even bigger surprises to come!
It’s still a gadget... If you announce the console now, it’s very likely that you will use your face to catch the missile!”
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Li Guangsheng suddenly burst out laughing when he heard Mou Feng's last words.
And he laughed louder and louder.
"..."
When Mou Feng heard the laughter, he was stunned: "Are you crazy?"
"Hahaha... use your face to catch the missile, I like this metaphor."
Li Guangsheng barely stopped laughing: "I don't doubt it either. After all, Tianhu really failed miserably against them..."
"What's the meaning?"
Mou Feng became more and more confused.
"come back."
Li Guangsheng did not answer his question, but suddenly said: "You want money! You want people! I will give them all to you! At the same time, I will give you complete freedom! I will block all doubts for you! Help me once! Just help me once! I want to
...Kick them off."
Mou Feng: "..."
…
Mou Feng has a very clear judgment on the console market and even Linmu Studio.
But Kexi Entertainment...really doesn't.
Mid September.
A console code-named PCZ suddenly started to be announced in a way that matched the switch, and suddenly appeared in the eyes of most players...
When players saw this news, their first thought was confusion, and they even thought that Linmu Studio had launched a new model.
It took a while before I reacted.
This is a handheld brand launched by another domestic company...
And the vast majority of players, after watching the promotional video for the console called PCZ, did not react as much as when they saw the Game player.
Because Game Player is behind Gibbs and Dreamland, so what kind of idiot is Kexi Entertainment?
Many players of this company still remember how they sued the producers and asked the motion capture actors to stop acting. It was really disgusting.
If a company like this launches a handheld console, it will only be successful if it is favored by players.
So very quickly.
The player circle began to criticize him verbally.
The current game lineup is all online games, and the cakes they draw are all imitating Linmu Studio, which is a malicious attempt.
In short.
The vast majority of players have shown a distaste for this console.
But soon.
The players' crusade has not yet had time to take shape.
Suddenly, a large number of users appeared out of nowhere and flooded into major mainstream game communities.
Let’s go straight to praising Kesi Entertainment’s PCZ.
There are endless arguments that the Switch is garbage and the PCZ is the best handheld console.
Moreover, the issue of the weak performance of the switch has been brought up again, with various posts saying that Linmu Studio does not want to make progress.
The form suddenly changed.
The original voice of crusade against PCZ was no longer heard, but Linmu Studio suddenly became the sinner.
Ordinary players are confused at first.
Then react.
This is the navy.
moment.
The players' resentment broke out.
This is how games are played, right?
Therefore, major game communities have directly become battlefields...
The players were angry, spoke up for the switch, and started a battle with the trolls.
But at the same time.
This has also made PCZ's popularity begin to rise... Domestic players have basically heard of this console even if they don't pay attention to it.
Even because of scolding.
The word PCZ was once on the hot list of social media.
Some players noticed something was wrong.
They want to stop and stop everyone from discussing PCZ. This is the best response.
But the players are already on board...
"see it?"
Tianhu Company.
Li Guangsheng received the call again. The frivolous young voice on the other end of the phone was a little showy and said proudly: "This is called marketing! First, leave a deep enough impression in the minds of the players, and then bind it deeply to the industry's number one.
At the same time, in the future, the more successful the number one in the industry will be, the more benefits will be gained by the number two in the industry bound to it!
And then, all you need to do is apologize, send a casual message, admit your negligence... everything will be calm, but our handheld console has left the deepest impression on everyone."
"I saw it."
Li Guangsheng was silent for a moment, twitched the corner of his mouth, and replied.
…
the next day.
September 17th.
Two weeks after the release of "Kirby".
In the gaming circle, Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared.
Cheng Yaojin is frowned upon by all players, and most of the mainstream game communities are restless.
Moreover, this situation seems to be getting worse and worse.
Many players are not fools and have realized the purpose of Kesi Entertainment. Now the name PCZ has become well known to everyone.
Kexi Entertainment, a company with a very bad reputation, seems to be succeeding in its strategy...
"Oh, black and red are also red..."
Kang Yi, the producer who was sued by Kexi Entertainment in the past, felt a little emotional when he saw the dispute between Linmu Studio Switch and Kexi Entertainment PCZ.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He is about to graduate... and has begun preparing to submit his resume to Linmu Studio.
But he didn't expect that when he graduated, these two game companies that left a deep impression on him would appear in front of him again in this form...
Tell the truth.
He was really speechless.
It was an eye-opener at the same time.
It turns out that the console can still play like this! Instead of trying to satisfy the players first, it disgusts the players first... It's outrageous.
The most fortunate thing for Kang Yi now is that he gave up his high salary and left Kexi Entertainment. Otherwise, this would... probably be even more uncomfortable.
Really crazy!
but.
Although Kang Yi also discovered Kexi Entertainment's black and red strategy, he didn't think Kexi Entertainment's strategy would be successful this time, because to put it bluntly, Kexi Entertainment, a game company, doesn't understand the console market at all!
Understand the business logic of consoles, a purely entertainment product!
They are using the logic of physical assets to build a host.
Some players may be worried about such a console, but he is really not worried at all, he just feels a little uncomfortable.
Because Linmu Studio will never lose to such garbage. As a domestic game company, Linmu Studio knows very well what a console is.
"Forget it, if you have this time, you might as well play multiple games..."
Kang Yi looked at the forum again, looked at the debate on it, shook his head with some boredom, and closed the webpage directly.
He picked up the switch console on the table.
Ding dong~
What a coincidence.
He just picked up the console.
The host made a crisp prompt sound.
[The release date of "Ring Fit Adventure" has been announced~]
The small window stayed at the top of the switch screen for a few seconds and then disappeared.
Of course Kang Yi saw it.
He immediately showed an expression of ecstasy and clicked on the game news section.
really.
Linmu Studio has released a new promotional video!
New promotional video for the new game!
"That's right! It turns out that Linmu Studio understands players best! What's the point of fighting? Just make a game!"
Kang Yi, who had just finished "Kirby", saw the new promotional video hanging at the top of the news section and clicked on it with excitement.
Page jump.
Video playback.
Then.
Kang Yi was stunned.
Because what appears on the screen is not a game screen, but a cozy cabin.
And the most important thing is that the protagonist of this promotional video turns out to be... Lin Yao!
In the promotional video.
In a clean and bright room.
Facing the light, the girl stood in front of the window, straightened her waist, gathered her long, silky hair, and then tied her hair into a neat high ponytail.
then.
She turned around, moved her body a little as usual, and then picked up something like a strap from the sofa nearby.
The girl sat on the sofa, inserted a switch joy-con handle into the strap, and then tied the strap to her plump thighs.
After getting everything done.
She stood up, jumped slightly, and after making sure that the leg ring would not loosen, she took out another ring from the side.
With a serious look on her pretty and round oval face, the girl inserted another joy-con handle into the fitness ring.
then.
She came to the screen, held the fitness ring with both hands, played with it a little, then held both sides of the fitness ring and made a stretching movement forward.
The girl's graceful body is clearly visible.
Then the camera moves slowly.
He gave it to the girl.
A cartoon character wearing sportswear and also wearing a high ponytail raised a similar ring and followed her in the same action.
[Fitness Ring Adventure, October 15th]
Then.
The video ends.
The entire promotional video.
Exactly thirty seconds.
very short.
Very short.
But Kang Yi remained motionless and stared at the screen the whole time, waiting for a cartoon character to appear next to Lin Yao.
His eyes immediately widened, and he instantly understood what this game was all about.
I just yelled "Fuck".
…
at the same time.
"Hahahahaha!!"
Li Guangsheng was sitting in the office and saw the promotional video of the fitness ring for the first time.
He was confused at first.
But the second time he watched it, he started laughing wildly while watching it.
really.
The real face received the missile! The boss of Linmu Studio personally launched the missile!
