Chapter 307 You Don't Understand Its Horror
Near the end of the year.
The heat of the console war continues.
Although Ren Tiandi has been overtaken in sales, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and its basic market base has not been shaken.
Many people are speculating whether Ren Tiandi will take action since its own blockbuster IP has been completely suppressed.
But after waiting for a long time, there was no response.
It was as if everything had fallen into complete silence.
Only within the prehistoric world .
Noticed the other party's actions.
"I just checked. The games we previously launched on the Nintendo platform have basically been hidden. Unless you search for the name, you can't find it on the homepage or secondary pages."
Inside the office, Old Song frowned as he held a document.
Although he had been abroad on business during this period, he had heard about this matter and encountered this situation as soon as he returned.
"It seems that what Tang Jun said is right. That old guy Furukawa really holds a grudge. In addition, our two countries are not on good terms, so he wants to use this method to disgust us."
Chen Lin paced back and forth , not feeling surprised.
"Then what should we do? Give up the Rentiandi platform?" Old Song said solemnly.
Although the share given by the NS platform is not high, the player base is there, and it almost occupies half of the console market. If they give up, the loss will be considerable for them.
This is also the reason why Ren Tiandi is so confident and not afraid of offending game manufacturers.
Because there is no choice!
Unless they don’t want to be hosts anymore!
"Let me think about it first."
Chen Lin did not answer immediately, but lowered his head to think.
But unexpectedly.
At this time, Lao Li hurried in from outside.
His face was full of anxiety.
"Mr. Chen, the Guangyao Studio at Penguin has just launched a mobile chicken-eating game called "Stimulus Elite", which has taken away hundreds of thousands of online users from our "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds"!"
"Chicken game?"
Chen Lin and Lao Song looked at him when they heard that.
"That's right! Their game is completely copied from ours. It's so shameless!"
Old Li was extremely angry.
I was just about to rush over to argue with the penguin.
If they hadn't been working on "Minecraft" recently and launching the mobile version of "Yu-Gi-Oh!", they wouldn't have been able to get away.
When will the penguin get there first?
"Okay, this is bound to happen sooner or later, and getting angry is useless."
Chen Lin looked calm as usual. He finally sat back in his chair and searched the Internet for relevant information.
Old Song had a serious expression on his face and said, "First it was Ren Tiandi, then it was Penguin. We are really being attacked from both sides now."
This is the first time that two major companies have taken action against them at the same time since the establishment of Honghuang.
You know it without thinking.
They must feel that they have risen too fast recently and are showing signs of losing control, which makes the big companies feel threatened, so they want to suppress them.
In the blink of an eye, they were excluded from the console and mobile game markets. The power of capital is truly terrifying.
Even though they have made sufficient preparations.
Everyone feels a little overwhelmed.
It just happened that they were stuck at a critical juncture when they were expanding overseas markets, building R&D teams, and had little funds left.
"If you ask me, we should just launch a competing product and screw him!" Old Li said indignantly.
"The funds from last quarter haven't been recovered yet, and the overseas box office and console accounts haven't been settled yet. Where do you get so much money to squander?" Old Song rolled his eyes at him.
They now employ more than 700 people, and the monthly labor costs alone cost tens of millions.
Their most profitable single-player game, Red Dead Redemption, currently has sales of 40 million. After deducting the platform's commission and taxes, there is only 10 billion in profit left, which is just enough to expand overseas markets and advertising in several continents.
It will take at least two or three months before these markets begin to gain momentum.
That's when they'll explode!
"Old Song is right."
Chen Lin raised his head and said, "Competition in the industry is like this. There is no such thing as smooth sailing. Let's keep a low profile for the time being and see how things go after Minecraft is launched."
"What about Ren Tiandi?" asked Old Song.
"No."
Chen Lin waved his hand: "Since they don't welcome us, there's no need for us to try to please them. We can just use Suoni's PS and send someone to talk to them. If they want to get involved in this matter, don't blame me for starting with them first."
After saying this, his eyes flickered.
After this period of technical support provided by Juying, their R&D team has basically taken shape and all the equipment has been delivered.
Just waiting for that announcement.
You can start the layout.
When the time comes.
They no longer have to fear these big companies.
No need to look at people's faces anymore.
…
The other side.
With the silence of the great wilderness.
The competition among major manufacturers in the mobile game market is becoming increasingly fierce. Even many small studios that have only been established for less than two years have soared to fame in the industry because of this opportunity.
The rise of these manufacturers, coupled with the coming and going of major manufacturers and the overwhelmed supply of new games, has also caused Honghuang to gradually fade out of everyone's sight.
The only time it became popular was when the mobile game "Yu-Gi-Oh!" was launched, but it was then overshadowed by the frequent launches of new games from big manufacturers.
The point is that it has a short lifespan and costs money quickly.
And the freshness of various old PC games being converted to mobile games.
Some manufacturers even play the emotional card, going for nostalgia, and porting previously unpopular games to mobile phones.
Under the pretext of reliving the original feeling.
Although the way things are done doesn't look very nice, there are still many older people who are willing to buy into it, and the entire mobile game industry is in chaos.
Until one day.
An announcement was issued by Honghuang.
"Minecraft" has been launched on PC and mobile phones, which immediately attracted the attention of players.
“Here it comes, the PC version of Minecraft is finally coming out!”
"Honghuang, you are finally here. Don't you know that there are many mobile games that plagiarize your game online recently?"
"It's too cruel. There are three PUBG mobile games."
“There’s also a game that’s a Minecraft clone.”
"The game 'Mini World' you mean?"
"That game seems to have gained a lot of popularity recently, with three million people online already."
Countless players were waiting there early, discussing various events that had happened recently.
The more we discuss it, the more it seems worthless.
Because they all heard that Honghuang was jointly sanctioned by Penguin and Ren Tiandi, and now its popularity is being divided up by countless manufacturers, which is a blatant plagiarism.
Many people feel that the prehistoric world is not worth it.
You say that such a conscientious manufacturer has such a popular game, but because it does not have too many pay-to-win projects, it has no money to resist the sanctions from big companies.
If such a manufacturer is unable to recover from this.
All of these players are responsible!
"Buy! I have to buy as much as I can this time!"
"Honghuang finally managed to get the previous krypton gold chaos back on track and make manufacturers pay attention to quality. If it goes back to the way it was before, you are all responsible!"
"I really want to know which idiots have been supporting the krypton gold-changing skin mobile games!"
"We will support the genuine version no matter what this time! Do you really think that there is no one on our PC side?"
"If it doesn't work, Honghuang, you can just spend more money to get more skins."
The Honghuang game hasn't even been launched yet, but the style of the comment section has changed.
Everywhere there are topics about how Honghuang was bullied and plagiarized, but people could only remain silent.
Some people are even afraid that Honghuang will go bankrupt, and ask them to open more pay-to-win projects, making the game seem very lively.
However.
When this news reached the top management of the giant company that released "Mini World", it was met with sneers.
"It's too late to go online now."
"In terms of mobile games, Honghuang is still a step behind after all."
Today, their "Mini World" has a maximum number of online users approaching 3 million at the same time, and the number of daily active accounts exceeds 10 million.
Honghuang arrived late at this time and had already missed the opportunity, and all the attention was absorbed by their alternative.
After all, it's still one step behind.
I was screwed by the exclusive contract with Juying.
"We should thank Honghuang for bringing us such a huge amount of traffic."
"If you want to blame someone, blame them for not knowing how to restrain themselves and offending too many people."
Having been in the industry for more than a decade, they have seen too many brilliant people and too many companies that rose overnight, but they were all short-lived.
Only by being tactful can you gain the benefits of all parties.
This is the way to long-term operation.
In their opinion.
The sharpness of Honghuang is too strong!
Otherwise, we wouldn't be in the current situation where everyone is pushing down the wall when it falls.
"I want to see how Honghuang can come back to life this time. Go and talk to the planners to release the new version in advance."
The man said to the assistant beside him.
But the words had just fallen.
An employee came running over from a distance, his face full of panic.
“Director! Something big has happened! The number of online users of Mini World is plummeting, from 3 million to 1.5 million, and is still decreasing!”
"What's going on?!"
The man had a smile on his face.
"Yes...it's Honghuang's "Minecraft". These players all went to play Minecraft!" the employee answered breathlessly.
When I looked up, I found that the director's face had turned completely dark, and his expression was as ugly as it could be.
Less than an hour.
The number of players online dropped by half!
Even though he had seen all kinds of things, he was still shocked and stood still, unable to believe it.
"Quick! Take me to see it!"
After saying that, he hurried to the data department.
As soon as I arrived, I was told that the number of people online had fallen below one million, with only more than 800,000 left.
A moment.
The man's blood boiled.
I almost passed out.
There was only one thought in my mind.
This is impossible!
final.
He suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice: "Check! Check the real-time sales of the game Honghuang!"
"Okay, I'll check it out right away!"
Seeing his eyes that seemed to be about to spit fire, the employees were startled and immediately picked up the phone to contact their internal connections on various platforms to inquire about the news.
After a while.
One of them counted all the data and stood up in shock.
"Two million! Two million copies were sold across all platforms in the first hour!"
puff!
The man almost vomited blood.
Isn't this the reduction in online players?
They all went to play the game Honghuang!
Not to mention the other employees nearby, who were already so shocked that they were speechless.
2 million sales in one hour!
What is the concept of this?
Even those games with a revenue of 50 million only earned 3 million to 5 million on the first day.
But Honghuang's "Minecraft" achieved the sales of those phenomenal blockbusters in half a day in just one hour!
Is this game a monster!?
Everyone was shocked and felt their arms trembling and their mouths shaking.
This level of sales.
It has completely exceeded their comprehension.
It even subverted their understanding of the game.
But one thing is certain.
An epic masterpiece that overlooks all living beings and has epoch-making significance has been born!
Bang--
The man's legs went limp, his arms resting on the desk beside him, his face turning pale.
What he just said became a complete joke.
And at this time.
All major manufacturers competing in the mobile game market are also shocked by the popularity of "Minecraft".
It’s not like they also checked the real-time .
Instead, it was a message released by Honghuang the next day.
[Honghuang Studio (official): As long as there are players supporting us, Honghuang will not fall! As of 24 hours after the game was launched, the sales of "Minecraft" have successfully exceeded 10 million! Thank you for your support! Witness this historic moment with us! ]
