Game enthusiast Wang Chuan unexpectedly arrived in a technologically advanced parallel world.
What? Games are the Ninth Art, no less significant than music or fine arts.
Thus, starting ...
But soon, Wang Chuan noticed another thing.
Previously, at a Sino-foreign exchange exhibition, he joined an industry exchange group created by a producer.
At this time, the producers in this group were discussing Penguin's "Heroic Battle Song".
Of course, there are not many producers from three studios like Penguin, Net Entertainment, and Bali in this group.
At least when Wang Chuan browsed the list of personnel, he could only find a game producer from Wangyu.
Most of the other group members are second- and third-tier manufacturers, or independent game producers who are relatively well-known in the industry.
At this moment, they were having a heated discussion.
"I feel like the popularity of Heroes of War has dropped a lot recently. At least the online discussions aren't as high as they used to be."
"Not only that, there has been some controversy among online players about this game."
"No way, didn't Heroes of War just get a major update recently? And it even participated in this Sino-foreign exchange exhibition, so it must be quite popular!"
"Yeah, yeah, the player ratings are pretty good. Besides, Penguin has a lot of recommendations for this game!"
"Could it be that Penguin's operations planners have gone haywire again? Penguin has had several high-quality games before, but they failed drastically due to operational issues."
"Probably not. Currently, Heroes of War is still in the open beta test phase. The game store hasn't launched yet, so it doesn't involve operational issues."
"It's a shame we don't have complete and intuitive data. But then again, the popularity of Heroes of War is still not as high as League of Legends."
"By the way, isn't Mr. Wang also in the group? I don't know what Mr. Wang thinks. It seems that apart from popping in for a chat that day, he hasn't spoken since then!"
"Boss Wang has a big family and a lot of money, so he's probably very busy. After all, League of Legends just got a major update, and he also made two casual games. He probably doesn't have time to check the group chat right now. Besides, why don't you just @Boss Wang directly?"
"You old bastard, you're such a bad guy! What if Mr. Wang gets into trouble? It would be so embarrassing for me to @ him like this. Someone, drag him out and play Dig for the Rise 100 times."
"Hahaha, you're so cruel. By the way, it seems like you've dealt with Mr. Wang before!"
"No, no, no, are we dealing with each other? My game was clearly crushed by Mr. Wang's game, but I really don't know Mr. Wang, let alone talk to him."
Looking at the group, everyone was chatting happily, and Wang Chuan couldn't help but smile.
Wang Chuan has also paid attention to the situation of "Heroic Battle Song" several times during this period.
All I can say is that the company behind it is Penguin, which is one of the top channels in the industry.
As the old saying goes: despise the enemy strategically and take the enemy seriously tactically.
Wang Chuan kept this in mind.
So, even though "Heroes' Battle Song" is bound to fail, he has been paying attention to it.
Now, seeing that a group of people in the group were chatting happily, he couldn't help but come out and say something.
“If Heroes of War doesn’t undergo major changes, it’s basically doomed.”
As soon as the message was sent, the group became lively.
“???”
“!!!”
"Fuck, this is Mr. Wang, catch him quickly."
"Hey, it's really Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang, do you think "Heroic Battle Song" is going to be a failure?"
"Well, it doesn't mean that Heroes of War is dead, but it means that it no longer poses any threat to League of Legends."
"After all, its core gameplay is completely different from League of Legends. In about two weeks to a month, its decline will be very obvious."
This is not a big secret. After all, with the popularity of "Heroes of War", these things will be studied out by everyone.
Therefore, Wang Chuan did not hide anything, but told the truth directly.
Of course, these are relatively superficial things, and he will not reveal the more detailed core content.
Even if these things were made public, they would not pose any threat to League of Legends.
But the other party is not his subordinate, so why should he go to the trouble of explaining to others?
However, even so, the producers in the group were still shocked.
The core gameplay content of "Heroes of War" is completely opposite to the core content of "League of Legends".
What's going on? Is this the first time I've heard of this?
Besides, don’t both games simplify the learning cost of the games?
It’s just that “Heroes of War” is more extreme than “League of Legends”.
How come the core of the content is completely opposite?
It can be said that all the game producers in the group were stunned at this moment.
Although there is still a producer @Wang Chuan, I hope he can say a few more words.
But at this time, Wang Chuan had already turned off his phone.
Only a bunch of confused producers were left, still discussing what Wang Chuan had just said.
On the other side, somewhere in an office of Penguin Games.
Lin Yao, Lu Hui, and Tian Boxun all looked very solemn at this moment.
Because they found that the data of "Heroic War Song" had declined again.
Through previous version updates, participation in Chinese and foreign exchange exhibitions, and the launch of a series of activities.
They finally managed to restore the daily activeness of "Heroes of War" and some related data, which increased slightly.
But the good times didn't last long, with the new version update of "League of Legends".
The relevant data of "Heroes' War Song" has declined again, and the degree of decline this time is much more serious than before.
And what a coincidence.
This time, it was not only noticed by the game makers, but even some ordinary players with keen perception had a clear understanding of it.
Therefore, many players are discussing this in the game forum.
"I suddenly feel like not many people are playing Heroes of War anymore. Matchmaking used to be done in seconds, but now it takes dozens of seconds."
"Yeah, the friends I used to play with haven't been online for a long time."
"The difference in strength between the people I've been matched with recently is quite large. I'm either getting crushed by the opponent or I'm crushing the opponent."
"That's nothing, the main thing is that it's boring. It doesn't have the same feeling as when I first played it. Forget it, I'd better go back to playing League of Legends."
"Also, the new hero in League of Legends, Yasuo, is really interesting. He can E-move around the minions very flexibly."
PS: It will be a little later.
