Chapter 170 Debate

In the end.

Because of Tianhu.

This time, Lin Yao selected more than half of the games to participate in the Greenlight program... More than

half of the developers directly said that they would not participate, especially those production teams that wanted to test the waters because their games were about to be released.

Originally, they just wanted to test the waters.

But the game platform on Tianhu can directly help them release the game, and they can clearly know the source of traffic.

However, Linmu Studio still has to participate in the selection. According to Linmu Studio, whether it can be selected for release depends on the number of votes.

This uncertainty has made many production teams give up.

Lin Yao has no choice.

Who knows that Tianhu will appear in the middle of the process? Mu Wanqing can only wish those producers who don’t come to participate well.

As for holding grudges or getting angry, there is no need.

This is human nature, and Lin Yao can still understand it.

Besides.

Although more than half of the games gave up participating in the Greenlight program, half of them are willing to participate. I don’t know the specific reasons for these people.

They didn’t call to say they would not participate, but directly sent the promotional materials.

Lin Yao had nothing to say about this. As long as the promotional materials of the game were sent to her, she would carefully check them.

However, this time, the dispute over the game platform did become a big deal because of the massive publicity from Tianhu.

Many players knew about Lin Yao's Greenlight plan and the upcoming game platform, and Tianhu's game platform also appeared in the players' sight according to the exposure of some insiders.

While the players were eating melons,

they were also puzzled as to why both parties launched the game platform at the same time.

Tianhu was fine, and many players saw that they wanted to integrate the many users in the communication software.

But what was Linmu Studio for? Because of the previous two online games, basically everyone who played the game knew about Linmu Studio.

Many players couldn't figure out why they made the game platform and promoted the Greenlight plan.

They were not big in scale.

Why did they go to such a trouble to build a platform and promote the Greenlight plan?

What made the players even more puzzled was that Tianhu targeted Linmu Studio.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the most important purpose of the Fox platform is to integrate the traffic of its various games and communication software, break through the account barriers, and then divert traffic from the communication software to increase the number of game users for its online games.

However, the players diverted by the communication software are all casual players. It is no problem to let these players play online games, but it takes a lot of effort to let them spend money to play independent games.

After all, these are casual players, and it is difficult to let them play the online games under Fox.

Free games were first developed by Linmu Studio. "Fantasy OL" and "Breakout" are two examples, but because Linmu Studio never discloses financial reports to the public.

Many online game companies, including Fox, are still very cautious about free games, and many of its games are still point cards.

Now Fox has announced that it welcomes major independent games and stand-alone games to be released on its own platform... and is willing to provide discounts and support.

This is completely against the trend.

It is estimated that it will cost a lot to really achieve the discounts and support they offer.

But it is not worth it at all.

Then there is only one possibility left.

Fox... is targeting Linmu Studio.

And when some independent game makers revealed that they wanted to release their games on Tianhu's platform, they had to sign a simple exclusive agreement first, which meant that they could not participate in Linmu Studio's Greenlight program.

The players were instantly shocked.

"Damn, Tianhu is the boss, right? Is this targeting a small studio?"

"The small studio you mentioned, two games beat Tianhu, and it was praised for hosting competitions..."

"That's not the case, right?"

"Indeed... Unless Tianhu smelled something, Linmu Studio wanted to do something other than a game platform."

"If it's not a game platform, what is it?"

After discussing it, the players were still puzzled.

Mou Feng was also puzzled.

He took a quick look at the news disclosed by Tianhu and Linmu Studio, and then called Tianhu boss Li Guangsheng.

"What are you doing?"

As soon as the call was connected, he asked a question.

Li Guangsheng was silent for a moment, then asked, "What for?"

"Regarding Linmu Studio, my original suggestion was that you integrate the traffic of the communication platform. It's true that it's a good idea to build a game platform and have its project teams break down the account barriers."

Mou Feng said seriously, "But why are you staring at those independent games and stand-alone games? Do you really think your platform can be used as a distribution channel for stand-alone and independent games? Do you really think the Tianhu platform can be successful?

Tianhu's game platform should be for your online games! You know best whether the users of Tianhu's communication software will play stand-alone games! What's the benefit of you painting a rosy picture for those independent game and stand-alone game makers!?"

"Then the game platform of Linmu Studio can be successful?" Li Guangsheng asked.

"I don't know, but according to the disclosed information, their Greenlight program requires developers to produce promotional materials first and let players vote. They did not make any promises, but just used the traffic of their own games to give independent game and stand-alone game developers an opportunity, so that developers can roughly predict the popularity of their games based on the number of votes, and then give them some support to let them make the games.

I can't say whether this method is good or not, but at least it is responsible to the developers of independent games and stand-alone games, but what about you? Can you really help sell their games by attracting them with the traffic of communication software?"

"Why not?" Li Guangsheng continued to ask.

"Stupid!"

"Yes! I'm stupid! Then how do you think I made Tianhu the number one in China?"

Li Guangsheng got angry immediately when he heard this word: "It's because I don't let my competitors grow! Don't I know that Tianhu's game platform users are not interested in independent games? I know! But even if I know, I have to find a way to curb Linmu Studio! Because just last year! The two most popular games came from their studio! The competitions of "Breakout" have blossomed more and more after the new year. Every time the name of their studio appears, the board of directors will quarrel. Now Tianhu and the insurance side are getting more and more separated. If Linmu Studio is allowed to develop, Tianhu will not only lose in the game field! The company will be split into two!"

Mou Feng said bluntly: "That's your own fault. You pushed this studio out with your own hands. I heard from Chen Qi, the project leader of "Tianhu Travels", that he strongly opposed it at the beginning, but at that time, Tianhu was not shaken at all! Besides, you don't really think that suppression is useful?"

"Who knew at that time! As for whether suppression is useful, I don't need you to teach me! I know it myself! I have a strong hunch this time that Linmu Studio is not just a game platform that launches its own games. No matter what, I will not let them succeed! If their games are innovative, it's fine. Tianhu can't do anything to them, but now the idea of ​​building a platform has collided, Tianhu will definitely win in the end, it's that simple!"

"It would be great if you had the final say."

Mou Feng sighed and murmured, "It would be great if the other party would fail because of your suppression."

Li Guangsheng said angrily, "Stupid!"

"..."

...

Mou Feng and Li Guangsheng, two good friends who parted ways because of different ideas, parted ways unhappily again.

Li Guangsheng was for Tianhu, and his idea was simple.

And Mou Feng was a bit idealistic.

It's not surprising that the two actually parted ways.

Of course.

Lin Yao didn't know these for the time being.

Although Tianhu also made a game platform, and it made her uncomfortable to openly target Linmu Studio.

But Lin Yao's idea was very simple. You can't expect everything to go smoothly, nor can you expect your opponent to let you go or despise you.

It's uncomfortable to be targeted.

Then comfort yourself and treat it as exercise.

Do what you should do as usual.

Inside the studio, game platforms and new games are steadily produced.

More than half of the games in the Greenlight plan are missing, but there are still some.

Then take the remaining games seriously.

In short.

Do your own thing well.

At least that's what Lin Yao thinks.

And maybe it's because of the boss.

Although Tianhu targeted, Linmu Studio as a whole was calm. The staff were busy with their own things. Occasionally, they would talk about being targeted in casual chats, but most of them were said in a joking tone, and there was no atmosphere of facing a great enemy.

And after Lin Yao confirmed the development progress of the game and platform as usual, he walked out of the studio and went to the motherboard factory under Linmu Financial Holdings.

Zhang Jianghu was nervous because the president of his mortal rival AIB went to visit Linmu Studio a few years ago. He promised to provide the motherboard factory under Linmu Financial Holdings with a higher performance graphics card chip.

The motherboard factory under Linmu Financial Holdings has tested it and made a sample graphics card.

Lin Yao wants to go and see it.

The event before the New Year.

In addition to Linmu Studio, the biggest winner is Reflecta.

They relied on the popularity of the game "Breakout" and the popularity of the competition to suppress several competitors in the rapidly growing field of gaming graphics cards.

Now they are truly the top brother.

Keli, a subsidiary of Linmu Financial Holdings, is a little worse, but it is not without benefits.

The competition was so hot at the time.

Linmu Financial Holdings' Xingyao series graphics cards have also appeared in the sight of many players.   Many players are interested

in Xingyao, a graphics card that uses the same graphics card chip as Reflecta, but with improved materials and performance, and a cool appearance.   In the end, the sales were good. It is not   as good as Reflecta, but it has opened up the market and shared a share.   And this time Lin Yao came here to help Linmu Financial Holdings expand the market... Now Reflecta and its competitors are still fighting in the field of entry-level gaming graphics cards.   But this time, the battle royale game launched by Linmu Studio has a larger map and higher requirements for graphics cards than "Breakout".   Entry-level gaming graphics cards can run, but it is already a bit difficult.   So the sales of higher-performance graphics cards are here.   Lin Yao plans to use the battle royale game to promote Linmu Financial Holdings' Xingyao series graphics cards.   Let's take a turn...   If the game is successful, the Xingyao series graphics cards should also be able to open up the market.   At least,   it should make players familiar with this brand.   (End of this chapter)
