A turn-based online game that hadn’t been updated for half a year, had a development budget seven times that of its competitors, yet only made a tenth of their revenue—a total failure. A game t...
Chapter 180: Schadenfreude
It was the day after Lin Yao learned about the overseas sales of her new game.
On May 26,
the Tianhu game platform was officially launched.
Li Guangsheng sat in his office and opened his own Tianhu game platform.
After comparison and trial, Li Guangsheng was very satisfied
with it
.
Because this platform has both the highly acclaimed features of Linmu Studio's Vaporwave game platform and its own characteristics.
"Very good, is the new platform now online?"
Li Guangsheng looked away from the screen and looked at the person in charge standing not far away.
The person in charge reported the good news: "Well, it's already online, and the number of users on the first day exceeded one million!"
"..."
Li Guangsheng glanced at the other party, thought about it, and did not expose the other party.
These one million.
In fact, they are all users of online games under Tianhu and eBay, the two kings of domestic online game companies.
Before the Tianhu platform was launched,
Li Guangsheng issued a death order that all project teams under his jurisdiction must download the Tianhu game platform to log in to the game.
The result of this is that there are as many online game players as there are on Tianhu, and the new platform has as many users.
These one million.
It is definitely false to say that they are all platform users.
But it doesn't matter.
Are the users of the game platform under Linmu Studio not their online game players?
Li Guangsheng tapped the table lightly, thought for a while, and said: "Then announce it to everyone, make a big banner, promote the users of our platform, and then tell those producers who wavered and did not give a clear answer, show our strength, and let those small production teams of independent games and stand-alone games know that our Tianhu is strong and they did not make a wrong choice."
"Okay, I'm ready."
The person in charge nodded and agreed.
Then Li Guangsheng explained a few more things, and the person in charge left.
Li Guangsheng watched the person in charge leave, then held the mouse again, looking at his Tianhu game platform, and he was more and more satisfied.
He even felt a little excited.
Although it is not clear in the future, the Tianhu game platform has made a good start.
At the beginning, his main purpose of making a game platform was to integrate the users and popularity of many online games under his company and open up the publicity and distribution channels of communication software.
In order to better promote the games launched by Tianhu.
But because of the conflict of ideas with Linmu Studio.
Li Guangsheng, who had been wronged for half a year last year, gritted his teeth and made a fuss, pulling a lot of independent games and stand-alone games from Linmu Studio's Greenlight plan.
He didn't value these independent games and stand-alone games.
Because he knew very well that the most important foundation of the Tianhu game platform was online games, and those online game users were the most important.
But.
Now Linmu Studio's new game is not popular, and the platform users are limited to the users of their two online games, although the user base should be about one million.
But his Tianhu game platform broke one million on the first day of its launch!
This gave him some other thoughts.
After Linmu Studio announced the Greenlight plan, the purpose was very clear, and Li Guangsheng saw it.
Unlike Tianhu, they not only wanted to integrate resources and promote the next game, they even wanted to make their game platform a distribution and sales platform for independent games and stand-alone games.
Such an idea.
Li Guangsheng didn't care at first.
But when he saw that the number of people on his Tianhu game platform exceeded one million.
He was a little tempted.
If Linmu Studio can't do it now, what about the Tianhu game platform?
If, if the Fox Game Platform becomes the largest game distribution and sales platform in China, and each game is divided into shares for the platform, it seems to be a good way.
Now Linmu Studio has the Greenlight Plan, and the Fox Game Platform also has some independent game and stand-alone game production teams.
"You can give it a try."
Li Guangsheng looked at his own game platform, and then looked at the Vaporwave game platform that was also opened, and suddenly smiled: "You also pointed me in a way, I thank you."
As he spoke, he uninstalled the Vaporwave game platform.
I have been paying attention to it for so many days.
It's enough.
The current Vaporwave game platform is no match for Fox.
He should focus on his own game platform.
There is no point in staring at the other party.
Li Guangsheng looked at the successful uninstallation prompt on the screen, and turned his head to look at the mobile phone at hand.
Since he called Mou Feng and said that the other party was wrong.
Mou Feng has not contacted him.
Maybe he is reflecting.
He should also reflect on it.
As Li Guangsheng thought, he leaned back, leaned back in the chair, and hummed a song softly, feeling good.
...
"See? One million!"
Yin Tianyu looked at the banner on the Tianhu game platform that celebrated the one million users on the first day, and his mood was also a little surging.
"...It's really amazing."
After hearing what Yin Tianyu said, his friend first admitted the fact that it was amazing, and then added: "But these are all online game users, right? I looked at it and found that all games under Tianhu and all games under the merged eBay, after the Tianhu game platform was launched, had to be downloaded from this platform before they could log in and play. There may not be as many people who use this platform purely as they say."
Yin Tianyu frowned when he heard this and argued: "Then the users of Linmu Studio's Vaporwave game platform are not the players of the two games "Fantasy OL" and "Breakout"? You can't say that, right? Although Linmu Studio is indeed good at innovation, their new game still failed. The two game platforms are still the same after all."
Although before this, Yin Tianyu also admired Linmu Studio and once scolded Tianhu as a shame in the industry.
But people are like this.
After withdrawing from the Greenlight program and choosing to bet his game on the Tianhu game platform.
Perhaps it was to prove that his choice was right.
Perhaps some kind of selfish psychology was at work.
He who admired Linmu Studio at the beginning, now defended the Tianhu game platform he chose.
"Okay." The friend was speechless after hearing this.
"Besides, the name of Linmu Studio's Vaporwave game platform is actually not good. It's called Vaporwave, which is hard to remember and has no meaning. It's not as good as Tianhu, Tianhu game platform, which is much simpler and easier to remember."
"..."
"Alas, I really did not make the wrong choice. I should have quit at the beginning. Although the Greenlight plan is also good, the new game of Vaporwave game platform has failed, and there are not as many people as Tianhu game platform. It is definitely not as good as the latter."
Yin Tianyu smiled, not because of his friend's silence, but smiled and said: "I am full of confidence in my game now. There are so many people! Maybe it will sell well!"
Indeed.
One million people.
This is just the beginning!
Even if 50,000 of them are interested in his game, he will make a fortune!
Friends: "..."
"I guess those colleagues who stubbornly participated in the Greenlight Program are regretting it now. After all, it's a bit difficult to turn around and go to the Fox Game Platform now, because they have been exposed in the Greenlight Program."
Finally, Yin Tianyu added a sentence, looking a little gloating.
Friends: "..."
...
At the same time.
Just when Li Guangsheng thanked Linmu Studio and said that they pointed out a way for the Fox Game Platform.
Yin Tianyu imagined the future and was a little gloating.
On the largest game forum in China, someone suddenly posted a post with a very exaggerated title-'Linmu Studio's new game that was not well received in China has sold 500,000 copies overseas! '
I'm so tired, my whole coccyx is throbbing. The place where the ancestors were buried before was in a deep mountain. Climbing up would kill half of my life. There was no road, not to mention that it was slanted and difficult to climb. There were hooks and dense vegetation everywhere. I got in there and got lost when I went down the mountain. I also forgot to bring water. I was tired and thirsty. It was simply torture. During this period, I even regretted going back.
But... the sunrise is really beautiful. I haven't seen the rising sun for half a year. I went back early yesterday morning and saw it for the first time. It was a great experience.
