This Online Game Developer is Definitely Problematic

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 283 Scenery

The first opening match of the Breakout Challenge.

In the end.

NO.1 still lost.

But the loss was not ugly.

At least it was a wonderful game.

The two teams were evenly matched.

In the end, NO.1 lost, in large part because their team was not well-coordinated.

And the FEIREN players were roommates who had been together for four years, and they liked to come up with surprising moves.

Individual super strength, tacit cooperation, plus the surprising moves that even mature teams may not be able to cope with.

All of this made it difficult for the new NO.1 to deal with.

It can only be said that NO.1 lost in the end, not because of any other reasons, but simply because of their inferior skills.

They tried their best and presented a wonderful game to the audience.

Many players even saw the shadow of last year's finals.

The high-spirited NO.1 and FEIREN...

Although some players who support NO.1 feel sad, there are not many of them. The e-sports environment here is still relatively pure, and NO.1's opponent is not a weak team. That is FEIREN who almost won the championship last year.

In addition, everyone knew that the No.1 team had failed... so most players could accept the final result.

I just felt sorry for the No.1 team.

But that's how e-sports is. Some people welcome the flowers and applause brought by winning the game, while others taste the failure and bitterness brought by losing the game.

The team that was unbeatable last year may fail this year.

The game that seemed to be a sure win may suddenly become an upset.

The team that has always been unpopular may suddenly win in a row and become a dark horse.

This is the charm of e-sports.

There are tears, happiness, and miracles like the black eight!

And then.

Various situations will continue to occur, no matter which event.

And this game full of uncertainty, passion and blood. It

also makes offline ticket prices more and more expensive...

In the end, the price of tickets for the finals of several events soared, and the price of tickets with good seats was even sky-high.

Many industry insiders predicted that

the income from tickets and sponsorship alone could make up for the bonuses spent by Linmu Studio.

But this is not the biggest benefit.

The biggest benefit is the public opinion storm formed by the event.

This event has become the hottest topic among the player community recently.

Games from several events frequently appear in front of players.

The advertising effect is really strong.

At the end of the year, most players have discovered that the sales of "Warcraft" have increased significantly, and the number of new players in "Battle Royale" and "Breakout" has increased. The servers are all red, which symbolizes fullness.

It just so happens that now is the day when the New Year activities of these games are launched...

How much income can this yearbook plan bring to Linmu Studio? Many industry insiders simply calculated and immediately took a breath.

The most important thing is that this is only in China.

The games of Linmu Studio are also very popular overseas...

This can be seen by looking at the ratio of overseas teams and overseas audiences in offline competitions. The situation overseas should not be worse than that in China.

You can say that.

On the field.

Teams have wins and losses.

But Linmu Studio never loses!

It has always made a lot of money.

Several games under Linmu Studio absorb new players at a whale-like pace, and then use the New Year activities to harvest players' wallets...

Many of Lin Yao's colleagues, including the venture capitalists behind them, are jealous.

But apart from jealousy, they have no other way.

Organize the competition by themselves?

Yes.

Now they can copy it, not because they don't have experience.

But the problem is that they don't have mature games that are popular with players at home and abroad.

If they force it, the effect will be limited, and they may even lose face in the end.

As for making trouble for Linmu Studio...

that's because they don't want to live.

At least not at this time.

With the experience of last year, the upper echelons of Peng City paid close attention to the event this year. A deputy provincial and ministerial official came out on behalf of the city to express his expectations for the event, hoping that it would be well run, and said that he would give full support.

Jumping out at this time... that would be jumping into the fire pit.

So they can only be jealous.

Linmu Studio was able to hold the competition steadily.

And as the event became more and more popular.

More and more players paid attention to it.

Finally, on the day of the finals, the popularity exploded. On

that day, the live broadcasts of the events of various projects set many records for the number of online viewers on live broadcast platforms.

Many helmsmen of live broadcast websites were smiling.

They were originally distressed.

They kept scolding Nie Hui, the event director of Linmu Studio, saying that bitch was really bold in asking for a price. It was obviously free last year, but this year he asked for money directly, and asked for a lot.

Several live streaming platforms worked together to obtain the broadcasting rights.

But now it seems... it's not a loss.

In the end, Linmu Studio brought the experimental e-sports festival to a perfect end!

Linmu Studio achieved its goal.

The champions of several projects successfully won the trophy.

Lin Yao came on stage again and awarded medals to several champions.

It is worth mentioning that

FEIREN, who lost last year, successfully defeated his opponent and finally won the trophy of the breakout challenge.

He became the biggest winner of the year.

When Lin Yao presented the award, their team's impressive captain Lu Tai whispered a thank you to her, and then said that he did it.

Lin Yao was a little puzzled.

But Lu Tai didn't say anything, just pointed to the logo of his team and smiled at her.

Lin Yao still didn't understand, but it was not easy to ask, so she could only quickly present the award, then stand aside, leaving the stage and applause to them.

Several teenagers looked at each other.

Then raised the trophy again.

Welcomed their cheers.

...

The most important event of Linmu Studio at the end of the year.

Finally ended perfectly.

In terms of games, all we need to do next is to do maintenance.

At this moment, Linmu Studio has finished a year's work.

At least the urgent matters have been completed.

There are only some finishing work left, and the testing of MOBA games.

And the holiday is coming soon.

Last year, due to the tight schedule, the hasty annual meeting has always been a regret.

So Lin Yao brought forward the annual meeting this year and made it particularly grand.

This annual meeting was much more lively than last year.

The entire Linmu Studio, except for a small number of maintenance personnel, almost gathered together.

Linmu Studio has all the links that ordinary companies have in their annual meetings.

And Lin Yao also went on stage and experienced the feeling of throwing coins...

In short, everyone was very happy.

At the end, Lin Yao thanked everyone in Linmu Studio for their efforts, then bowed to all the staff and left the stage.

Let others make noise.

And at the venue, the most eye-catching people are still those few people, Zhong Xiu, Zhu Nianqiao, Qi Jianhua... But this year there is also Nie Hui.

He was drinking with others, bragging about his negotiation with the live broadcast platform, and then he kept regretting that he should have bid more at the beginning. Now there are so many people watching the event, and he lost money...

If he bid more, maybe he could get a few more months of year-end bonus...

While others were joking and making a fuss.

It was noisy.

Very lively.

Lin Yao stood in the corner, holding a glass of juice, looking at the happy people, and smiled gently.

Mu Wanqing stood next to her, glanced at the profile of the girl next to her, smiled too, moved towards her, and then gently leaned her head on her shoulder.

"It's all over."

"Yeah."

"Please give me more advice next year, Lin Yao."

"Yeah..."

The noisy venue was filled with glasses.

The two stood in the corner, talking in a low voice.

It added a different landscape to the noisy venue...
