Chapter 374 Ripples

Linmu Studio, want to make consoles.

This sentence immediately touched the sensitive nerves of the two console manufacturers.

If it was before Reflecta entered the market, facing such a thing, it might not be so exaggerated.

But Reflecta is indeed... a bit too unethical.

After they entered the console market, they relied on the advantages of the supply chain to lower the price of the machine, forcing the other two companies to lower their prices, and also advocated pushing the price of games to lower.

They actually pushed the price of games to lower under the trend of increasing production costs! They

really don't care about their face in order to seize the market.

In addition to these, they also poached people!

The other two console manufacturers were annoyed.

Finally, they realized how destructive a competitor who doesn't follow the rules is.

Although.

Reflecta did this because of its own difficulties and was forced to do so...

Because of the sudden popularity of "The Witch", the escort masterpiece of Reflecta Zodiac 1 did not meet expectations. In order to seize enough market share for their new machine, they had to do everything they could.

But in other words.

This also indirectly proves the ability of Linmu Studio.

Linmu Studio is going to make consoles. For the other two console manufacturers, the destructive power is indeed stronger than Reflecta.

After all, although Reflecta is not a martial arts ethics and has no face, its actions are still predictable.

But Linmu Studio, this company is really hard to predict.

Since its establishment, they have risen at a terrifying speed. Every work is unexpected. Even if it is a familiar theme, they can make something different.

And they have successful cases such as e-sports and online game distribution platforms...

Linmu Studio is going to make consoles.

The other two console manufacturers need to cheer up...

Of course.

It is still uncertain whether Linmu Studio will make consoles.

After all, Lin Yao only announced a vibration technology, and making consoles is just a rumor.

There are still some debates within the two major console manufacturers.

Some people think that Linmu Studio has no such idea and there is no need to worry too much. Others

think... This news is 80% true, and now we need to think of a response plan.

Putting aside Reflecta, which has known the news for a long time, the other two console manufacturers.

Hardcore, the senior executives who think that Linmu Studio has no idea of ​​entering the console market have the upper hand.

So nothing was done.

But another Japanese company, Peria, is different...

"Stupid! If they don't intend to make consoles, why would they make vibration technology solutions and provide us with technical support? Use your brain to think about it! They now have the largest online game distribution platform, which is essentially the same as our console mall. Would they be so kind to help us steal business from themselves?"

Peria's domestic headquarters.

The president of the headquarters in charge of console operations scolded the domestic person in charge.

Because the domestic person in charge didn't think that Linmu Studio would make consoles.

The main reason was that it sounded outrageous.

Reflecta is a hardware company after all, and has the ability to integrate the upstream and downstream supply chains. And because it is a graphics card hardware manufacturer, it has a good relationship with major game producers.

But Linmu Studio, they are just a game producer, and they also have an online game distribution platform.

No matter how you think about it, they won't make consoles.

Of course.

It's useless for him to think so.

Although Lin Yao had seen many plots of the lower class overthrowing the upper class in Japanese dramas in his previous life, those were TV dramas. In reality, Japan has a strict hierarchy and pays great attention to seniority.

It is generally very rare to see such scenes of the lower class descending from the throne.

So even if the domestic director, Koichi Nakabo, disagreed with the other party and thought that Linmu Studio could not make a console, he could only nod his head in agreement.

"Yes! I'm very sorry."

"Keep an eye on the other party, and find out the authenticity of this news. Tell me as soon as you have any news."

The president in charge of console operations gave an order, and then said to himself angrily: "Idiot! All of you come to join in the fun! Forget Reflecta, a game production company without any offline channels, do you really think it's so easy to seize the market? Consoles are not online games, bastards! Wait!"

After that,

he hung up the phone angrily.

Koichi Nakabo, the domestic director, took the phone off his ear, thought of the harsh words just now, and shook his head gently.

Although the harsh words were loud.

But he knew that the top management was still worried.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have mobilized so many troops...

Linmu Studio is indeed a more difficult competitor than Reflecta... If they really want to enter the console market.

The only thing to be confirmed now is whether they really want to make a console...

How to confirm the news.

Nakabo Koichi tossed his phone, thought about it carefully, and then made a call...

...

Lin Yao never dreamed that

Linmu Studio would be so famous. Just by announcing a game-related vibration technology, the other two console manufacturers became alert.

It even created a wave of trouble for the console's release in the future.

She still thought that vibration technology had not attracted much attention except for those in the industry.

While Nakabo Koichi was talking to his superiors,

Lin Yao was considering how to allocate development work...

and was worried about how to allocate personnel.

Linmu Studio currently has only a few large project teams, namely the "Breakout" project team, the "Fantasy OL" project team, the "Battle Royale" project team, the "Warcraft" project team, the "Hero" project team, and the "Witch" project team.

The game platform project team and other project teams such as CG, e-sports, and temporary formation and disbanding are not counted.

The "DOTA" project team is quite special. It was also temporarily formed at the beginning, but it was retained in the end, but it was not large in scale.

And this is the entire team of the product department of Linmu Studio.

It looks like a lot.

But here we have to talk about the difference between online games and stand-alone games.

To be honest.

In terms of earning ability.

Linmu Studio's online games are a dimensionality reduction attack compared to stand-alone games.

If it weren't for Linmu Financial Holdings, its game platform, and Lin Yao's own little thoughts...

In order to save trouble and make money, it would be best to keep doing online games.

However, online games make money... but they also have disadvantages.

That is, online games need long-term revenue, which means that updates must be guaranteed and players must have new content to play... This requires a large amount of personnel investment.

Therefore, in the product department of Linmu Studio, most of the project team members cannot be changed at will.

If a large number of people from the "Breakout" project team, the "Fantasy OL" project team, the "Battle Royale" project team, and the "Hero" project team are transferred away, then the subsequent updates will be greatly affected.

The consequence of poor updates is the loss of players, and then the decline in revenue, and then forget about making consoles... nothing can be done.

Therefore, the allocation of personnel is indeed very troublesome.

Although Lin Yao has determined the development plan, how to allocate personnel has become a problem.

The most important thing is.

Confirming which project team should be assigned to produce the first game is also a big problem.
