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...

"Do you still think they are making consoles?"

Peria headquarters.

Finally.

The head of the marketing department who was confirmed to be transferred to Southeast Asia was called back...

and when Mikio Kawabe saw him, he said this to him.

The former head of the marketing department named Hanzawa Hidekazu was not surprised at all when he heard Mikio Kawabe's question.

He bowed and said calmly: "I have always believed this, even when their game was launched on Reflecta zodiac 1 before, I still thought so."

"Why?"

Mikio Kawabe continued to ask without any change in his expression.

"Materials."

Hanzawa Hidekazu uttered a word, and then said calmly: "Linmu Financial Holdings' material procurement has never stopped. Reflecta has been shipping frequently during this period and delivering it to Linmu Financial Holdings. Reflecta is a graphics card supplier... What can they give Linmu Studio? In addition to graphics card chips, there is no other possibility.

Of course, Linmu Financial Holdings also has a foundry graphics card brand. At first, I just thought it was a regular supply, but I soon discovered that the quantity was too large. The shipment volume of the Xingyao series graphics cards under Linmu Financial Holdings was not that large. That was not a regular supply. There was only one possibility..."

"Host."

Kawabe Mikio's eyes were dim: "Then why do you think Linmu Studio let those two games land on Reflecta zodiac 1?"

"It may be some kind of agreement."

Hanzawa Hidekazu hesitated for a while and said: "If Reflecta is really the graphics card chip supplier of their console, it is normal for the two to reach an agreement, and we don’t want to see a second Reflecta enter the console market... Reflecta has the ability to help Linmu Studio get the channel. After all, they have been cooperating for a long time and have a basis for negotiation."

"..."

Kawabe Mikio nodded gently.

This was true.

When he first heard the rumor that Linmu Studio was going to make a console,

his first reaction was to kill it.

However...

"Why did Reflecta agree? Don't they know that Linmu Studio will enter the console market and will also be their strong rival?"

Kawabe Mikio continued to ask, "Is it just for those two games?"

Hanzawa Hidekazu asked in return, "If there is no Linmu Studio's game this time, what will happen to Reflecta's console? President, they have no choice." Kawabe Mikio

: "..."

"This time, it is estimated that both parties will get what they need. One party needs Linmu Studio's game, and the other party needs a target and channels."

Hanzawa Hidekazu showed a confident expression and analyzed, "Reflecta needs games, and Linmu Studio needs Reflecta to get channels, making him a target, and then making a fortune in silence. As for the two games "Battlefield" and "Tomb Raider", that is the price paid by Linmu Studio.

According to Linmu Studio's production capabilities, they should have better works than these two games on hand!

Reflecta probably knows it, but there is really no way, it can only drink poison to quench thirst."

"..."

Kawabe Mikio tapped the table with his fingers. After a moment of silence, he said softly, "No wonder... did you see the new animation logo announced by Linmu Studio today?"

"New animation logo?"

Kawabe Mikio picked up the phone on the table and threw it to Hanzawa Hidekazu.

Hanzawa Hidekazu looked down.

There was another paragraph after the overwhelming LOGO animation yesterday.

"This is a game, it must be a game! It must be an escort masterpiece!"

Hanzawa Hidekazu blurted out as soon as he finished watching it.

"..."

Kawabe Mikio actually had similar speculations after seeing the new animation.

But he didn't dare to believe it.

Now hearing Hanzawa Hidekazu's extremely firm words.

He had to admit... it was really possible.

"This is almost a clear indication that they are making consoles!"

Hanzawa Hidekazu seemed to be afraid that Kawabe Mikio would not believe it, and added: "Otherwise, what is worth such a big fuss and such large-scale publicity for the game company Linmu Studio? Nothing!"

"..."

Kawabe Mikio was silent again, and then suddenly asked: "I just decided yesterday to deal with Reflecta. Do you think this is exactly what Linmu Studio wants?"

Hanzawa Hidekazu nodded vigorously, not caring about being respectful: "Of course, they want this result!"

"..."

Kawabe Mikio took a deep breath and made up his mind: "Okay, you go out and find the current marketing director and ask him to contact all first-party studios and notify them first that all games at the beginning of the year must be released in advance and all must be released in one month at the latest.

As for you, stay at the headquarters first."

"Yes!"

Hanzawa Hidekazu bowed respectfully at a 90-degree angle. Although there was no expression on his face, he was already waving his fist in celebration deep in his heart.

He didn't have to go to Southeast Asia!

Kawabe Mikio had already made up his mind to snipe the console of Linmu Studio.

Then he, the consultant who has always believed that Linmu Studio will be the host, will be very important next time.

Wait.

What I lost!

I will get it back tenfold next time!

Hanzawa Hidekazu thought as he turned around and retreated respectfully.

Before leaving.

He paused for a moment, thinking of a strange point he found when he investigated Lin Mu Studio some time ago.

That is, some of the materials purchased by Lin Mu Studio have nothing to do with traditional game consoles...

Hanzawa Hidekazu hesitated whether to turn around and tell Kawabe Mikio about this.

But thinking about it carefully,

he felt that it didn't seem to be important.

Lin Mu Studio is making consoles, this is confirmed.

The rest are just some details.

There is no need.

Hanzawa Hidekazu shook his head, but in the end he did not turn around, but walked out of Kawabe Mikio's office directly.

...

At the same time.

Lin Mu Studio.

"After Zelda is released, we should release the logos of smaller games the next day. Don't throw out all the logo animations of big games at the beginning."

Lin Yao stood behind Qi Jianhua and explained to him the order of the next announcement: "We will mix them up."

"I understand... Then when will we release the logos that players are familiar with? For example, the ported Mario?"

Qi Jianhua nodded, and then smiled: "Players don't know the logos of new games, but these old game players still know them. By then, it will probably be a done deal."

Lin Yao thought for a while: "The last ten days, let the players discuss it out of curiosity for a while, and then slowly announce those familiar game logos in the last ten days... It just so happens that the e-sports festival is about to be held, we can take advantage of the popularity and help each other with the console and e-sports." "

Then the popularity will probably explode on the last day."

Qi Jianhua grinned: "The console logo animation appears again and again, and it changes every day. Finally, with the popularity of the e-sports festival..."

"If the console form can be kept secret, the effect should be good..."

Lin Yao nodded slowly.

It should be good, right?

After a month of marketing, the game trailers will be released in order on the last day, with the console trailer as the finale...

The effect... should be pretty good, right?

Staying up late really doesn't work, I feel groggy when I wake up... Forget it, I'll just take it easy...
