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 591 Got it!

Chapter 591 Got it!

WeChat is suspected of monopoly.

Because of the promotion of "Resident Evil",

it briefly appeared on social media.

But it did not cause much waves.

First of all, it is mainly because users like this software recently.

Such topics are generally not well received.

Secondly, the definition of monopoly in the Antitrust Law is far from being touched by WeChat.

WeChat has neither used Future S1 to suppress its opponents nor reached an exclusive competition agreement with Jiaming Alliance.

Tianhu Chat can be downloaded normally whether on Future S1 or Jiaming Alliance.

They and Linmu Studio are in a normal competitive relationship.

If

Linmu Studio restricts Future S1 users so that they can only download one communication software, or restricts and interferes with other companies' development of instant messaging software, that is monopoly and may be fined.

Of course,

in addition to the above situations,

there is also the most important point.

That is-WeChat is free software.

You can't say that it is an abuse of market dominance for promotion and promotion.

If...

If Linmu Studio announces that WeChat will charge, then if it continues to develop, it will probably be doomed.

But free software, competing on the same stage, Weixun completely relies on quality to occupy the dominant position in the market.

This is indeed not a monopoly .

Anyone who knows a little bit knows this.

Of course.

If Lin Yao, after occupying the dominant position in the market, goes to acquire Tianhu, takes Tianhu Chat and their games into her pocket, and suppresses other peers, that would be a monopoly.

But Lin Yao did not have such an intention.

So she also saw the hot search, but did not take it too seriously.

Weixun will not die in the womb because of this. After all

, even if Weixun actually occupies a dominant position in the market, it is just an application.

There will definitely be developers who will make differentiated similar applications in this field in the future.

Lin Yao never worries about this alone.

Domestic developers, after being accelerated by Linmu Studio, will definitely react faster than in the previous life.

When she saw this news, she was more worried about mobile payment.

This is much more sensitive than an application...

There is no competitor at present.

However, Lin Yao quickly adjusted her mentality.

"Let's start first. If it is stopped, we will remove the mobile payment function."

Lin Yao sat in her seat.

Linmu Studio used to only make games. Games are different from other fields. No matter how big Linmu Studio grows, it is only the entertainment industry. Other game companies can find a chance to breathe.

But now the mobile-related territory has suddenly expanded, and the impact is different.

Faced with this, her reaction is indeed not so sharp.

So she was a little embarrassed: "Of course, if a competitor reacts at that time, we can actually continue to advance... But I think it's dangerous. If we are the only one, then mobile payment will most likely die in the womb."

"Not necessarily."

Hearing this, Mu Wanqing was silent for a moment and comforted: "It's not like making mobile phones before. Many peers are watching us... They react quickly."

"That may also lead to worse results."

Lin Yao shook her head gently and smiled: "It's about money. It's useless to react quickly. It will definitely take a long time to achieve a safe and usable level. If someone rushes to mess around... then they will probably be beaten to death." "

..."

Mu Wanqing was silent.

She had to admit that Lin Yao was right.

This is not a joke.

When it comes to money, it is far more sensitive than the entertainment industry.

"Actually, this is fine."

Lin Yao stretched, then gently patted Mu Wanqing's belly and comforted her in return: "It's time for us to stop. Our payment system is currently under development, and the business negotiations have been going on for so long that it's not easy to stop. Let's just take the launch as a sample, slightly revealing a corner of the future, so that everyone can have a reference.

It doesn't matter if we don't succeed ourselves. In the end, it will definitely become more and more convenient, and that's enough."

"I believe that everyone will be ready by then, especially our domestic elites."

This is the only thing that

Lin Yao is not worried about.

In the previous life, the third-party payment market was actually very chaotic at the beginning.

But in the end, it was sorted out.

In the previous life, mobile payment encountered many problems along the way.

QR code payment was stopped.

But after cutting off direct connections, strengthening the management of payment acceptance terminals and related businesses, and third-party payment licenses, etc.,

it is on the right track.

"To be honest, Miss Mu."

Lin Yao's hand on Mu Wanqing's belly slowly moved down and gently pinched her plump and beautiful black silk thighs, and said absentmindedly: "I think... maybe I should prepare an escape plan."

"Escape plan?"

Mu Wanqing was a little puzzled. She didn't know why Lin Yao suddenly brought up this matter while talking.

"Didn't I always tell you that I want to run away with my sister and take a break for a while?"

Lin Yao reacted and smiled at her brightly: "Maybe the next two years will be a good time, and it will also give other companies a break. Our Linmu Studio is too strong and developing too fast..."

"..."

Mu Wanqing's thighs suddenly tightened and she pursed her red lips.

Lin Yao noticed her change and asked curiously: "Miss Mu, why are you so nervous all of a sudden?"

Mu Wanqing didn't say anything, looked down at Lin Yao's round and pretty oval face, and then held her wrist.

Squeezed hard.

Almost pulled Lin Yao up from her position.

Lin Yao was held by her arms and forced to half stand up. Seeing Mu Wanqing's face, she was at a loss for a while, and finally reacted: "Oh, it's not like we're running away right away. It's probably unlikely next year.

After all, Future S1 is still in the development stage, and other products have not been announced yet. It will take time to develop after the announcement."

Mu Wanqing still didn't let go of Lin Yao's white arms, and still pursed her bright red lips.

"I will take you with me." Lin Yao added.

Mu Wanqing was slightly startled, and then slowly let go of her arm.

"...Miss Mu."

Lin Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief, sat back on the chair, and then looked at Mu Wanqing mischievously, teasing: "So, what are you nervous about?"

Mu Wanqing: "..."

"Miss Mu?" Lin Yao tilted her head, not giving up.

Mu Wanqing glared at Lin Yao lightly, and then suddenly squatted down with lightning speed, kneeling on the floor, and then supported Lin Yao's snow-white and round long legs, and opened her mouth to bite.

"Hey hey hey..."

Lin Yao put her jade-like and crystal-clear white long legs together, moved to the side, and said with a smile: "Why do you use this trick again!?"

Mu Wanqing ignored her and insisted on biting her.

Lin Yao could only stand up and run away to avoid Mu Wanqing.

Mu Wanqing did not chase after her, but slowly stood up, and then looked at Lin Yao provocatively.

Lin Yao was enraged, and quickly came to her, and was about to remove her black silk, and then bite his thigh.

Mu Wanqing dodged by bending forward.

But she was not firm...

so the two of them hugged each other directly.

After a long time of noise,

the two finally settled down.

"Miss Mu."

Lin Yao hugged the soft and warm body of the black-stockinged and bespectacled girl, rested her snow-white chin on her shoulder, and said lazily: "I am your boss, you haven't forgotten it?"

"No." Mu Wanqing gently rubbed Lin Yao's hair with her cheek and whispered.

"Then you are harassing the boss."

Lin Yao moved forward a little, hugged her slender waist, making the two closer, and asked at the same time: "Understand?"

"Yeah."

Mu Wanqing responded.

Lin Yao was amused and blurted out: "Yeah!? Do you still want this salary? Be careful, I will give you Q coins for this month's salary..." "

...Q coins?" Mu Wanqing was stunned.

But Lin Yao, who said this word, was also stunned.

No answer was given to her.

"Lin Yao?"

Mu Wanqing was a little surprised. After waiting patiently for a while, she finally couldn't help but raise her head, let go of Lin Yao's waist, and lifted her face to let her look at herself.

Lin Yao didn't struggle. Her face was thoughtful and frowned slightly.

Then.

Suddenly.

"I got it!"

Lin Yao reacted, her pupils regained focus, and she looked at Mu Wanqing excitedly, "Miss Mu, I thought of a way to hint at competitors! And it can also pave the way for mobile payment!"

"..."

Mu Wanqing didn't speak at first.

Because all her attention was on Lin Yao's face.

Her face is small... Her facial features look like perfect works of art when taken separately.

And when you look closer, there is a kind of beauty that makes people's heart beat...

"Paving the way for mobile payment?"

Until.

Lin Yao stopped talking.

Mu Wanqing finally reacted.

"Yeah."

Lin Yao held her wrist, then suddenly leaned forward and kissed her smooth forehead, and then said: "If the groundwork is good, I guess many smart people will think of what we are going to do. We can create an opponent! I just don't know who will be the lucky one..."

Lin Yao was a little excited.

Didn't notice it at all.

Her right-hand man, Mu Wanqing, was a little absent-minded, and once again focused on her face and her constantly opening and closing cherry lips.

Mu Wanqing's right arm naturally hung down, with five fingers open and then clenched.

Clenched a fist and opened five fingers.

But there was no other movement.

But... it doesn't matter.

Anyway, the two of them still have a lot of time to spend together...

...

registered users of WeChat.

Still climbing.

The topic of suspected monopoly, although briefly appeared on the hot search, did not cause much waves.

Lin Mu Studio did not come out to say anything specifically.

On the contrary,...Tianhu Chat popped up.

They started advertising and announced that Tianhu Chat would also launch a voice chat function soon.

This made the monopoly of WeChat even more untenable...

After all,

Tianhu Chat worked so hard, how could you sentence them to death in advance...

So,

the topic of suspected monopoly this time.

At most, it can only be regarded as a small episode.

It did not have any impact on WeChat.

The only impact it caused was probably to make Lin Yao realize the risks of launching mobile payment and let her think of a solution...

Although it is not sure whether someone pushed the topic of suspected monopoly of WeChat this time.

But it is indeed a loss.

In comparison,

"Resident Evil"... has been very popular recently!

The new function of WeChat official news was launched not long ago.

It just happened to be stuck shortly after the major version update.

The bonus of the new version is still there.

In this case,

"Resident Evil" appeared in the most prominent position of WeChat.

The exposure is really too high.

As I said, whether users watch it or not is one thing, and whether they know it is another.

Sometimes, publicity and promotion do not necessarily have to attract audiences to the cinema.

In fact, as long as the audience knows that there is such a movie, it will be a huge success.

Because this will allow users to subconsciously choose movies they have heard of when they have the need to watch movies and walk into the movie.

And "Resident Evil" is such a movie.

In fact, the publicity and promotion effect brought by WeChat.

Not only colleagues think it is exaggerated.

Even the two production companies that cooperated with Linmu Studio were confused.

No.

Isn't the movie mainly aimed at players?

Why are you so concerned?

And you just casually took out the trump card?

However.

Although they were confused,

they reacted quickly.

On WeChat, the promotional video of "Resident Evil" was just released.

They immediately followed and began to promote the movie on social media.

In addition, they also played the title of the first full CG movie...

WeChat bonus, plus the powerful publicity and promotion, there is also a gimmick.

This is why the popularity of this movie continues to explode.

However.

It has to be said.

Lin Yao really felt trembling when she saw the promotional slogan "the first full CG movie"...

But she didn't stop it.

This kind of promotional language is normal operation. She can't ask the partner to change it just because she is not comfortable.

It shouldn't be, and it's not appropriate.

However,

although the movie is very popular,

the people who actually discuss the movie

are mainly gamers.

The player community has been discussing the movie for some time after the release of the trailer for "Resident Evil"...

"The director of the movie, Qi Jianhua... Hahaha, although I know he is the head of the film and television department of Linmu Studio, why does it feel so weird?"

"He is just a little bad at playing games, but he is attacking me personally. He is also responsible for many of the game CGs of Linmu Studio."

"It is indeed a bit weird, but it is worth looking forward to. A movie directed by Linmu Studio themselves! I would be satisfied if it had the same quality as the game CG! I have wanted to watch such a movie for a long time."

"Indeed, but I am more looking forward to a better script. The last time Linmu Studio adapted the movie "Shadow", the special effects were also very good, but compared to the game, the plot is really like shit! The game originally had a very clear storyline, and it was closely related to the theme of reincarnation and retribution.

But the movie just added a lot of unnecessary side lines, making the main line scattered.

After watching the whole movie, apart from occasionally shocking the audience, there is nothing to watch."

"The script should be written by Lin Yao this time? There should be no need to worry! Linmu Studio's plot in the drama is trustworthy!"

"No... Lin Yao is the boss of Linmu Studio, right? How can she be trusted just because she writes scripts? Isn't this just for fun?"

"Brother, are you new here? Just started playing single-player games? What games do you like from Linmu Studio? Tell me, maybe you can find Lin Yao's name."

"Upstairs, I like "The Witch"... Can it be..."

"Yes, it's the script written by Lin Yao."

"Fuck!?"

"Compared to the movie, I'm actually more looking forward to the subsequent games. This multimedia project will definitely have games, right? I don't know how it will be different from the biochemical mode of "Breakout."

"Indeed, this is the first multimedia project of Linmu Studio, everyone should check it out."

"..."

Players are not only discussing it.

They should also be the first audience to choose to watch the movie.

But how far "Resident Evil" can go and whether the movie can make money still depends on how many ordinary people it can attract.

However, Lin Yao is not very concerned about this aspect.

Because "Resident Evil" is not only a movie, but also a promotional film for the game.

To put it bluntly.

The main task of this movie is to promote the game.

This multimedia project of Linmu Studio is actually more of an attempt.

This is not only for Linmu Studio.

Linmu Studio's peers in the game field also understand it.

They also know that this is a game trailer.

So at the beginning, they didn't care about "Resident Evil" and were not surprised that Linmu Studio made a movie.

Earlier, they might be surprised.

They would still pay attention to it with a learning attitude.

But now that mobile terminals are on the rise, many people think that they are not on the same track as Linmu Studio.

Of course, they pay less attention to Linmu Studio's actions in traditional games.

Of course,

this is just the beginning.

Now.

WeChat promotes "Resident Evil".

This is the first time that Linmu Studio has used the influence of WeChat to promote a work.

WeChat has 30 million registered users, and this data is still rising.

This undoubtedly adds a layer of BUFF to this movie.

This has made many people in the industry who have nothing to do with games start to pay attention to this movie.

They want to see.

How far can this movie go...

And in this case.

"Resident Evil" ushered in the release day.

On the first day,

the film's screening rate was not high, only 10.7%.

Although it is not a small number, compared to many niche films that only have single-digit screenings, this is already a very good screening data.

But obviously, this is still far from those popular movies with a screening rate of more than 20% on the first day.

It's a coincidence.

There are indeed two such popular movies in the summer vacation period selected by Linmu Studio's "Resident Evil".

After all, it is a popular period.

As for the specific performance of "Resident Evil", there is no need to see any discussion.

You only need to look at the changes in the screening data on the second day to know.

The data of the theater. It

is more convincing than anything else.

So many people are waiting, waiting for the second day to see the performance of this movie...

Sorry, I'm stuck...

It's not impossible to force myself to write, but it will probably be more uncomfortable to stop.

My condition has been very wrong recently, I will adjust it as soon as possible.
