Chapter 193 That’s Enough
The situation is indeed very tense. The three major console manufacturers have tried every possible means
to get a good start for their new consoles. After the European and American manufacturer Bushnell contacted Linmu Studio, the Japanese manufacturer Peria and another Japanese console manufacturer also contacted Linmu Studio. They all had the same purpose. They wanted Linmu Studio to make exclusives. Lin Yao was deeply moved by what she heard, and felt that her studio was also famous, so she rejected them... At the same time, she recommended them a game in the Greenlight plan - "Journey". I can't make a new exclusive anyway, but we have a very awesome game in Greenlight, do you want it? Compared to Bushnell, the other two console manufacturers are quite interested. I guess they are also in the mentality of coming here, so it’s okay if there is no exclusive... They all said that if you log in, you can make a trailer, and we will include that game when we promote it. Lin Yao also agreed. But later, he probably knew that his colleagues were also talking to Linmu Studio. With the purpose of disgusting its rival, Peria told Linmu Studio that forget it, don’t port the game to other platforms, give you some money, and let Journey be exclusive to Vaporwave and Peria. Anyway, in the end, the game was sold to Lin Yao… Before Journey was even released, it received a considerable amount of exclusive money. When Lin Yao contacted Cheng Yiran, the producer of Journey, and told him the news, he was quite surprised. "Mr. Lin, can we get paid before the game is even sold..." "We caught up with a good opportunity. Several major console manufacturers are expected to launch their own new consoles in the middle of the year, so they all contacted Linmu Studio and wanted us to make an exclusive game for them, but we really didn't have the energy, so we recommended your almost completed game. Two of them were interested, and one agreed to it in order to disgust its rival." Lin Yao smiled and continued, "But let me tell you first, refusing the other console platform also means that the game will only be sold on PC and Peria's new console, and sales may be affected." "Don't laugh at me, Mr. Lin." Cheng Yiran smiled bitterly when he heard it, "I could hardly even make the game at the beginning, if it weren't for the help of your Linmu Studio. At first, I was also thinking about releasing it on the Vaporwave game platform. Now you tell me that it can be released on the console platform. I didn't even dare to think about it before, not to mention there is a sum of money... Thank you so much." "Okay then." Lin Yao scratched her cheek gently: "As long as you agree, then you can come to Linmu Studio to work during this period. It just so happens that we have a game that needs to be ported. You should have no experience in porting, right?" "Well, I will go to Linmu Studio the day after tomorrow. Sorry to trouble you." Cheng Yiran agreed immediately. ... Although the three major console platforms have fought back and forth. But it has little to do with Linmu Studio. On June 10th. Linmu Studio officially moved. Lin Yao officially left the old place where he had stayed for nearly a year in the second development department and came to the Founder Building three streets away. This is an industry under Linmu Financial Holdings. Lin Yao rented the best third floor. Of course. Linmu Studio did not move there all at once. The game porting team and Zhong Xiu stayed temporarily. Because both Bushnell and Peria were very urgent. They wanted "Journey" and "Battle Royale" to be officially released at the same time as the new console was released. After all, the world's most important electronic entertainment exhibition is about to be held. This electronic entertainment exhibition is similar to E3 on Earth. The date is at the end of this month. At this Electronic Entertainment Expo, the three major console manufacturers will announce their new consoles and first-run game lineups. The battle between the two is about to begin. No one wants to be left behind. On June 14, Linmu Studio officially completed its relocation, and work was back on track. At the same time, it was preparing to change to a limited company. The PC version of Journey also entered the "coming soon" list of the Vaporwave game platform. On the same day, Battle Royale's overseas sales officially exceeded two million, becoming one of the most popular online games in Europe and the United States. Domestic sales exceeded 400,000 copies, which is not as good as overseas, but it also has the number of online players of Breakout before the challenge competition started. In addition, with the bonus of the pass system... Battle Royale has become Linmu Studio's new money-making game. Whether overseas or domestically, it is very profitable. At the same time, the relocation of Linmu Studio and the preparation for changing to a limited company were revealed. Because of the explosive popularity of Battle Royale overseas, and the fact that the value of buyout games is public, many game media have paid attention to Linmu Studio, a small studio that was still unknown in the first half of last year. When they heard the news of Linmu Studio's relocation, they suddenly began to speculate how much money this studio, which never disclosed financial reports and called itself "small", had made in the gaming industry. Then they calculated. It was really amazing. Let's not talk about anything else.
Just the visible sales of "Battle Royale". The revenue
from overseas and domestic sales
is about 300 million.
What about in-game purchases? What about the other two online games? "Breakout" is very popular in China, not to mention the money-making monster "Fantasy OL".
In the report, a game media was not very sure how much money Linmu Studio made, but made a bold guess.
After "Battle Royale" became popular overseas and sold 400,000 copies in China, Linmu Studio's monthly turnover is now at least more than 600 million!
This number instantly made the players who saw the report gasp.
How much was the sales revenue of Tianhu Games, the largest online game company in China last year?
Linmu Studio... is it really still small?
Tianhu... is it really the number one in the domestic online game field?
Players began to discuss these two questions.
But no one dared to give a definite answer.
It was only after this report came out that Linmu Studio, a "small" studio, appeared in the eyes of many players again.
At the same time, after the report came out, Tianhu held an emergency board meeting.
The board meeting lasted for a full seven hours.
When Li Guangsheng came out, he was exhausted.
And the time came to June 15th.
Pengcheng suddenly issued a document called "Draft for Soliciting Opinions on the High-Quality Development Plan of the Cultural Industry".
It specifically proposed to focus on the development of creative cultural industries and digital cultural industries, and gave an example, that is, "Battle Royale" which was popular overseas by Linmu Studio.
As soon as this report came out.
Li Guangsheng was forced to attend another round of board meetings. This time the board meeting was longer, lasting eleven hours.
Someone from Linmu Financial Holdings also saw this report.
Then, a director rushed directly into Lin Xi's office and had a fierce argument with Lin Xi. In the end, the director was carried out by security guards.
On the same day.
Lin Yao actually noticed the report of the game media and the discussion of the players.
She was a little speechless.
She didn't expect that she would cause so much trouble just by moving. She had no choice but to pretend not to see it.
After all, how can she respond?
In response to the media's nonsense, because of the success of the new game overseas, plus the increase in domestic online game users, Linmu Studio's sales revenue last month was 870 million, right?
This is not good...
And it is obviously unfair to compare Linmu Studio's performance this year with Tianhu's performance last year. The increase in the number of domestic online game users is not just the benefit of Linmu Studio.
Tianhu's sales revenue this year will definitely be more than last year's.
So forget it.
Let's deal with it coldly for now.
However, there are actually benefits to such a big fuss. At least the number of people following the game "Journey" in the "coming soon" column of the Vaporwave game platform has increased.
Don't worry about whether these people really follow the game, but at least they have seen the game and may be interested in it.
As long as one out of a hundred people is interested in the game, it will be profitable.
This is the second game released by the Greenlight plan.
Linmu Studio is also a co-producer.
Lin Yao must hope that it will succeed.
It would be best if it can be a great success.
...
That day.
North.
The same hunting ground.
The burly man put his shotgun aside, squatted down, grabbed a handful of dirt, muttered something, and then let the dirt in his palm fall through his fingers.
Then, he stood up, picked up the shotgun, and fired a few shots into the sky.
"What era is this?"
The uncle next to him saw this scene and made a joke.
"This thing has nothing to do with the era, it's just for peace of mind."
The man, Lin Yao's father, picked up a cigarette and said casually.
"...Have you read the report? My little niece is much better than you."
The uncle smiled, then dug into his pocket and took out a cigarette.
"A good father will have a good daughter."
The man laughed and said, "And times have changed. In our time, who knew about online games? Money was not so easy to make. The first pot of gold I made was earned by following others' buttocks.
Now Xiaoyao has her sister and the support of Linmu Financial Holdings. It is more relaxed than I was at the beginning. At least I have a good starting point."
"..."
The uncle smiled and lit the cigarette in his mouth. He looked into the distance, as if he missed it a little. After a long while, he said, "Don't say that. Money is never easy to make. My little niece is not easy either. I checked it out. Although I don't understand online games, the Tianhu family was powerful at the time. It was amazing that she could make it."
The man suddenly laughed: "That makes sense."
"..."
The uncle was a little helpless.
Can you not show off your daughter so obviously?
He shook his head and flicked the ash.
"I can rest assured. Next, you take care of the two sisters."
The man slowly put away his smile.
Suddenly said.
The uncle's hands trembled slightly when he heard this. After a while, he said, "Is it possible? My two nieces are still young..."
"Not young anymore. Besides, I don't ask the two sisters to do anything to save the collapsing building. If Linmu Financial Holdings is lost, it's lost. We can still live well by relying on that online game company."
The man looked into the distance: "That's enough."
I owe you a chapter... Sorry
