Chapter 213 Go Home Early
From Lin Yao's tone, she was more concerned about the two exclusive games than the console.
This made Zhang Jianghu speechless.
But soon,
he remembered the recent troubles of the Vaporwave gaming platform, and understood why Lin Yao valued these two games so much.
The Vaporwave gaming platform urgently needs third-party blockbusters to consolidate the traffic and advantages brought by their summer special promotions, but no domestic game company can produce a real blockbuster... In addition to themselves, many large overseas manufacturers are going to release their own blockbusters with the graphics of "Breakout" during this period.
However, although these large manufacturers are interested in the Vaporwave gaming platform, and the Vaporwave gaming platform has also proved its potential through the summer special promotion, they are obviously not easy to deal with. They formed an alliance to get a more favorable share ratio and forced Linmu Studio to submit.
Then the two sides were stuck.
Linmu Studio has not found a way to break the deadlock.
The two independent games under Bushnell's new console seem to be a good way to break the deadlock. These two games were originally made specifically for Bushnell's new console and have nothing to do with the PC side. Of course, it is impossible to form an alliance with those big manufacturers. Moreover,
their current situation is more complicated. They have no choice for console games, so they can only look for the other two consoles to seek opportunities to log on to each other's platforms.
But it is not so easy to be a slave to two families. It can be predicted that these two original Bushnell exclusive games will definitely be suppressed when they go to the other two console platforms.
Because everyone knows that the original exclusive console manufacturer has collapsed, and there are not many choices. They have no way out. If they want to make PC, not only can they not keep up with the publicity and promotion, but also have to port, which is more troublesome.
Now Vaporwave game platform has thrown out an olive branch, proposing to support and help them port to PC, and can also provide a platform. They will really agree, and they may be very happy to do it.
But...
Zhang Jianghu smiled bitterly and said, "Boss Lin, listen to me. Although the exclusive agreement for these two games was terminated because Bushnell could not pay the sales deposit, we Reflecta can afford it. We want to make a new console, so we must do our best to keep these two games... After all, our console can't be without games, right?"
"Then it will take time for you to make a new console, right? Now Bushnell's new consoles have sold less than 200,000 in total. By the time you develop a new console, the games will be unpopular and the popularity will have passed. What's the point of
exclusivity at this time?" Lin Yao said, "Why not let go? Let more people play the games that the producers have worked hard to make, and let them shine on other platforms..."
Zhang Jianghu: "..."
Lin Yao was telling the truth.
Bushnell's new console was undoubtedly a failure.
Reflecta certainly couldn't continue on this path. If it entered the console market, it would definitely develop a new game console, or at least change the brand.
By that time, the two Bushnell new console exclusive games would have been cold and no longer popular... It would not be worthwhile to pay them a sales deposit for exclusive use.
However,
Zhang Jianghu still subconsciously wanted to refuse when he heard Lin Yao's words.
Because he could tell that
Lin Yao was not very interested in the cooperation between the two parties.
She just wanted to have those two exclusive games...
Zhang Jianghu realized Lin Yao's thoughts and realized that his judgment was wrong.
He should have mentioned it earlier.
Now Linmu Studio's game platform has been built.
You know, this thing is much simpler than the console.
After all, there is no need to make hardware.
And the game console exclusive mode is not conducive to the development of the Vaporwave game platform...
"I'll think about it."
In the end,
Zhang Jianghu agreed to think about it, and after a few pleasantries, he hurriedly hung up the phone.
He felt that he needed to re-evaluate the possibility of cooperation.
Lin Yao politely hung up the phone, then put down the phone and shook her head gently.
Zhang Jianghu's feeling was right.
Lin Yao was indeed just greedy for those two exclusive games...
As for the cooperation, she had just made a decision.
It was not worthwhile.
No.
If it was earlier, Lin Yao might have really considered it carefully.
But now that the Vaporwave game platform has been established, cooperating with the other party to make consoles is just digging into their own corners.
The exclusive model is essentially to compete with the Vaporwave game platform for business.
The game that has been worked hard to make is exclusive to the console. How should the Vaporwave game platform be positioned?
Make a dual-platform login like Juying?
Then the console may not be sold...
Juying can burn money like this and burn out a future, but Linmu Studio can't afford it.
And Zhang Jianghu will definitely not agree.
The moment Linmu Studio made the Vaporwave game platform, it almost blocked the road to exclusive consoles, unless it burned money like Juying, logged in on dual platforms, and burned out a subscription-based future.
But this requires more than just one Linmu Studio. It
also requires huge resources.
Exclusive consoles cannot be achieved by one Linmu Studio.
After all, a studio only releases a few games a year.
Lin Yao does not have the strength to spend tens of billions of dollars to acquire other game companies for the time being...
Now the Vaporwave game platform can't even handle the alliance of several large manufacturers.
If Linmu Studio really wants to make consoles, it can either burn money to create a dual-platform subscription system in the future, or it can only make differentiated consoles like Nintendo.
Two roads, PC and console.
No interference with each other.
But it will also take a lot of energy. The money spent on research and development alone is not small. As for leaving it all to Reflecta... that would be making wedding clothes for them.
Lin Yao doesn't want to make wedding clothes for others.
Besides.
Linmu Studio is making money from online games and game platforms now, and it feels too stupid to wade into the console muddy water.
So forget it.
"Let's make the Vaporwave game platform first."
Lin Yao stretched out her white and tender arms and stretched her waist in a cute and innocent way.
She had just made up her mind.
The phone on the table rang again.
Lin Yao put down her arm, thinking it was still Zhang Jianghu, so she picked up the phone and asked, "Anything else? Mr. Zhang?"
"...Oh, my daughter's formal address is quite interesting. She has grown up and calls others Mr. Zhang. Why don't you try calling me Mr. Lin?"
A nonchalant voice came from the other end of the phone. It was her father.
"..."
Lin Yao was stunned for a moment, then said unhappily: "Okay, Mr. Lin, is that okay?"
"Hahaha."
Lin Bing, the father of the two sisters, seemed quite happy to hear Lin Yao's address and laughed.
"What's the matter? You can't just want me to call you and call you Mr. Lin, right?"
Lin Yao heard the laughter and felt helpless. In her memory, the father of the two sisters seemed to be like this since they were young.
It's very out of tune.
Lin Bing barely stopped laughing and said: "Come back early in the evening, Xiaoyao, I haven't seen you for a long time, let's meet."
