Giant of the times

Men generally like guns. For the game "Counter-Strike", Li Zetian also has a special liking. He especially likes to use sniper rifles, sniping, blind sniping and other skills, and he is very good at it. When Li Zetian traveled through time, the "Counter-Strike" series of games was still one of the most popular games in the world, such as "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive", which was more realistic than "Counter-Strike" and was deeply loved by players.

Li Zetian missed "Counter-Strike" very much, so he thought of developing "Counter-Strike" just after formulating the Internet cafe project in China. In terms of the current technological level of this era, it is enough to develop "Counter-Strike".

Li Zetian then turned to look at several people in charge of Westwood Studios. "Red Alert" is a very classic real-time strategy game. Before the development of "StarCraft", it was also very popular.

The game operation and graphics of "Red Alert" are not as sophisticated as "StarCraft", so Li Zetian did not choose to develop "StarCraft", but developed "Red Alert".

"Dune Castle" is the world's first real-time strategy game, developed by Westwood Studios, which has experience in the development of real-time strategy games. In addition, "Red Alert" was originally developed by Westwood Studios in its previous life, so it is most appropriate for this game to be developed by Westwood Studios.

Li Zetian told them: "In the game "Red Alert", players can collect resources, upgrade buildings, build troops to attack, etc. It is actually modified on the basis of "Dune Castle". According to the real country, two countries headed by the Soviet Union and the United States. Against the background of the confrontation between major alliances, players can freely choose countries, such as the United States, Britain, Germany, etc..."

The eyes of several people in charge of Westwood Studios suddenly lit up. "Red Alert" is very similar to "Dune", but with Li Zetian's changes, the game has a more immersive and national mission.

At this time, Li Zetian specifically reminded: "Real-time strategy games pay great attention to balance. Each country's weapons and equipment cannot be too powerful, otherwise it will easily destroy a game."

"Yeah!" Everyone nodded, naturally understanding the importance of game balance.

Li Zetian said: "I will send you the specific game designs of "Counter-Strike" and "Red Alert" later. Now, I want to say one more important thing."

As he spoke, Li Zetian glanced around the crowd and said slowly: "Both "Counter-Strike" and "Red Alert" can be connected to the Internet, not just the local area network, but also the Internet, so that players around the world can compete online." After a pause, Li Zetian said loudly, "With this, I want to establish the 'Battle.net' platform on the Internet, allowing players to pay to download games directly on the Internet, and compete through the 'Battle.net' platform! In the video game industry, Huo Lie Bird Company has become the dominant player with the Flamingo game console, and all third-party game developers have to rely on us. In the computer game industry, I hope that the 'Battle.net' platform can become our most important platform like the Flamingo game console. weapons to allow third-party game developers to publish games on the platform!”

After Li Zetian finished speaking, the people present were dumbfounded, with shocked expressions on their faces. They looked at Li Zetian dreamily, surprised by his talent and strategy.

It turns out that developing Counter-Strike and Red Alert is not that important.

The drunkard's intention is not to drink. Building the "Battle.net" platform is the most important task of Flamingo Company.

"Mr. Li, I admire you so much. How did you come up with the idea of ​​building the 'Battle.net' platform?" Bushnell looked at the high-spirited Li Zetian and sighed in his heart. Chronos Li's genius is always so... Stunning!

John Carmack and others also looked at Li Zetian with deep admiration. At this time, they couldn't help but feel proud of joining the Flamingo Company.

"The genius idea of ​​the Battle.net platform is really eye-catching and surprising. Chronos Li is indeed the most talented person in history. With Flamingo Company, which company can compete with him?" John Carmack said at this time I can't help but feel sad and pity for other companies.

The Flamingo game console dominates the world, causing third-party game developers to follow the Flamingo company.

Now, if the Battle.net platform is successfully built, the computer game industry will be dominated by Flamingo Company, which will be simply terrifying.

Everyone present was very smart. After Li Zetian talked about the Battle.net platform, they all realized the importance of Battle.net. It is no worse than the Flamingo game console!

Seeing how shocked they were, Li Zetian smiled and said: "With the development of the Internet, the importance of Battle.net will become increasingly prominent. If "Counter-Strike" and "Red Alert" are both very popular, it will be easy for the Battle.net platform to development. In the future, the computer games of Flamingo Company will be released directly on Battle.net, and players can pay to download them. There is no need to go to the store to buy game discs, which is much more convenient. As long as the popularity of the Battle.net platform is high, third-party game developers Naturally, they will be willing to publish games on Battle.net. After that, in a virtuous cycle, the Battle.net platform can become the largest game publishing platform in the world!!!"

Li Zetian's words made everyone very excited. As the company's CEO, Bushnell quickly discovered the problem and couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Li, if players download the game, it is easy to copy it and then spread it on the Internet. Wouldn't this harm our interests?"

Li Zetian smiled and said: "Bushnell, you are right to worry. However, in the Internet era, the game charging model has changed."

After speaking, Li Zetian looked at Bushnell and others, and did not tell them immediately, but let them think. As the world's richest man and the helmsman of countless companies, Li Zetian is incapable of doing everything himself, so many things still need to be done by themselves.

Everyone saw that Li Zetian was considering them, so they all started thinking.

Bushnell frowned and murmured: "The game charging model has changed? What exactly has changed? On the Internet, games can be uploaded and downloaded at will. This is definitely an important blow to game developers..."

John Carmack thoughtfully said: "The change in game charging model must be related to the Internet?"

"..."

Li Zetian smiled lightly and sipped red wine leisurely.

Dongfang Yuqin, who was sitting next to him, had a smile on her eyebrows. She already knew what the game's charging model was. When she thought of the first time she heard it, she couldn't help but be extremely surprised and admired. She just didn't know if people like them could think of it...

After Li Zetian slowly drank a glass of wine, he asked: "Have you figured it out yet?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Mr. Li, please stop being so secretive and tell me quickly!" Bushnell said with a smile.
