Giant of the times

At this moment, there was a commotion in the audience.

Fortunately, there were many security guards to maintain order, and no one reacted excessively.

There are many game developers in the audience, and they are the targets of Li Zetian's wooing!

Third-party game developers are very sensitive to the existence of the Battle.net platform. After all, Li Zetian just said that future Flamingo games will be released on the Battle.net platform. Flamingo is also the world's largest game publishing company, and many third-party game developers rely on Flamingo to publish their games. In other words, their future games may also be released on the Battle.net platform.

However, third-party game developers are very unsure about this innovative and bold method of game distribution.

Li Zetian said solemnly: "With the development of the Internet, we must recognize the reality that computer games can be downloaded online. For example, the contents of game discs are posted online by players, and then spread wildly! In this regard, we obviously Nothing can be done!”

In the audience, the retailers and game developers all looked deep in thought, looking deep in thought. Li Zetian's words touched on their pain points, and many people hated the Internet in their hearts.

Li Zetian continued: "Times have changed, we must make changes, so the Battle.net platform came into being!"

“The Battle.net platform provides paid downloads of games, but we all know that players will eventually download these games from other illegal channels. Therefore, the biggest core competitiveness of the Battle.net platform is that Battle.net can provide a large number of game players with a A platform for online battles! Only genuine paid players can compete online through the Battle.net platform!"

"Here, I solemnly declare that if other platforms illegally use games published by Flamingo Company, we will definitely take legal measures and severely punish them!"

"Players who want to play "Counter-Strike" online must log in to the Battle.net platform, and only the Battle.net platform!!!"

When he said the last few words, Li Zetian's tone was particularly serious, as if with a murderous intent.

Since the Battle.net platform is a paid platform, if it is not stopped, those free platforms will definitely develop rapidly and threaten the status of the Battle.net platform. Wouldn't it be a wedding dress for others? Therefore, Li Zetian emphasized that other platforms cannot use games published by Flamingo Company, which prevents the development and growth of these platforms.

As a result, the popularity of the Battle.net platform will become higher and higher.

As long as third-party game developers are not stupid, they will choose to publish their games on the Battle.net platform. The more games there are on the Battle.net platform, the more players it will naturally attract. If this virtuous cycle continues, the Battle.net platform will become the world's largest game launch platform!

Of course, once the Battle.net platform comes out, there will definitely be imitators. But Li Zetian is very confident in his heart. As long as he brings out the classic game from his previous life, who can compete with him?

At this moment, after what Li Zetian said, many game developers' eyes lit up. At the same time, they also understood the direction of future game development: the era of stand-alone games is gradually receding, and games must be able to be connected to the Internet!

The retailers in the audience looked around and saw that third-party game developers were moving closer to Flamingo Company. Their hearts sank, and their faces suddenly became clouded.

After Li Zetian introduced the Battle.net platform, he then started to introduce "Red Alert".

In the game "Red Alert", players can collect resources, upgrade buildings, build troops to attack, etc. It is actually a modification based on "Dune Castle". Based on the real country, the confrontation between the two major alliances headed by the Soviet Union and the United States As the background, players can freely choose a country, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, etc...

"Dune Castle" is the first real-time strategy game. Many people in the audience have studied "Dune Castle" in depth, but "Red Alert" still shocked them.

"Red Alert" seems to have raised the real-time strategy game to a new level. Whether it is the graphics, game diversity, balance, story background, sense of substitution, or various combat modes such as two-person confrontation and four-person team battle, it makes People's eyes light up.

The game competition of "Red Alert" was played on the screen, and Li Zetian acted as the game commentator. He spoke vividly and interestingly. From time to time, he made jokes based on the game situation. People couldn't help but be surprised that Li Zetian was actually a game commentator. The staff is also so interesting.

Li Zetian thought it was nothing. He probably watched a lot of game commentary in his previous life and picked up some of their characteristics.

Although "Red Alert" is not as shocking as "Counter-Strike", it is still a classic, and many people now express their love for it!

The third-party game developers in the audience were very emotional.

"Flamingo Company can grow the Battle.net platform just by relying on the two games "Counter-Strike" and "Red Alert"! If we want to release games in the future, we still have to rely on Flamingo Company!"

"Both games are highly confrontational and are competitive games, with online battles being the core highlight! And "Counter-Strike" and "Red Alert" can only be played online on the Battle.net platform, and other game platforms It can’t grow at all.”

"As long as the genius Chronos Li is in charge of Flamingo Company, we will have to stand tall and look up!"

"Oh, who says it's not the case! I just don't know what percentage of the revenue Flamingo Company will receive if we publish the game on the Battle.net platform..."

"It's probably the same as releasing a game on the Flamingo console platform, with a 20% to 30% charge, right?" a game developer said uncertainly.

Li Zetian did not announce at the press conference how much he would charge third-party game developers. This matter obviously depends on the specific situation of the other company. If the other company is very famous and the games it develops are very popular, Flamingo Company will naturally charge less from them.

The entire press conference lasted for more than two hours before ending.

After everyone left the scene, some were happy and some were worried.

But there is no doubt that Flamingo Company is famous again and will soon shock the entire gaming world!

Counter-Strike and Red Alert are about to take the world by storm!

The Battle.net platform has become something that all physical game retailers are talking about.

By the next morning, hundreds of retailers had signed a threat to Flamingo.

At this moment, Li Zetian was at Flamingo Company. He looked at several retail representatives outside the office through the glass window with a sneer on his face.

Bushnell had a slightly sad look on his face: "Mr. Li, more than 300 retailers are now strongly opposed to the Battle.net platform. They said that once the Battle.net platform is launched, they will collectively remove Flamingo's games! "
