Chapter 1654: "Legend of the Galactic Heroes"

Alliance against the forest. Regarding the alliance plan proposed by "e", "Ubisoft" and "Nintendo", the strength of the rest of "Second World" is obvious to all, especially the terrifying number of online players in the two public tests of "World War", which makes this game company feel uneasy. Now "World War" has not been publicly tested, so players can play it as they please, and it has no impact on these game companies.

But what if "World War" is publicly tested? There are only so many people in the world. Putting aside the people who can't play games (the elderly and young children), and those who are not interested in games, and those who can't play games because of something, the number of game players in the world is more optimistically estimated to be less than 100 million. Of the less than 100 million game player group, "World War" will account for about 700 million. Tell me, how can these game companies survive?

Especially online games are usually the most time-consuming games, with hundreds or even several There are many players who have played for thousands of hours. When everyone goes to play World War, who will play their games?

Alliance against Lin seems to be the only way out. But what are the benefits of their alliance? Alliance, alliance, there must be benefits. Although everyone has a common enemy-Lin Feng, how to fight Lin Feng after the alliance? This is not a battlefield where both sides agree on how many soldiers and generals to attack cities and plunder. This is the business world, and it is a very special game world. For the president of this company, this kind of alliance does not seem to have any benefits. On the contrary, offending Lin Feng will cause big trouble. This person has always been a revenger.

"Everyone, I know you are wondering what benefits there will be after the alliance. I think there are no real practical benefits. There are only some hopes, a hope that can prevent Lin Feng from dominating the game world. ”——“e” President Peter Moore said in a deep voice.

The president of o game company frowned. There is no practical benefit, but he has to offend such a troublesome person as Lin Feng. This is not worthwhile.

Thinking of this, the president of o game company was full of disdain. If things go wrong, the three companies of “e”, “Ubisoft” and “Nintendo” are ready to use them as guns, let them charge in the front, and reap the fruits of victory in the back. And after the alliance, who will give orders? And after the alliance, if you want to deal with Lin Feng, you must spend money. Who will pay for this money? If you get benefits, how to divide it? These are all problems.

“Everyone, we are very sincere. This alliance is definitely for everyone’s sake. In order to preserve a piece of pure land in the game industry and prevent Lin Feng from monopolizing the game industry, such an alliance was established. In this alliance, everyone’s status is equal, and there is no meaning of who commands who. As for all the expenses that may be spent in the future, I think everyone is a business elite, this should not be a problem, follow the old rules. As for the division of benefits, it is even simpler. The method of dividing equally is definitely unrealistic. I believe that no one will agree with this kind of ** approach. Therefore, I think everyone should have no problem with dividing according to everyone's contribution." - Explained by Yves Gullymott, President of "Ubisoft".

The president of a game company nodded.

This is true, but everyone is still a little hesitant to confront Lin Feng directly. After all, there is no direct conflict between them and Lin Feng at present. It is not worthwhile to offend Lin Feng rashly and confront Lin Feng head-on at this time. Lin Feng's character is not the traditional Chinese character. Everything is peaceful, peaceful, but this guy is quite unpeaceful. If you offend him, he will definitely fight you endlessly. It is not worthwhile to fight Lin Feng to the death.

"Everyone, there is an old saying in China - prepare for a rainy day, and do everything in advance, otherwise it will be too late to cram at the last minute. Do you want to watch Lin Feng monopolize the game industry in the end? Look at China. Before Lin Feng came out, there were hundreds of game companies in China. But now, apart from a few companies like Giant and Yi, how many game companies are there? And Lin Feng also holds a large share in Giant and Yi. The current game environment in China is the world game environment in ten or five years. Do you want it to be like this? "-"Nintendo" President Iwata Satoru said with a serious face.

"The world game environment is different from the domestic game environment!" The president of the American DS Entertainment Company snorted coldly.

Iwata Satoru smiled coldly.

"Indeed, the world game environment is different from the domestic game environment, but don't forget that the American companies V1ve and Blizzard have been acquired by Lin Feng. It is no exaggeration to say that the second world is the most well-known company in the world. The future belongs to the Internet, and games will gradually enter the network game era from the stand-alone game era. Lin Feng not only owns Baidu Yahoo, but also owns 1.5% of GGE. Who do you think can compete with Lin Feng in the next few years? "Iwata said sarcastically.

o game company's face turned cold. Indeed, Lin Feng has such a huge network advantage. In this network era, Lin Feng's advantage is too great. However, they don't want to conflict with Lin Feng now. Because Lin Feng is too vindictive. If they can defeat Lin Feng in one fell swoop, that would be great. If they can't defeat Lin Feng, then, when Lin Feng retaliates, they will be worried.

Besides, there is another fundamental problem. How can they compete with Lin Feng after they form an alliance? It is impossible for everyone to form an alliance and then contribute some money to buy some mercenaries to assassinate Lin Feng. That is a common method used on the battlefield, not in the business world. The business world can only attack competitors through commercial means, not directly assassinate. Of course, some very despicable and incompetent people will use this method, but they will not. Because they are just the presidents of the company, not the owners of the company.

In other words, even if the company collapses, they can only find a job in another place, and at most they will be unemployed. But if they choose to assassinate Lin Feng, they will go to jail. Compared with unemployment and imprisonment, which is lighter and heavier is obvious at a glance.

A group of old foxes! ——The presidents of the three companies "e", "Ubisoft" and "Nintendo" looked at each other and cursed in their hearts.

These people naturally hope to defeat Lin Feng and then encroach on the market of "Second World", but they don't want to offend Lin Feng rashly without any feasible plan. If they want to offend Lin Feng and create a god, the three game companies must come up with a feasible plan.

"Everyone, our three companies have a very feasible plan. The current flagship product of "Second World" is "World War", a billion-dollar game." Speaking of billions of dollars, Iwata's heart trembled. This damn Lin Feng is too rich. He actually spent billions of dollars to develop a game. This is really too exaggerated.

Not only Iwata was a little helpless, but the other game companies were also depressed about this number. They are also the best game companies in the world, but it is difficult for them to spend billions of dollars to develop a game!

"So, as long as World War cannot reap the expected profits, Second World will be in trouble. Don't forget that World War has invested more than 10000 game-level servers worldwide, and its operating and maintenance costs are over 10,000 US dollars a day. If World War cannot make enough profits, it will deal a fatal blow to Second World." Iwata snorted.

"Mr. Iwata, do you mean to compete with World War? Have 'e', ​​'Ubisoft', and 'Nintendo' already launched a similar online game?" Jeff Bell, president of Microsoft's gaming division, asked in confusion.

"No, our three companies have not launched similar games." - Peter Moore, president of "e".

"Then how are you going to compete with World War? You can't just shout slogans here. Competition in the gaming world depends on excellent games, not brands, reputations, or fame." Jeff Bell said coldly.

"President Bell, don't worry. Although we don't have it now, it doesn't mean we won't have it in the future." - Yves Gullymott, President of Ubisoft, said confidently, "We now have a game script in our hands - "Legend of the Galactic Heroes", which is adapted from an interstellar science fiction novel. It has a huge market in Asia, Europe, and America, especially in China, where it is very popular."

Jeff Bell and others showed a thoughtful look. They have also heard of the name of "Legend of the Galactic Heroes". Many people have also read it. This interstellar science fiction novel written by a Japanese is really great. Moreover, interstellar TV series and movies in the United States are very popular now. If "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" is adapted into an online game, it would be really good. In particular, this science fiction novel is very pleasing because it has two protagonists. One of the protagonists, Reinhard von Lohengram, is a typical Westerner, and the other protagonist, Yang Weili, is a typical Asian, or a Chinese. It can be said that this novel is quite pleasing, and both Orientals and Westerners like it.

"Everyone, the world described in "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" is a very vast world. If it is adapted into an online game, it will be comparable to "World War" in the "Second World". No, it will be even better. Because "World War" is just a war game, and "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" also has the plot and the charm of the protagonist that are enough to attract anyone, which is incomparable to "World War". "Satoru Iwata said proudly.

The reason why "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" was adapted into an online game this time was that Satoru Iwata wanted to fight against "World War" in the "Second World". In Satoru Iwata's view, "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" is the most famous science fiction novel in Japan and a classic masterpiece by Master Yoshiki Tada. In Japan, games about "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" have been emerging one after another, and each game has a good sales rate. "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" is actually the most suitable for adaptation into an online game,

but because the Japanese game industry does not pay too much attention to the online game market, it has not been adapted into an online game. In addition, if you want to adapt "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" into an online game, you really need an extremely excellent game development team, otherwise it will ruin this masterpiece. The reason why Iwata proposed this time was that he believed that the strength of the United Game Company was enough to change this epic masterpiece into the most outstanding online game in order to compete with "World War", and at the same time, it was also to promote the great modernization.

Of course, the most important thing is that there are many, many fans of "Bank Heroes" in China. Before this, Satoru Iwata once conducted a survey. There are at least over 100 million readers in China who have read "Heroes of the Galaxy", and more than 0% of them have read it at least once, and more than 0% of them have read it more than once. There are many ardent fans of "Heroes of the Galaxy" in China, and they argue endlessly every day about who is better, Reinhard von Lohenkramm or Yang Wen-li.

Therefore, if "Galaxy Heroes ne" is enthusiastically welcomed in China and eventually exceeds the popularity of "War of the Worlds", Iwata believes that Lin Feng's expression will be very, very exciting. Wonderful and unparalleled. For Satoru Iwata, being able to defeat Lin Feng at his home court is definitely the happiest thing in the world. This is also a perfect response to Lin Feng's establishment of the "Second Game Company" in Japan, which is the best weapon to invade the Japanese game market.

"Mr. Satoru Iwata, this plan is indeed good. But what I want to ask is that currently, "War of the Worlds" will be in public beta in a few months, and "Galaxy Heroes" seems to be still in the planning stage. According to an online game Calculating the release period, it will take at least 20 years for "Heroes of the Galaxy" to be released. In this year, I am afraid that "World War" will have already unified the market. How can "Legend of the Galaxy" compete with Lin Feng? Before "Heroes of the Galaxy" is released, our game company might be acquired by Lin Feng!" - said the president of S company with a frown.

The presidents of the remaining nine game companies nodded. This is a very fatal question. Time, do they have time now?

"Haha, everyone, don't worry. We have already planned this." Iwata's eyes flashed with a sharp look.
