In the studio, Chen Mo was thinking about how to promote League of Legends.
Even though League of Legends was a ga with strong popularity, early marketing strategies were still very important. This was because Thunderbolt gaming platforms current distribution network was far from Penguins in his previous life.
Moreover, League of Legends had a much weaker player base in this world.
In Lin Jies previous life, DOTA had been the best of the best. When League of Legends hit the market, it happened to be at a critical period. DOTA was very popular among young people, especially among students, but its developnt was limited by many factors such as popularity, ranking chanism, difficulty of getting started, cheating, and so on.
League of Legends had beco less difficult to get started with, and with the powerful operation and promotion ability of Penguin, it gradually beca popular.
Putting aside their grudges, it was an undeniable fact that League of Legends had taken advantage of DOTA. After all, DOTA was the pioneer of this market.
But what about this world?
Although COG had the prototype of a MOBA ga, it was still an imperfect map. It was still far from DOTA.
The Warcraft player base was much smaller than in his previous life, and only a small number of players had actually co into contact with COG.
One could imagine that when Chen Mo released League of Legends, most players would be what kind of ga is this and not wow, theres finally a reliable MOBA ga.
Therefore, he had to think about how to promote League of Legends.
Just as he was thinking about it, the phone on the table rang.
Chen Zhao picked it up and saw that it was an unknown number from Shanghai.
Chen Mo picked up.
A mans voice ca from the other end of the phone. He was very polite.Hello, are you Mr. Chen Mo from Thunderbolt entertainnt?
Its ,Chen Zhao said.
The male voice on the other end of the line said,Hello. Let introduce myself first. Im the person-in-charge of GAs Shanghai branch. You can call Peter.
Chen Mo frowned. Peter?
Although it was an English na, he spoke Chinese very well, so he shouldnt be a foreigner. On second thought, Chen Mo felt that it was normal to use an English na since he was an executive in a foreign company.
GA had a branch in Shanghai, which matched the location of the phone number.
Hello, Chen Zhao said.Whats the matter?
Its like this,Peter said, our GA headquarters are currently working on a new ga called COG. Im not sure if youre aware of this. As this ga was originally a map from your ga, Warcraft, and used a lot of resources from the ga, wed like to ask if you could sell us the art rights? Of course, we can discuss the price.
Im not selling, Chen Zhao said without thinking.
Ahem. Peter coughed twice and said,Mr. Chen Mo, its just so art copyrights. Actually, with GAs research and art level, its not difficult to make a ga that completely surpasses Warcraft. The reason why we want to buy your art copyrights is mainly to continue the players habit of COGs original graphics and to ensure the gas consistency
Im not selling it, Chen Zhao said.If theres nothing else, Im hanging up.
Please wait a mont! Peter was a little surprised by Chen Mos firm attitude. He didnt even ask about the price.You should know that GA is a very strong and financially sound company. As for these copyrights
Oh, how about one billion for a hero?
Huh?
This ti, Peter was flabbergasted. 1 billion?
Your hero is made of gold? Besides, even if it was made of gold, it couldnt be worth so much money!
Peter probed,You an, Yuan?
No, dollar, Chen Zhao said.
Peter
One billion dollars for a hero, why not just Rob it? Does that an that if COG were to produce 30 heroes, it would have to spend 30 billion?
Thats already the value of the entire GA company!
Peter was a little unhappy. Clearly, Chen Mos attitude was insincere.Mr. Chen Zhao, I dont know the reason, but I feel like you might have so misunderstanding
Theres no misunderstanding, Chen Mo said.Ive already told you that I wont sell anything in Warcraft.
By the way, please tell Clive Lehmann that although COG is a good map, its still far from perfect in my opinion. The nerdy Chinese will make a ga that completely overpowers cog.
Mr. Chen Mo
Before he could finish, Chen Zhao had already hung up.
Actually, buying and selling copyrights wasnt a rare thing. It wasnt a big deal at all. To most ga companies, as long as they had enough money, anything could be discussed.
As for why Chen Zhao was so determined?
Firstly, Warcrafts IP value was hard to asure with money, and since COG was a competitor, Chen Mo couldnt possibly shoot himself in the foot for short-term benefits. Secondly, Chen Zhao was very unhappy with their contemptuous attitude.
Clearly, Clive Lehman and GA were looking down on themselves.
Clive Ramon didnt believe that Chen Mo could make a ga like COG, while the GA thought, isnt it just the art rights for a few heroes? It was just a small company in a developing country. He could just buy the copyright with so money.
Moreover, Chen Mo didnt have a good impression of the GA. They would eventually beco his opponents, so he didnt need to worry about their feelings.
However, Chen Mo knew that changing art resources wasnt difficult for a GA, and it wouldnt have much of an impact on COG.
After all, there werent many players in COG right now. When the ti ca, the nas of the heroes, the models, and more new heroes would be changed, and the players would definitely slowly accept it.
However, at least they had to struggle a little more.
The following period of ti seed to be rather calm.
Even though Emperor dynasty entertainnt and fantasy gaming platform had the largest distribution platform Alliance in the country, there were still many independent video ga designers who chose to release their gas on Chen Mos platform.
In the end, it was because this new channel lacked a decisive product to prove its power.
Just like during the war of live streaming platforms, poaching strears through price wars was only a ans. The real way to highlight the foundation and hard power of a live streaming platform was to create gods.
It doesnt matter if you poached my popular strear. Ill promote another big strear in a month or two, even more popular than the one you poached.
It was the sa for distributors. It didnt matter how many players they had. They could only prove their strength if they could release a harvest-level PC or VR ga.
As such, before a ga like this appeared, all the players and designers were just sitting back and watching. Even though Chen Mos Thunderbolt gaming platform was in a disadvantageous position, it was still too early to say that Emperor dynasty and divine fantasy would win.
The key was to see how Emperor dynasty and divine illusion would perform in the next ga.
