Lin Chaoxu nodded, Right, what do you think about Thunderbolt Poker?

That might be a completely original playstyle. I cant tell the potential it has just from playing it for ten minutes, but so far I think we should be wary of it.

Its playstyle is similar to that of Golden or Five-card stud, but these two card gas arent popular, and dont even co close to Dou Dizhu in China.

Golden Flower relies heavily on luck as everyone is completely blind to everything else other than their own cards, so its more like gambling where intelligence does not play a part at all.

On the other hand, as Five-card stud has a hidden card and a revealed card, there is too much information, ruining any chance for mind gas, making it difficult to beco popular.

The design for Thunderbolt Poker probably took inspiration from both of them. The players could use the community cards to determine how good the hands of their opponents are, but still incorporating so elents hidden from the players, making it more competitive.

However, I think we still need to observe if these changes are successful. Moreover, its a completely new card ga after all, aning all the players will need to start fresh. Even if it were to beco popular, it would take a long ti.

During this ti, we could also look into inventing other card gas.

Lin Chaoxu asked, If we make this card ga as well, there arent any legal consequences right?

Wu Zhao nodded, There arent any legal risks. Card gas are considered rules and thods for ntal workouts and arent subject to copyright. That ans that everybody can do it.

That ans according to your analysis, this ca wouldnt be a big problem for Emperor Dynasty during the short term, and would have no chance at converting players from our platform, said Lin Chaoxu

Wu Zhao replied after so thought, You could put it that way.

Then what if the ga was promoted on the front page of Emperor Dynasty gaming platform? asked Lin Chaoxu.

Wu Zhao was confused, Huh?

Rember when Qiu Bin and Chen Mo made a bet? This was the ga he wanted to put onto the promotional spot for a month, explained Lin Chaoxu.

Wu Zhao scowled, Mr Lin, arent we just handing them the advantage we have?

Thats why Im asking you how big the effect would be, replied Lin Chaoxu.

Wu Zhao was put in a bad spot, and said after a few monts, There will probably be so effect, but it shouldnt be too problematic. That was made by Chen Mo? Why doesnt he promote I Am MT? Why would he promote a tabletop ga?

Lin Chaoxu said, All that matters is that it wouldnt cause too many problems. Youll have to answer the other questions yourself.

Wu Zhao nodded, Yes, I understand. But Mr Lin, this guy has many ideas, we should probably keep an eye on him to prevent him from gaining anymore.

Yeah, I understand. Follow the rest of this developnt. The promotional spot isnt much, but my main concern is him taking too many of our players, acknowledged Lin Chaoxu.

Wu Zhao nodded, I understand, leaving the office afterwards.

Lin Chaoxu was deep in his thoughts.

This guy wants players instead of money? This kid has quite the ambition.

Lin Chaoxu also thought that Chen Mo wouldve wanted to promote I Am MT as it had strong profitability. Combined with the support from Emperor Dynasty gambling platform, it shouldnt be a problem to double his monthly inco, maybe even pushing the fifty million mark.

By that ti Chen Mo would be increasing his net profits by more than ten million a month.

But Chen Mo chose to give up that money, instead choosing to promote tabletop gas?

This kind of courage wasnt one an average person would have.

Lin Chaoxu could easily tell Chen Mos intent.

Tabletop gas dont bring in money, and its revenue could never compete with I Am MT, but the main selling point of tabletop gas was that it made it cheap to acquire players. Combined with the newly released Thunderbolt Gaming Platform, it was obvious that this play was to drive users to his platform.

However, it didnt matter even if Lin Chaoxu knew what he planned, Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt would never use dirty moves just because of Chen Mos potential threat as there were many spectators waiting for drama.

Can tabletop gas not make money?

It doesnt exist in the parallel world, but in Chen Mos previous world, tabletop gas were one of the hidden money makers.

The reason was because of the various shady thods the videoga designers of the previous world did that the videoga designers of this world havent thought of yet.

However, Chen Mo didnt plan to profit from this.

Why were tabletop gas not profitable? Because players lacked the drive to continue spending money. The noobs who keep losing wouldnt win from spending money, and would quickly realise how aningless the money they spent were. Other gas might give them an advantage if they pay, but if you were bad at tabletop gas and kept spending money, you may as well donate that money.

The players who were good werent willing to spend money either, as they could earn beans using their skills. Moreover, one the players reach a certain amount of beans, such as tens or hundreds of millions, the beans wouldnt make a difference anymore, they would have no point in spending money, and the players would slowly lose interest.

Therefore, more often than not money goes into tabletop gas and nothing cos out, usually resulting in losses. The desire to buy in-app purchases for most players are heavily suppressed.

This ant that it was common knowledge in the industry that tabletop gas made no money.

The in ga currency for tabletop gas, such as Happy Beans were strictly banned against converting into real money. The law states that any tabletop ga that allows exchange of currency both ways are considered gambling, making it illegal.

Once convicted, not only would the ga need to be taken off the market, the maker might need to face jail ti.

And in Chen Mos previous life, most makers of the ga rode on the grey area to evade prosecution to make money.

For example, if the currency exchange was set overseas, and the currency exchanger allowed conversion both ways, the developer would take a cut as profit.

And in ga, through the use of private rooms, players would be able to move the currency between accounts. The player would then be able to exchange that for real currency using the overseas currency exchanger.

Many tabletop gas companies would profit this way, and so of these companies would make tens of millions this way through tens of thousands of their players.

Texas hold em was especially guilty of this. Ninety nine percent of Texas hold em gas used this model and would rake in scary amounts of profit.

However, Chen Mo decided to keep this secret to himself forever, wishing that this model would never appear in the videoga industry of this world.
