The ga Billionaire was not originally created by William White. In fact, he bought the adaptation rights for the ga.
Its predecessor was a ga called Monopoly, developed in 1904. Although it appeared simple, it had many tricks, and without so business strategy, you wouldn't play the ga well.
Decades passed, and while the initial enthusiasm of players had waned, it was no longer sothing people were obsessed over.
However, what does it an to have over 500 million players worldwide?
William White's visit to Legendary World this ti was primarily to check on the progress of this ga.
Other ideas could be postponed; there was no need to rush them onto the shelves. Offering too much to consurs at once could lead to choice paralysis.
But Billionaire could not be delayed. This ga was peculiar. When the economy was booming, its audience was limited. However, whenever the economy beca strange or poor, this ga, which was all the rage decades ago, would resurface for people to mull over.
The computer version ga launched by Legendary World was not just a simple copy. Tis had changed, and the forrly significant components like the water company and power plant needed to be reduced in importance.
Designing this ga required not only considering the ga background but also financial rules. However, you couldn't make it too complicated; if playing a ga required a manual, no one would play it.
"So, have you tried it internally?"
"Sir, this is the most popular computer ga in the company right now."
"Hmm, not bad. We need to expand the playtest group and organize a Monopoly tournant. Let the winners form a team."
"Alright, sir, I'll organize it right away."
"Hype up this topic a bit. If playing gas could make money, wouldn't that drive people crazy?"
William White certainly did not guess wrong. When talking about the most familiar board gas, card gas co first, followed by Monopoly.
Monopoly has been a much-loved intellectual ga in Arica for decades.
...
The Legendary World tournant quickly stirred up huge waves with a level of excitent that even the initiator was dumbfounded by.
"William, why didn't you tell about this big move? I'm pretty good at Monopoly."
"Big move, my foot. The champion only gets 200,000 dollars, and the regional champions get just 50,000. Who would have thought this would happen?"
"Hey, didn't you design this?"
"It wasn't a design. Barry Diller just complained about getting dizzy from doing Arican Idol. Now suddenly there's this, and he's having a headache."
"Wouldn't the ratings not be very high?"
"Yeah, I thought so too, but Barry Diller thinks it's promising."
"Is that okay?"
"Heh, I don't know either. Since my team is interested, let's just go with the flow."
William White really didn't expect it. He couldn't rember this ga being very popular. Generally, it should have been just a lukewarm ga, unclear as to why this was happening.
To be honest, he was sowhat anxious. What if the ga went off course, losing popularity? If it didn't sell well, he'd beco a laughingstock.
He had many ideas, but even if it failed, it wouldn't impact the overall situation much. The ga of Billionaire wasn't a one-ti thing, so even if a couple of versions didn't sell well, it wouldn't have much impact.
With this wave of promotion, it seed hard not to make money from this ga.
...
The only ones feeling troubled were the Japanese, who discovered their train of thought couldn't keep up with the rhythm.
The impact extended beyond the ga industry. Since it was a PC ga, a bunch of enthusiastic folks imdiately started hyping it, claiming their PCs were the most suitable for gaming.
Today's big boss was indeed lucky. Nowadays, Silicon Valley was developing rapidly, filling the gaps left by other industries. Essentially, he was just picking up a wallet soone else dropped.
Wall Street elites didn't expect a ga to stir such a storm. Without seeing it with their own eyes, they'd never have believed it.
A bunch of IT-related stocks surged, leaving everyone baffled. Could there really be such a big impact?
"William, could you give a heads up before making such a big move next ti?"
"George, would you believe if I said this was an accident?"
"Co on, you're not serious, are you?"
"Do I need to lie to you? Dang it, I wasn't even prepared beforehand. Now the tournant is all over the place. Why are so many people signing up?"
"Are you serious?"
"The software was ready; I just wasn't sure if the players had any opinions. I originally budgeted 2 million dollars, but now I can't keep it under 10 million. What do you think?"
"Is that so? So folks think your ga fits well with the current situation."
"Heh, what does the current situation have to do with Elephants? However, since you said that, I can go along with it."
"Haha, it's settled then."
With more participants, there's more room for showing off. An intellectual ga for all to enjoy feels quite highbrow.
William White was busy as a bee, and his female confidantes were losing their composure. They were rely teasing him, but he actually ran off. That wasn't what they intended.
Unfortunately, this ti he genuinely planned to live a quieter life. Health was very important. If he ssed around now, he might need the little blue pill at forty, which wasn't a good thing.
