Qiu Jiang didn't think much of it, "GA may be a big company, but they make a lot of crappy games every year. They often buy over smaller studios, as long as they think the game has the slightest bit of potential, they don't care if it's successful or not."
Lin Chaoxu shook his head, "You're right, but GA is serious this time. A few of their executives have high hopes for this game."
Qin Xiao frowned, "Why?"
Lin Chaoxu said, "I've tried out the game, and I think the same as GA. It's a genre that has a lot of potential, and it's most unique feature is its creativity. "
Lin Chaoxu gave the three a brief introduction of COG's core playstyle, strategy points, and the main fun points.
Qin Xiao thought for a bit, "Playing the same map back and forth, is it a new experience every time?"
Lin Chaoxu nodded, "Actually, you can think of it as an RTS game where you only need to control one unit, which lowers the barrier to entry. Different heroes suit different players, five people working together to achieve victory, and the pace is almost the same as an RTS game. These are all its advantages. "
Qiu Jiang nodded, "The fast pace is an advantage. One of the biggest problems with MMORPGs is that character levels and equipment need to be accumulated over time. It's hard for new players to keep up with the old players, and the level difference creates a natural divide between players."
She thought for a bit and said, "But if the game takes away growth, wouldn't the players lack a long-term goal?"
Qin Xiao shook his head, "That won't happen, just look at FPS and RTS games. The advantage of FPS games is that they're easy to pick up, fast paced, replayability, no levels, no growth, and it doesn't affect the fun of the game at all. I think this game would be the same. "
Lin Chaoxu nodded, "Yes. This map is very popular in Europe and America, with tens of thousands of players playing it every day. It's completely overshadowed all the other Warcraft maps. Although it's not completely popular in China, it's not far off.
"From the feedback of the players, they don't think they'll get sick of this map, but rather enjoy it. It's because of this player's data that the creator of this map had the confidence to talk to GA. "
Yan Zhenyuan said, "Well, what do you mean, Boss Lin?"
Lin Chaoxu said seriously, "I plan to talk to GA and try to get the rights to distribute this game in China."
…
…
In Chen Mo's experience store.
Everyone was worried about Emperor Dynasty Entertainment and Fantasy Gaming Platform working together to create a super distribution channel, but Chen Mo acted like nothing had happened, taking his time every day.
There were more and more people playing Warcraft in the PC experience area, but most of them weren't playing PvP, but a new RPG map: COG.
"Morning, manager," said Zou Zhuo as he walked towards the PC experience area with a bag of chips in his hand.
Chen Mo looked at the chips in his hand, "Although I'm quite happy that you've been buying snacks from the experience store, I'd advise you to restrain yourself when considering your figure, or you might not be able to find a girlfriend."
Zou Zhuo grabbed two pieces of chips and threw them into his mouth. "But Mr. Manager, you're so skinny, so you still don't have a girlfriend."
"…"
There was no way to continue this conversation!
Zou Zhuo said, "By the way, manager, are you free today? Wanna play some games?"
Chen Mo rejected, "No, it's office hours. As the boss, I should be a good role model. How can I play games in secret?"
Zou Zhuo nodded, "Oh, I see. Why don't you just announce that you're off today? You're the boss anyways, you can decide when you want to rest. "
Chen Mo thought for a bit, "That's true, wait a bit."
Not long after, Chen Mo took the elevator back from the fourth floor.
"Alright, I told everyone that we're off today, we can play games now."
"…"
Zou Zhuo couldn't say a word with his mouth full of chips, but he gave Chen Mo a thumbs up.
Chen Mo and Zou Zhuo sat down in the PC experience area and started Warcraft.
Chen Mo had already turned off the friend requests and PvP pop-ups, so even though Silent was very famous, he didn't receive much harassment.
Zou Zhuo found the COG map and created a room in it.
Chen Mo asked, "You're not playing PvP anymore?"
Zou Zhuo nodded, "Yeah, mainly because I feel like I've reached the ceiling of my personal skill. I'm stuck at 3800 points, and I can't go any further. Moreover, the COG map is really fun, I feel bad if I don't play it for a day. "
Soon, the ten player room was full.
Cog was slowly gaining popularity in China. There were even specialized Chinese translation teams that translated the map into Chinese. Although it wasn't as popular as it was overseas, it was already the most popular map in China, even surpassing the Chenghai 3c map that Chen Mo had released on his official account.
Zou Zhuo was very excited, "Manager, you've never played this map before right?"
Chen Mo nodded, "Yep, never."
Zou Zhuo said, "That's great, I can finally teach you how to play! Manager, let me tell you, this map is quite complicated. There are more than 30 heroes here, each with different skills, unique traits, and different equipment. Tsk, the content of this game is too rich. "
"Manager, you might not be used to it since you're new. I suggest you play Jungle God, it's quite simple and suitable for beginners."
Chen Mo took a look, Jungle God was Malfurion from Warcraft. It had four abilities, Summon Treants, Entanglement of Roots (crowd control, immobilizes single target), Heal (healing, regenerates single target allies), and Emerald Dream (crowd control, hypnotizes enemies within range).
Indeed, this hero looked like a support, very suitable for beginners.
Chen Mo said, "Yep, this hero suits me, but I'll choose Dark Vagabond."
Before Zou Zhuo could stop him, Chen Mo chose Dark Vagabond Sylvanas and entered the game.
Zou Zhuo was speechless, "… Alright, manager, you're good, you can play whatever you want."
Chen Mo started to deploy his troops as soon as he entered the game. As he walked towards his defensive tower, he took a quick look at the equipment system and hero skills in the game.
The COG map was made using the models from Warcraft. Although it looked similar to Dota in Chen Mo's previous life, there was a huge difference.
