This gave Lu Wu a headache, but he would not reject it since it would help the promotion of the game.
After all, the game manufacturers only cared about profits, but Lu Wu cared about how to expand and strengthen the power of the players. If advertisements were to be placed in the game, it would naturally destroy the gaming experience, so Lu Wu rejected it.
The appearance of the gaming pods instantly excited the majority of domestic players, especially those who were dissatisfied with the safety of Battle Online for 12 hours. After a discussion on the forum, they collectively began to purchase the gaming pods from the Jie De Corporation.
"This device is not compatible with this game!"
Although he had never understood what Lu Wu was thinking.
But this time, none of the platforms rejected Lu Wu's proposal.
The exclusive three-month license signed by Lu Wu and Wu Guoyi had finally expired.
However, the problem now was that although Battle Online could be downloaded into the gaming pods, a game notification popped up when they clicked on the game icon.
On the day of the launch of Dragon Nation, the Jie De Corporation announced to the public that the game had reached a partnership with all the well-known domestic game manufacturers. They could remove many restrictions such as the safety time set in the game.
They never expected that the inability to operate Battle Online in the gaming pods would have such a huge impact.
For example, how the gaming pods could replenish the body's needs with nutrients when the players were playing the game for a long time, and even help muscle exercise to prevent muscle atrophy.
Similarly, it was easy for the players to defeat other powerful creatures, but it would be very difficult to kill them.
However, just when they thought that the problem was finally solved, the feedback from the players became even more intense. The number of refunds increased to more than two million.
At the same time, the Jie De Corporation also showed a series of functions of the gaming pods to the media.
The conditions they gave were basically to buy out the foreign operating rights of the game in one go, and to open the soul coin top-up function for foreign versions to profit.
However, after a detailed discussion, Lu Wu rejected all of them.
This was because the reasons for the bad reviews from the players who refunded the game were mostly the same, "Battle Online can't be operated, bad review!"
He did not have that much time to meet them one by one.
However, the conditions that Lu Wu offered to those platforms were naturally not as good as the one he offered to Wu Guoyi. Apart from not providing advertising fees, he also stipulated that these platforms must promote Battle Online on the homepage of their platforms once a month.
After the battle between the players and the evil spirits, Lu Wu had a new idea, which was to subdue the Rock Ghost King for his own use.
After all, what Lu Wu lacked the most right now was high-end combat power.
Compared to other games that spent money on advertising on the platforms, Lu Wu's conditions were undoubtedly harsher.
…
At this time, the Jie De Corporation's gaming pods had officially started selling.
For example, if players didn't have the strength to kill the Evil Ghost General instantly, the Evil Ghost General could come and go as it pleased.
However, Lu Wu still rejected the offer.
After Lu Wu's firm attitude dissuaded some of the distributors, new foreign game manufacturers approached him and explained that they could give up on topping up the game and the buyout system. However, they hoped to gain profit by embedding advertisements in the game.
That was because those who understood and experienced the game knew how influential it would be in the future.
As for profiting from Battle Online, he had never even thought about it. What he wanted was to rely on Battle Online to promote the influence of their platform overseas, thereby driving the profits of other sectors.
He had high hopes for Battle Online and felt that it would be popular overseas. It was as simple as that.
On the first day of sale, the Jie De Corporation received orders for four million gaming pods. The stocks that they had prepared beforehand were being shipped in large quantities. This made the executives of the Jie De Corporation realize that they had a huge advantage by being one step ahead. As a laggard, the Black Sea Corporation could only watch as their market share slipped away.
However, the problem now was that if they did not allow topping up the soul coins, the foreign distributors would not be able to make money from Battle Online. Then, they would have to pay a huge amount of agency fees without making any profit, which was a completely loss-making business.
On the second day after the evil spirits' invasion crisis ended.
Lu Wu rejected the offer because a one-time buyout would dissuade some players, which was not in line with his idea.
Therefore, Lu Wu began to consider if he should recruit the Rock Ghost King and the other old forces of Beiqi and digitize them. This would make up for the shortcomings of the players and make the overall strength of the Beiqi Army stronger.
The reason was simple. The way they wanted to represent Battle Online was not in line with Lu Wu's idea.
After some consideration, Lu Wu decided to officially cooperate with Wu Guoyi because Wu Guoyi had stated that he would not interfere with any development in the game. At the same time, as an old player, he knew that Lu Wu would never allow topping up the game.
…
After the foreign agency matters were finalized, Lu Wu received a call from the Black Sea Company. They informed Lu Wu that the gaming pods would be officially released in five days.
Faced with this situation, the Jie De Corporation immediately launched an investigation and tracked down the players who gave the bad reviews.
Although their offers were very high, Lu Wu did not even have enough soul coins for himself. How could he let them sell them? He chose to reject the offer without hesitation.
However, the Jie De Corporation did not expect that the next day, there would be a lot of feedback from the players on their official website that the gaming pods were very lousy and could not run the game.
Of course, this was only one of Lu Wu's considerations for future development. After all, he did not have the corresponding strength and power to execute it.
After that, they quickly held a meeting and finally asked the technical department to remove the block on Battle Online.
It took Lu Wu two days to finish reading and signing the contracts that were stacked in stacks. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.
However, Lu Wu's work was not done yet. Right after he settled the domestic game platform cooperation matters, he received many calls from foreign game manufacturers, hoping to get the authorization to cooperate with them as soon as possible.
For the past few days, Lu Wu had been receiving a bunch of calls from other game platforms, hoping to discuss cooperation.
If the gaming pods were not compatible with the game, then these players who wanted to remove the security restrictions could wait until they fixed the bug.
As if he knew about Lu Wu's problem, Wu Guoyi called and told Lu Wu that he wanted to expand the business of Platform173 overseas. At the same time, he wanted to be the agent of Battle Online.
Although the player army was very strong, it was not enough in the face of high-level combat power.
Wu Guoyi's idea was very simple.
After the players' feedback, the higher-ups of the Jie De Corporation fell silent.
Therefore, they proposed a buyout system. If the game was operated under a buyout system, as long as the game content was attractive, they would still be able to make a profit.
At this stage, other than Tong Gua, whose strength was extremely unstable, Lu Wu did not have anyone above the level of Ghost Commander. This was indeed the weakness of the players.
As for the other aspects of cooperation that the game platforms proposed, Lu Wu decisively rejected them. He told them to send the contract over and forget about the face-to-face negotiations.
After rejecting all the calls from foreign game manufacturers, Lu Wu was faced with a difficult problem. How should he promote the game overseas?
