In the eyes of ordinary players and spectators, this decision was very interesting. However, in the eyes of some capitalists, this move by the Daqian was too ruthless.
First of all, all the esports competitions, players, and employees had to register with the International Esports Federation. Members were not allowed to participate in other competitions. Thus, all the resources in the esports industry were gathered in the hands of the International Esports Federation. Moreover, the International Esports Federation had a tight control over the resources. As long as one joined the Federation, there was no way to escape.
As for those who did not join the Federation, they were even more pitiful. The entire esports industry would not allow them to play.
Some people might say that if a big company entered the game, wouldn't it be fine?
In fact, it was impossible because the Daqian had already controlled a group of famous esports players and competitions in the esports industry. If a new capital force wanted to enter the game, if they did not want to join the International E-Sports Federation, they could only hold a series of competitions themselves.
Not to mention the cost involved, if those famous esports players who already had a large number of fans did not participate in the competition, what was the point of the competition?
This was just like a football competition. Because FIFA firmly controlled all the top competitions in the football world, including the World Cup, when a local force disagreed with FIFA and wanted to hold a World Cup, the top players like Messi, Kaka, Klose, Ronaldo, and so on would not participate in the competition at all. Then, the fans would not pay attention to these competitions at all.
Therefore, this was a huge first-mover advantage. As long as the Daqian controlled the chaotic esports industry, as well as all the top esports players and competitions, and firmly controlled the International E-Sports Federation, the entire esports industry would belong to the Daqian.
Of course, the Daqian also gave other forces a way out. According to the rules of the International E-Sports Federation, other organizations that wanted to hold esports competitions could freely join the Federation as long as they passed the formal examination. There were no prerequisites.
It was believed that the Daqian would not risk universal condemnation and prevent other companies from joining the game. Of course, if a company had a grudge against the Daqian, then the Daqian would occasionally block one or two companies' way of making money, and the other companies would not say anything.
The Daqian even asked the Federation to give subsidies to all the professional esports players. Although the number did not seem much, it was not little either. Many esports players who did not have a source of income would definitely see the Federation as their benefactor. This greatly increased their favorability and loyalty to the Federation.
At the same time, other talented players who had not yet participated in the WCG would try their best to join the Federation.
This was the most brilliant part of the Daqian. As long as the Federation conference appeared, the Daqian would be the absolute king of the esports world. No one could compete with the Daqian...
Of course, if they had to compete with the Daqian in the esports circle, it was not impossible. That was to use the funds that appeared several times that of the Daqian and create a new organization that had more funds, competitions, and subsidies than the current International Esports Federation.
Using the current chaotic state of esports to compete with the Daqian.
But the problem was that this would consume hundreds of millions of USD. Which company would be so free as to invest such a huge amount of money into an esports industry that did not have much of a future?
Therefore, the Daqian would definitely win. There was no other outcome.
The truth was that with the establishment of the International Esports Federation, the Daqian firmly controlled the entire esports circle. It was still the same even after Boss Jia retired.
At the same time, the positive effects of the WCG were gradually beginning to show. Although many of the audience came to watch the WCG this time because of the world-famous games such as Diablo, Pokemon, Red Alert, and so on, there were not many fans of the other five games.
But when the fans of the top three games watched the competitions of their favorite games, they would more or less watch the competitions of the other games.
And as long as 10% of these fans felt that these games were very interesting and wanted to buy them, the Daqian would make a fortune.
Sure enough, within a month after the WCG, the sales of the eight games in the WCG all skyrocketed.
The game with the lowest increase was Diablo. It only increased by 10%, which was about three million copies.
The game with the highest increase was Grand Theft Auto. It increased its sales by 300%, which was a total of nine million copies. And this was only in a month.
Other than that, games such as Heroes and Invincible also had a shocking increase in sales. Only Kartrider and Pokemon Kim Silver did not have a large increase in sales due to the N64, but they were still selling like crazy.
Finally, according to the data released by Daqian Games, in the entire month of June, Daqian Games made a shocking profit of 320 million USD. Because of the WCG, Daqian Games made a lot of money, which made the other game companies very envious.
This also made these gaming companies realize once again the amazing benefits that e-sports could bring. However, when these gaming companies wanted to organize their own competitions, they helplessly discovered that e-sports competitions cost a lot of money, and they had to invest a lot of their profits.
What's worse was that even if they organized a competition, it would not increase their sales. This was because only the original players of these games would participate in the competition. They could only attract more players through the live broadcast and promotion of the competition.
It was not like WCG, which was broadcasted all over the world. At the same time, they could use multiple games to mobilize the attention of players all over the world. If they wanted to do this, they would have to spend hundreds of millions of dollars. What the hell was that?!
Therefore, these game companies naturally turned their attention to WCG. They suddenly realized that if they could add WCG into their games, it would solve the problem once and for all.
At the thought of this, many gaming companies were so regretful that their intestines were about to burst out crying. When Da Qian took the initiative to invite them to join WCG, they were actually unwilling and wanted to create their own e-sports competition.
But now that the benefits of WCG were shown, they had no chance to regret. This was because when they looked for Daqian Games again and expressed their desire to join WCG, Daqian Games said that Boss Jia was still thinking about the future of WCG. Therefore, they would not consider adding WCG to any game for the time being unless they could convince Boss Jia.
Anyway, these game companies were all rejected, which made them angry and helpless. When the opportunity was given to them, they did not grab it. Now, they regretted it. How could there be such a good thing in the world!
Of course, there were also those that did not believe in heresy, such as Nintendo.
