"All the contracts we signed at the beginning were A-grade contracts. When your company's application game reaches 100,000 people at the same time, we can sign a B-grade contract. When it reaches 500,000 people, we can sign a C-grade contract."
Huanyu Technologies treated all companies equally.
They would not ignore you just because you were a small company, nor would they give you preferential treatment just because you were a large company.
As the saying went, 'Be it a mule or a horse, be dragged out for a walk'.
Huanyu Technologies was only a platform. If they wanted to achieve better results, they had to rely on their own abilities.
It was not just these gaming companies that had to rely on their own abilities. Even the YY application software department had to rely on their own abilities.
The major gaming companies did not have any objections to this, especially the small game development companies. They signed the contract immediately. Especially after seeing the popularity of Draw I Guess, the small gaming companies seemed to have discovered a new continent.
In just a few days after the contract was signed, a series of games were released one after another.
For example, this game called 'Jigsaw'.
This was a casual game released by a small gaming company. Although it was called a small gaming company, it was actually equivalent to an individual. It was just a small gaming studio with only three people in the entire studio. However, although this gaming company was very small, this jigsaw puzzle was like Draw I Guess. Once it was released, it quickly gained the favor of some netizens.
Especially those netizens who had played jigsaw puzzles when they were young. When they saw the jigsaw puzzle, it was as if they had found their childhood.
Of course, other than the jigsaw puzzle, another small gaming company released an interesting game.
This game was called the Gluttonous Snake.
Yes.
It was the Gluttonous Snake that they had played when they were young.
However, it was not a standalone version. It was an online version.
You could play with two people, three, four, or even 100 people.
All the players were on the same map, using the mouse to control the Gluttonous Snake to obtain all kinds of energy. At the same time, the Gluttonous Snake would continue to grow as it obtained energy. Moreover, as its strength increased, it would use various PK methods to eliminate the Gluttonous Snakes controlled by other players.
This novel gameplay immediately gained the favor of countless netizens.
This was not just the Gluttonous Snake's own growth in strength. At the same time, with the addition of other players, it also displayed a battle of wits and courage.
When could you compete with the Gluttonous Snake opposite you?
When did you have to obediently develop and increase your strength first?
As the saying goes, fighting with others is endless fun.
With the addition of countless players, Snake of Gluttony broke the record of 170,000 players.
This record once again shocked all the major gaming companies.
"Hurry up and develop it."
"Other game companies have already surpassed 170,000 games. What are you guys still doing?"
"Think, think of something more interesting and creative for me."
At this point, none of the major gaming companies were still observing.
They had been holding whips for a long time and had been guarding behind the major programmers, urging them to quickly develop.
Of course, this was a joke. No matter how ruthless a capitalist was, it was impossible for him to do this.
However, after YY Games proposed an open strategy, it changed from being developed by himself to being developed by hundreds of game companies for Huanyu Technologies. Although there were many games that were not popular, it did not matter. With so many games, there were bound to be some that performed well.
Just like the Gluttonous Snake that had just appeared a few days ago, it was said that once the Gluttonous Snake appeared, its daily income reached 500,000 yuan.
With such a money-making ability, it was as if the gaming companies had been injected with chicken blood.
One had to know that there were many capable software development companies and gaming companies in the country. However, to be honest, most of the time, these gaming companies were not particularly profitable.
Just like Jinshan's West Mountain Residence. Although they were famous, they were not very profitable.
However, now, as long as they developed a few small games, their income would be comparable to the large standalone games that they developed.
The motivation brought by this contrast was simply shocking.
No matter how awesome a software company was, they were no longer reserved at this moment.
Of course, while the major gaming companies were constantly releasing new games, Huanyu Technologies also benefited greatly.
On the surface, YY Games had suddenly added hundreds of application games. Just the profits alone were a huge sum.
However, this was not what Chen Yu valued the most.
The most important thing was that YY Games had reached a new high in the number of people online at the same time after the release of various popular games.
From the original two million, it had reached a new record of 2.6 million.
At the same time, YY Instant Messaging had also increased from 4.5 million to 5 million. It was completely on par with QQ.
This terrifying growth number also caused panic in Penguin.
Originally, they were still on the path of imitation. However, Huanyu Technologies directly opened it up. They could not even imitate it.
It was not that they did not want to imitate it. However, Huanyu Technologies had dozens of games released every week. How could they imitate it?
Even if they recruited thousands of programmers, they would not be able to catch up with YY Games' terrifying speed of release.
Of course, they still had another choice.
That was to choose to open it up like Huanyu Technologies.
Unfortunately, even if Penguin chose to open it up now, it would be useless.
It was not only because QQ Games' popularity was far inferior to Huanyu Technologies.
More importantly, once YY Games was released, the power it brought was simply like the eruption of mountains and rivers.
Almost every once in a while, a popular game would appear in YY Games.
For example, the previously popular Gluttonous Snake. Now, YY Games had released a game that was even more popular than Gluttonous Snake. It was called Big Fish Eat Little Fish.
These games were very imaginative, very casual, and easy to play.
Not only young people liked them, but children also liked them.
Especially those who had computers at home. It was not easy for children to play these games.
There were even some kindergartens where teachers entered YY Games to cultivate children's intelligence and reflexes.
This also stimulated YY Games on the other hand.
The games were online at the same time.
In the face of such terrifying traffic, how could the major software manufacturers pay attention to a small QQ Games?
Of course, the release of YY Games was not just an explosion of small games.
Some heavyweight games were also released one after another.
For example, SNK was working with Huanyu Technologies. Perhaps you don't know which company SNK Games was.
But you must have played their King of Fighters.
That's right, seeing the huge online market, SNK was also going to release an online version of the King of Fighters in YY Games.
However, this was not the most important thing.
The most important thing was the addition of a competitive platform.
The name of this company was Haofang Competitive Platform.
There was probably no one who did not know Haofang who had played competitive games in the future.
There were many people who liked competitive games, but because there were no competitive platforms, many people could only play single player. However, with a competitive platform, they could play CS and Warcraft with others on the Internet at any time …
Haofang was born for this.
Originally, Haofang Competitive Platform was solely responsible for promotion and operation. However, after a period of time, Haofang's developers understood a principle. If they relied on their own strength, it would take at least three years for them to break into the market. Moreover, it might not be smooth sailing. But if they worked with YY Games, they could get everything in a week.
Since that was the case, what were they waiting for …

PS: When I woke up, a book friend actually tipped a League Master. Thinking about how many years ago it was that I tipped the Great White League Master. Sigh, I don't want to think about it anymore. It's so bitter … Thank you [Musketeer Lover] for tipping the League Master. Update, I must update.
