"If that's the case, Zou Tao, you'll be in charge of developing this software."
"Yes."
Zou Tao nodded. But after a while, he shook his head. "Boss Chen, although this software doesn't require much technology, it has high requirements for servers. Moreover, it requires servers from all over the country. The investment is quite high."
"Then we'll charge for it when it's developed."
"Charge?"
"Can't we?"
"Boss Chen, our League of Legends is free, but this software that can only increase the speed of the game requires a fee, right?"
"It's precisely because our League of Legends is free that the software that increases the speed of the game requires a fee. We won't charge too much, just 10 RMB a month. "
Although this was a little difficult to understand, Swift Games was still selling well in his previous life.
…
"Mike, did Microsoft contact us?"
"Microsoft?"
"Yes, they want to work with us."
"Is it about their Xbox?"
"No, it's about the game business in China."
The three founders of Blizzard sat together and had a short meeting.
Allen explained Microsoft's intentions, and Mike and Frank instantly understood.
"The China market."
"Hehe, looks like Microsoft is in trouble in China."
However, although the three of them had the intention to watch the show, they were serious when it came to the China market.
Microsoft didn't gain any benefits in the China market, and Blizzard didn't gain any benefits in the China market either.
Not only did they not gain any benefits, but they were also robbed by Huanyu Technologies.
Just like Dota. Even though Dota was just a map under Blizzard's Warcraft, it was changed into a game by Blizzard.
Moreover, they relied on Dota to break into the global market.
That wasn't all.
In the online game industry, Blizzard's World of Warcraft was also suppressed by Huanyu Technologies' Kyushu in China.
Although Blizzard was still the world's number one in reputation, in terms of earning money, Blizzard could only be ranked below Huanyu Technologies.
They had thought of fighting Huanyu Technologies again countless times.
However, Blizzard had always strived for perfection, so they didn't rashly attack.
When Microsoft approached them, the three of them felt the time was right.
"Allen, it seems like our Heroes of the Storm can be launched."
"Yes, we've been looking forward to this day."
"The first region to be released will be China. What do you guys think?"
"I'm fine with it."
"Then it's decided."
The three of them nodded, and Blizzard's Heroes of the Storm officially attacked.
[Blizzard's latest strength: Storm Hero.]
[Finger Swordplay, Hero of the Storm is here.]
[Dota + LoL = Heroes of the Storm?]
[Blizzard PK Huanyu Technologies for China?]
As the number one gaming company in the world, Blizzard had always been a sacred temple in the hearts of countless players.
Their World of Warcraft series, Starcraft series, and Diablo series had influenced generations after generations.
Even the current Dota, as well as the popular LoL in China, had Blizzard's shadow in them.
Previously, when Dota spread, including the rise of LoL, many fans were puzzled. Why didn't Blizzard develop a competitive multiplayer game like this? Until now, Blizzard finally revealed to the public that it wasn't that they didn't want to develop a game, but that they simply developed a game. Every time they developed a game, it would inevitably bring great changes to the entire game.
This was just like how Diablo affected online games.
Today's competitive League of Legends also originated from Warcraft.
"F * ck, Blizzard is finally making a move. I support Blizzard."
"Damn, didn't you say you were a fan of Huanyu Technologies?"
"I'm a fan of Huanyu Technologies, but I'm also a fan of Blizzard."
"Then you don't support Huanyu Technologies?"
"You can't say that. Huanyu Technologies has to be supported, but so does Blizzard. Moreover, LoL and Dota have also borrowed from Blizzard. Now that Blizzard has released Heroes of the Storm, I believe this will definitely be a game that won't lose to Dota or LoL. "
Even in China, Blizzard had a lot of fans, not to mention overseas.
This was also normal.
Especially for the first batch of competitive multiplayer games, the first games they came into contact with were Blizzard's games.
Moreover, Dota and LoL had indeed evolved from a map in Warcraft. Now that the most orthodox, most powerful, and most anticipated game company had released a new game, it was impossible not to look forward to it.
On the other side, some professionals began to reveal a series of news about Heroes of the Storm on major forums.
"Everyone, is Huanyu Technologies' LoL and Dota going to be in danger?"
"No way, brother. The game hasn't even been represented yet and it's already in danger. You're treating Blizzard like a legend. Moreover, Huanyu Technologies isn't that easy to deal with."
"Although Huanyu Technologies isn't bad, there's still a gap between them and Blizzard. Moreover, Huanyu Technologies has performed well in the area of minimally invasive technology, but in terms of innovation and innovation, Huanyu Technologies is relatively weak. Of course, this isn't important. What's important is that Heroes of the Storm's closed beta performance in the United States is amazing. "
"Closed beta?"
"Yes, Blizzard would never casually make a game. They wouldn't make a game to make money. Their Heroes of the Storm actually had this idea long before Dota, but they didn't release it at that time. Previously, in the United States, Blizzard invited more than 100 well-known professional players from Dota, and almost all of them gave Heroes of the Storm a good 10 points. There were even a few well-known professional players from Dota who said that once Heroes of the Storm was released, they would switch over to Blizzard. "
"This is the review information of some professional players, you can refer to it. Although I also like Huanyu Technologies, this time, Huanyu Technologies might not be able to deal with Blizzard. "
In the face of the ferocious blizzard, Zou Tao received the news immediately.
"Boss Chen, what's the situation with Blizzard?"
"What's the situation? Look at how anxious you are. Has our speed game been developed?"
"Uh, Boss Chen, how can it be so fast?"
Zou Tao shook his head, "Blizzard has released their latest game, Heroes of the Storm."
"Oh?"
"This should be aimed at our League of Legends and Dota."
"Why are you so worried? It hasn't been released yet, has it?"
Chen Yu sat in front of the office chair and looked at the anxious Zou Tao, "Zou Tao, is Heroes of the Storm very good?"
Although the Heroes of the Storm had not been released yet, Blizzard had already released some information about them.
Chen Yu said as he looked.
Chen Yu had played Heroes of the Storm in his previous life. It turned out that the game was not bad, but it was very unpopular in the market.
In this life, Chen Yu still did not think highly of Heroes of the Storm.
"Boss Chen, Blizzard has invited more than 100 well-known professional players to participate in the closed beta test of Heroes of the Storm. Their reviews are very good, better than our Dota, and also better than our League of Legends."
"Our game is not for professional players to play."
Chen Yu shook his head.
Although professional players were important, Chen Yu believed that ordinary players were the most important.
"These reviews of professional players can only be used as a reference."
"That's true, but Blizzard came prepared this time, and the first game is in China. It seems that they are very confident. According to the news, Microsoft has approached Blizzard. "
"That's normal. Microsoft can't do anything about our game, so they can only look for Blizzard. However, I'm thinking, if Blizzard can't deal with us, what can Microsoft do? "
Chen Yu was not in a hurry.
The battle for the operating system was a long war.
Every day that Huanyu Technologies delayed was beneficial to them.
However, since Blizzard was here, Chen Yu might as well compete with Blizzard.
