Almighty Game Designer Chapter 287: Then a hero is 1 billion dollars.

In the studio, Chen Mo is considering the early promotion of "League of Legends".

Although the "League of Legends" game itself has strong diffusion properties, the early promotion strategy is still very important, because the current channel capabilities of the Thunder game platform are far from the previous Penguin.

Moreover, the player base of "League of Legends" in this world is even worse.

In the previous life, after all, DOTA beads and jade were in the front. When "League of Legends" was launched, it happened to be stuck in a very critical period. DOTA is very popular among young people, especially students, but it is limited by Many factors such as engine, ranking mechanism, difficulty of getting started, cheating, etc. have limited development.

"League of Legends" reduced the difficulty of getting started, coupled with Penguin's strong operation and promotion capabilities, it gradually became popular.

For the time being, let the grievances and hatreds aside. "League of Legends" has the light of DOTA. This is an indisputable fact. After all, DOTA is a pioneer in this market.

But what about this world?

Although COG has the preliminary form of some MOBA games, it is an imperfect map after all, and it is far behind DOTA.

The player group of "Warcraft" is much smaller than that of the previous life. The players who really come into contact with COG are only a very small number of the entire player group.

It is conceivable that when Chen Mo launches "League of Legends", the reaction of most players will be "What kind of Yaomo game is this" instead of "Wow, finally there is a reliable MOBA game." ".

So, how to promote "League of Legends", still have to think carefully.

Thinking about it, the phone on the table rang.

Chen Mo picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number in the magic capital.

Chen Mo picked it up: "Hello?"

A male voice came over the phone, very polite: "Hello, is this Mr. Chen Mo from Thunder Interactive Entertainment?"

Chen Mo said: "It's me."

The male voice over the phone said: "Hello, first introduce yourself. I am the head of the GA Magic City branch. You can call me Peter."

Chen Mo frowned, Peter?

Although it is an English name, he speaks Chinese very well and should not be a foreigner. Chen Mo changed his mind. After all, he is an executive of a foreign company, and his English name is normal.

GA has a branch in the Mobo, which matches the location of the phone number.

Chen Mo asked: "Hello, what's the matter?"

Peter said: "That's it. We are developing a new game called COG at the GA headquarters. I don't know if you know it. Because this game was originally a map in your game "Warcraft" , Uses a lot of resources in the game, so we want to ask, can you sell us the related art copyright? Of course, the price is easy to negotiate."

Chen Mo said without thinking: "Not for sale."

"Cough cough." Peter was choked with a dry cough, and then said, "Mr. Chen Mo, just some art copyrights. In fact, in terms of GA's R&D strength and art level, it has made a comprehensive " The game of "Warcraft" is not difficult. The reason why we want to buy your art copyright is mainly to continue the player's habit of the original COG, and to maximize the consistency of this game..."

Chen Mo: "Don't sell, I'll hang up if I'm fine."

"Please wait!" Peter was surprised that Chen Mo's attitude was so firm that he didn't even ask the price. "You should know that GA is a company with very strong economic strength. For these copyrights..."

Chen Mo: "Oh, how about a billion heroes?"

Peter: "Huh?"

This time Peter fancy, one billion?

Your hero is made of gold? Moreover, even if it is made of gold, it cannot be worth so much!

Peter tentatively asked: "You mean, soft sister coin?"

Chen Mo: "No, a good sword."

Peter: "..."

A hero with a billion dollars, why not grab it! That means if COG wants to produce 30 heroes, it will cost 30 billion dollars?

That's the valuation of the entire GA company!

Peter is a little upset. Obviously, Chen Mo's attitude is insincere: "Mr. Chen Mo, although I don't know why, but I feel that you may have misunderstood this matter..."

Chen Mo said: "There is no misunderstanding, I have already told you that I will not sell anything in Warcraft."

"By the way, tell Raman Clive for me. Although COG is a good map, in my opinion, it is still far behind. The nerdy Chinese will make a comprehensive COG Games."

Peter: "Mr. Chen Mo..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Mo had already hung up the phone.

Actually, things like buying and selling copyrights are not uncommon, and they are not a big deal at all. For most game companies, as long as they have enough money, they can talk about anything.

As for why Chen Mo's attitude is so determined?

Firstly, the IP value of "Warcraft" is difficult to measure with money, and COG is considered a competitor, and it is impossible for Chen Mo to shoot himself in the foot for short-term benefits; secondly, Chen Mo is very dissatisfied with these People have a somewhat contemptuous attitude.

Obviously, Raman Clive and GA look down on themselves a little bit too much.

Raman Clive doesn’t believe that Chen Mo can do well in the game mode of COG, but GA thinks, isn’t it just the art copyright of several heroes? It's just a small company in a developing country, just put some money in to buy the copyright.

Furthermore, Chen Mo has no good feelings about GA. He will eventually become an opponent in the future, and there is no need to worry about their feelings now.

However, Chen Mo is also very clear that changing a set of art resources will not be difficult for GA, and the impact on COG will be minimal.

After all, there are not many players in COG right now. When the time comes to change the hero's name, change the model, and add some new heroes, the players will certainly gradually accept it.

But, at least they have to toss a bit more.

……

For the next period of time, it seemed a little calm.

Although Dichao Mutual Entertainment and Shenhuan Game Platform have established the largest channel business alliance in China~IndoMTL.com~, there are still many independent game designers who choose to publish their games on Chen Mo's game platform.

In the final analysis, it is because this new channel lacks a decisive work to prove its power.

Just like during the live broadcast platform wars, digging for anchors through price wars is just a means. What can really highlight a live broadcast platform's foundation and hard power is to create a god.

It doesn't matter if you poach my popular anchor, I will use one or two months to push another big anchor, even more popular than the one you poached.

The channel business is the same. It is meaningless to unilaterally brag about how many players they have. If they can launch a harvest-level PC or VR game masterpiece, then they can prove their power.

So, before such a game appeared, all players and designers were still in a wait-and-see state. Although Chen Mo’s Thunder game platform is currently in a very unfavorable situation, it is necessary to talk about the imperial court and the **** It's too early for a magical victory.

The key is to see how the next game pushed by Emperor Dynasty and Shenhuan will perform.
