An Expert Is actually By My Side

Chapter 294: The schedule remains unchanged!

After listening to Li Zongzheng's words, Hao Yun gave him a strange look and said.

What does Rice Entertainment do with RTS games and us?

It's not directly related, but... I'm worried that the sales of Seven Kingdoms will have an impact on the sales of Warcraft. Li Zong said with a look of embarrassment, It's not that I don't have confidence in our strength, but that After all, the opponent is Rice Entertainment, whether it is their fan base or publicity advantages, they are not in the same weight class as us.

In fact, Li Zongzheng's concerns are not unreasonable. Although Seven Kingdoms is a new IP, it is still a big production costing 200 million yuan, and the development lineup can be described as luxurious.

Obviously, Rice Entertainment intends to turn it into a phenomenal IP, just like Assassin's Biography that releases sequels every year. You can guess it with your feet, and the opponent will definitely spare no effort to create momentum for this game.

If Warcraft is released at this time, it is almost the same as courting death...at least in the eyes of most people in the industry.

After clarifying the stakes in this, Li Zongzheng thought Mr. Hao could understand his difficulties, but he didn't expect that his point of view would not change because of this, and he still shook his head stubbornly.

I probably understand what you mean, but I don't agree with your decision.

There was hardly any pause, Hao Yun spoke in a tone that did not leave any room for negotiation.

No matter how Rice Entertainment arranges their own schedule, our schedule will not be adjusted because of their choice! As we advertised in the first promotional poster, June 6th will be Azeroth The day when the mainland was born, all players will witness this moment.

The moment the voice fell, Li Zongzheng was stunned.

Not only Li Zongzheng, Du Ziteng, the director of the operation department, Liu Ye, the chief screenwriter, Jiang Lecheng from the art department... almost all the executives of Yunmeng Games were stunned.

Schedule unchanged?

Crash with rice entertainment?

I wipe!

Isn't this too reckless?

The first to come back to his senses, Li Zongzheng hastily opened his mouth to persuade.

Mr. Hao, calm down! Although we didn't invest 200 million yuan, we have invested tens of millions in this project.

Du Ziteng also persuaded.

Yes, Mr. Hao, this is not the time to be arrogant.

Hao Yun shook his head and said.

It's not a whim, I remember I said from the beginning that I expected more from this game than just a masterpiece.

Its birth will redefine the gameplay of RTS games, and its existence will become an unsurpassable benchmark for the entire category. And now you tell me, it will be delayed because of the schedule of a game of the same type?

What's the difference between that and admitting defeat?

Looking around the silent conference room, Hao Yun paused for a moment, then raised his volume slightly and continued.

Everyone, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! We will defeat an epic masterpiece that cost 200 million yuan and was jointly created by a team of multinational elites on the frontal battlefield—at least that's what they and their fans claim.

I know it's not easy to defeat a strong opponent, but I have absolute confidence in you -- and in myself.

I believe we can do it!

I believe that sentence, although there is no ups and downs in the tone, it seems to have a calm tension. Sitting at the conference table, Li Zongzheng lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.

Suddenly, he clenched his fists and raised his head. Those eyes seemed to be lit up, with a renewed high-spirited fighting spirit and a completely different brilliance from before.

I was sloppy before and almost forgot that we are a company with dreams.

You are right. The strength of our opponents is definitely not the reason for us to retire. On the contrary, it is because of their strength that our victory will be more meaningful.

I won't talk about modifying the schedule anymore, and the date of launch in the early morning of June 6 will not be changed for a minute!

Looking at Li Zongzheng who suddenly woke up, Hao Yun nodded in approval.

Looks like you've figured it out, glad you're back.

Although Li Zongzheng has been persuaded, it is clear that not everyone agrees with his ideas. After exchanging worried glances with Liu Ye who was sitting next to him, Du Ziteng, who was still worried, took a deep breath and said.

...I can understand your feelings, and I also hope that our game can become an unsurpassable monument in the hearts of players, but after all, the electric fun platform is in the hands of Rice Entertainment. If we take 10,000 steps back, we will be in a head-on confrontation Gaining the upper hand, the opponent also has the ability to turn the table, and then our side will not be worth the loss.”

Hearing this sentence, Hao Yun looked at him and asked back.

Who said I'm going to let Warcraft land on the e-game platform?

Du Ziteng stared at him blankly.

Warcraft...can't be on the e-game platform?

Publishing Warcraft in a place other than the creative workshop is simply an insult to this masterpiece! After a pause, Hao Yun continued, It seems that my statement in the plan was not accurate enough, then Now let me emphasize again, Warcraft will be released on the creative workshop, and it will be exclusive to all platforms!

There was no sound in the meeting room.

Except for Li Zongzheng's bright eyes, everyone else had somewhat surprised expressions on their faces.

Although Yunmeng Games has its own platform, and the creative workshop community is gradually taking shape, the number of players is still too small, at least not comparable to the industry's leading e-fun platform.

After all, for most domestic players, the e-game platform is no longer just a game download tool. It not only stores their inventory, achievement medals, but also carries the youth of countless people.

For such a game platform that has formed its own ecology and is backed by domestic electronics industry giants, it is almost impossible for Creative Workshop to surpass it in a short period of time.

Therefore, except for the games published on mobile platforms, the works of Yunmeng Games are basically released on the creative workshop and the electronic fun platform at the same time.

If the latter is given up, it means giving up more than half of the market.

Are there really players who download the Creative Workshop specifically for Warcraft?

No matter whether it was Liu Ye or Du Ziteng, at this moment, their doubts were greater than their confidence. It is not even an exaggeration to say that among all the people sitting here, apart from Hao Yun himself, only Li Zongzheng, who had an inexplicable sudden epiphany, truly believed from the bottom of his heart that they could win.

If you don't go to the Dianqu platform, it won't matter...Even if they limit our traffic, they can still contribute a part of the sales. Liu Ye said hesitantly.

It doesn't make sense, Hao Yun shook his head and said, If it wasn't for the Warcraft purchased in the creative workshop, what the player bought could only be a semi-finished product that has been castrated with the most core gameplay.

Compared to encounters and battle plots, the map editor is actually the core of the game. You will understand what I mean after the game is launched.

The creative sharing service we provide to players will become part of the fun of the game itself. And the creativity born from this will also be our core competitiveness and our biggest hole card!
