An Expert Is actually By My Side

Chapter 378 Too Shameless

Sea Lion Group moved very quickly.

Almost on the second day after the official announcement of the introduction of Endless Epic, the promotional PV has been made, and it has also been linked with the well-known MMORPG Oracle.

It can be seen that Sea Lion Group is serious.

Even if it is a blood transfusion from an old game to a new one, the popular World of Warcraft must be removed from the altar. After all, even if they do nothing, players will automatically lose, and they will still flow to their competitors...

...This promotional PV looks like a copycat of World of Warcraft.

Bedroom 402.

Looking at the promotional CG on the computer screen, Zhou Xuan couldn't help complaining.

Standing behind him, Wang Ziyi moved his head closer, stared at the CG animation on the screen for a long time, and said a word in an admiring tone.

Good legs.

Zhou Xuan: ...

What good legs? What are you looking at?

Yuan Gaofei, who was reading a novel with his mobile phone, heard the conversation between the two, and came over excitedly, only to find that the things on the computer were not what he thought, so he moved away from the realization without interest.

Hey, I thought it was something, just this thing can make you stare at it for a long time.

Zhou Xuan: I didn't, it's Lao Wang who is interested.

Wang Ziyi waved his hands and said.

Rolling, what does it mean to be interested? I'm just evaluating it seriously! And one thing to say, the CG of this game is quite interesting, and it's a big improvement compared to the oracle. If the actual game effect has This half level of CG painting, I bet there will be no fewer people playing this game.

Zhou Xuan said.

That being said, don't you think this background story looks familiar?

look familiar?

That's right, the Altai continent shrouded in the shadow of the abyss invasion, the heir to the throne who was bewitched by the abyss and wearing the crown of death, and the portal that is opening... I won't talk about race and occupation settings, just say This background story is a replica of World of Warcraft, right?

It's a little bit of you to say that, Wang Ziyi rubbed his chin and said with a strange expression, This is not the same anymore, I can only say that it is exactly the same.

Yes. Zhou Xuan sighed and said, The Sea Lion Group is too shameless.

This method of copying the background of the story and the core gameplay, it is obvious that the Sea Lion Group has already planned to tear itself apart. If this is the case, maybe there will be some disgusting means behind it.

After all, Sea Lion is a giant in the domestic instant messaging field.

Believe that giants will do good things, it is better to believe that vagabonds abide by the law and tigers do not eat meat...

This Yunmeng game is miserable... Wang Ziyi said with a regretful expression, Even if you go through legal procedures, it will be difficult to successfully defend your rights.

People all over the country know how strong the legal department of Sea Lion Group is. Moreover, games are different from other cultural and entertainment works such as novels, music, movies, etc., so it is difficult to define the boundaries of plagiarism.

If the two games are only similar in gameplay and settings, it is not enough evidence that Endless Epic copied World of Warcraft.

It's really hard to protect rights... However, if you say that Yunmeng Games can't beat sea lions, I don't think so.

Hearing Zhou Xuan's words, Wang Ziyi immediately cast a strange look at him.

Do you think Yunmeng Group can win?

It's not a question of whether you win or not. Do you think that a game made by copying the gameplay and story background of World of Warcraft will surely become popular?

Wang Ziyi thought for a while, then shook his head and said.

This...is really hard to say.

Zhou Xuan nodded and said.

Yes, this is really hard to say.

If you really want to say how novel the gameplay and plot of World of Warcraft are, they are actually not that novel. Fantasy online games, over and over again, are basically the settings of dwarves, elves, and undead.

What really attracted him to World of Warcraft, to put it bluntly, had nothing to do with the gameplay or the background of the story, but because the moment he stood in the world of Azeroth, he felt that he was in a living world, and Not facing a bunch of cold data.

It's hard to describe the feeling.

Even for an experienced game player like him, this feeling is the first time...

...

Not long after Sea Lion Group released the promotional CG of Endless Epic, Xu Qianshi, who has been following the industry trends, also saw that video.

Although the length of the video is not long, it is full of information.

After watching the video, Xu Qianshi, who was sitting in front of the computer, sighed leisurely, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

This Yunmeng Group, it really is the Sea Lion Group who did it.

Previously, Yunmeng Games had been doing stand-alone games and mobile games, and its business scope did not involve multiplayer online games.

Although Sea-Lion Group also has mobile games and stand-alone games, their market share is not very large, not even comparable to Rice Group, which acquired the electronic fun platform, so there is no direct friction between the two parties.

Now, however, the emergence of World of Warcraft undoubtedly broke this balance.

Sea Lion Group has always regarded multiplayer online games as its basic business, and this part of the revenue has indeed accounted for the majority of Sea Lion Group's profits in the game business.

Standing opposite the desk, Wu Jianhua, the person in charge of the marketing department, said with a smile.

It's a pity that the opponent is the Sea Lion Group. This time, Yunmeng Games probably kicked the steel plate with one kick.

He still hasn't forgotten about the Seven Kingdoms before, and now seeing Yunmeng Game's failure, he is naturally very happy.

The same goes for Xu Qianshi.

It's one thing to have a good personal relationship with Hao Yun, but it doesn't mean that he's on the same side as Hao Yun.

As the CEO of Rice Entertainment, his priority is of course the interests of his own company.

Narrowing his eyes slightly, he said with a smile.

Hehe, the wicked have to be tortured by the wicked, and it's time for them to fall back. I just don't know what step the Sea-Lion Group plans to take this time, and where the bottom line is. It's okay if it's just targeting World of Warcraft, but if it changes later Cheng has targeted all the products under Yunmeng Games, their troubles are not as simple as just one game.

Hearing these words, Wu Jianhua's face was slightly moved, and he looked at Mr. Xu in surprise.

You mean... Sea Lion Group may completely block the products of Yunmeng Group? But this is too—

You want to say that this is too much of a fuss, right? Xu Qianshi smiled lightly and continued, Actually, I think so too, but... since both parties have reached the point of tearing their faces apart, the next It’s not surprising that anything could happen.”

Besides, based on what I know about Liu Zhiping, this guy is not a good person. If he really regards Yunmeng Group as a problem, in order to solve this problem, he might be able to do similar things.

Directly blocking this kind of method is too low-level. Not only is it easy to cause a counterattack in public opinion, but it may also lead to anti-monopoly investigations by relevant agencies because it is too high-profile.

Especially the latter, not only the Sea Lion Group, but all the giants in Xia Kingdom are afraid of it.

However, even if direct blocking is not adopted, Sea Lion Group has ten thousand ways to achieve similar effects.

For example, restricting World of Warcraft from advertising on the platform of Sea Lion Group.

They even restricted the sharing of links related to Yunmeng Group on the WeChat platform for security reasons...

Even if Xu Qianshi admits that Hao Yun is a genius, he can always do something unexpected.

However, in the face of Internet giants like Sea Lion, the role of personal ability is still too small!
