A real cheat was blocked, and the game industry was rectified with a backhand

The players in the live broadcast room were all stunned.

[Wait, what? Which company did you say you were in?]

[Fuck! I won’t be sleepy if you say that]

[You are not the big brother, are you playing such a big game? Okay, I believe you are not making false propaganda.]

[Does this count as Southgate and Naughty Cat cheating on Baofeng Entertainment? ]

[Okay, okay, this is how you do it, right? I was saying this promotional method feels familiar.]

The barrage of comments went viral, the popularity of the live broadcast room skyrocketed, and countless people flocked into the live broadcast room and frantically posted barrage of comments.

This news was forwarded by many players in a short period of time, on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

Many players who did not watch the live broadcast were stunned when they saw this news.

No, this isn't April Fools' Day, is it?

How come after a short break from the internet, Southgate joined Naughty Cats and brought out a seemingly awesome Call of Duty: Modern Warfare?

Is this reasonable? !

When many players rushed over after hearing the news, the live broadcast had already ended and the live broadcast replay had begun.

After watching the live broadcast again, many players finally tasted the flavor.

It seems that many things that seem outrageous don’t seem to matter at this moment?

The players who originally felt that it was false advertising stopped talking about it, and even thought that this short one-minute promotional video was too conservative?

That's a naughty cat, right?

Unlike the players on the Internet who were in an atmosphere that was as festive as the New Year, Moreno was still confused in his office at the headquarters of Baofeng Entertainment.

"Warzone 9 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Damn, damn traitors! There must have been collusion, it must be, it must be!"

"Asshole, what an asshole! Naughty cat, you actually poached my people?! You're using dirty tricks, right? I was wondering why Southgate could find a job so early. It turns out you guys have been hooking up for a long time!"

Moreno was so angry that he thought that Naughty Cat had poached his capable men because it was short of manpower after making a highly similar game called "Call of Duty: Now Warfare".

But after calming down.

"Damn it! I was impulsive. I should have known not to change the release date."

sorry.

I originally thought that I would bully the small companies and crush them to death to warn other competitors who are eyeing the golden period at the end of each year.

By the way, satisfy your own heart and let Southgate, who can't distinguish between big and small kings, open his eyes and see the world.

But unexpectedly, Southgate would join Naughty Cat.

What's even more unexpected is that Naughty Cat would make an action shooting game that takes place almost entirely on a track.

And the size is so big.

Although Moreno doesn't think Baofeng Entertainment will lose, it is Naughty Cat after all.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

When facing Lin Mo's game, everyone would be wary.

It is already foreseeable that the sales of this year's "Battlezone 9" will be affected.

There is nothing that can help but some players play "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" out of curiosity. If they buy one, they won't buy the other.

Moreno was a little annoyed.

Why is this cat haunting me like a nightmare?

The most important thing right now is, what to do!

Should I postpone the payment and avoid it for even a month?

The thought just came up and then disappeared.

Anyone with eyes can see that the early release of "Warzone 9" is aimed at "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".

The meaning of targeting is obvious.

If they knew this was a game from Naughty Cat, they would change the release date within a day.

I can’t afford to lose that person!

Are we just going to release it anyway?

Moreno gritted his teeth. He was planning a big plan for Baofeng Entertainment. If it succeeded, he could retire directly and live a life of luxury and debauchery with no shortage of money.

All actions of Storm Entertainment in recent years are closely related to this plan. Once successful, it will benefit all shareholders.

That is to plan a century-long acquisition in the gaming industry. Storm Entertainment will sell itself to Giant Game Company at the most expensive price in history for a gaming company, and build an unprecedented gaming empire for the latter.

But now is not the time to make it public, otherwise we will be accused of manipulating stock prices and be in big trouble.

The gaming department of Juying Company is eyeing several well-known IPs under Baofeng Entertainment, as well as the mature gaming ecosystem and complete community culture.

As the world's largest technology company by market value, it would rather spend money to buy these than build them from scratch.

For this plan, and also to expand its influence and increase the possibility of being acquired.

Baofeng Entertainment and Juying Company signed a bet agreement, which stipulates that if Baofeng Entertainment's total revenue reaches 450 billion US dollars in the next three years, Juying will acquire Baofeng Entertainment at a certain percentage of the highest stock price.

If it fails to do so, then Storm Entertainment will have to pay $80 billion in compensation to Giant Entertainment.

Therefore, the Storm platform has unprecedentedly opened up to third-party games and absorbed fresh blood like crazy.

However, the promotion plan of the Baofeng platform is currently blocked. If problems arise with several flagship products under the platform, causing the stock price to plummet, the consequences will be disastrous.

Riding a tiger is difficult.

But in the end, Moreno made up his mind and decided to release it on time.

Now, investors in the gaming industry are looking to the unlisted company Naughty Cat to see which way the wind is blowing.

Those who follow Naughty Cat to make games, or those who release games at the same time as Naughty Cat but do not fail suddenly, will be favored.

Small studios will be offered olive branches by big companies.

For listed companies, the stock price will rise sharply.

What Moreno cares most about is the stock price!

The risk of two games colliding is very high, but if "Battlezone 9" wins... no, if they are evenly matched, according to past experience, the stock price will rise.

At that time, as long as the revenue gap is not too big, the moment the acquisition is completed, the shares of Baofeng Entertainment in Moreno's hands can bring in a very considerable income out of thin air.

so.

"Damn it, it's just Naughty Cat! I just don't believe that the Warzone series, which has been operating for so many years, can't beat a new IP like yours!"

Having said that, he immediately started to get busy again, arranging the work.

Promotion and marketing costs, add budget!

If there is not enough time to polish the game, then work overtime. If overtime doesn’t work, then work as much as possible!

Starting from the day of Southgate's live broadcast, the atmosphere in Baofeng Entertainment changed, becoming urgent and serious.

This has never been done before!

This shows how much pressure this incident brought to Moreno.

At the same time, players are also caught in a dilemma.

Which one to buy?

Buying Warzone 9?

I have been disgusted by this series so many times, and I am about to get high blood pressure because of all the outrageous operations by the official Baofeng Entertainment.

Should I buy Call of Duty: Modern Warfare?

Although I do trust Naughty Cat, this is the first game of this type after all. Can it really compare to what Baofeng Entertainment has accumulated over the years?

The players are also divided into two factions.

The game hasn't been released yet, and it's still early, but the two groups of players have already started void pvp, blasting and attacking each other non-stop.

The "Warzone" faction believes that Naughty Cat wants to compete with the big boss who has been famous for many years during the prime time of the game's release at the end of the year, just because he wants to win.

The "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" faction believes that the game may not be as good as you, but at least there are no cheats, and it is refreshing whether you win or lose.

Officials on both sides have not stopped either.

Today, "Warzone 9" released a story PV called "Kill the Traitor".

Tomorrow, "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" will release its latest poster, which reads "Break the illusions of the past."

It's not just the players, there's a lot of weirdness among manufacturers as well.

In the past, Naughty Cat had never taken publicity and promotion seriously, or had never encountered any rivals.

At most, competitors hired water armies to mindlessly attack you, which made you seem a bit passive in the situation.

But this time, I really met my match.

After all, the "Warzone" series is an old IP with a history of more than ten years, and the manufacturer is of a certain level. It's just that they are too greedy and don't put enough effort into the production. They make a lot of money every year, which causes complaints from players.

In other words, Naughty Cat has the confidence to hit the market head-on with an action shooting game during the golden period of game releases at the end of the year.

Other manufacturers either release their games in advance or release other types of games that do not conflict with the market.

There are two most common subtitles under the IP of "Call of Duty", Modern Warfare, which is famous for its shocking war scenes, and Black Ops, which is famous for its bizarre plots.

If you don't count the later remakes, there are three Modern Warfare series in total! The campaign plot is very rich and satisfying.

Since it is difficult to gain an advantage through conventional publicity and promotion, Naughty Cat will use its traditional skills.

give away!

Give players half of Modern Warfare 1's story campaign, and play it for free after downloading.

At the same time, the preseason from the release date to the start of the first season is also free to play!

Dear players, now that you have downloaded the game and played the campaign, why not try the free multiplayer mode?

By then, you will be thirsty for the high-quality campaign plot, and will be left wanting more for the stimulating and exciting multiplayer mode.

Are you still worried that you won’t buy the game?

After this announcement was issued, the players were also confused.

[Naughty Cat is still awesome, rich and powerful]

[Competition is good, manufacturers fight each other and players benefit, it’s really good]

[Naughty Cat: Come on, guys, just come and play. Why bring money? You are not giving me face.]

[Okay, I was planning to buy Warzone 9, but now I can just play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and wait and see]

Naughty Cat's generosity instantly ignited the gaming community, and the gunpowder smell also made the spectators very angry.

After seeing the news, Moreno was so angry that his high blood pressure occurred. He directly greeted Southgate's ancestors and all the female family members.

Players don’t know what Warzone 9 is like, so how could Southgate not know?

A DLC modified game!

It's just a number disguised as an orthodox sequel!

No matter how big the DLC is, how big can it be?

It is definitely not as large in size as a normal work and does not allow for as much playing time.

This move is extremely disgusting.

Nelson looked at his boss, whose face was as black as ink, and asked tentatively, "Boss, should we also give away some chapters of the story campaign for free?"

Moreno shook his head with a sullen face and said, "No, there is only so much plot. If we give away more, paying players will feel that their money is not worth it, and it will backfire on their reputation."

"Then, our multiplayer preseason will also be free to play? Or..."

Moreno interrupted in a distracted manner, "No, you know about Naughty Cat's anti-cheat. The problem of cheating is still rampant even when it is paid, let alone free."

"What about giving away in-game props?"

This suggestion made Moreno think deeply for a while, then he nodded and said, "That's fine. Let's hold an event. Participate in forwarding the news of Warzone 9 and you can get a purple-quality gun skin as a gift."

Nelson nodded, accepted the order, then turned and walked out of the office.

Moreno let out a long sigh and cursed inwardly: "What a tough opponent."

Then, just as I was about to work for a while to formulate the anti-cheating budget and allocation, the office was pushed open again and Nelson came back.

He said with an awkward expression: "Boss, what we just discussed may not work."

"It won't work?" Moreno frowned. "You don't want to give Naughty Cat a weapon skin pack as well, do you?"

Nelson said with a bitter face: "Not exactly, it was given by Naughty Cat."

"Lin Mo is really willing to spend money! He is indeed a naughty cat, rich and powerful, and has good means." Moreno gritted his teeth with a grim look on his face, "Bonus! Upgrade the free skin pack to orange!"

But after saying this, I thought the subordinate opposite me would show some surprise, but unexpectedly, Nelson was not surprised after hearing it, and his expression became even weirder.

Moreno: "Why, did Naughty Cat give more than one skin pack? Then keep giving more. No matter how many Naughty Cat gives, we will always have one more than them!"

Nelson had a bitter look on his face, as if he had absolutely no idea what to do.

"Boss, the skin pack given by Naughty Cat is secondary. The main thing is that Naughty Cat also gave a first season pass. It's given as long as you pre-order the game."

When Moreno heard the word "pass", he was really at a loss, and even a little defensive.

No, are you really that rich, Naughty Cat?! You don't even want to earn this money? Just give it away?

For a game that continues to operate, the money from selling passes can support half of the subsequent revenue.

This is also a very important means to support daily active users.

Moreno broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead and felt something was not right.

Once this news comes out, the balance of many players who are still waiting and watching will be tilted.

No, you can't sit still.

"Give it away! Let's give it away too. Whatever Naughty Cat gives away, we'll give it away too!"

With every word he spoke, Moreno felt his heart bleed.

That's all money, it's income.

Moreover, such a move would have to be explained to investors.

But if you don’t send it, you will lose the opportunity and it will be difficult to do anything later.

However, after saying this, Moreno looked up and was horrified to find that the subordinate in front of him still had that hesitant and bitter look on his face.

"Do you have anything else to report to me?"

Nelson glanced at his pale-faced boss and explained carefully, "According to the official information released by Naughty Cat, if you complete the first season pass of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, you will get 1400 CP points. These are exactly the price of the second season pass."

Moreno's eyes went dark.

"Malicious competition!! This is Naughty Cat's malicious competition!! Damn it, damn it! I'm going to sue Naughty Cat!"
