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

Moreno's head was buzzing.

Regardless of whether it is an open conspiracy or an underhand plot, one thing is now certain.

Even if you know there is a tiger in the mountain, you still have to go there.

Even if you know it is a poisonous bait, you still have to grit your teeth and swallow it, praying that you won’t be poisoned to death.

At this time, CMA officials repeatedly confirmed this matter with the representatives of Juying Company and received a positive answer.

Approved Juying Company’s acquisition of Baofeng Entertainment.

However, the acquisition process can only begin after the IP of "Road to Heaven" is split out and the review of another IP "War Zone" is completed.

This is just an appetizer.

"Warzone", one of the two IPs that Microsoft is most concerned about, they will personally handle the antitrust review of this part.

And it’s time to get serious.

I guess passing the review won't be a problem.

It seemed that the road ahead would be smooth, but Moreno always felt more panicked.

That weird smile from Philfu.

After that, there were some more procedures.

Philfu really didn't say a word. If he was asked, it meant he agreed, and if he didn't ask, it meant he acquiesced.

There's really no need to trip up anyone.

After the hearing, things went so smoothly that it was even a little weird.

Moreno returned to the Lighthouse State with a heavy heart.

Finally, we can prepare for the release of "Road to Heaven 4".

The release date is set for August 8, exactly three months later.

The news of IP splitting also spread, causing an uproar.

Just take a look at the official forums.

[Are you kidding me, Baofeng Entertainment? Selling IP? Are you crazy?]

[Damn Moreno, it's you who brought Baofeng Entertainment into hell, go to hell, rubbish]

[Is Road to Heaven 4 going to be the last game? Oh my god, this is the game I’ve been playing since I was a kid]

[I want to file a petition and sue this fraudulent company in federal court! ! ! ]

This is not just the case in forums in the Beacon Country, it's the same all over the world.

The players were all shocked by this sudden news.

My favorite game series since childhood has to be split off just to pass antitrust review?!

A gold-digger abandons her original husband in order to marry into a wealthy family?

Many loyal players of the series feel like they have been NTFSed.

Calls of traitor were heard one after another, and Moreno's name spread throughout the player community in a short period of time.

It is simply that anyone can kill him.

Once the most loyal player, he now wished he could chop off the head of Baofeng Entertainment with his own hands.

There were even extreme players who sent threatening letters to the headquarters of Baofeng Entertainment, with a bullet casing inside.

Moreno was exhausted.

Even PR didn't know what to do.

This is a very bad sign.

The biggest capital for the acquisition is the three IPs once dubbed the "three big mountains", namely, Cosmic Rift, War Zone and Road to Heaven.

Another is a loyal, large and mature player community.

Now, one of the three big mountains has exploded.

The loyal player community also had irreconcilable conflicts with the official.

the next day.

We must concentrate on dealing with the IP splitting issue and complete it before the deadline.

According to the news, there are quite a few potential partners.

But in line with the tradition of taking advantage of your illness to kill you, the price offered was far from what was expected.

"3 million dollars? You can obviously grab it, but you still submit an offer to me?"

"With 5 million dollars, you still dare to say you are sincere? Get lost!!"

After a round of looking, he felt that the first offer of $9 million, which he looked down upon, was a good deal.

Just when Moreno was worried, the Ministry of Commerce brought "good news".

"Boss, there is a buyer who has made a very reasonable offer. He said he can pay 45% first and then complete the payment in installments."

After Moreno heard the offer, his eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "Who is it? Which company?"

"It's the naughty cat from China."

Naughty cat?

The person who is best at creating IP in the world wants to buy "Road to Heaven"?

How can it be?

When Moreno heard these three words, he felt like his brain had crashed.

Not right.

He quickly sat back at the computer and found Lin Mo’s personal Twitter.

【Lin Mo (v): Hello, dear players. I am very sad to hear the news that Baofeng Entertainment is forced to split the IP of "Road to Heaven".

I am a person who loves games very much. I still remember the happy times I had playing "Road to Heaven" 2 and 3 on the computer when I was a child. Those were some of the best moments in my life.

Although I cannot help Baofeng Entertainment overcome its difficulties, I still want to do my best.

I will try my best to purchase the copyright of "Road to Heaven" and develop a sequel that will absolutely satisfy the fans of the series to thank Baofeng Entertainment for creating wonderful moments for the players.

Even if it fails, I will develop a spiritual sequel to commemorate this classic IP.

[Picture][Picture][Picture]】

The tweet also attached a picture, which was the game save file of "Road to Heaven 3".

The length is not short, more than 800 hours.

Read the comments below again.

[Is it true? Lin Mo is still playing the game of his mortal enemy? If Naughty Cat makes a sequel to this IP, it would also be a good choice]

[I don’t know, right? On that Chinese bullet screen video website, Lin Mo’s personal homepage has a game guide for “Road to Heaven”]

[Lin Mo really likes playing games, so he can make good games. I believe such a producer will not treat this IP unfairly]

[Support splitting to Naughty Cat]

[I support it too, thanks to Naughty Cat! ]

"Lin Mo!! How dare you?? Damn it, I will never sell it to you even if I die!!"

"Boss, let's..."

"Not for sale!!! Get out!!!"

The people from the Ministry of Commerce shuddered and quickly packed up their things.

Good luck slipping.

Leaving Moreno gasping for breath in the office.

"Insult, this is an insult! Damn it, damn it!"

I don't know since when everything started going wrong?!

Moreno held his breath.

Many things seem to be connected, but they are not so clear.

From then on, I could only deal with IP splitting during the day and rack my brains to think about it at night.

I always feel that it’s not over yet.

I had peace for a week, but also suffered a week of scolding from players.

During this period, Naughty Cat repeatedly and very "sincerely" expressed his desire to purchase the copyright of Road to Heaven.

But they were all blocked by Moreno one by one.

I thought after so many rejections, it would calm down, right?

But why does Naughty Cat want to buy the Road to Heaven so much?

When I couldn't figure it out.

Unexpectedly, Lin Mo suddenly started a live broadcast.

The content is the previous work "Road to Heaven 3".

When Moreno heard the news, he clicked on it immediately.

Today we will take a closer look at what the naughty cat is up to.

Along with him, a large number of players from home and abroad have flocked in, asking frantically about IP issues, which is also what the industry cares about most.

Lin Mo was neither hurried nor slow, controlling the archer character inside, using deft operations to dodge one fatal skill after another from the opposing BOSS.

[Oh my god, this operation really requires an old player]

[Mr. Lin, has Baofeng Entertainment agreed to sell the IP? When will the sequel be released? ]

[If Naughty Cat accepts, will there be any changes to the game? Some core settings must not be changed]

[If you develop a spiritual sequel, when will it be released? ]

However, Lin Mo turned a deaf ear to them and just played the game, then told some small stories that players cared about from a designer's perspective.

After a few pictures were posted, I saw that the live broadcast room was gaining popularity.

Lin Mo read the comments and said, "Well, Baofeng Entertainment has not responded to me yet, so the deal is likely to fall through. But don't worry, no matter who the IP is sold to, the spiritual sequel will definitely be released and will satisfy you. As long as possible, it will be available on all platforms."

[What should I do? I only have XGame]

[A spiritual sequel is also fine, when will it be released? I can’t wait]

[I don’t want to see the traitor Baofeng Entertainment’s “Road to Heaven 4”]

Seeing the players' excitement, Lin Mo smiled and told them a shocking piece of news.

"In fact, the spiritual sequel is being promoted. The British North Star Studio has long had this intention and has applied for cooperation with Naughty Cat. You can rest assured that Naughty Cat will provide financial and technical support and full support! In fact, the name of the game can be announced. The new game is "Diablo", I hope you like it."

In the barrage, some people are questioning whether this unknown company can do a good job.

But most people were partying.

Naughty Cat's production capacity is well known.

In other words, with this sentence, it will take no more than half a year before the game comes out.

Players were having fun, but some were hit hard.

In front of the live broadcast room.

Moreno's mind was blank and he almost vomited blood.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

The clues are connected, all connected, and the puzzles can be explained.

I even suspected that it was Souni at first, but I never suspected that it was Naughty Cat.

He was used to Naughty Cat being open and aboveboard, and winning one business war after another with the strength of his works. He never expected that the young man with black hair and black eyes could be so vicious when playing tricks behind his back.

Moreover, they are so familiar with the twists and turns of the West and know how to use local laws to profit for themselves.

This is a rare phenomenon in the gaming industry, which has a relatively honest business environment.

If what I just heard in the live broadcast room is true.

Then this is really a big chess game.

The game began from the day the century acquisition was announced.

The incident happened suddenly and Naughty Cat had no time to respond.

So I came up with this trick.

A small British studio, Northern Star, used the CMA rules to delay the release of "Road to Heaven 4" by three months!

Not only did it cause trouble for Juying Company and damage to Baofeng Entertainment, it also squeezed out three full months.

This time is enough for Naughty Cat to make an excellent game and move the main battlefield from outside the game to inside the game.

What Northern Star Studio is looking for Naughty Cat to cooperate with?

Bullshit!

They definitely hooked up when the Northern Star Studio started causing trouble.

During the three months of delay, Naughty Cat squeezed out time to make the so-called "Diablo".

What spiritual sequel, bah!

Buying the IP was a follow-up move, the purpose of which was to use the controversial incident of Baofeng Entertainment to promote their own games.

Standing on the moral high ground, launching a dimensionality reduction attack from a high position.

Recently, players have felt that Baofeng Entertainment is a traitor, which is worse than making a crappy game.

How many loyal fans of Baofeng Entertainment can be won away by this move?

do not know.

I guess, there shouldn’t be a few.

As for whether Baofeng Entertainment is sold or not, it is already a small matter.

What Naughty Cat wants is a legitimate reason.

In the name of spiritual sequel, they are actually poaching employees.

Even if Baofeng Entertainment is not sold, it’s fine.

It can also save some money.

Insidious and vicious.

"Vile, so vicious!! Lin Mo, damn it, why do you always target me?!"

Um.

It seems like it was Baofeng Entertainment that publicly started trouble with Naughty Cat first?

It does not matter.

I'm causing trouble for you, so you're going to drive me to death?!

At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Moreno's mind.

He knew that as long as he made this move, Naughty Cat would only win and not lose.

In any case, the company that suffered the most damage in the end was definitely Baofeng Entertainment, followed by Juying Company.

I guess Souni’s mouth is probably crooked from smiling at this moment?

Even Soni, who tried every means to trip up the company, did not cause such big trouble and make Juying Company and Baofeng Entertainment so uncomfortable.

There is a deep regret in my heart.

Naughty Cat was not putting on a show, it actually made an offer to Baofeng Entertainment, and not just once.

Now it seems that I should have sold it in the first place.

At least Naughty Cat’s offer is very sincere.

If I go to sell it now, will I be able to sell it?

I guess it's a bit confusing.

The one who chases after it is not a business.

And the trend is already set, there is no need to buy Naughty Cat anymore.

Players' hearts have long been drawn to the so-called spiritual sequel.

This time, we lost both the wife and the troops.

After several years of production and huge investment, it ended up like this.

The publicity and promotion have all served the so-called spiritual sequel "Diablo", and its own reputation has been ruined.

A spiritual sequel?

Go and fool the devil!!!

I don't believe you would be so kind!!

It is simply to make Baofeng Entertainment die suddenly and make the century acquisition plan fail!

At this time, people in the live broadcast room had been chatting for a while.

[When will the spiritual sequel be released? ]

[The partner is a small workshop, can it be trusted?]

Seeing that there were many questions in the barrage, Lin Mo directly gave the release date, an accurate answer.

"August 8th, please stay tuned."

[So early? Damn, you are indeed a naughty cat, your production capacity is really strong]

[Earlier than Road to Heaven 4? Great, I’ll buy it when it’s available for pre-order]

【shut up and take my money! ! 】

After hearing this, Moreno immediately closed the live broadcast room.

I almost smashed the monitor.

Once the release date of "Road to Heaven 4" is set, it cannot be easily changed, as this involves antitrust investigations and the splitting of IP.

The impact is estimated to be not small.

Moreno gnashed his teeth and cursed, "Damn it, don't think you won. In this category of games, Baofeng Entertainment is second, and no one dares to claim first place! Lin Mo, your five or six years of game development career, can compare to my company's more than ten years of accumulation?!"

"Just wait! As long as the IP is successfully split out, the revenue hole can be filled. When the time comes, facing the giant hardware company, I wonder how long you can be so proud!"
