was forced to apologize, and went offline to play the area, in fact, it still had a big impact on the winger game platform.

Originally, because of the launch of the battle area, and it is the only game platform on the whole network to launch this function, during this period of time, the user growth rate of the winger platform is very fast!

And the number of daily active users is also very objective.

Those who play CS, Warcraft, and Interstellar have much higher stickiness than chess and card users!

It turns out that the average daily online time of users of the winger game platform is only two or three hours, because there are many users who may also take time to play cards and chess at noon or night.

But this battle game is outrageous, especially at night, and those users are online all night long!

There are often people who continue to be online for more than ten hours, and the technicians of the winger company are frightened, for fear that those users will have physical problems, in case of sudden death or something, the impact will be too bad.

But now, these worries are gone, because the battle zone is offline.

This time, the winger game platform was beaten back to its original form.

The number of daily active users has dropped from more than 500,000 to nearly 1 million at a peak to about 200,000 now.

Looking at the data statistics sent by the manager of the technical department, Mr. Tao and several executives sighed with a sad face.

"Hey, I finally saw a glimmer of hope, is that all?" Vice President Wang said unwillingly.

"Otherwise, what else can we do? It's not easy to reconcile with Facebook Games this time, and they didn't let us make financial compensation, but they still gave face. Mr. Tao said with a wry smile.

Facebook couldn't afford to mess with it, so they discussed whether there were any other countermeasures.

"Why don't we make an online game?" someone suddenly suggested.

"Oh, it's too risky, we don't have that much money to spend on it. Mr. Tao shook his head and vetoed.

People in the Internet industry, especially those who make games, certainly know how profitable online games are right now.

But because of my understanding, I know that in addition to games like the popular legend on the market, which can make a lot of money, there are many online games that die miserably.

Don't talk about anything else, Ogilvy, who just had a lawsuit with them, was not greatly hurt by online games.

Just at a loss, Mr. Tao's assistant knocked on the door and walked in, "Mr. Tao, Shanda called over there and said that he wanted to make an appointment with you to meet and talk." ”

Grand?

Mr. Tao was stunned, this company is in full swing.

In the game industry, Shanda is currently the absolute boss, relying on a legend that makes countless people drool with envy.

It is no exaggeration to say that Shanda's introduction of legends can be regarded as a "little crooked" to the mainland's game development skill tree......

Because Shanda easily made a lot of money, even when he didn't have any game developers at all and didn't have any technical accumulation, he relied on the introduction of a kimchi game to transfer the sign.

Therefore, this has aroused the eyes of countless people in the domestic Internet industry, and everyone has pounced on online games like a pack of wolves.

Since then, the rise of the domestic online game industry has been accompanied by the decline of stand-alone games and even the research and development of the entire game industry!

No company has the patience to make a big game in a few years, and no one has polished any game details and made any innovations. With that money, isn't it good to go abroad and introduce a few ready-made online games, a small investment will yield quick results!

The domestic game circle has become a dung pit, everyone is rotten, and most domestic players can't get access to high-quality foreign game masterpieces anyway.

This situation, combined with the policy restrictions of a certain department in the country, has not changed even after 20 years.

............

"What's the matter with Shanda looking for me......?

Mr. Tao muttered to himself, and suddenly his heart moved.

He thought of Facebook Games' acquisition of Ogilvy and Mather, and Lianzhong once sought cooperation with Tencent.

This is also very possible, after all, both companies are engaged in online games, of course, one is engaged in large-scale online games, and the other is engaged in chess and card game platforms.

It does not constitute a competitive relationship, but complements each other, and if you can cooperate, it is definitely the effect of one plus one greater than two.

............

May 1, Labor Day.

This day was another lively day, especially in the Internet circle, where several big news broke out one after another.

The first is the launch of Tencent's game platform, which announced that Tencent, a social giant, has officially entered the online game industry.

Of course, everyone has known this for a long time, and Tencent's game platform has not been launched until now, which can be regarded as a twist and turn.

Second, Shanda announced the wholly-owned acquisition of Hangzhou Winger!

That's big news.

The winger has just had a big fight with Ogilvy and Facebook Games because of the infringement lawsuit, and after being defeated by Facebook Games, everyone thought that this company was going to be demoralized and dormant for a while, but who knew that it would turn around and hook up with Shanda!

Shanda is a rich big financier, in terms of cash flow and capital reserves, it is estimated that there is no Internet company in China that can compare, including Facebook!

The winger found such a strong backer, and the game industry will be lively in the future.

Facebook, Tencent, Shanda, the Three Kingdoms compete for hegemony.

These three, any one of them is brought out, they are all giant-level companies, and now they are getting together to make games, is the wind direction of the Internet starting to change again?

If it's just these two things, it's not much of a buzz, especially for players, who won't be interested in learning about them.

What really caused a stir on the Internet was the launch of a new gaming platform by Facebook Games!

The name is "Facebook Battle.net"!

Without warning, it was launched on May 1st, and it was still an open beta period.

Originally, Facebook already had a board game platform, and now why it has launched another game platform, which is something insiders can't figure out.

However, after everyone opens the official website of Facebook Games and clicks into the "Facebook Battle.net" area, they will understand the functions of this new platform carefully.

Facebook Battle.net, and Facebook chess and card game platform, is a completely different new platform.

On Facebook Battle.com, there are no board games, only a few large areas, namely "CS Zone", "Warcraft Zone", "StarCraft Zone" and "Diablo Zone".

These games were all represented by Ogilvy and Mather at the beginning, and of course, they now belong to Facebook Games.

In addition, Facebook Battle.net does not provide simple battle functions like the previous Winger game platform.

On this new platform, there is also a perfect point system and division of ranks!

This is the advice given by the big boss Yu Wenfei personally, and Yu Wenfei directly informed the developers of how to divide the ranks.

The big ranks are from low to high, Brass of Valorant, Indomitable Silver, Glory Gold, Precious Platinum, Brilliant Diamond, Extraordinary Master, and the highest rank "The Strongest King"!

In addition to the Transcendent Master and the Strongest King, the rest of the ranks are also subdivided into five sub-ranks, from the fifth level to the first level, and they are promoted in order.

In order to highlight the glory of the Transcendent Masters and the Strongest King, there are only 500 Transcendent Masters and 100 Strongest Kings in each regional server!

............

The reason why Facebook Battle.net has been online for so long is to develop this complete set of rank system and point system, which is not a simple matter.

In order to develop a new platform in the shortest possible time, Yu Wenfei also ordered Li Xin's project team to support all the past, as many as more than 200 technicians, who worked tirelessly for more than half a month before it was developed.

In between, there is also Brian's credit.

He has flown to the United States to communicate with Blizzard and V on behalf of Facebook Games.

Facebook Games itself is now the agent of these two companies in China, and it is considered its own person, and now in order to promote these games, Facebook Games is willing to invest more energy and financial resources, and Blizzard and V Society are of course happy to see it.

Therefore, it has given strong support in the technology developed by Facebook Battle.net.

In fact, in foreign countries, Blizzard and V Society have a battle network, especially Blizzard's battle network, which is very mature in technology, and only needs to modify the relevant programs and directly take them to China for use.

What really took a lot of time was the points and rank system, how to perfectly integrate with the game, and after the player battle, it can process data in real time, and make point changes, as well as rank promotion!

It is no exaggeration to say that Facebook Technology Company, if you change any Internet company in China, you don't want to develop these functions in a short period of time.

Yu Wenfei spent money on recruitment in the early stage, and hoarded the benefits of a large number of top technicians, which once again highlighted itself.

In the Internet industry, talent is the primary productive force!

Yu Wenfei has long understood this truth, and many peers have not understood or taken care of it at this time.

Because talent is not something you can recruit if you want to, it requires sufficient financial support and a considerable reputation of the company.

............

"What??Facebook Games has launched a new platform??Facebook Battle.net?!"

At Tencent headquarters, Xiao Ma looked at the technical manager opposite with a shocked face.

"That's right, they must have done it on purpose, just one point after the launch of our game platform!" said the manager of the technical department indignantly.

Brother Pony didn't care about him, reached out to open the computer, and logged on to the official website of Facebook Games.

After setting up a separate company, Facebook Games also quickly launched its own official website, with an easy name to remember, OM.

As soon as the homepage of the official website of Facebook Games opened, a large eye-catching banner came into view.

"Facebook Battle.net, officially launched for public beta! The dream of 200 million mice is waiting for you to fight!"

The background picture is the image of the police and bandits in CS!

Five policemen and five bandits stood on both sides, raising AKs and holding M4 and rushing forward.

"Tsk, the dream of 200 million mice...... Are there really so many people playing this CS?" said Brother Ma sourly.
