The fact that Facebook Games, which had been in a lot of uproar, sued Winger Games and many Internet café chains suddenly became quiet.

When many media reporters were wondering, everyone found that the winger game has been revised again, and in the new version, the battle area has disappeared and changed to the same as before......

In addition, on its official website and in the Hangzhou Daily, Winger Games published a letter of apology in the name of the company.

In this apology statement, the general manager of Winger Games sincerely admitted that Winger Games infringed on Ogilvy Software (now Facebook Games) and was ashamed of Winger's fault. He assured that in the future, the winger game platform will abide by the law and discipline, and will never do similar things, and ask the public to supervise it......

At the same time, Facebook Games has quietly dropped all charges from the courts, including Winger Games and the Internet café chain.

The matter was settled, and many people thought that Facebook Games was a bit anticlimactic this time, but no one knew what Facebook Games had gained, and it would take a while to see this.

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

The merger of Ogilvy Software into Facebook is not a hassle, and the company has a total of two branches in China, one in the capital and one in the magic capital.

It is said that it is a branch, but in fact it is an office, and each place rents an office and employs a few employees.

Because Ogilvy does not build its own sales channels, he sells through large channels such as Lianbang Software and Xinhua Bookstore, and the daily work of the office is responsible for communicating with sales channels and loading goods.

It can be said that the core asset of the entire Ogilvy, in addition to the agency of those games, is Brian himself.

After all, without him, Ogilvy wouldn't have been able to get the agency rights for those games.

After this acquisition, according to the acquisition agreement, Brian will have to work at Facebook Games for three more years, because there are still three million remaining balance payments in the form of salary.

Nominally, Effie did not treat him badly, and gave Brian the position of vice president of Facebook Games, mainly responsible for the introduction, acquisition, and operation of single-player games.

When Brian came to work at Xinzhuang Science Park on his first day, Effie found him and asked, "Mr. Brian, I remember the last time you said that you used to work at Blizzard, and that you were the company that made masterpieces such as Diablo, Warcraft, and StarCraft?"

Brian smiled proudly, in the game industry, Blizzard in those years was a god!

There is a sentence that veteran players must know, that is, "Blizzard production, it must be a high-quality product!"

The famous Diablo, Warcraft, and StarCraft are Blizzard's products, and these games can be said to have influenced an era...... game circle.

Of course, after the passive vision acquisition, Blizzard is no longer the original Blizzard, the core personnel are almost gone, and there are no more amazing boutique games to launch.

"Of course, I've worked on Diablo and Warcraft games, and I'm very familiar with the people at Blizzard. He laughs.

"Oh, I heard that Blizzard is working on an online game right now, is that the case?" asked Effie curiously.

"Huh, you know? There's such a thing, this game is called World of Warcraft, born out of the Warcraft single-player game, I went to Blizzard headquarters some time ago, and I heard them introduce this game. Originally, I was going to represent this game, but unfortunately now that something like this has happened, is Mr. Ai also interested in this game?" Brian said.

Many people know that the World of Warcraft was introduced to the mainland, and the agency company was Jiucheng, and Jiucheng, a small company that was originally unknown, also shined because of World of Warcraft and made a lot of money.

But few people know that this game was supposed to be Ogilvy Software.

Ogilvy and Blizzard do maintain a very good relationship, and Blizzard's games are distributed and sold in mainland China through Ogilvy and Mather.

Why didn't Ogilvy get the agency of World of Warcraft?

This starts with Ogilvy's own death.

World of Warcraft is a large-scale online battle game, and Blizzard has high hopes for this game, so it requires agents around the world to have enough strength. Originally, Ogilvy was also a little powerful, and Blizzard also agreed to hand over World of Warcraft to Ogilvy to act as an agent.

But there is one point, Ogilvy has no experience in operating online games, and World of Warcraft has about a year to go on the market, so Ogilvy is ready to act as an agent for one or two online games to practice, accumulate experience, and prepare for the agent of World of Warcraft.

So, Brian flew to South Korea next door and introduced three kimchi online games in one go, "Nine Dragons", "Peacock King" and "Open Heaven", as a result, these three games are worse than the other, and the most outrageous "Peacock King" died violently in the publicity stage, and it was not launched to the market at all.

The other two games are also half-dead after the open beta, not only do they not make money, but they have to lose a lot of money every month.

This is one of the reasons why Brian wants to sell the company, because he has a hunch that it is impossible for him to represent in World of Warcraft.

Ogilvy's act of death eventually led to the glory of the Nine Cities.

Before there was no proxy for World of Warcraft, Nine Cities was a forum, called a virtual community.

Among the oldest group of netizens, there should be some people who still have a little impression of the former Ninth City, which is a so-called virtual community. Of course, the boss of Jiucheng is still very discerning, and when he saw that there was no future for making money in a virtual community, he began to transform.

Shanda's success has made many people red, and the boss of Jiucheng is also one of them, everyone is in the magic capital, why does Shanda make a lot of money, no, I also want to engage in online games!

So, in 2002, Nine Cities introduced Miracle MU.

Since then, Jiucheng has begun to take off, and at the end of 2003, talking about World of Warcraft has put a pair of wings on Jiucheng.

At the most glorious time, Zhu Jun, the owner of Jiucheng, was worth as much as 10 billion yuan and bought the Shenhua Club in the magic capital.

In terms of burning money in football, the current fans only know Boss Xu of Evergrande, and few people remember Boss Zhu of Shenhua.

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

Of course, since Yu Wenfei had those strange dreams, many things have changed or are about to change. At the very least, the cash cow of World of Warcraft, Jiucheng should not be able to get it.

Ogilvy is now being acquired by Facebook Games, and with the strength of Facebook Games and the relationship between Brian and Blizzard, no one else will want to intervene.

Effie talks to Brian to put this on the agenda.

Facebook Games will definitely not only be a chess and card game platform, Yuwenfei spun off this company separately, and gave 100 million US dollars in the first round of financing, how could Effie be allowed to make a small fuss here.

Chess and card game platforms, online games, online battles, and even later acquisition of game studios, develop their own games, and then establish their own game sales platform!

Anything in the gaming industry, Facebook Games will get involved.

And 2003 is also the most suitable time! Because in China, except for online games, there is basically no competition, and even game development talents are easy to recruit, because everyone wants to make quick money and go abroad to represent games, and no company is willing to spend a year or two or even longer to develop games with an uncertain future.

Hearing that Effie was planning to represent World of Warcraft, Brian also came to his senses, and he danced and said: "Mr. Ai, this is definitely a wise decision for you! That game, let me tell you, is definitely a hundred times more fun than the most popular Korean games such as legendary miracles in the mainland now! In my opinion, the two are definitely not the same grade work." Legendary miracles are like fast food, that is, junk food such as burgers, hot dogs, instant noodles, and World of Warcraft is definitely a delicacy carefully cooked by a three-star Michelin chef! Believe me, after the introduction of World of Warcraft, players in the continent will definitely go crazy for it!"

Effie smiled and nodded, although she didn't think that World of Warcraft would be much better than games like Legendary Marvel, in Effie's eyes, as long as it can make money, it is a good game, there is no difference between high and low, only the difference between earning more and earning less!

Since Yu Wenfei specifically mentioned that this game was going to be won, then she would take it at any cost.

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

On April 30, Tencent issued another announcement, announcing that the QQ game platform will be officially launched tomorrow, that is, at 8 a.m. on May 1st!

The QQ game platform is really ill-fated, revised again and again and postponed again and again, tossed until now, not to mention that the expectations of players have been exhausted, and even Tencent's own employees have no passion.

So it's just a QQ pop-up notification, and there is no "deadly serial pop-up" like last time.

Of course, after such a long time of polishing, according to internal employee evaluations, the functionality and quality of the platform are still quite good.

In comparison, all the game platforms on the market, that is, the Facebook game platform and the QQ game platform are on par, and the others are counted as one, which is not comparable to the QQ game platform in terms of functionality, stability, and user-friendliness.

But what makes Xiao Ma wonder is that the Facebook game has been too calm recently.

After the acquisition of Ogilvy, everyone thought that Facebook Games would soon launch its own battle function, and everyone was still envious of this.

After all, how hot CS is now, everyone sees it.

It's a pity that this piece of meat now belongs to Facebook Games, and few people have the courage to "pull teeth out of the tiger's mouth".

But the strange thing is that the Facebook game platform has not launched any new battle features, and the recent updates of the platform are only about board games.

Insiders say that the developers of Facebook Games have been working overtime recently, but there is no news on what exactly has been developed.

What the hell is Facebook Games up to?

In fact, Facebook Games is indeed developing new products, and the reason why it has not been launched for so long is because Effie has high requirements, and for the company's products, Effie's only requirement is that Facebook products must be high-quality!

Yes, this player's praise for Blizzard was unceremoniously taken by Effie as a request for his company's products.

In her opinion, what is Blizzard, and the future Facebook game will inevitably be more famous than Blizzard, and there will be more high-quality products!

Maybe this is what Yu Wenfei likes about her......
