Chapter 351: Boycott!
At this moment, there was a commotion in the audience.
Fortunately, there were many security guards to maintain order, and everyone did not react excessively.
There are also many game developers in the audience, and they are the targets of Li Zetian's wooing!
Third-party game developers are very sensitive to the existence of the Battle.net platform, after all, Li Zetian just said that future Flamingo games will be released on the Battle.net platform. Flamingo is the world's largest game publisher, and many third-party game developers rely on Flamingo to publish their games. That said, their future games may also be released on the Battle.net platform.
It's just that third-party game developers are very uncertain about this innovative and bold way of publishing games.
Li Zetian said in a deep voice: "With the development of the Internet, we must recognize a reality, that is, computer games can be downloaded online. For example, the content of the game disc is posted on the Internet by players, and then it is spread like crazy!
Offstage, retailers and game developers were all in the dark, thoughtful. Li Zetian's words talked about their pain points, and many people hated the Internet in their hearts.
Li Zetian paused and said: "The times are different, we must make changes, so the Battle.net platform came into being!"
"The Battle.net platform provides paid games for download, but we all know that players will eventually download these games from other illegal channels, so the biggest core competitiveness of the Battle.net platform is that Battle.net can provide a platform for the majority of gamers to fight online! Only genuine paying players can play online through the Battle.net platform!"
"Here, I solemnly declare that if other platforms illegally use games released by Flamingo, we will definitely take legal measures and severely punish them!"
"If players want to play Counter-Strike online, they have to log in to the Battle.net platform, but only the Battle.net platform !!"
When he said the last few words, Li Zetian's tone was extremely serious, as if with a murderous aura.
Since the Battle.net platform is a paid platform, if it is not stopped, those free platforms will definitely develop rapidly, threatening the status of the Battle.net platform, wouldn't it be a wedding dress for others? Therefore, Li Zetian emphasized that other platforms cannot use the games published by Flamingo Company, which will prevent the development and growth of these platforms.
As a result, the popularity of the Battle.net platform will increase.
Third-party game developers, as long as they are not stupid, will choose to release their games on the Battle.net platform. The more games you have on the Battle.net platform, the more players you will naturally attract. If this virtuous cycle continues, the Battle.net platform will become the world's largest game launch platform!
Of course, as soon as the Battle.net platform comes out, there will definitely be imitators. But Li Zetian is very confident in his heart, as long as the classic games of his previous life are taken out, who will compete?
At this moment, after Li Zetian's words, many game developers' eyes lit up, and at the same time, they also understood the direction of game development in the future: the era of stand-alone games is gradually receding, and games must be able to connect to the Internet!
The retailers in the audience looked left and right, and when they saw that the third-party game developer was going to move closer to Flamingo, their hearts sank, and their faces suddenly became cloudy.
After Li Zetian introduced the Battle.net platform, he went on to develop and introduce "Red Alert".
In the game "Red Alert", players can collect resources, upgrade buildings, build troops to attack, etc., in fact, it is based on the "Dune Magic Castle" to make modifications, according to the real country, with the confrontation between the two major alliances led by the Soviet Union and the United States as the background, players can freely choose the country, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, etc......
As the first real-time strategy game, "Dune Castle" has been deeply studied by many people in the audience, but "Red Alert" still shocked them.
Red Alert takes real-time strategy games to a new level, with visuals, game variety, balance, story setting, immersion, and two-player versus four-player battle modes.
The game game of "Red Alert" is playing on the screen, and Li Zetian acts as a game commentator, speaking in a colorful and interesting manner, and he makes a joke to everyone from time to time according to the battle situation of the game, and people can't help but be surprised that Li Zetian is so interesting as a game commentator.
Li Zetian didn't think it was anything, probably he had watched a lot of game commentaries in his previous life and was infected with some of their characteristics.
Although "Red Alert" is not as shocking as "Counter-Strike", it is also a classic, and many people like it very much!
The third-party game developers in the audience were very emotional.
"Flamingo will be able to grow the Battle.net platform with just two games, Counter-Strike and Red Alert!
"Both games are very confrontational, they belong to competitive games, and online battles are the core highlights! ”
"As long as there is a genius Chronos· Li is in charge of the Flamingo Company, and we have to look up to the mountains!"
"Well, who said it wasn't, I just didn't know that we were going to release the game on the Battle.net platform, and the Flamingo would have to collect a percentage of the revenue......"
"It's probably like releasing a game on a flamingo console, two to three percent, right?" said one game developer, uncertain.
Li Zetian did not announce at the press conference how much he would accept from third-party game developers, and this kind of thing obviously depends on the specific company of the other party. If the other company is very famous and the game developed is very popular, the flamingo company will naturally charge them less.
The whole press conference lasted more than two hours before it ended.
After everyone left, some people rejoiced, and some people worried.
But there's no doubt that the Flamingo company is famous again and will soon shock the entire gaming world!
Counter-Strike and Red Alert are about to take the world by storm!
And the Battle.net platform has become the talk of all brick-and-mortar game retailers.
By the next morning, hundreds of retailers had signed a threat to Flamingo.
At this moment, Li Zetian was at the Flamingo Company, and he looked through the glass window at several retail representatives outside the office, with a sneer on his face.
Bushnell had a slight sadness on his face: "Mr. · Li, there are now more than 300 retailers who are strongly opposed to the Battle.net platform. They said that once the Battle.net platform goes live, they will collectively remove Flamingo games!"
