Men generally like guns, and Li Zetian also has a soft spot for the game "Counter-Strike", especially like to use sniper rifles, sniping, blind sniping and other skills, and he plays very well. At the time of Li Zetian's crossing, the "Counter-Strike" series of games was still one of the most popular games in the world, such as "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive", which was more realistic than "Counter-Strike" and was deeply liked by players.

Li Zetian misses "Counter-Strike" very much, so he thought of developing "Counter-Strike" just after formulating the Internet café project in China. With the current level of technology, it is enough to develop Counter-Strike.

Li Zetian then turned his head to look at several people in charge of estood Studios, "Red Alert" is a very classic real-time strategy game, and before the development of "StarCraft", it was also very popular.

The game operation and graphics of "Red Alert" are not as particular as those of "StarCraft", so Li Zetian did not choose to develop "StarCraft", but developed "Red Alert".

Dune Castle is the world's first real-time strategy game, developed by estood Studios, which has experience in developing real-time strategy games. In addition, Red Alert was originally developed by estood Studios in its previous life, so it was most appropriate for this game to be developed by estood Studios.

Li Zetian said to them: "In the game of "Red Alert", players can collect resources, upgrade buildings, build troops to attack, etc., in fact, it is modified on the basis of "Dune Magic Castle", 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.

The eyes of several people in charge of estood Studios suddenly lit up, "Red Alert" and "Dune Castle" are very similar, but after Li Zetian's change, the game has a more sense of substitution and national mission.

At this time, Li Zetian specially reminded: "Real-time strategy games pay great attention to balance, and each country's weapons and equipment must not be too strong, otherwise it is easy to ruin a game." ”

"Hmm!" everyone nodded, naturally understanding the importance of game balance.

Li Zetian said: "The specific game design of "Counter-Strike" and "Red Alert", I will send you later. Now, I'm going to say something more important. ”

Saying that, Li Zetian glanced at everyone and said slowly: "Both "Counter-Strike" and "Red Alert" can be connected to the Internet, not only on the local area network, but also on the Internet, so that players around the world can fight online. After a pause, Li Zetian said loudly, "With this, I want to establish a 'Battle.net' platform on the Internet, providing players to pay to download games directly on the Internet, and play against each other through the 'Battle.net' platform! In the video game industry, Flamingo has become the hegemon with the Flamingo console, and all third-party game developers have to rely on our snort." And in the computer game industry, I hope that the 'Battle.net' platform will become our most important weapon like the Flamingo console, allowing third-party game developers to release games on the platform!"

After Li Zetian finished speaking, the people present were stunned, their faces were shocked, and they looked at Li Zetian with stupid eyes, surprised by his eloquence and strategy.

It turns out that the development of Counter-Strike and Red Alert is not a sin.

The drunkard's intention is not to drink, and building a "battle network" platform is the most important task of Flamingo.

“Mr· Li, my admiration for you is really five-body casting, how did you come up with the idea of building a 'battle.net' platform?" Bushnell looked at the high-spirited Li Zetian, and sighed in his heart. Li's genius is always so amazing!

John Carmack and the others looked at Li Zetian with a deep admiration in their eyes, and at this time, they couldn't help but feel proud that they had joined the Flamingo Company.

"The genius idea of the Battle.net platform is really eye-catching. Li is the most genius of all time, and with him, who company can compete with him?" John Carmack couldn't help but feel sad and sorry for the other companies.

The Flamingo console dominates the world, causing third-party game developers to follow Flamingo to eat together.

Now, if the Battle.net platform is successfully built, the computer game industry is dominated by Flamingo, which is simply terrifying.

Everyone present was very smart, and after Li Zetian talked about the Battle.net platform, they all realized the importance of Battle.net, which is not worse than the Flamingo game console at all!

Seeing them so shocked, Li Zetian showed a smile and said, "With the development of the Internet, the importance of Battle.net will become increasingly prominent. If Counter-Strike and Red Alert are both very popular, it's easy to get the Battle.net platform to grow. In the future, Flamingo's computer games will be released directly on Battle.net, and players can pay to download them, so they don't need to go to the store to buy game discs, which is much more convenient. As long as the popularity of the Battle.net platform is high, third-party game developers will naturally be willing to release games on Battle.net. After that, a virtuous cycle, Battle.net will become the world's largest game publishing platform!!"

Li Zetian's words made everyone very excited. As the CEO of the company, Bushnell quickly discovered the problem and couldn't help asking: "Mr. · Li, if a player downloads a game, it's easy to copy it and then distribute it online, wouldn't that be detrimental to our interests?"

Li Zetian smiled and said, "Bushnell, you are right to be worried. However, in the age of the internet, the game fee model has changed. ”

After speaking, Li Zetian looked at Bushnell and the others, and did not tell them immediately, but asked them to think. Li Zetian, as the richest man in the world and the helmsman of countless companies, has no skills and can't do everything, so many things still need to be done by themselves.

Everyone saw that Li Zetian was deliberately considering them, so they all thought about it.

Bushnell frowned and muttered, "Has the game fee model changed? What is the change? On the Internet, games can be uploaded and downloaded at will, which is definitely a major blow to game developers......

John Carmack pondered: "Surely the change in the way games are charged has something to do with the Internet?"

“……”

Li Zetian smiled faintly and leisurely tasted red wine.

Dongfang Yuqin, who was sitting next to him, smiled at the corner of her eyebrows, she already knew what the game charging model was, and when she thought of the first time she heard it, she couldn't help but be surprised and admired, but she didn't know if they could think of it......

After Li Zetian drank a glass of wine slowly, he asked, "Have you come up with it?"

Everyone shook their heads.

“Mr· Li, don't sell it, just say it!" Bushnell laughed.
