Chapter 478: World of Warcraft Takes China by Storm (First Update)
“Mr· Li, don't worry, Nexon Co., Ltd. and Shanda Group can't win against us!" Ma Huateng smiled and said in a very firm tone.
Li Zetian was stunned, this ...... Sure enough, I have a plan!!
It's no wonder that Tencent in the previous life copied countless times, but I don't see any company that can do anything about Tencent......
"Hmm~~~ That's good!"
The lawsuit between Shanda Group and Tencent is already in full swing.
Plaintiffs: Nexon Corporation and Shanda Group.
Defendant: Tencent Technology (China) Co., Ltd.
Court of first instance: Beijing No. 1 Intermediate People's Court.
Nexon Co., Ltd. believes that QQTANG plagiarized the BNB/Bubble Hall game in many aspects such as game form, content, art editing, etc., infringing the plaintiff's copyright in various works such as Chinese character works, art works and operation methods of the game, and harming the plaintiff's interests in China!
After a while, Ma Huateng called again and briefly introduced the results of the lawsuit.
Ma Huateng smiled: "Mr· Li, we won the lawsuit, and the court dismissed the plaintiff's lawsuit!
"First, the plaintiff does not enjoy the copyright of the community/channel that players can choose in the game, or the player information, the name of the props, etc. ”
"Second, the art works in the actual combat screen of the game, the graphics of the two games are not similar as a whole. Among them, 'laughing means winning and crying means losing' belongs to the category of ideas, and as long as the plaintiff and defendant express themselves in different ways, it is not regarded as copyright infringement. ”
"Thirdly, compared with Bubble Hall, QQ Tang and Bubble Hall do not have the same or similar pronunciation, glyph or meaning except for the same word, and gamers will not confuse the two because they share the same word "Tang". ”
666 Ah, Li Zetian couldn't help but give 100 likes in his heart, Tencent's ability to exploit loopholes is really awesome, but if this is left in the United States, I am afraid that it will be a steady losing rhythm......
Nexon Co., Ltd. and Shanda Group's angry lungs have exploded, such obvious plagiarism is not plagiarism??? is there any royal law?
And then the eggs.
In this lawsuit, Tencent still won.
Plagiarism is a technical job, and Tencent is very good at it, so Nexon Co., Ltd. and Shanda Group will not lose unjustly!
Now that this lawsuit has ended, Li Zetian will no longer ask about it.
"World of Warcraft has been released in China for a while, how has it been received?" asked Li Zetian.
When it came to "World of Warcraft", Ma Huateng immediately became excited.
“Mr· Li, "World of Warcraft" is extremely popular, plus it is free, and there is also the comprehensive promotion of Tencent and Glory Internet café chains, so more than 800,000 people registered game accounts on the first day of the game's release! In the past ten days, the number of registered players has exceeded 5 million, and the highest number of online users is as high as 1.25 million!
"After the computer of the Glory chain Internet café is updated, it seems that the grade has improved, so the Internet fee has also increased, the original was 2 yuan an hour, and now it is 2.5 yuan an hour. But even so, the Glory Internet Cafe is still full, and the business is simply good! Many people don't have a chance to play, so they just stand in the back and watch others!"
"I believe that with the fermentation of word of mouth, there will be more and more players playing "World of Warcraft"! In fact, if it weren't for the fact that many Internet cafes in China can't bring "World of Warcraft" to their computers, there should be more players now!!
Through Ma Huateng's words, Li Zetian has a clear understanding of the popularity of "World of Warcraft" in China.
"How many players are willing to pay for props?" asked Li Zetian.
"For the time being, there are only 30,000 or 40,000 people, and the total sales are less than 2 million yuan. However, the game has only just begun, and I'm sure that when they get completely hooked on World of Warcraft, more people will be willing to pay!"
Many online games don't survive more than 1 year, but World of Warcraft is definitely a "longevity" game, and it was still quite popular in 2016!
The world view of the World of Warcraft game is quite complete, building a huge story background, almost any element in real life is connected in it, and the charm of its game lies in the diversity and strong player interaction, the more you play it, the more you like it. And "World of Warcraft" is almost hanging, which can be called a masterpiece in the game industry!!
Li Zetian's understanding and confidence in "World of Warcraft" should be more than Ma Huateng, and there is no need to rush to make money.
……
……
Early in the morning, several people came from outside an Internet café in Shenzhen, walked into the store, and asked loudly: "Boss, can you play World of Warcraft in your Internet café?"
The cashier at the front desk was embarrassed and didn't know what to say, yes, the computer configuration of their Internet café is very poor, they are all years old computers, and they definitely can't play "World of Warcraft......
A young man said impatiently: "These computers look rubbish, they definitely can't play World of Warcraft, brothers, let's go, let's go to the Glory Chain Internet Cafe!
"Well, that's right, let's go!"
In a blink of an eye, several people immediately left the Internet café.
The cashier of the Internet café shook her head and said: "In the past few days, hundreds of people have been named to play "World of Warcraft", but the computer really can't be moved, so the business will be wasted......
Another cashier nodded: "Yes, the business of Internet cafes has been bleak recently, and they used to be full, but now they are less than half." I heard that "World of Warcraft" is super popular, not only the game is fun, but also the game screen is incomparable, so you need a high-configuration computer to bring it forward! In addition, this game is still a free game, and "Legend of Blood" and "World of Legends" are not as fun as "World of Warcraft", the key is that many players are unhappy that "Legend of Blood" and "World of Legends" are both point card charging games, so since the release of "World of Warcraft", "Legend of Blood" and "World of Legends" players immediately plummeted!
"Yes, the free games are so classic and fun, who would play a paid game!"
"In my opinion, we still recommend that the boss buy a batch of high-configuration computers, otherwise, how will this business continue!"
"Hmm. ”
……
"World of Warcraft" is on fire, those Internet cafes with garbage on the computer, the business is called a bleak!
Countless Internet café owners are so anxious that they are burning their eyebrows......
Computer orders from Lenovo and Mango Computer are flying like snowflakes.
Fortunately, Li Zetian had greeted Lenovo Company and Mango Computer Company before, asking them to go all out to produce computers, even if they couldn't sell them for the time being, they could put them in the warehouse first. Now the supply is sufficient, as long as the order comes, it can be shipped immediately!
From June to mid-July, Lenovo and Mango Computer sold a total of 550,000 computers, and sales are expected to continue to increase in August and September.
