Shanda Group's development of Shanda IM was kept secret in order to prevent Tencent from coming up with a way to deal with it in advance.

In fact, Tencent QQ is the southeast and northwest wind of Ren'er, and I am unmoved.

Game IM belongs to a kind of weak relationship chain.

Players don't play this game anymore, and this game IM will become a "lonely city" and "ghost town", losing a lot of popularity.

In the long development of IM, many companies such as Shanda Group and NetEase have not developed game IM, but what is the result?

QQ is different, relatives and friends are on QQ, this relationship chain is not easy to break, like a steel wall.

As we all know, according to the Dunbar number principle, a person's stable daily social network is about 150 people, that is, if you want another IM to replace qq, then you have to mobilize at least 50 to 100 people to use the new product, otherwise you will definitely fall into the loneliness of no one on all sides. What's more, many people's address books are far more than 150 people. What is the cost? It's an insurmountable chasm!!

Therefore, Shanda IM, on which Shanda Group has great hopes, is destined to not replace the position of qq.

Chen Tianqiao, Son Zhengyi and others are secretly complacent, or ambitious, but they will all be disappointed in the end.

……

Originally, Battle.net was only a part of the "Flamingo Game Platform", but Battle.net and Battle.net Points were too famous, so Flamingo decided to change the name of "Flamingo Game Platform" to Battle.net. It's not uncommon for a website to change its name because a product brand is more famous.

Today, Battle.net has grown to become the world's largest gaming platform, with more than 500 million users.

The world's top games will be released on Battle.net, such as South Korea's "Legend of Blood", which is poorly produced, has rough graphics, and is suspected of imitating "Diablo Breaker", which is not eligible to be on the Battle.net platform at all.

I didn't expect it to be a big mess in China, and it simply fell through the eyes of many people.

In fact, "Legend of Blood" is not popular in other countries except in China, including South Korea itself.

On November 30th, Shanda Group was going to release "World of Legends", and before that, promotional advertisements had been overwhelming on the Internet. Obviously, I want to take advantage of "Legend of Blood" to make it popular!

Naturally, Battle.net and Tencent cannot sit idly by and remain indifferent.

Just one day before Shanda Group officially released "World of Legends", Tencent and Flamingo made an agreement. World of Warcraft, developed by Blizzard, a subsidiary of Flamingo Inc., will be co-distributed by Tencent and Battle.net!

Battle.net has in-depth cooperation with Tencent, and the two companies jointly represent "World of Warcraft", which shows how strong the promotion of this game is!

"World of Legends" and "World of Warcraft" look like they want to play against each other.

It's all "World", who is strong and who is weak, and which game is fun, which has attracted the attention of the media and players.

……

On the evening of November 39th, Shanda Group.

"I knew that Tencent would definitely make a big move!" Chen Tianqiao said with a gloomy face, gritted his teeth, and said hatefully, "It's just that I didn't expect Tencent to join forces with Flamingo ...... company!

"Mr. Chen, the situation in China is different, and the cooperation between Tencent and Flamingo is indeed a win-win strategy!" a Shanda executive analyzed, "In China, Tencent has so many QQ users that Flamingo also wants to turn these users into its own." Blizzard was originally a subsidiary of Flamingo Corporation, and the more Blizzard earned, the more Flamingo earned. Obviously, if "World of Warcraft" is handed over to Tencent to act as an agent, it will be able to get a large number of users, and Flamingo will make more money. At the same time, it can also give Shanda, Jiucheng, NetEase, Giant Network and other companies a heavy blow!"

"Yes!" Chen Tianqiao couldn't help but nodded.

Afterwards, everyone began to discuss how to deal with it.

Chen Tianqiao and others are still full of confidence in "World of Legends".

"I don't say which game is fun, after all, we haven't played World of Warcraft yet. But as far as I know, "World of Warcraft" has very high requirements for computer configuration, and with the current computer configuration of Chinese Internet cafes, I am afraid it is difficult to bring this game! This has limited the development of "World of Warcraft" in China!"

"Hehe, yes, watch the promotional video, the picture quality of "World of Warcraft" is amazing, and the computer in an ordinary Internet café will definitely not be able to move! Just imagine, playing a game and fucking stuck all the time, who is still in the mood to play!"

"Haha......"

There was a burst of laughter in the conference room of Shanda Group.

It's just that...... Didn't Tencent, Flamingo, Blizzard, and Li Zetian realize that computers in Chinese Internet cafes couldn't move World of Warcraft?

Since Blizzard developed World of Warcraft, Li Zetian has thought about this problem for a long time.

Indeed, the development of the Internet in China is slower than that of Europe and the United States, and the upgrading of computers in Internet cafes is also slow.

In order to promote World of Warcraft, the only way to do this is to upgrade the computer configuration of the Internet café.

To this end, Li Zetian has already formulated a detailed plan.

……

Shenzhen, Ant Factory.

In many workshops, countless workers are producing computers from Lenovo and Mango Computer.

No matter what happens to other Internet cafes, Li Zetian's Glory Internet café chain will all be updated before "World of Warcraft" officially lands in China!

Li Zetian believes that as long as other Internet cafes see the popularity of "World of Warcraft" in the Glory chain of Internet cafes, there should be many Internet cafes excited. At this time, Lenovo and Mango Computer can take the opportunity to launch installment payment activities to attract some Internet café owners who lack financial resources or are hesitant. This has boosted the sales of computers, and the computer configuration of Internet cafes has improved, and the number of people who play World of Warcraft has naturally increased!

November 11th is coming, and "World of Legends" is hotly opened.

World of Warcraft is also in open beta in North America.

"World of Legends" is similar to "Legend of Blood", and the player's curiosity and sense of expectation are not strong, and it has only caused some sensation in China.

However, "World of Warcraft" is a game that players around the world are looking forward to, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looking forward to this game.

On the day of the open beta of the World of Warcraft game, countless American gamers fell into a state of frenzy, sitting in front of the computer, waiting for the game to start, and shouting slogans to the music.

"For the !! of the Tribe"

"Orcs will never be slaves!!"
