"Okay!"

Li Zetian nodded in response, putting himself in his shoes, if Li Zetian himself did not travel from 2016, he would not have imagined that the game charging model would change dramatically. What's more, it is still 1992, although the Internet has developed, but after all, it is not prosperous enough, and many things are still in the exploration stage. It is reasonable that Bushnell and others can't think of it, and if they do, Li Zetian will feel strange and shocked.

"You all know the importance of the Battle.net platform, but you may not know enough about Internet games. Li Zetian looked at everyone and asked, "For players, does he like to play stand-alone games alone, or do he like to play with others on the same game platform?"

"Of course, I like to play with other people!"

"That's right!" Li Zetian said with a smile, "No one likes to be lonely, and playing games alone is very lonely and boring." Therefore, the future development direction of Internet games must be multiplayer online games, whether it is shooting games, or other types of games, games that cannot be connected to the Internet will definitely be eliminated. For games to be able to connect to the Internet, they need a platform, and Battle.net is this platform!! we can't stop games from spreading wildly on the Internet, but ...... If a player's game isn't pay-to-play, then they won't be able to connect to the Battle.net platform!"

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized that something seemed to burst out of their heads, just a little bit, as if they wanted to come out, but it was still a little bit close.

Li Zetian looked at their enlightened expressions, smiled and reminded: "Actually, we don't sell game software!"

"And what are we selling?" Bushnell was stunned.

The rest were also puzzled.

"The computer games released by Flamingo in recent years must be available on the Internet, which seriously damages the company's interests. It's just that the internet is a magical place that simply can't stop the spread of pirated games. This should be the best for you. So, we're not selling game software. As for not selling software, how can you make a profit?" Li Zetian smiled and explained: "First of all, players need to register a Battle.net account, when a player buys a certain game, the game will be bound to a Battle.net account, and in the future, players will be able to use the Battle.net account to play this game online on the Battle.net platform!"

As soon as Li Zetian finished speaking, Bushnell couldn't help but grow his mouth, "It's that simple?"

"Yes, it's that simple!" Li Zetian nodded with a smile.

Everyone thought about it, but found that this game charging model is actually the best way!

For a while, everyone worshiped Li Zetian again.

“Mr· Li, if you think about it, it's simple, but it's the best! Why didn't I think of it?" John Carmack scratched his head and smiled bitterly.

Li Zetian said with a smile: "There are some things that are just a kick in the door, even if I don't say it today, you will think of it in the future." ”

In fact, this game charging model is still too conservative, and the games in the previous life were generally on the bus first, and then the money was paid. It's free first, and then you pay the money while playing the routine. Since it was only 1992, game developers used to sell game discs to make money. If you tell them that the game is free, I'm afraid that many third-party game developers can't accept it.

In order to develop the battle network, Li Zetian had to come step by step.

When Battle.net has accumulated a certain amount of strength and changes the charging model again, there will be nothing.

Next, Li Zetian and Bushnell discussed in detail the development and development of the Battle.net platform, which ended in the evening.

At the same time, Li Zetian asked Dongfang Yuqin to hand over the design materials for "Counter-Strike" and "Red Alert" to id Softare and estood Studios.

…………

In the evening, Li Zetian left the Flamingo Company.

Before leaving, Li Zetian thought of Blizzard again.

Produced by Blizzard, it must be a classic.

Games such as "Diablo", "StarCraft", "Warcraft", "World of Warcraft", and "Dota" are so classic that Li Zetian is extremely impressed.

Before Li Zetian's crossing, "LOL League of Legends" was very popular, and the development team of this game was actually the team that Blizzard left.

"Bushnell, have you ever heard of Silicon & Neural Bonds?"

Before leaving, Li Zetian asked.

Silicon vs Neural Bonds??

Which company came up with such a strange name.

Bushnell thought for a moment and shook his head, "No. ”

"No?!" Li Zetian said in astonishment, thinking, could it be that because of the butterfly effect, Blizzard is gone?

Bushnell then said, "Mr. · Li, don't worry. Maybe it's too small for me to hear of, after all, there are thousands of third-party game developers that work with our company, and I can't know about every single one. But don't worry, I'll have someone look up this silicon and nerve bond company later, as long as it's a game development company, it will definitely be related to Flamingo. ”

"Well, then you have someone look it up. Li Zetian said.

Nolan Bushnell couldn't help but ask curiously, "Mr. · Li, what the hell is Silicon & Neural Bonds that caught your attention?"

"Oh, I heard a friend talk about the company, but I don't know the specifics. Li Zetian shrugged.

"I see. ”

……

……

At noon the next day, Li Zetian's phone rang.

“Mr· Li, I'm Bushnell, and you asked me to look up the Silicon & Neural Bonds company, and I've found out, and there is indeed this company, which was founded last year by three graduates of the University of California, Los Angeles. They have successively released a game on the Flamingo console platform called "RPM Racing", and it has achieved good results. According to my research, they are now working on a film called The Lost Vikings, which is barely a big production. The game tells the adventure story of 3 Vikings who were robbed by monsters and returned to their homes, and the type is a relatively rare platform action + puzzle form. ”

"Hmm!" Li Zetian replied lightly on the surface, happy in his heart, fortunately, Blizzard was not destroyed because of the butterfly effect.

Then, Li Zetian asked, "What do you think of the game "The Lost Vikings"?"

"Very good!" Bushnell praised from the bottom of his heart, "This game has a lot of levels, there are 37 levels, the graphics are vivid and interesting, the mechanics are cleverly conceived, and the sound effects are good." I think it could be a big hit!"

"In that case, you might as well send someone to contact them and see if they are willing to accept our acquisition and become a game development studio owned by Flamingo Corporation!" Li Zetian said.

"Okay, I'll send someone to contact them right away. ”

After hanging up the phone, a smile appeared on Li Zetian's face, with the attitude and game design ability of the founder of Blizzard and the entire development team, Blizzard will definitely be able to create a brilliant past life!
