Chapter 346: Recent Situation of Fireflies
Although the VB console suffered a Waterloo, Nintendo is not so easy to collapse, and many of their games such as "Super Mario" and "The Legend of Zelda" are very classic, even Henry has to admit that Nintendo has a strong heritage!
However, this time the departure of Yokoi Junhei did cause a great loss to Nintendo. And Atari getting a talent like Yokoi Junpei also made Henry feel much more at ease with Atari. In addition, Atari's $350 million acquisition of Square Enix this time also greatly enhanced the strength of Atari. Square Enix's Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy series are both very classic games!
In vain, Henry discovered that he had actually bought Capcom and Square Enix, Japan's most controversial "king of cold rice...... Uh, okay, continue to fry cold rice, the sequel is infinite, as long as you can make money.
If Atari has begun to dominate the video game industry, then Firefly Games is invincible in the PC industry!!
Let's take a look at what games Firefly Games has come up with.
First of all, Blizzard, they launched two games "Warcraft II" and "Diablo" this time, two games, online registration code sales of more than 10 million, offline game disc sales of more than 1 million, become a very popular game at the moment.
Then there is Westwood, which launched a game that shocked the world - "Red Alert", once released, in just one week, the registration code sales exceeded 4 million, becoming the hottest real-time strategy game at present, even more popular than "Warcraft 2"!
This was followed by id Software, who launched Quake, which became the most popular game among PC shooters!
Firefly Games, in addition to launching several games, has also gone on an acquisition spree!
On April 20, 1995, Firefly Games acquired BioWare. The company went on to produce very classic games "Baldur's Gate", "Neverwinter Nights", ......
On May 4 of the same year, Firefly Games acquired Wizards of the Coast. Wizards of the Coast was amazing, and in 1993, the company created its first trading card game, Magic: The Gathering. The game quickly became popular in the United States and around the world, becoming the most famous collectible card game. It was even published in 10 languages, and it was officially listed as a sport, and even Henry, who was already very calm and mature, played it. Magic was so popular that Wizards of the Coast took advantage of the situation to acquire its biggest competitor, TSR, the same tabletop role-playing game for Dungeons & Dragons!
Dungeons & Dragons has had a great impact on tabletop role-playing games (TRPGs) and has had a great impact on role-playing games. Many later games of the same genre were influenced by its rules, especially BioWare, from which Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights were adaptations. Buying Wizards of the Coast is equivalent to owning the rights to Dungeons & Dragons, and BioWare will not have to pay royalties.
Wizards of the Coast Corporation is the most well-known in the card space. And the ability to make card games is also the best in the world. Henry also plans to launch super fun card games such as "Three Kingdoms", "Yu-Gi-Oh", "Pokemon", and "Hearthstone" in the future!!
In June of the same year, Firefly Game Company then acquired Taiwan's Daewoo Information and officially entered the Taiwanese game market. Daewoo Information has three major studios: DOMO Group, Fanatic Group, and Angel Group. Henry was most impressed by the fanatic group, because "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was produced by the fanatic group. On July 15th, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was officially launched, and the poems and music in the game are very classic, which greatly improves the taste of the game. It didn't take long for it to become popular throughout Taiwan and dominate the Taiwanese game rankings
Daewoo Information is more famous in addition to "The Legend of Sword and Fairy". There are also "Monopoly" and "Xuanyuan Sword", both of which are quite popular with Chinese!
Firefly Game Company continues to play good games, and has launched a series of acquisitions, almost leaving other game companies far behind. In the list of the top 10 most popular PC games in the world, Fireflies alone have 8 spots: "Quake", "Diablo", "Red Alert", "Warcraft 2", "FIFA1994", "FIFA Football Manager", "Grand Theft Auto", "Need for Speed"!
All PC game companies in the world are overshadowed by Firefly Games!!
According to Video Game Monthly, "The PC gaming world. Firefly Games kicks off Age of Empires !!"
According to the New York Times, "Firefly Games has a lot of money and has been making crazy acquisitions, which will widen the gap with other game companies!"
The host of the ABC TV game channel said: "It's unbelievable that the games produced by Firefly Games are so fun, what is hidden behind this? Dozens of experts, professors and scholars in the United States tried to study the secret behind the success of Firefly Games, but found nothing......"
Netizens left a message:
"In a word, fireflies are awesome, don't explain!"
"Fireflies are really rich, and they buy other game companies every once in a while!"
“……”
Rival companies: "Monsters that have not been seen in a hundred years in the gaming world!!"
"When I see fireflies, I feel hopeless and powerless!"
"I used to think fireflies were shiny and beautiful. But now, I hate it to death!!"
“……”
There is a saying that if you don't recruit envy, you are mediocre! Although there are countless game companies that criticize Firefly, many companies have to rely on Firefly Game Company. Because, Firefly Game Company has two major PC game platforms - Firefly Game Platform and Steam Platform.
Many companies have made a lot of money on these two platforms!
However, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and seeing that the firefly game company makes N times more money than themselves, they are naturally unbalanced. There are many companies that have set up their own portals and built their own game platforms, but basically, the end is bankrupt! After experiencing failure, they have realized that not everyone can do a game platform......
So, I had to go back to the platform of Firefly Games.
The Firefly game platform and the Steam platform are getting bigger and bigger, basically in a monopoly position, with a daily income of more than $50 million, and the Firefly company can get $10 million just for ordinary draws.
Currently, Blizzard is working on StarCraft and Diablo 2, ID Software is working on CS Counter-Strike, Westwood is working on Command & Conquer, and other recent acquisitions are working on their own famous games!
In order to make money on the game, Henry has carried out the gold finger to the end, and he wants to buy all the game companies that will make money in the future, and if he really can't buy it, then develop it himself!!
Henry needs a lot of money to develop technology, and games and entertainment can bring him a huge income!
"I'm making money to change the world, Amen......" Henry smiled as he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his office as he watched the golden sunset.
