Chapter 363: CS Grand Prix (Page 1/1)

On the other hand, the game studio has also made new moves.

Qin Lu used her foreign connections to successfully reach a cooperation agreement with Valve.

You may not know about this company, but I believe you have heard or played a game developed by this company.

Counter-Strike, also known as Half-Life, is the CS series we usually play.

Speaking of this hardcore shooter game, it can be said that it is an eternal classic in the hearts of players around the world, and even it can be regarded as the pioneering production of FPS games, which once caused a frenzy in the world game market.

Then, despite its popularity, the game also sold very well abroad. But at home, it has suffered setbacks one after another.

The CS series of genuine game CDs sold in China, or the game source is pitiful. It can be said that 99% of the Internet cafes in China, and 95% of the players, play pirated games, which is what we call the cracked version, or the green version.

Although Valve has made a lot of efforts, it has not made much progress because the protection of domestic intellectual property rights is relatively backward.

Although there is a huge game market in China, and their games have been welcomed by many domestic players, they have received little revenue in China.

Especially in the past two years, they originally signed an agency agreement with a domestic game company for CS games. But it hasn't been many games yet, a news company came out, CF designed after CS games, and set off a wave of frenzy among domestic FPS players.

This had a great impact on a single-player game like CS, and completely shattered Valve, which had just seen hope.

What makes Valve even more angry is that many of the maps and even designs in CF are copied from CS in their original form. When Valve filed an objection to stop the infringement, the answer was disappointing.

So under FAW, Valve sued a certain Xun. But according to the domestic rules, if you sue a company there, you have to go to the company's place of registration.

As a key tax-paying enterprise in Shenzhen, it naturally has a huge advantage in local operations. Although the infringement is certain and the evidence is conclusive, the news is still the old routine, sending a strong team of lawyers to carry out delaying tactics.

You can drag it out for as long as you can, even if you can't win the lawsuit, but at least you can make a lot of money during the period of delay.

After a year or two, if the game doesn't work, then just take it off the shelves, and then pay a symbolic loss. If you make money, then you have earned enough in the past two years, and when the time comes, you will lose a little and then buy the copyright, what does it matter?

So now for Valve, although they are angry, they have nothing to do and face reality.

And at this time, Qin Lu and the others came to the door and offered to act as an agent for CS's domestic copyright. This made Valve's senior management very different, and even Wellington, one of the founders, was very honest and asked Qin Lu if there was any mistake.

Now some of the CS products have been suppressed very miserably in China, and now they are agents, aren't they waiting to lose money.

In this regard, Qin Lu smiled and said, although CF is very popular in China now, there are still many old players who are loyal to the CS series of games. As long as the business is good, there may be a light at the end of the tunnel.

As a game platform, even if there is not much income, it is a gain for them to collect some classic games.

After a series of negotiations, Qin Lu and they represented the game at a price of 125,000 US dollars per year, and reached a long-term strategic cooperation agreement with Valve.

Originally, this long-term strategic cooperation agreement was prepared to facilitate Qin Lu and them to obtain subsequent version updates of CS games in the future.

But after Han Li got the news, he was very excited. You know, the current few versions of the CS game are undervalued by CF, but soon, the new version of the CS game that Valve has withdrawn from will bring the CS game into a new stage of development, and the CS game will be revived.

And this new CS version has a familiar name, called "CS:GO".

You must know that Qin Lu and his family are now buying CS game copyrights in order to add a classic game to the website and play a role in drainage.

So after they buy the game back, it will be put into the game platform for free for everyone to play.

And in order to attract players and bring players a better gaming experience, the Zhige game platform will also provide a web server for this game.

In this way, players can use the Zhige game platform to play online games with players.

To be honest, old FPS gamers will be very unaccustomed to playing CF, one is the slow reaction speed, some lag, and the other is that the installation package of this game is huge, and the way of doing business is very disgusting.

So after this game became popular for a while, many players returned to CS games.

Therefore, if the Zhige game platform provides a network server, it will attract a considerable number of players, which can have a good drainage effect on the game platform.

And in order to promote the game platform, Qin Lu and they are also preparing to organize a CS game Grand Prix, with a total prize of 500,000, including 300,000 for the first place, 100,000 for the second place, and 50,000 for the third place. The remaining 50,000 will be awarded to the MVP player with the most kills in this Grand Prix.

So as soon as this news spread, it immediately received the attention of the entire domestic player base.

In one year, there were already many professional game leagues and professional game players in Suri, but the overall development was slow and received little attention.

I think that the prize money of some domestic game competitions is only tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands. And now the 500,000 Grand Prix, especially the 300,000 prize money for the first place, has become a serious gluttony for many professional players.

So for a while, the major teams have said that they will participate in this competition, and for this reason, many Internet cafes, or college students and young people who are interested in this competition, have also set up some new teams and are ready to sign up.

And this is Qin Lu's strategy, wanting to attract the attention of more players through this Grand Prix. Thus not only promoting the game, but also attracting a large number of players to the gaming platform.

And Han Li looked further, he hoped that this competition could be held successfully. Then borrow this game to make a CS game professional face at home in China, so as to dock with foreign CS leagues.

And in this regard, CF does not have, which is also their competitiveness.

What's more, if you don't drink more, Valve will release a new game, which is CS:go.
