Villa in Swan Pond Mansion.
A high-octave sound came from the entrance in front of the living room and poured into the eardrums of Hao Yun who was sitting on the sofa.
"Bitch! Something bad has happened. A game has copied and pasted your map!"
Looking away from the laptop on his knees, Hao Yun glanced at Lin Jiaojiao, who was running hastily from the entrance, and spoke calmly.
"Is that game called Chenghai Alliance?"
"No," Lin Jiaojiao said quickly, shaking her head like a rattle, "It's called 3C Alliance, but that's not the point! I saw someone posted on the Internet that the gameplay of this game is similar to the one you made. The maps are exactly the same, only the model has been reskinned.”
When she said this, the little girl clenched her fists. Her expression could not be said to be one of indignation or gloating, but it could be a combination of both, or she could simply be watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
Emotionally speaking, she hoped to see Hao Yun become defeated. Not only because this hateful guy stole his little treasury, but also because this guy stole his sister who was playing with him.
However, from a moral point of view, the actions of Da Mi Entertainment and ALX Studio are shameful for a noble Azeroth player like her.
Compared to the complex emotions surging in the little guy's heart at the moment, Hao Yun, the person involved, didn't feel much at all. At most, he only had a hint of surprise on his face.
"3C Alliance? I didn't expect those guys to change their names."
"Is this the point?" Lin Jiaojiao looked at him with hatred and said, "People have already copied your game and made it into an independent game and sold it for money. Why are you not worried at all?"
Hao Yun gave Lin Jiaojiao a strange look.
"Why should I be anxious?"
These words stunned Lin Jiaojiao.
After staring at him blankly for a long time, the aura exuding from her body became a little weaker unconsciously, and her voice also dropped a few decibels.
"Isn't this a matter of course? The independent game they made is exactly the same as your map! Is this your reaction?"
Looking at this little girl who was even more excited than himself, Hao Yun smiled lightly and said.
"So what if it's exactly the same as the map I made? Do they still expect that this map can attract all the players of Warcraft? If they really have this plan, I'm afraid they don't even know why Warcraft is so popular now. figure out."
"What's more, since DOTA was launched, Chenghai 3C has long been no longer the number one map in the creative workshop. The reason why they hurriedly released this game in advance is probably because they were worried about waiting any longer. I can’t even take advantage of the heat.”
"While it's hot... what does it mean?" Lin Jiaojiao asked confused.
"It's nothing, it's just a metaphor," Hao Yun said in an understatement. He paused for a moment and continued, "Besides, it's not like I haven't made any preparations these days. Chenghai 3C, which will be suspended for two weeks, will welcome This is the biggest update since it went online, and when the time comes, they will find that what they have copied is just a version that will be eliminated soon.”
"I bet they'll be more anxious than us by then."
…
Hao Yun's judgment was very accurate.
In fact, even before that time, Wang Fa and ALX Studio were already as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
With the launch of the DOTA map, this three-way MOBA gameplay quickly became popular in the entire gaming circle at lightning speed, and even had a faint impact on the originally stable MMORPG market.
Only one hero can be controlled in each game, and an evenly matched game lasts forty minutes on average. In theory, each game is a completely different game experience.
The first ones to be occupied were the game areas of major live streaming platforms.
Originally, before this, 80% of the anchors in the game area were broadcasting World of Warcraft, and the content of the live broadcasts ranged from competitive competitions to entertainment maps.
When the DOTA map was first launched, almost 80% of Warcraft anchors switched to live broadcasting on this new map. Some live broadcast platforms even created a separate category named after DOTA.
Driven by this trend, not only Warcraft players are now interested in this map, but also many cloud players who have never played Warcraft and only watched anchors play it on the live broadcast platform can't help but buy it. I bought the game and was drawn into the creative workshop family.
As a result, some people on the Internet even ridiculed that the creative workshop is called a DOTA launcher, and the act of paying to purchase the original Warcraft game is called buying a map and getting a free game.
Affected by this, even the sales of Warcraft have increased a lot because of the advent of this new map.
Under such circumstances, almost all other independent client games released during the same period were affected to a certain extent.
Not to mention games like 3C Alliance, which have similar gameplay and positioning.
On the first day of the game's launch, this new work from ALX Studio, which has countless halo around its head, only sold 100,000 copies on the Dianqu platform.
And this is under the premise of spending money to hire a lot of Chenghai 3C head anchors to promote it!
According to the unit price of 99 yuan per copy of the game, if this trend continues, let alone meeting the original expectations, even recovering the investment cost will become a luxury.
Wang Fa almost found in despair that this 3C Alliance, which he had devoted a lot of effort to, was actually not as good as the previous "Counter-Terrorism Operation: Siege".
After all, even if the sales of "Counter Terrorism: Siege" are so low, at least they will get their money back from this game...
The only consolation is that Hao Yun, as a map maker, does not seem to take the 3C League to heart, a game that is obviously sidelined and seduce their popularity.
Both Yunmengji Tu and Hao Yun acted as if they had never heard of this matter and did not care about them at all.
However, the Yunmeng Group's disregard did not make Wang Fa feel relieved. On the contrary, behind this strange calm, he always felt that a rough storm was brewing.
And the most terrible thing is that he has no idea what action the other side plans to take.
These days, he has been staring at the official website of Yunmeng Games almost every day.
He had never taken this upstart game company seriously, but he had never paid so much attention to the company's developments. So much so that he felt that he was about to suffer a neurasthenia...
On the third day after the 3C Alliance went online, what was supposed to come finally came.
Yunmeng Games published an announcement on its official website.
It's short but packed with information.
In order to thank the original creators of the Creative Workshop for their hard work, Yunmeng Games will initiate a vote with the consent of the creators, and select ten high-quality original contents for independent game adaptation based on player votes.
The adapted game will be exclusively available on the Creative Workshop.
In addition, as a platform, Creative Workshop will invest 10 million to establish an independent game creator fund to help map creators set up their own studios and maintain subsequent updates of the game.
As soon as this news came out, not only Warcraft players, but almost the entire industry was shocked...
