The gossip section of the Game Island Forum.
Although the posts related to the discussion will not occupy the entire section, they are basically the same.
[Mr. Hao is awesome!]
[The creative workshop plans to compete with the electronic entertainment platform for food.]
[Hahaha, let’s fight, let’s fight, let’s fight quickly.]
[Yes, I blamed Yunmeng Games for the failure of "Operation Counter-Terrorism: Siege" before, and later it was blatantly plagiarized by 3C Alliance. I thought Mr. Hao was cowarded, but I didn't expect Mr. Hao to be playing such a big game.]
[As expected of the Human Emperor, his ability to steal is first-rate. (funny)]
[The game platform is one of the basics of DaMi Entertainment. If the creative workshop plans to go to the public, DaMi Entertainment will probably have a headache.]
[Not necessarily, no matter what, the Dianqu platform is still the largest game distribution platform in China. Although the creative workshop has a good reputation in the player circle, it is still too small!]
[Who can say this well? But if it were me, and a game was launched on both the Creative Workshop and the Dianqu platform, I would definitely choose to buy it on the Creative Workshop. After all, buying mods and getting games for free is no better than discounting. (dog head)]
It's not just players who are talking about it, but also people in the game industry.
Compared to the former, the latter is undoubtedly much more exciting.
A group of game designers.
Early in the morning, instead of sleeping, these night owls who were supposed to be sleeping were in high spirits in the water.
The topic of discussion was the announcement published on the official website of Yunmeng Games!
[Is the Creative Workshop going to be open to independent game producers? ?]
[Oh my God, I just stayed up for a few hundred million hours, what the hell did I see!]
[Shit, I won’t say anything else. I’m going to register a developer account right now.]
[Stop talking nonsense, this policy is for the maps published on the creative workshop. You haven’t even registered a developer account for the creative workshop. What a joke.]
[You know what the heck, didn’t you realize that this is Yunmeng Games testing the waters? First develop the game map with its own fans into an independent game, test the response of the file, and then open the platform to other game companies. I don’t believe it. The creative workshop has such a huge traffic now. Mr. Hao is willing to watch this good thing go moldy there? It doesn’t exist, okay!]
It is almost the dream of countless game designers in China to put games on the creative workshop.
Since the 2019 New Year, the creative workshop’s huge traffic and high-viscosity player community have attracted the attention of countless game companies.
However, what is frustrating is that from the beginning, Yunmeng Games did not seem to have any intention of opening the creative workshop to the outside world. It has always used it as its own private area, only listing games produced by its own company.
But now, that seems to be loosening up a bit.
Yunmeng Games has actually begun to try to incubate independent game studios, and also plans to open its platform to these small independent game studios!
Although there is no definite news that the creative workshop will be open to the entire industry in the future, this is undoubtedly a good start.
However, for Dianqu Platform, which is a friendly business, the news is not so wonderful.
Although so far, the Dianqu platform is still the electronic game platform with the largest number of users and the most games on the shelves in China, the moat in this field has never been very high, and user loyalty may not be worth a discount.
What really makes the Dianqu Platform feel threatened by the Creative Workshop is not the steady increase in the number of users of the Creative Workshop, but the fact that the Creative Workshop has done what they have always dreamed of doing.
That’s community!
It’s not that the Dianqu platform doesn’t have community functions, it’s just that the community functions have always been useless. Most players will take a look at the game reviews when purchasing a game. As for the game forums on the Dianqu platform, almost no players pay attention to them.
In order to make up for the shortcomings of the Dianqu platform in community interaction, Xu Qianshi even invested 200 million yuan to create a social software focused on finding "travel friends". As a result, the software was sucked by the Sea Lion Group before it was even launched. , and it’s also the kind that sucks blood passively.
Many players found teammates who played black games together on the software, and then exchanged WeChat accounts, and all the promotion they spent money on became the daily activity of the Sea Lion Group.
After learning the lesson from that time, the top management of DaMi Entertainment almost gave up on building a community for the e-fun platform.
However, the creative workshop that came out in the second half of 2018 gave all Dami Entertainment executives, including Xu Qianshi, a sense of crisis.
This little-known platform actually has community functions!
Not only that, this community has also formed a unique community ecology.
In this ecosystem, a large number of hard-working content creators have been incubated, providing free updates for the game and supplementing a steady stream of content in the form of modules, which even overshadowed the game itself.
And the enthusiasm of those players who use mods for transforming the game has also injected a steady stream of vitality into the entire community.
When the creative workshop opened a content creator account and launched the paid module function, Xu Qianshi had a vague feeling about something bad.
Now that he saw that the creative workshop planned to transform the module into an independent game, he immediately reacted.
"I didn't expect that Hao Yun would not only have e-sports, but also have such big ambitions. I thought they were just a gaming company before, but now it seems I was careless."
The office of the CEO of Rice Entertainment.
Xu Qianshi, who was sitting in the office, looked out the window and sighed softly.
Prior to this, although Yunmeng Games had also released many hit games, he had never regarded the company as his competitor.
But now, the situation is completely different.
Compared with game development, game distribution is the bulk of rice entertainment's profits.
"I don't think we can use common sense to look at this company," Wu Jianhua, who was standing aside, said helplessly. "Do ordinary Internet companies raise pigs? Can they develop hotels? From this point of view, they plan to use their creativity to It’s not too exaggerated to say that the workshop has become an open platform.”
"Whether it's an exaggeration to them or not, it's true that we are in big trouble now."
Xu Qianshi pinched his sore eyebrows and sighed, then returned his gaze to the report on his desk.
This is the sales data of 3C Alliance.
About an hour ago, this report was put together by his secretary and placed on his desk.
No matter how you look at it, the data in this report cannot be called optimistic.
Not only "Operation Counter-Terrorism: Siege", but also the new work 3C Alliance has also encountered Waterloo. Xu Qianshi couldn't help but start to wonder whether his product manager could no longer keep up with this ever-changing era.
After guessing the expression on Mr. Xu's face, Wu Jianhua asked in a low voice in a tentative tone.
"Is there any reaction from the parent company of the group?"
"The group has given us plenty of time. There hasn't been any response yet, but there isn't much time left for us to waste."
When he said this, the expression on Xu Qianshi's face was full of complexity.
Finally, as if he had made some kind of decision, he looked at the secretary standing aside and spoke.
"You go to the product department and ask Wang Fa to come to my office. I want to talk to him about something."
"Okay, Mr. Xu."
The secretary nodded, turned and left.
Wu Jianhua watched silently from the side, not daring to say a word.
Based on his understanding of Mr. Xu, whenever Mr. Xu shows this expression on his face, someone is going to be in trouble...
