Men generally like guns, and Li Zetian also has a soft spot for the game "Counter-Strike". When Li Zetian crossed over, the "Counter-Strike" series of games was still one of the most popular games in the world, such as "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive", which was more realistic than "Counter-Strike" and was loved by players.
Li Zetian misses "Counter-Strike" very much, so he thought of developing "Counter-Strike" just after he developed an Internet cafe project in China. With the current state of the art, it's enough to develop Counter-Strike.
Li Zetian then turned to look at the heads of several Westwood Studios companies. "Red Alert" is a very classic real-time strategy game. Before the development of "StarCraft", it was also very popular.
The game operation and graphics of "Red Alert" are not as particular as those of "StarCraft", so Li Zetian did not choose to develop "StarCraft", but "Red Alert".
"Dune Castle" is the world's first real-time strategy game, developed by Westwood Studios, which itself has experience in the development of real-time strategy games. In addition, "Red Alert" was originally developed by Westwood Studios in the previous life, so it is most suitable for this game to be developed by Westwood Studios.
Li Zetian said to them: "In the game "Red Alert", players can collect resources, upgrade buildings, build troops to attack, etc. In fact, they are modified on the basis of "Dune Castle". With the confrontation between the major leagues as the background, players can freely choose countries, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, etc. ”
The eyes of several heads of Westwood Studios suddenly lit up. "Red Alert" is very similar to "Dune Castle", but after Li Zetian's change, the game has a more sense of substitution and a sense of national mission.
At this time, Li Zetian specially reminded: "Real-time strategy games attach great importance to balance, and the weapons and equipment of each country cannot be too powerful, otherwise it will easily ruin a game."
"Yeah!" Everyone nodded, naturally understanding the importance of game balance.
Li Zetian said: "The specific game design of "Counter-Strike" and "Red Alert", I will send you later. Now, I want to say something more important."
Having said that, Li Zetian glanced around the crowd and said slowly: "Both Counter-Strike and Red Alert can be connected to the Internet, not only the local area network, but also the Internet, so that players from all over the world can compete online." After a pause, Li Zetian said loudly, "With this, I want to build a 'Battle.net' platform on the Internet, allowing players to download games directly on the Internet for a fee, and play through the 'Battle.net' platform! In the TV game industry, Huo Lie Bird Corporation has become the dominant player with the Flamingo game console, and all third-party game developers have to rely on our breath. In the computer game industry, I hope the 'Battle.net' platform can become our most important platform like the Flamingo game console. weapons for third-party game developers to publish games on this platform!”
After Li Zetian finished speaking, the people present were stunned and shocked. They looked at Li Zetian in amazement, surprised by his majesty.
It turned out that the development of "Counter-Strike" and "Red Alert" is not important.
The drunkard's intention is not to drink alcohol. Building the "Battle.net" platform is the most important task of Flamingo.
"Mr. Li, I admire you so much. How did you come up with the idea of building a 'Battle.net' platform?" Bushnell looked at the high-spirited Li Zetian, and was filled with emotion. Chronos Li's genius is always so Stunning!
John Carmack and others looked at Li Zetian with deep admiration. At this time, they couldn't help but feel proud of joining the Flamingo Company.
"The genius idea of the Battle.net platform is really eye-catching and surprising. Chronos Li is indeed the most talented person in history. Flamingo has him, which company can compete?" John Carmack at this time Can't help but feel sad and pity for other companies.
The Flamingo game console dominates the world, causing all third-party game developers to follow the Flamingo company.
Now, if the Battle.net platform is successfully built, the computer game industry, and the Flamingo company will dominate, it is simply too scary.
Everyone present was very smart. After Li Zetian talked about the Battle.net platform, they all realized the importance of Battle.net. It is no worse than the Flamingo game console!
Seeing them so shocked, Li Zetian smiled and said: "With the development of the Internet, the importance of Battle.net will become increasingly prominent. If both "Counter-Strike" and "Red Alert" are very popular, it is easy for the Battle.net platform to become popular. In the future, Flamingo's computer games will be released directly on Battle.net, and players can pay to download it without having to go to the store to buy game discs, which is much more convenient. As long as the Battle.net platform is popular, third-party game developers can Naturally, there will be a willingness to publish games on Battle.net. After that, a virtuous cycle, Battle.net platform can become the world's largest game publishing platform!!!"
Li Zetian's words made everyone very excited. As the company's CEO, Bushnell quickly discovered the problem and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Li, if players download the game, it's easy to copy it and spread it online. Wouldn't it harm our interests?"
Li Zetian smiled and said, "Bushnell, you are right to worry. However, in the Internet age, the game charging model has changed."
After finishing speaking, Li Zetian looked at Bushnell and the others, did not tell them immediately, but let them think. As the richest man in the world, Li Zetian is at the helm of countless companies.
Everyone saw that Li Zetian was thinking about them, so they all started to think.
Bushnell frowned and murmured: "The game charging model has changed? What is the change? On the Internet, games can be uploaded and downloaded at will, which is definitely an important blow to game developers..."
John Carmack muses: "The change in the game charging model must have something to do with the Internet?"
"… "
Li Zetian smiled lightly and sipped the red wine leisurely.
Dongfang Yuqin, who was sitting beside him, smiled. She already knew what the game charging model was. When she thought of the first time she heard it, she couldn't help but be extremely surprised and admired, but she didn't know if they could think of it...
After Li Zetian drank a glass of wine slowly, he asked, "Have you figured it out yet?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Mr. Li, don't give a shit, hurry up and say it!" Bushnell laughed.
