Chapter 301: Chapter 300: spying on the enemy
What if they couldn’t get the copyright?
All the models would have to be changed, and even the names and t.i.tles of some heroes would have to be modified. The names of the equipment in the game would also have to be redone.
Although for big players like GA, this kind of change was not too troublesome, it was too damaging to the original group of players of COG. Many people liked COG because they liked the hero characters in Azeroth. If all of them were changed, the whole spiritual essence would be different.
However, there were also speculations that Clive Lehmann and GA wanted to make the game a game that would be popular all over the world, and wouldn’t be restricted to the original player base. So to them, even if they couldn’t get the copyright, it would only be a small setback, it wouldn’t be a big blow.
Some people were confused.
Some people felt pity.
However, Chen Mo’s goal of releasing League of Legends first was achieved. Even though the game wasn’t widely promoted yet, it still attracted a lot of attention after it was released during the special break before the new year.
……
Emperor dynasty Entertainment’s headquarters.
Lin chaoxu looked at the demo of League of Legends on his computer screen and frowned.
…
To him, this matter was very confusing.
Emperor dynasty entertainment had already heard from GA that Chen Mo had rejected their offer to buy the rights to Warcraft characters, and was very firm about it.
This was within Lin chaoxu’s expectations. He knew how much Chen Zhao valued the universe of Azeroth and that Chen Zhao wasn’t someone who would be greedy for short-term benefits.
However, Lin chaoxu was completely confused about League of Legends.
Lin chaoxu knew about it after the demo of League of Legends was released on the internet. However, after reading the relevant information and discussing it with the players, Lin chaoxu’s doubts grew.
The first question was, why did Chen Mo make a game like this?
According to the players in the experience store, Chen Mo placed a lot of importance on this game, and even made it the main part of the next development phase. However, in Lin chaoxu’s eyes, these types of PvP games were just for fun. With Chen Mo’s current abilities and funds, he could definitely make a bigger game.
Lin chaoxu’s desire to act as COG’s proxy was equivalent to a bet. This was a brand new game model and was relatively novel. It was good if it worked, but there was no big loss if it didn ‘t.
But Chen Mo seemed to be confident that this game would work?
The second question was why Chen Zhao didn’t become Azeroth.
If Chen Mo’s new game was directly competing with COG, then it was perfectly reasonable for him not to sell the rights to the characters in Warcraft. However, it was strange that he didn’t sell it or use it for himself.
Moreover, from the video, the art style and playstyle of League of Legends were different from any other games that Chen Mo had made before. From Lin chaoxu’s point of view, Chen Mo had completely given up on his previous advantages and was making a very risky attempt.
Lin chaoxu found it hard to put his mind at ease.
Chen Mo hadn’t done anything before, but releasing League of Legends all of a sudden meant that he was prepared to make a name for himself, and wanted to make use of the time difference to release the game as soon as possible.
Lin chaoxu was very clear on the principle of ‘speed is the key to success’.
There was a knock on the door.
Lin chaoxu organized his thoughts and said,”come in.”
A somewhat reserved man walked in and bowed slightly.””President Lin, you were looking for me?”
Lin chaoxu pointed to the seat beside him,””Have a seat.”
The man looked like he was in his early thirties, wearing sneakers, jeans, and a brown top. He looked no different from the ordinary employees of Emperor dynasty entertainment.
In reality, Jin jieguang was one of Emperor dynasty Entertainment’s mid-level managers, and he was in charge of matters related to COG’s operations.
Lin chaoxu’s evaluation of this person was “extremely diligent at work, but lacking in intelligence.” In terms of work att.i.tude, Jin jieguang was a model figure in Emperor dynasty entertainment. He was devoted to his work and had little private life.
Usually, when Lin chaoxu gave him an order, as long as he clearly explained all the things to take note of, he would be able to complete it better.
However, this person wasn’t suitable for work that required a high degree of autonomy, and his popularity within Emperor dynasty entertainment was average.
But this wasn’t important to Lin chaoxu. To him, people like Jin jieguang should be the cla.s.sic example of a good employee. They were honest, obedient, and hardworking. Their low IQ had become their strengths.
Lin chaoxu showed the screen of his laptop to Jin jieguang,””Have you seen the demo of League of Legends?”
“Chief Lin, I’ve been paying attention to this matter. I’ve seen it before,” said Jin jieguang hurriedly.
Lin chaoxu nodded. Jin jieguang was indeed reliable.
“Any thoughts?” Lin chaoxu asked.
Jin jieguang thought for a moment.”Mr. Lin, I think the information revealed in this video is still quite little. Moreover, watching a video and playing it yourself are still different. You can’t tell how good a game is just by watching a video.”
Lin chaoxu was very satisfied with this statement. He had the same thoughts as well.
“Boss Lin,” Jin jieguang volunteered,”I think it doesn’t matter if League of Legends is a good game or not. If Chen Mo values this game, then we should.”
“I want to try out League of Legends at Chen Mo’s Experience Store and create a detailed experience report for further a.n.a.lysis.”
Lin chaoxu nodded his head in satisfaction,”good, very good.” I feel like you’ve opened your mind? Not bad, maintain your current working state. ”
Jin jieguang nodded vigorously.”Okay, Mr. Lin. I’ll get ready. I’ll book the tickets now.”
……
……
Coming out of the airport, Jin jieguang’s biggest feeling was that the capital was really cold.
However, his heart was filled with pride.
Even though there were people who criticized him inside Emperor dynasty entertainment and in the gaming industry, Jin jieguang still felt pretty good about himself. After all, in his opinion, it was all thanks to his own hard work that he was able to get to where he was today.
This time, Jin jieguang was also very ambitious. He wanted to push the game “COG” to the top in China and add another glorious stroke to his resume.
As the biggest compet.i.tor of COG, League of Legends was a huge threat. Jin jieguang was very concerned about it, which was why he came to Chen Mo’s Experience Store to spy on the enemy.
Chen Mo’s Experience Store wasn’t hard to find. Jin jieguang took a taxi from the airport to Chen Mo’s Experience Store and found a nearby hotel to stay in.
After all, it would be too eye-catching to drag a suitcase to the experience store to play games.
Jin jieguang had also changed his clothes to make himself look more like an office worker who had nothing to do with the game industry.
After everything was ready, Jin jieguang went to Chen Mo’s Experience Store.
