Li Shang was completely immersed in the game after game, seeming to start from the beginning every time, until a crystal is destroyed.
But in reality, each game gave Li Shang a different experience. This game seemed to be poisonous. He wanted to continue if he won, and he wanted to continue if he failed. Just like that, in the strange cycle of reincarnation, he would never get tired of it, and he couldn't help himself.
There are thousands of players who feel the same way as Li Shang.
"I feel like this game is poisonous, and I can't help myself out of it!"
"It's so fun, I can't stop it at all. If it weren't for the anti-addiction system, I'm still sleeping and forgetting food!"
"This game seems to be addictive!"
"Why is there such a thing as anti-addiction? I want to play, I want to play!"
The next day, Zhengfeng Interactive announced the victory of "League of Legends". After 24 hours of precipitation, the total registered players of "League of Legends" worldwide successfully reached 800 million.
And on the first day, it generated $100 million in revenue through skins, heroes and other items.
This data must not be unbelievable. It directly reached 800 million users on the first day. Looking at the world, even when Infinite Space just went online that year, there was no such amazing result.
Know that this is just an e-sports game, and the audience is absolutely incomparable with the all-encompassing infinite time and space.
However, the current total number of players in Infinite Time and Space is only more than 3 billion, and "League of Legends" reached 800 million just after it was launched. In the future, the promotion will be fully rolled out, word of mouth will be fermented, and reputation will increase. Users will definitely continue to double. One billion users is definitely easy.
This makes many game companies really envy.
At present, the global online games are definitely not only infinite time and space, but those online games basically survive in the cracks, such as the online games of Huaxia Xianxia, relying on China and some markets in Asia, barely reaching 100 million users is already Very good.
No one would have imagined that "League of Legends" would have taken a new path, a sudden emergence, and directly captured 800 million players, even more so.
A pure e-sports platform, or a brand new gaming platform, has shown such amazing strength once it came out, which is really very unexpected.
"I just don't know how long this game can be popular. In terms of vitality, it must be incomparable with infinite time and space. This kind of gameplay for a long time will definitely make people feel boring!"
"Yes, and the audience base of this kind of game is there, how can it not be compared with infinite time and space, the upper limit of the total number of players is estimated to be one billion!"
A group of senior executives of Chuangli Technology are chatting about "League of Legends" in the boss's office.
Some of them have a sourness and jealousy in their words.
They regret it very much, why didn't they think of doing an independent MOBA game after seeing "Death Speed".
Otherwise, the first person to eat crabs is himself.
"But think about it, the vitality of this game shouldn't be too weak. This can be seen from "Death Speed". At present, the active players in the competitive mode of "Death Speed" are still very high.
And if they really build the competition system successfully, I'm afraid it will be a hot topic for a few years. "
"Yes, in fact, it is expected that "League of Legends" can achieve such results. The data myth created by the competitive mode of "Death Speed" is enough to explain everything. It is estimated that Zhengfeng Interactive Entertainment also passed "Death Speed". It is confirmed that this kind of MOBA online game will be popular, and they have also accumulated a large audience of players through "Death Speed", and they have also built a reputation. This will allow so many people to join in."
"Well, and "League of Legends" has a larger audience than "Death Speed" in terms of gameplay, and it is even more attractive, and many heroes in the game are themselves quite popular! To be honest, I played a few games, It's really fun, that's why he is so hot!" CEO Zhang Dali said.
"A new game with a turnover of 100 million US dollars on the first day is really a bit scary!"
"And this is just income created by selling heroes and skins!"
"At present, e-sports games will be a new outlet in the future, and we must seize this new opportunity!"
"Well, yes, but can we make a MOBA game that is better than or comparable to "League of Legends"?" Zhang Dali looked at everyone. As the boss, he naturally cares about whether his company can do something. What, seize the outlet.
"Continue to do MOBA games, it is estimated that the chance of getting up is very low!"
"Yup!"
"Hey, maybe we can try shooting games. With the development of e-sports, I think there should be a big market for pure shooting e-sports!" said a sharp-eyed man with a little white head. .
His words made Zhang Dali's eyes light up and his face was joyful: "This is a good idea. League of Legends will definitely lead to e-sports games and promote the development of the entire e-sports environment and market scale. We are doing pure shooting e-sports games. There is no conflict with the League of Legends. We can segment the market and capture shooting players, and we can also be unique."
"Well, and many players who like League of Legends are definitely our target customer group!" The young white-headed man said with a smile.
"Okay, Xiao Zhou, you have a great idea. This project will be handed over to you. The bonus and dividends of the project are absolutely indispensable for you. If you need any resources, please tell me that the company fully supports you!" Zhang Dali was overjoyed. He even felt that he could become another "League of Legends" by virtue of shooting e-sports.
Zhang Dali's words made all the senior executives cast envious glances at the man surnamed Zhou. They also felt that this idea was very good and had a very promising market.
Of course, what they don't know is that their company is not the only person who thinks about this.
EV studios, ballistic studios, electronic storm companies in Europe, R company in the United States, Galaxy Technology and other companies and studios that have made achievements in the shooting game field, almost all thought of trying to learn Zhengfeng Interactive Entertainment.
To build an FPS game platform and related leagues.
"This idea is great, we have a mature engine and ready-made resources, we can develop the game in the shortest time!"
"Yes, our user base and influence in the shooting game field will also be our booster!"
"Mr. Hills, I suggest that we do a pure FPS competitive game this time, remove those cumbersome plots and settings, just design a simple game background, such as anti-terrorism, and then let the players team up in a small map. ."
"This note sounds very good. You can follow this idea. We have to make the game platform as soon as possible, and launch the corresponding e-sports league system at the same time!" The team of the EV studio in the Netherlands happily discussed and developed the plan.
However, they didn't know that Gu Zheng, as a past person, thought of FPS games earlier than them.
As another type of e-sports with a huge audience, when Gu Zheng was developing "League of Legends" and preparing to create the world's e-sports ecology, he already used the classic shooting games "CS: GO" and "PUBG Mobile: Battle Escape". Kill" was included in the development list.
After this, there are games like Fortnite and Overwatch.
Of course, there is also the strategy card game Hearthstone.
At present, "CS: GO" has already been developed and is in the stage of internal testing.
The development of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds: Battle Royale is also nearing completion, and the online time of the two games is not expected to differ by more than one month.
...
The global publicity of "League of Legends" has been fully rolled out, and the popularity of the game continues to rise. More and more players have joined it, and it has become a phenomenon-level online game.
On the tenth day of the launch of "League of Legends", the total number of registered players worldwide exceeded one billion, and the total turnover reached an astonishing US$5 billion.
The total number of IPs accessed by the game community and event viewing channels reached 1.5 billion.
Among them, the same person may visit multiple devices, but there are also many users who have not registered to play the game, but are watching the daily live e-sports game.
In addition, player activity and average online time are also very high, and the interaction between game communities and event viewing channels is also very high.
However, the total number of major players in global games is so large, and it is impossible for everyone to play more than 24 hours a day.
Therefore, the higher the player's activeness in "League of Legends", the longer the average online time, which means that the game data of "Infinite Time" has dropped significantly.
Although those players will not completely stop playing Infinite Time and Space, they have to admit that "League of Legends" does divert a lot of infinite time and space players. It also takes away players' attention and time in this starting time, and even It's the money in their pockets.
At this point, the senior management of Infinite Space really couldn't sit still. Just after "League of Legends" released a 10-day cumulative data report, Infinite Space also held a board and senior meeting.
"I think we should talk to Gu Zheng! Maybe it's time to take some measures, we can't watch him take away our users!"
"The data has dropped very sharply these days, and our stocks have also fallen all the way down. This is not a good sign!"
"Are we going to give Zhengfeng Mutual Entertainment downright? We can't raise tigers. We seem to have raised a competitor now!"
"Outside it has begun to circulate that Zhengfeng Mutual Entertainment will exit the infinite time and space and stand on its own. This news has a very strong impact on our stock market!"
"This should be a rumor deliberately fabricated by someone with a heart. We have confirmed with Zhengfeng Mutual Entertainment that they will not withdraw from Infinite Time and Space, and the new copy will land on our Infinite Time and Space in three months!"
"After this news was released today, the stock market has begun to rebound!"
"Yes, I also think that Zhengfeng Mutual Entertainment has no reason to withdraw from the infinite time and space. Win-win cooperation is the real way to maximize benefits. He should know that withdrawal is harmful and unprofitable for both of us!"
"But I never understand why he doesn't want to be our partner?"
"He said that it was because he did not want to be too restricted. Perhaps this "League of Legends" is one reason. Becoming a partner, maybe there is no "League of Legends" today!"
"Well, this is understandable. They have more freedom to do their own platforms. They can make their own rules, including the krypton gold system and the competition system!"
"In fact, judging from the current situation, "League of Legends" is positioned as an e-sports game. Although it is a global online game platform, it has no competitive relationship with our infinite time and space!"
"Yes, although I have to admit that the performance of this game is very amazing, and his impact on us is unavoidable, but this impact will not continue to grow, and it will not really shake our position. I think It won't be long before the freshness passes, and players will return to our infinite time and space."
"Lucas is right. Players are just out of freshness. In the future, the activity and average online time of this game will not be so high. It is not difficult to see from the original data of "Death Speed". Although this game mode matches the competition system, he will have very tenacious vitality.
But after all, players will be aesthetically tired and will gradually lose interest. They will eventually return to our infinite time and space, because this is where we can find new fun and the real game world! "
"I also agree with Lucas's view that perhaps the future e-sports events of "League of Legends" will continue to be popular, but I don't think the popularity of the game will continue to rise, and our infinite time and space can always be because of a hot copy. Create the myth again.
After all, "League of Legends" cannot be compared with our infinite time and space. We have accumulated so many years and have countless excellent copies. Our heritage is that no game can be shaken, and our vitality is not a game. It's comparable, so I don't think we need to panic too much! "
"Well, we should stay calm at this time and maintain the demeanor and magnanimity that our industry leader should have. Zhengfeng Mutual Entertainment cannot be a threat to us. On the contrary, he is still our partner now.
We now need the copies developed by their company. As long as Zhengfeng Interactive Entertainment can continue to create explosive copies, we don't need to care about the current gains or losses. If we really give Zhengfeng Mutual Entertainment down power, it will force him to think that we are breaking up, which is not a good thing for us! "
"Yes, you can't touch him for a short time at least. Zhengfeng Mutual Entertainment's copy is currently too influential. Moving him is tantamount to self-harm! You should have seen that a rumor has already caused our stock market to plummet. Be honest, I think the money evaporating from our stock market will make us feel pain!"
...
Regarding the content of the board of directors of Infinite Space and the high-level meeting, Gu Zheng had actually expected it a long time ago, but Jean didn't care at all.
Regardless of whether Infinite Time and Space treats himself as an enemy, he is not afraid, he is a systematic person, and even a person who masters black technology.
It is only a matter of time to subvert this world, even if the dragon of infinite time and space, if he wants to, it is impossible to slaughter it.
It's just that he also knows that after weighing the pros and cons of infinite time and space, he will definitely not do anything to himself.
This point came from the false news that he wanted to quit infinite time and space, and the huge impact it produced was enough to prove everything.
The current infinite space-time definitely didn't dare to move him, and he didn't actually think of completely exiting the infinite space-time and breaking with it.
After all, he also understands the principle of win-win cooperation unless the other party touches his bottom line.
However, just as the news that "League of Legends" broke one billion global players once again caused a sensation, the official of Zhengfeng Interactive Entertainment once again launched a shock that shocked all colleagues and inspired the entire e-sports circle. news.
"Zhengfeng Interactive Entertainment's second e-sports game "Counter Strike" will be launched in ten days. The game is positioned as an FPS game. It will be included in the Zhengfeng Interactive Entertainment e-sports game matrix in the future, and a complete professional league system will be launched. , To become a brother brand of "League of Legends"!"
