Chapter 576

April 12, 1994 is another day to remember in the game circle, because on this day, Warcraft: humans and orcs went on sale.

However, the actual situation on this day was a little chilly, because the whole game launch ceremony was very simple. Blizzard rented a conference room in a nearby hotel, invited some game media, held some game trial activities, and then announced the official launch of world of demons and beasts: humans and orcs, and landed in cultural and entertainment markets and stores all over the United States.

Boss Jia only participated in the whole process and didn't do too much, because boss Jia clearly knew that even if he didn't do anything, Warcraft: humans and orcs would also achieve sales results of 1.2 million sets, which laid a good foundation for Warcraft series.

Because the quality of the game itself is excellent, and it is not released in a hurry that year, but it was repeatedly polished for three months after getting sufficient funds.

So boss Jia doesn't need to do anything. Just wait for Warcraft to slowly occupy the market. Anyway, boss Jia is quite Buddhist.

Moreover, boss Jia will not stay in the United States for too long this time. At most, boss Jia will return home on April 20. Because the wedding of boss Jia and Zhu Qiushui will be held on May 20.

Well, I seem to have forgotten to say that it was decided in February, because Zhu Qiushui was sure to be pregnant in February.

Boss Jia can't let Zhu Qiushui get married after the baby is born or with a big stomach, so the wedding time is set for May 20.

The moral is good, and I can't see the days when my stomach fluctuates.

So boss Jia is busy. He hasn't even taken wedding photos. There are a lot of wedding things waiting for him to deal with. If he doesn't go back, Zhu Qiushui will be angry.

Unfortunately, although boss Jia's wish is sincere and beautiful, there are always some people who don't want our boss Jia to be a good man.

We have to start with EA.

As we all know, EA is a well-known game enterprise in the United States, and its resume is much earlier than blizzard. It has been established since 1982. Now it is the best PC game enterprise in the United States.

However, this EA has an advantage, that is, he likes to be vigilant in times of peace. In addition to his own games, he also stares at other game companies all day. Any game company produces new works and buys one back for play at the first time.

See if other companies have produced any good games. If the games are really good, can this game company buy them back? If you can't buy it back, can you take out the things inside and use them for reference.

Anyway, as long as the content is different, the playing method is not plagiarism. And the one I changed is more fun than your original one. Do you believe it?

Well, is this routine very familiar?

Therefore, the crows in the world are generally black. Some things were made by foreigners first, which has little to do with our people. No one is more expensive than anyone.

Fire, anti-theft and anti art electricity are basically the consensus of American game manufacturers.

To get back to business, after the release of Warcraft, EA naturally gave full play to its fine tradition and bought Warcraft back at the first time. After playing for two days, EA's professional players and planners couldn't help exclaiming that NIMA was a masterpiece!

EA those who are specially used to identify game planners and professional players, who have tens of thousands of game hours. They have played more games than rice. Naturally, they can distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of the game at a glance.

First of all, Warcraft is actually a new real-time strategy game. For this type of game, EA has already started research. Then they think that real-time strategy games are actually very chicken ribs.

The game time is long, and the game process is relatively boring and boring. Moreover, the main fun of the game can only be experienced by two people fighting. However, the problem is that in the current network environment, unless there are two computers at home and a LAN can be set up, there can be no two people fighting at all.

Therefore, real-time strategy games have not been favored by EA. Although EA is actually making a strategy documentary game, they are just trying to seize the highland. What if real-time strategy games can catch fire?

Unfortunately, there is no need to wait for the future experimental results. After these professional game evaluators played Warcraft, they were completely conquered by this game.

Excellent picture quality, perfect plot, unique hero system, and the most important thing is the breakthrough innovation of war fog. These are things that Yidian has never heard of and seen before. It will certainly catch fire!

Therefore, the staff of Yidian immediately wrote a report and sent it to all the advantages listed just now. However, the report itself misses another advantage that really makes Warcraft rise.

However, it doesn't matter. The advantages of this report are enough to attract the attention of EA executives. These executives are not stupid. After playing for a few hours, they also believe that this is a masterpiece. Therefore, EA first used the old means to send a purchase letter to Blizzard games in an attempt to directly purchase Blizzard games.

Boss Jia was shocked when he saw the acquisition letter, and then exclaimed that EA was still EA. Finally, he refused mercilessly, and said very directly that Blizzard was a subsidiary of Daqian group and was not short of money.

EA looked at it and found that it was a Pokemon company. It immediately understood that it could not buy Blizzard from others.

But EA can't have another plan. First, they immediately increase investment and talents to the team responsible for developing timing strategy games in the company. More importantly, they plug in all the advantages they find from Warcraft and let the team staff copy them.

On the other hand, EA wants to lick and block Warcraft. It can't let the other party sell so easily.

At this time, EA and Hasbro are in a strategic alliance. EA authorizes some of its game IPS to Hasbro's production periphery. At the same time, EA's boss and media are good friends. He clearly knows what kind of hostility media has towards Daqian.

So EA decided to play a trick. The boss of EA found Medea and told him that another game Warcraft is on sale.

And the quality of this game is very excellent. It is sure to fire. It is not even much worse than Pokemon. If you don't stop it, Warcraft will be the next Pokemon. At that time, Daqian Yizhi will hold two super IPS, and Hasbro won't work!

Media was not stupid. She heard it on the spot that the other party intended to use herself, but the use was for use. As long as she could hit her opponent, what harm would it do.

Anyway, now Warcraft is just a little transparent. It's very easy and simple to deal with. Just a paper official document.

As a result, Hasbro sent a letter to all its channel providers, which simply requested that all shopping malls prohibit the sale of Warcraft, otherwise Hasbro and Warcraft.

Although the dealer is angry with Hasbro's behavior, Hasbro really smells good. Warcraft is just a computer game that has just been on sale for a few days and has never heard of its name. It's no big deal not to sell it.

So, when boss Jia was ready to return home, he received the news that Warcraft was off the shelf in quanmi, and boss Jia's face turned black.
