"Mr. Allen, I don't know what plug-ins you understand. But in China, plug-ins are harmful but not beneficial. A series of games were destroyed by plug-ins. The most classic was that Huanyu technology used plug-ins to directly destroy a popular online game."
"Is there such a thing?"
"Yes, when Huanyu technology was not so powerful, their opponent was penguin."
"Which company is penguin?"
"The company did instant messaging at that time, but Huanyu technology not only robbed penguin's instant messaging, but also beat them out of the online game."
"Wait a minute. I'll go to the company now."
Seeing that Chen Hui is so firm, Allen also knows that the matter is urgent.
Half an hour later, Allen returned to the company.
Chen Hui was painstaking.
Although Allen still has some reluctant titles, Chen Hui has operated online games for many years. At the same time, he gave a series of examples, thought about it and said, "it's too much to seal 50000 accounts at one time. Let's try to seal 5000 accounts first."
"It's OK to seal 5000 first, but the effect is not particularly obvious."
"But closing 50000 accounts at one time has put a great pressure on our popularity. You know, we spent more than 100 million yuan on these 300000 people. Closing 50000 accounts at one time is equivalent to more than 20 million more."
"This..."
Chen Hui is only the vice president, Alan is the president.
Under Allen's pressure, Chen Hui only listened to Allen and closed 5000 accounts for 24 hours.
In fact, Chen Hui thinks that if we really want to do it thoroughly, it is not sealed for 24 hours at all.
Like Huanyu technology, if a user is detected to use a plug-in, it will directly give you a permanent shutdown.
Although Chen Hui wants to do so, he also has no determination.
In fact, once the plug-in is detected, it will be directly and permanently closed, and only Huanyu technology dares to do so.
Some other companies don't have the courage.
Of course, it's not that they don't want to.
Other game companies dream of directly sealing him up forever.
But in addition to Huanyu technology, some other game companies soon suffered a boycott from countless players.
This is related to the game ecology.
Huanyu technology has been advocating good game behavior since the beginning of making online games.
Including not using plug-ins, not swearing, active games... And so on.
Once you use the plug-in, or even scold people. If you don't play the game well and don't use Huanyu technology to operate by yourself, a lot of players will scold you to death.
Such ecology can't be done in a day or two.
Since you haven't done it, if you give a permanent title, there will be endless consequences.
There's no way. Alan doesn't agree. Chen Hui can only follow Alan's instructions.
Moreover, at Allen's command, none of the 5000 accounts closed this time have been recharged.
in other words.
As long as it is recharged, it will not be closed for the time being.
This operation is also normal.
The customer is God.
Only players who really charge money are real players.
To seal the account, it is also those players who do not charge money.
How can Blizzard make money if even those players who have charged money are closed?
In Allen's eyes, are free players real gamers?
You know.
Before that, players spent money on any game launched by blizzard.
Even the previous world of Warcraft was charged by point card
If it weren't for opening up the Chinese market, Allen and Mike almost defined storm hero as a paid game.
……
It has to be said that Blizzard made a quick decision and shut down 5000 accounts for the first time, which is more or less useful for cracking down on plug-ins.
Many players are afraid of blocking their accounts and dare not use plug-ins.
Just.
Because it leaves a way for recharge players, the plug-in continues to spread.
This also led to Blizzard directly giving players a hint.
As long as you charge the money, you can use the plug-in.
Such a hint undoubtedly makes those players who have charged money have a better game experience.
For a while, many players who didn't want to recharge also started recharging for the first time because they wanted to use plug-ins.
"China is really full of gold."
"These fools are still charging money for the skin with no attributes at all."
"It seems that we have to push more skin out in the future."
Seeing more and more recharge players, Allen was in a good mood.
But Chen Hui on one side is constantly frowning.
Although the number of people recharging has increased rapidly, it is understood from the data he has obtained that the number of people using plug-ins is also increasing.
Especially those who recharge.
It can be said that more than 90% of recharge players have started to use the plug-in.
"Mr. Allen, I think we should step up the crackdown on plug-ins."
Chen Hui suggested to Allen again.
"Yes, Chen Hui, haven't I always supported you in cracking down on plug-ins?"
Alan said with a smile.
"Mr. Allen, I mean, we should treat all players who use plug-ins equally with a title warning."
"That won't work."
Allen shook his head directly: "Chen Hui, don't you know that these are our food and clothing parents."
"But they have been using plug-ins, which will sooner or later pose a threat to our game."
"But I didn't see it."
"Mr. Allen, once these plug-ins develop a series of cheating functions, our game will be over."
yes.
It's these, not this one.
From the beginning of the small auxiliary program, now storm hero has dozens of plug-ins.
As for how many plug-ins are made by Huanyu technology, Chen Hui doesn't know.
However, Chen Hui, who has operated the game for many years, knows that the plug-in is the cancer of the game.
If it is not eradicated, it will become a time bomb sooner or later.
But Alan smiled and said: "Chen Hui, you should know that our storm hero is a multiplayer strategic competitive game. He needs not only certain operations, certain tactics, but also certain strategies. He can play the game well not by playing well by a single hero. He needs the cooperation of the whole team of players. Of course, this is also the point for many players to distinguish us from Lu ah Lu. Even if it is true in the future I'm sure they won't use such cheating plug-ins much. Chen Hui, don't you believe it? Tell you the data, Blizzard has developed a number of auxiliary applets, and even a series of cheating auxiliary applets, but players like those that don't destroy the balance of the game. "
"Mr. Allen, what you have done before has always been stand-alone games. Stand-alone players are different from online players."
"But we have investigated before that more than 90% of players have changed from stand-alone games to online game players. In fact, they are the same group."
"Mr. Allen, you can study how other companies deal with plug-ins. The most stringent is Huanyu technology. As long as they detect that any player uses plug-ins, Huanyu technology will be permanently banned no matter how much money he recharges."
"I know that."
Alan nodded: "But as I said just now, our storm hero is a multi player strategic competition, emphasizing strategy rather than individuals. But other online games, including Lu ah Lu, although he also has certain strategies, in fact, he also emphasizes the personal ability of heroes. They emphasize development, one choice two, one choice three, or even one choice four... If any When the plug-in appears, it will strengthen the cheating of personal heroes, so they should strictly deal with the plug-in. But we are different... "
It's not Alan's stubborn mind.
It's not that Alan doesn't know how to change.
In fact, this is related to the positioning of storm heroes.
Blizzard doesn't just want to imitate and play a similar game.
They are storm heroes, that is to subvert heroes.
As for the reason.
It's also very simple.
Their Warcraft was the first to put forward the concept of hero, and also the first to popularize heroes in the world.
They have made heroes very successful.
The whole world knows what a hero is because of their blizzard.
Why should they continue the heroic route, or even imitate the route of Lu ah Lu.
Blizzard has his own pride.
It is impossible for him to put down his face and go naked with the game company that only used a map in their Warcraft to survive.
Even if they want to make money, they won't lower their heads.
