Chapter 39 The platforms of the three major hosts
Half an hour later, the subordinate who was sent to inquire about the source of sales returned. His face was filled with fear and he murmured in disbelief:
"Mr. Liang, we checked and found that Auri's new sales are all from overseas markets, and now the sales volume is 300,000..."
But what surprised his subordinates was that Liang Renfeng was not appropriately surprised by the news. He just looked at the computer in front of him blankly, which contained several news items announced half an hour ago:
[Nintendo Game Yanguo]

[Steam Platform International]
["Ori and the Dark Forest", developed under the leadership of Chuxin Game Studio, will be officially launched at 9:00 pm on December 1, 2030, Beacon Time! ]
The three major host platforms are launched simultaneously! Ori officially launches international server!
Overseas sales exploded instantly!
Liang Renfeng's vision went dark, his feet softened and he instantly fell onto the sofa chair behind him.
In a daze, he seemed to see Luo Bai's hateful face in front of him, smiling sarcastically at him:
"In what era are you still playing in the domestic market? Goodbye."
Ma Bin must admit that he made a mistake.
Tianxing Company's smooth success in the domestic market has given him a kind of thinking inertia - domestic games are only suitable for playing in the domestic market.
Of course, this does not mean that domestically produced games will not be able to sell well overseas. However, in the past, the domestic games that sold well overseas only had a sales limit of several hundred thousand.
Ori's terrifying growth rate of 200,000 per hour and 300,000 per hour and a half is unique!
Nowadays, Ouji is almost unstoppable. A domestic game with a bad reputation in the country and no one cares about it and a domestic game with millions of sales overseas are completely different concepts!
Luo Bai, you did a great job!
I really didn't expect you to hook up with the game departments of the three giants.
"Liang Renfeng, inform the publicity and distribution department to temporarily stop the promotion of 'Ori Plagiarism' and focus all the main resources on the sales of "Legend of Demon World 2". Within three days, I want to see the release of "Legend of Demon World 2" Sales exceeded one million!”
The experienced Ma Bin no longer thinks about killing Ori. At this point, it's impossible.
He chose to take a step back and changed the original strategic goal of nailing Ori's plagiarism to the strategic goal of cutting out the similarity in design between "Makai Legend 2" and Ori, and incidentally discrediting Ori's plagiarism.
As long as "Legend of Demon World 2" is not plagiarized by Stone Hammer, Tianxing's basic base will remain stable.
Those players who have already bought "Makai Legend 2" will become the dam of "Makai Legend 2" in the face of no real stone hammer.
This is human nature.
And as long as the sales of "Tales of Demon World 2" can exceed one million tonight, Tianxing will be able to ride on this trend and set off another wave of popularity!
By then, the negative impact of being cut off from the mobile game market will be greatly eliminated, and maybe a name like "The Light of Domestic Single-player Games" can be marketed and worn on the head.
Ma Bin rolled his eyes slightly, already having plans for the future.
……
"Brother Luo! Oh my god! How the hell did you get in touch with the heads of the game departments of the three console giants?"
Pu Xingyu was so excited that he ran around the whole office as if he had ADHD,
"Really, I thought we were all doomed and were about to be defeated by that guy who deceives the world and steals his reputation. To be honest, when I saw those three Weibo posts, it was like a bucket of cold water poured down from my head. I felt so happy. The Tianling Gai is about to fly!”
"Cold water in December, right? What about the ice bucket challenge?"
Luo Bai choked, then raised the corner of his mouth and explained,
“The heads of the three major consoles met at the Independent Games Festival at that time, but the intention to cooperate was confirmed shortly before Ori was released.
You guys think that on November 30th, when Ori will be released in more than ten hours, why would I go out drinking? After I came back drunk, I asked you to call me at midnight?
Please, socializing is very tiring..."
Mo Yun, who had just received the news, was also shocked and speechless.
I originally thought that after receiving the hint from Brother Tang, the secret hand I left in the game would become the king of Ori's comeback.
He was also moved by Brother Tang's inability to control himself, by his ability to uphold the moral justice in his heart, and by his own actions such as running out to resist Tianxing.
But looking at it now, it seems that I am being sentimental.
It turns out that without him, their original intention would not have failed. They have taken a step that all domestic stand-alone game development companies have failed to take in the past - leaving their own name in the world.
There was a trace of embarrassment on Mo Yun's face, and he suddenly felt like an outsider.
A young man like Mo Yun really doesn't have much power, all his emotions are written on his face.
Luo Bai seemed to have noticed something and patted this guy on the shoulder:
"As long as you feel that you have a clear conscience, to be honest, in the early morning when "Legend of Demon World 2" was just released, the four of us in the studio stayed up late to play.
At that time, I told Xingyu and the others that "Pandemonium 2" was not plagiarism. You were just learning from it, and you were considered a good student of Ori.
You guys are doing a great job, and I admire you and Mr. Tang very much.
The reason why I pulled out Legend of the Demon Realm when it was released was just for sales. It had nothing to do with the game, it was just business.
I'm very pleased that you have presented a good game to the players. ”
Even though Luo Bai directly bombarded Tianxing for publicity, which may affect the sales and reputation of "Demon World 2", he was still willing to uphold the passion in his heart and admit that he was a student of Ori.
This is actually quite rare.
After all, it was the hard work of the Demon World Legend production team.
"Thank you Mr. Luo..."
Mo Yun sincerely felt the strong personality charm of Luo Bai. He is a truly excellent game producer.
"Mr. Luo, then... when do you plan to restore Ori's reputation?"
"Soon."
Luo Bai blinked and looked at the distant sky,
"Waiting for Ori's reputation overseas to ferment."
