The famous Warcraft uncle Dang Lao Dao released his third Blizzard NetEase termination incident revealed, this time the long article interpreted the situation of the takeover manufacturer, from the interpretation of the old knife 99, the official announcement of the official takeover of the manufacturer is getting closer and closer.
Lao Dao 99 mainly expounds the following 5 views, and the little detective will explain them to you one by one.
1. Blizzard did not lower conditions and negotiate with NetEase, and NetEase laid off most of its employees, and there is no room for turnaround.
Xiaotan does not agree with this view, NetEase did lay off employees, but this does not affect him and Blizzard to continue to negotiate, as long as the price is right, everything is good, and recalling departing employees is not as difficult as everyone thinks.
2. The negotiations between Blizzard and the new domestic agent have progressed rapidly, and the current alternative manufacturers have changed from 4 to 2, entering the critical 2-choice 1 stage.
Unfortunately, the old knife uncle did not disclose who these two manufacturers are, but only hinted that the new operator must meet 4 conditions: have money, have popular mobile game development cases, can accept Blizzard's mobile game share, and cannot be strong.
Xiaotan analyzed that among the 4 companies of Ali, Perfect, Byte and Tencent, Perfect is not rich enough to be eliminated directly, then only Tencent, Byte and Ali are left.
Many netizens have questions, isn't Ali's main business e-commerce? How to do mobile games.
In fact, Ali not only does mobile games, but also does a good job, its game Three Kingdoms Strategy Edition is the world's 7th highest-grossing mobile game, selling 700 million US dollars a year.
Don't think that strategy SLG mobile games are cheating money Krypton gold has no technical content, in fact, there are too many competitors in this type of game, and what can kill the siege is the hard skill, Ali mobile games may not be worse than NetEase. Moreover, the Three Kingdoms Strategy Edition is also honorably licensed to Ali to develop, and the mobile game development of Blizzard games can also refer to this model.
In summary, the detective believes that Ali may have entered the 2-for-1 stage.
3. Lao Dao believes that the time for the national service to be closed is uncertain, and 2 months is also possible.
Lao Dao believes that as long as the takeover manufacturer is determined, it can be operated for free, and it is possible to start serving in 2 months at the earliest. However, Xiaotan is not so optimistic, Xiaotan believes that the termination of this contract is too hasty, the preparation time for the takeover manufacturer is too short, the national service should be closed for about half a year, of course, it is better to only close the service for 2 months.
4. Old knife believes that the version number is not a problem.
Xiaotan has also elaborated on this problem many times before, first of all, Blizzard family barrel itself has a version number, it is good to change the operating entity, it is not difficult to transfer the version number, and now the state has released the approval of imported games, 10,000 steps back NetEase does not give the version number, and it is not difficult for new manufacturers to register themselves.
5. Lao Dao believes that Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard has little impact on the new agent of the national service, because Microsoft cannot affect the senior management of Activision before the completion of the acquisition.
Xiao Tan's view is exactly the opposite of the old knife. Let me give you an example, if we spend 300,000 yuan to pre-order a car, and a headlight is broken before delivery, as consumers, do we have to find a manufacturer to give an explanation? In the same way, Microsoft spent more than $60 billion to buy a game company, Activision Blizzard, and the thing depreciated by at least 3% before it arrived, is there also a saying? Therefore, the detective believes that Microsoft will inevitably intervene, but the degree of involvement is different, in order to avoid affecting the acquisition, Microsoft-related operations must be placed under the table.
In the end, Xiaotan still hopes that this matter can be solved satisfactorily, Blizzard National Service currently has 3 million stable players, once Blizzard game fans more than 10 million, it takes 20 years to build such a successful game community, but it only takes a moment to destroy it.
