Recently, a brand new online program Tavern Not Closed was sent to the hot search, the name is mainly derived from the pub war chess in "Hearthstone", and the closure is a satire of NetEase and Blizzard about to terminate the contract on January 24 after fourteen years of agency cooperation, in the following days may be closed, but the pub that belongs to our players, the emotions of contacting us will not close. The popularity of this show is also because of the revelation of a lot of Blizzard and NetEase renewal insider information and the spit on the current Blizzard game circle.
The Tavern Open Show has invited a large number of senior Blizzard game players, including many Blizzard top game anchors such as "Huang Xudong", "Master Wang", "No Zong" and "Red Rabbit", and they are also die-hard fans of Blizzard games. In the game, they have topped games such as "Hearthstone" and "Overwatch", have millions of fans in real life, and have close contact with the management of Blizzard Games.
In this agent, they revealed some of the news of NetEase in the contract renewal negotiations with Blizzard, and the previous six-month requirements were indeed true, and said that NetEase asked to respect players, and increased the renewal for one year before being rejected by Blizzard, which means that the main reason why national server players could not play the game on January 24 was still Blizzard's refusal and toughness.
At the same time, the show always revealed that the league prize money of the "StarCraft" series of games held in China is funded by NetEase, and Blizzard is not even willing to pay this part of the money, you must know that this is the "e-sports" that he has been developing in recent years, and the money contribution has become a matter for NetEase.
Red Rabbit also broke the news of the interesting facts in the Blizzard OWL League, and in the domestic Blizzard e-sports circle, he repeatedly insisted on trying to control, and finally made a mess. It can be said that Blizzard's control of its own games is almost paranoid, as can be seen from the recent stagnation of Hearthstone, Warcraft and other games in the national server, even some events that can help promote the game are banned by it.
At the end of the show, Huang Xudong, who was "poisoned milk", choked up several times, in addition to complaining about several special copywriting from recent Blizzard, he also felt sad for his e-sports stories for more than ten years, and finally sent "blessings" to Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick! Let him try the mysterious power from the East.
From all the mouths, we can know that maybe the players are still those players, but Blizzard is not the Blizzard it once was, the top company that strives to make high-quality games and the fall to the altar, and now the game is just a tool for capitalists to accumulate money, which is Blizzard's sadness and the misfortune of players.
