Chapter 410
Even though he hadn't officially entered the job yet, Chu He described it verbally, but icefrog was obviously able to imagine the upcoming happiness.

As a game maker, the greatest joy is that you don't have to worry about money.

Regarding the recruitment of icefrog, it was not as difficult as imagined. Later, Chuhe chatted with the other party for a long time, and Chuhe found that the other party was more of a half-game producer.

He has his own unique understanding of the game, but he doesn't know much about other aspects. In other words, if he leaves DOTA, he probably won't be able to make any achievements, because from the current point of view, all his talents have been devoted to perfection. DOTA game above.

Of course, one thing icefrog said is very clear, including him, the whole team wants to commercialize the game, so that they can profit from this game, rather than just being a part-time worker.

Of course, Chuhe has no objection to this. This is the norm in the game circle, except for some more demanding game manufacturers, such as a turn-based game made by a certain domestic company that went out from Wangyi independently and imitated it.

Even though the market capitalization has already entered the top ten of China's game manufacturers, those backbones who created miracles at the beginning only received dead wages, not to mention dividends, and even bonuses were pitifully small.

And then there was nothing to say. The core staff left to set up new projects, some failed and some succeeded.

And that game manufacturer is still alive and well, because this is the norm in the domestic game circle, as long as you have a successful IP, a classic IP, you can always eat this youthful and nostalgic meal, you don’t have to Keep selling your feelings.

For example, Beisoft, where Yao Daxian is currently still, recently launched the so-called crowdfunding around the Swordsman Legend with a million goals, but the crowdfunding failed and did not reach the quota.

Then the official shamelessly issued an announcement, saying that they had misestimated the price and would lower the crowdfunding price later.

Take it easy, don't mess around with this rubbish.

Consumption again and again is really enough.

For example, neon manufacturers like SE, Capcom, and Anrong Tuotoumo, who like to fry cold rice, will add a little egg and a little lard to you even if it is fried rice.

Even fried cold rice with a little conscience is fried into cold seafood rice for you. Not only does it not taste bad, but it is also very fragrant.

But for some domestic manufacturers, fried cold rice for you, not to mention seafood cold rice, moldy cold rice is almost the same.

In the second week, an announcement was made on Tianhe Network's official website.

It is officially announced that the original team of DOTA will join Tianhe Network and officially develop DOTA2.
As soon as this news was sent out, it immediately set off a lot of storms all over the world.

If an ordinary company announces that the original DOTA team will join in the creation of DOTA2, it will at most attract some players who pay attention to DOTA, or there are manufacturers in the game industry who are entering this type of game.

But it was Tianhe Network that released the news, which developed the Tianhe Network of League of Legends.

Now that the competitions in the six major regions around the world are being organized, it seems that there will be such a big event as the Global Invitational Tournament in the future, including the promotion investment of the entire game has already exceeded 2 million. At this time, it is announced that DOTA[-] will be launched?Isn't this grabbing territory with yourself?
This is the first impression in most people's minds, but soon some people realized why Tianhe Network wants to do DOTA.

This is to eat up all the meat, and only leave some soup in this market for others.

Of course, in addition to game manufacturers and ordinary players, some game clubs and professional players are quite painful.

If it is an ordinary game manufacturer who releases this news, then there is nothing wrong with it.

After all, the momentum of the League of Legends seems to be in full swing, even if there is a sequel to DOTA, it is estimated that there will be no storms.

But this is a game developed by Tianhe Network itself. Does it need to be said of its quality?
Moreover, it is impossible for Tianhe Network to make that kind of development game and then ignore it, or the operation and game content are extremely hot.

In this way, they will be very embarrassed. At present, there are a large number of professional players in the League of Legends, all of whom have switched careers from DOTA. .

Playing League of Legends is because of the prospect of this game, but now that Tianhe Network is doing DOTA again, the question is whether to go back to playing DOTA or continue to play League of Legends?
Some professional players who were originally first-line professional players in DOTA, but now they have switched to League of Legends and have also shown impressive strength began to feel entangled in their hearts.

The rest of the people are not so entangled. Originally, they were in the second and third tiers in DOTA. Even if there is DOTA2, they are probably still in the second and third tiers. They might as well fight in the pure new game League of Legends.

There is really no way to play professionally, taking advantage of the fact that there are not many masters nowadays, and being able to lead others with the talent of professional players, and then open a live broadcast to make money, wouldn't it be a pleasure.

And some players who originally served as support in DOTA and were the brains of the team decided to go back to play DOTA.

Because they have clearly noticed that compared to DOTA's tactics, League of Legends is too manipulative.

In DOTA, even if you die three or four times online, sometimes as a tactic, you need to contain the opponent, there is no big problem and it can even be regarded as an advantage.

The League of Legends is different, let alone die three or four times. If you die once or twice, your line will probably be blown up, and then you will be robbed of wild resources by the opponent, push forward, and then be eaten away step by step.

Compared with League of Legends, DOTA is more like rhythm control, whoever falls into the rhythm can win the game.

Advance the rhythm, go to your high ground to solve the battle in the first 10 minutes; the later rhythm, change towers with you in the middle period, lead the line, and hold you to force the later stage.

But League of Legends is no good. With the existence of Dragon BUFF, as long as one side gains the advantage, the Dragon Vision will force you to fight, and you have to fight if you don’t fight.

Losing a wave of GG, winning depends on the situation, either on the road to comeback, or lingering.

It can be said that these are two completely different games, and you have no way to say which game is better, because the game concepts and goals of both sides are different.

But it can be said that these two types of games have a lot of audiences.

But at the top of Blizzard, McKay, who is in charge of the WOW battlefield project, is very unhappy now.

It turned out that when Tianhe Network approached them and wanted to acquire the copyright of DOTA, they thought that although there were internal development plans for this, they were more focused on World of Warcraft and a sci-fi online game called Titan, so they simply If you can make a little more money, just make a little money.

As a result, the high price directly scared people away, but they scared them away. The key is that people clearly expressed their meaning. If you don’t sell the copyright of DOTA, what can you do if I use DOTA2?
