v2 Chapter 346: Recent fireflies

Although the VB game console encounters Waterloo, Nintendo is not so easy to break down. Many of their "Super Mario", "The Legend of Zelda" and other games are very classic. Even Henry has to admit that Nintendo has a strong background. !

However, the departure of Yokoi Junpei this time has indeed caused great losses to Nintendo. The acquisition of talents like Yokoi Junping at Atari also made Henry much more assured of Atari. In addition, Atari spent 350 million US dollars to acquire Square, which also greatly enhanced Atari's strength. Square's "Dragon Quest" and "Final Fantasy" series are both very classic games!

Henry discovered in vain that he actually bought the most controversial "king of cold rice" in Japan, Capcom and Square...Well, well, continue to cook cold rice, unlimited sequels, as long as you can make money.

If Atari has already begun to dominate the TV game industry, then Firefly Game Company is already invincible in the PC industry! !

Look at what games are released by the Firefly Game Company.

The first is Blizzard. They launched two games "Warcraft II" and "Diablo" this time. The two games have sold more than 10 million online registration codes and sold more than 1 million offline game CDs, which has become very popular nowadays. game.

Then came Westwood Westwood Company. This company launched a global shocking game-"Red Alert". Once it was released, in just one week, the sales of registration codes exceeded 4 million, making it the hottest real-time strategy game at present. Battle for Hegemony 2 is still on fire!

Then came id software company, they launched "Thor's Hammer", becoming the most popular game among PC shooting games!

In addition to launching several games, Firefly Games has also carried out an acquisition frenzy!

On April 20, 1995, Firefly Game Company acquired BioWare, which in the future produced very classic games "Baldur's Gate" and "Neverwinter Nights"...

On May 4 of the same year, Firefly Games acquired Wizards of the Coast. Wizards of the Coast is amazing, 1993. The company created the first trading card game-Magic: The Gathering. This game quickly became popular in the United States and even the world, becoming the most famous card game, even published in 10 languages, and it was officially listed as a sports item. Even Henry, who is already very calm and mature, has played. Magic is so popular that Wizards of the Coast took advantage of the opportunity to acquire its biggest competitor-TSR, the company that once developed the "Dungeon and Dragon" tabletop role-playing game!

"Dungeon and Dragon" has a great influence on tabletop role-playing games (TRPG), as well as role-playing games. Many subsequent games of the same type were affected by its rules, especially BioWare, where "Baldur's Gate" and "Neverwinter Nights" were adapted from games. Buy Wizards of the Coast. It is equivalent to owning the copyright of Dungeons and Dragons, and BioWare does not need to pay royalties.

Wizards of the Coast is the most well-known in the card field, and the ability to make card games is also the world's first. Henry also plans to launch "Three Kingdoms", "Yugong", "Pokemon", "Heartstone" and other super fun card games in the future! ! !

In June of the same year, the Firefly Game Company then acquired Taiwan's Daewoo Information and officially entered the Taiwanese game market. Daewoo Information has three major studios: DOMO group, fanatic group, and angel group. Henry was most impressed by the fanatic group, because "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was produced by the fanatic group. On July 15, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was officially launched. The poems and music in the game are very classic, which greatly improves the taste of the game. It didn’t take long before it swept the entire Taiwan and topped the Taiwanese game rankings.

In addition to the more famous "Legend of Sword and Fairy", Daewoo Information also has "Monopoly" and "Xuanyuan Sword", both of which are quite popular among Chinese!

Firefly Game Company continues to have good games and launched a series of acquisitions, almost leaving other game companies far behind. Ranked by players on the top ten most popular PC games in the world, the Firefly family alone has 8 places: "Thor's Hammer", "Diablo", "Red Alert", "Warcraft 2", "FIFA1994" ", "FIFA Football Manager", "Grand Theft Auto", "Need for Speed"!

All PC game companies in the world are eclipsed by Firefly Games! ! !

The US "Video Game Monthly" stated: "In the PC gaming world, the Firefly Game Company opened the age of empire!!!"

"The New York Times" stated: "Firefly Game Company is rich in wealth and has been making crazy acquisitions. The gap with other game companies will be wider and wider!"

The host of the ABC TV Game Channel said: "It is unbelievable. The games produced by Firefly Game Company are so fun. What is hidden behind this? According to our investigation, dozens of experts, professors and scholars in the United States intend to study Firefly Game Company. The secret behind the success. But nothing..."

Netizens left a message:

"In a word, Firefly is awesome, don't explain!"

"Firefly is really rich, and it buys other game companies every three to five!"

"..."

Competitor company: "A monster that has never appeared in the gaming industry for a hundred years!!!"

"Seeing the fireflies, I feel hopeless and powerless!"

"Before I thought fireflies were shiny and very beautiful. But now. I hate it!!!"

"..."

There is a saying that it is mediocre not to invite others to envy! Although there are countless game companies verbally criticizing Firefly, many companies have to rely on Firefly game companies. Because, Firefly Game Company has two PC game platforms-Firefly Game Platform and Steam platform.

Many companies have made a lot of money on these two platforms!

However, people are not enough to swallow the elephant. Seeing that the Firefly Game Company makes N times more money than yourself, it is naturally unbalanced. Many companies have set up their own portals and built their own game platforms, but basically, they all end up in bankruptcy! After experiencing the failure, they realized that not everyone can do the game platform...

So ~lightnovelpub.net~ had to return to the platform of the Firefly Game Company.

The firefly game platform and the steam platform are getting bigger and bigger, basically in a monopoly position, with daily income exceeding 50 million U.S. dollars, and the Firefly company can get 10 million U.S. dollars for ordinary achievements.

Currently, Blizzard is developing "StarCraft" and "Diablo 2", ID software company is fully developing "CS Counter-Strike", Westwood Westwood is developing "Command and Conquer", and other companies that have just been acquired are also developing Their respective fame games! Next year, it will be the year of the firefly game again!

In order to make money in the game, Henry has already carried out the cheats to the end. He wants to buy all the game companies that will make money in the future. If it is really impossible to buy, then develop it yourself! ! !

Henry needs a lot of funds to develop technology, games and entertainment can bring him huge income!

"I am making money to change the world, Amen..." Henry stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office and looked at the golden sunset, smiling slightly.
