Chapter 88: Thunder Poker
Lin Zhaoxu nodded: "Well, what do you think of that "Thunder Poker"?" ”
Wu Zhao said: "This "Thunder Poker" should be a complete self-created gameplay. It's not enough to say how much it has to be after just ten minutes of play, but in my current feelings, I'm cautious about it. ”
"Its gameplay is somewhat similar to fried golden flowers and stud, but these two kinds of poker are not popular, and their influence in China is far less than that of fighting landlords."
"Fried Jinhua relies too much on luck, and everyone is blind and completely depends on luck, so it is more like a pure gamble, without any wisdom in it."
"And stud, because there is a hidden card and an open card, exposing too much information, so the gambling skills are seriously weakened, and it is difficult to catch fire."
"The design intention of this "Thunder Poker" should be to take the best of both worlds, players can judge the strength of each other's cards through the card type of the community cards, and hide some key information, so that players can fight more fiercely."
"But I think it remains to be seen whether such reforms and attempts will succeed. And, after all, this is a new type of poker, and all players have to learn it from scratch, and even if it does become popular, it will take a long time. ”
"In the meantime, we can also develop this kind of poker."
Lin Zhaoxu asked: "We also do this kind of poker, there should be no legal risks, right?" ”
Wu Zhao nodded: "There is no legal risk." New ways of playing cards are 'rules and methods of intellectual activity' and are not patentable. That is, everyone can do it. ”
Lin Zhaoxu said: "That is to say, according to your judgment, this game will not have a major harm to Imperial Dynasty chess and cards in the short term, and it is impossible to poach the players of our Imperial Dynasty game platform." ”
Wu Zhao thought for a moment and said, "So to speak. ”
Lin Zhaoxu said: "Then what if, this game is promoted on the homepage of the Imperial Dynasty game platform for a month? ”
Wu Zhao: "Huh?? ”
Lin Zhaoxu said: "Some time ago, you all know about the bet between Qiu Bin and Chen Mo, right? This game will be hung on the recommended position on the homepage of our imperial game platform for a month. ”
Wu Zhao frowned and said, "Mr. Lin, isn't this an opportunity for the other party to dig up our wall?" ”
Lin Zhaoxu said: "That's why I asked you how big the impact will be." ”
Wu Zhao was a little embarrassed, thought for a while and said, "Well, there will still be some impact, but it shouldn't hurt your muscles and bones." This chess card was made by that Chen Mo? Why didn't he promote "My name is MT", but promote such a board game? ”
Lin Zhaoxu said: "Just don't hurt your muscles and bones." You don't have to ask about the rest. ”
Wu Zhao nodded: "Yes, I understand." But Mr. Lin, this guy has a lot of ghost ideas, so you still have to pay attention to it at all times, don't be made any more moths by him. ”
Lin Zhaoxu said: "Okay, I know. You can follow up on this whole process. This recommendation is nothing, the key is not to let him poach too many players from our Imperial Dynasty game platform. ”
Wu Zhao nodded: "Yes, I understand." ”
Wu Zhao left Lin Zhaoxu's office.
Lin Zhaoxu fell into deep thought.
"Do you want players to want money? This kid is not very ambitious. ”
Originally, Lin Zhaoxu also thought that Chen Mo was going to use this recommendation to promote "My Name is MT". After all, the profitability of "My Name is MT" itself is very strong, and if you add the blessing of the Imperial Dynasty game platform, it will not be a problem to double the monthly flow, and it is likely to approach 50 million.
At that time, Chen Mo's net income will be more than 10 million yuan per month.
However, Chen Mo actually gave up his net income of more than 10 million per month and chose to promote a chess and card game?
This kind of courage is not something that ordinary people can have.
Chen Mo's intentions were obvious, and it was impossible for Lin Zhaoxu not to guess them.
Chess and card games can't make a lot of money, and their profitability is far inferior to "My name is MT", but the characteristics of chess and card games are that the cost of acquiring users is relatively low, combined with the newly launched Thunder game platform, which is obviously to grab users.
However, this can be regarded as a kind of conspiracy, even if Lin Zhaoxu guesses it, it is useless, it is impossible for Emperor Dynasty Mutual Entertainment to play tricks or break his promise because Chen Mo has a potential threat, after all, there are so many people who eat melons are watching.
……
Don't board games make money?
It is true that there is no money in the parallel world, but in Chen Mo's previous life, chess and card games were the most muffled games to make a fortune, and there was no one.
The reason why this is so is because the designers of the parallel world did not think of the twists and turns in the previous life.
It's just that Chen Mo doesn't plan to make money in this way.
Why don't board games make money? Because players lack the motivation to keep topping up. Rookie players lose all the time, and it is impossible to win with money, and it will soon realize that this is no different from throwing money. Other games can also buy combat power, chess and card games can be charged with money, if the card skills are not good, it is to be a charity gambling king.
And those players who are good at poker, they are not willing to charge money, because they can rely on their own skills to earn beans. Moreover, when these people's beans reach a certain value, such as 10 million or 100 million, these beans cannot be realized or exchanged for money, and they will slowly lose interest in the game.
Therefore, in this kind of chess and card game, money is in and out, it is a net loss, and most players' desire to recharge is seriously suppressed.
Chess and card games do not make money, which has become a consensus in the industry.
Tokens in board games, such as Happy Beans, are strictly forbidden to be exchanged for real money. The law expressly prohibits all chess and card games that can be exchanged for real money in both directions, which is suspected of gambling for profit, which is illegal.
Once convicted, not only will the game be completely taken off the shelves, but the developer will even face jail time.
In Chen Mo's previous life, the reason why chess and card games made a lot of money was because most developers avoided legal risks by rubbing the edges.
For example, if a coin dealer is set up overseas, the coin dealer will exchange game currency for players in both directions, and the developer will make a profit in the form of "rake".
In the game, the game currency transaction between players is realized through the "friend table", and the actual cash transaction is based on the platform of the currency dealer.
Many chess and card game companies that make a lot of money basically use this model, and in some places, chess and cards even rely on tens of thousands of users to complete the annual profit of tens of millions.
And Texas Hold'em is one of the hardest hit areas, almost nine out of ten of those who do Poker clubs are using this model, and the profits are even more terrifying.
However, Chen Mo still decided to let this secret rot in his heart forever, hoping that this model would never appear in the game circle of this world.
