They might even burn out the graphics card.
...
Meanwhile, Penguin Game and Blue Hole are also brewing a new major update.
Their game has been on the market for two months and has only attracted over 600,000 users.
After a month of discussions between the two parties, the conclusion was that the game’s memory size was too large, and they must learn from Aurora Studio to lower the barrier for players.
At the same time, they also need to abandon the idea of charging and enter the free market.
Both of these are not simple matters; giving up charging is equivalent to entering a brawl, and they will not have much revenue in the short term.
As for lowering the game’s rendering effects... like PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds?
Even if you open the 8x scope in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, you can’t see beyond 600 meters on the map, while in Blue Hole’s Battle Royale, you can see 1,300 meters.
Blue Hole believes that this offers more gameplay, while Aurora Studio is just technically inadequate.
But in the current market... people recognize Aurora Studio’s products, not their Battle Royale.
They are being driven out by inferior products!
If they don’t lower the rendering quality, players will buy it and find their computers can’t run it, they will definitely curse.
Thus, this major update plan has been decided, ready for implementation in early March.
This is also Penguin Game’s command that must capture this market, otherwise, the existence of Aurora Studio would severely threaten Penguin Game’s domestic authority.
Now Aurora Studio’s PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has clearly become the hottest game in the country, and under its pressure, LOL is declining, with more and more players leaving.
Penguin’s foundation is instant messaging, but the core of making money is Penguin Game.
They are very anxious as PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds announced a city tournament after the new year.
Unfortunately, Blue Hole’s Battle Royale has no users domestically.
Even with promotions from LOL’s big streamers and some live streaming platforms, the purchases are less than 50,000 copies.
Going free is imperative!
They must strive to catch up with Aurora Studio’s pace; as long as they are not left too far behind, with Penguin Game’s foundation, they can take down Aurora Studio.
As for acquiring Aurora Studio... Penguin Game has thought about it.
Unfortunately, it didn’t succeed, as Aurora Studio just ignored them and even holds a grudge.
...
Bai Qing was getting more and more surprised as she read.
Li Yang had started planning long ago for this game update.
They’re about to launch a graphics card called Seven-Colored Rainbow 007 in cooperation with Seven-Colored Rainbow, which can perfectly adapt to the updated PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.
Just not sure if anyone will buy it.
Reading it all, she felt it didn’t quite fit Li Yang’s usual style.
Li Yang never thought of exploiting players before, but here, he seems to have some intention of doing so.
Just then, Li Yang came back from work.
She voiced all her doubts.
"Honey, is our PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds serving to sell graphics cards? I saw that Seven-Colored Rainbow’s new graphics card is about to be released."
"It is, and it isn’t... let’s execute the previous strategy for now, don’t change it easily, and afterward, you can do whatever you want, I’ll listen to you."
"I..." Bai Qing felt even more pressure.
"Dear."
"Hmm..."
...
Li Yang knows clearly that Seven-Colored Rainbow’s technology all comes from NVIDIA.
And NVIDIA needs this market.
Eighteen years ago, it was the iteration of global computer hardware coupled with virtual currency that directly pushed NVIDIA to an 800 billion US dollar market value.
Later, due to insufficient artificial intelligence computing power, NVIDIA was pushed to nearly a 3 trillion US dollar world-leading company.
He’s first using Seven-Colored Rainbow as an example, using their sales data to speak, to facilitate negotiations with NVIDIA.
Moreover, his biggest bet this time is also placed on NVIDIA.
NVIDIA’s current 80 billion US dollar market cap can accommodate quite a bit of money.
The price negotiated with Seven-Colored Rainbow leaves them with almost no profit, but the overall cost-performance ratio is still quite high. After all, both parties can make some sacrifices for the market.
With each update, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds demands more on hardware; this year is just an appetizer. Next year, they hope to make even the game characters’ fine hair visible.
And this year is not a particularly good time for negotiations with NVIDIA; next year is.
Next year, virtual currency will face an unprecedented blow, with NVIDIA’s market value plummeting from 200 billion US dollars to 90 billion dollars, they must be anxious.
So, this year he’s holding back, as they also need to consolidate user habits, so there aren’t any drastic updates.
...
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Li Yang didn’t return home and spent time with Bai Qing.
Jiang Banxia was also busy preparing a closed-end fund product and the company’s IPO.
On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Wu Tianqi came over.
The reason was simply that Li Yang didn’t trust Bai Qing and Chen Peipei to take the child to Capital City, so he got a big guy to accompany them and help carry the suitcases.
As for the cost... anyway, Wu Tianqi didn’t sleep at home that night.
After sending them onto the high-speed train, Li Yang rushed back from Jiangbei and drove Jiang Banxia to Capital City, as school was starting the next day.
In the case of not lacking money, several companies were doing well, and the development direction hadn’t deviated too much.
"Master Li... I think I might be pregnant..."
Li Yang turned to look at Jiang Banxia in the passenger seat, who looked a bit embarrassed.
He asked, "Did you get a hospital checkup?"
"No... it’s just that my period hasn’t come... I didn’t have the guts to tell my family, when we’re in Capital City, can you accompany me for a checkup?"
