News Headline: Blasting Speculators in the Gaming Circle

Released by: Tengxu News Editor

As everyone knows, the gaming circle in our country has always been very distorted. Many practitioners cannot receive satisfactory rewards, while some speculators outside the circle, waving the "pay-to-win" banner, are causing havoc and disrupting the reputation of the entire circle.

Like a certain so-called top second-generation rich speculator.

Spending money to invest in independent foreign studios, getting them to make buyout single-player games.

But domestically, heavily investing in games like That Silly Rabbit and some pay-to-win SLG games, attempting to grab players' wallets to subsidize foreign single-player game developers.

This article is very long. Chen Yiyang only read one section and felt his high blood pressure flare up.

Because the entire article subtly accuses some people in the country of engaging in pay-to-win mobile games domestically, while investing in single-player games abroad.

Disrupting the domestic game market and then taking the money to subsidize foreign game markets.

No need to say more about who this is hinting at.

Chen Yiyang didn't expect that his past investment in That Silly Rabbit would actually be dug up by people from Tengxu News.

He wondered if Wang Yuan had said something that got out and was known by others.

Chen Yiyang looked up Wang Yuan's current studio and found that it had indeed been invested in by Tengxu.

Damn it, can't Tengxu have a little shame?

These things mentioned in the news, aren't you the ones doing the most of it?

Chen Yiyang just happened to invest in Huang Zaihao's independent game.

And ended up being caught and scolded.

Chen Yiyang checked the comments below the news.

Sure enough, someone was saying that Chen Yiyang only invested in mobile games and online games domestically.

Yet he gave a guaranteed sale of two million copies for a South Korean game, allowing them to make games without any pressure.

Isn't this using domestic players' money to subsidize foreign game developers?

The netizens below almost cursed Chen Yiyang as a traitor.

Chen Yiyang immediately called the person in charge of Tengxu Entertainment.

"Brother, don't be mad. I just asked around. It was a junior editor helping a colleague, so they posted this article. I've already asked someone to take it down."

After a while, the person in charge of Tengxu Entertainment replied to Chen Yiyang.

"Alright," Chen Yiyang could only nod and accept this handling.

"By the way," the tone of the person in charge of Tengxu Entertainment suddenly changed, saying, "I heard you also invested in an SLG game and that it collided with the one made by our game department?"

"That's true. It looks like both will have public tests at the same time," Chen Yiyang said frankly.

"I have faith in you," the person in charge of Tengxu Entertainment said without any further comments and hung up the phone.

Faith in me, what the hell.

Chen Yiyang thought for a moment, unsure about the current situation inside Tengxu.

But he figured he didn't need to understand either.

Since someone provoked him, he had to fight back!

So Chen Yiyang directly took a cab to Luo Yuncheng's studio.

"How's the game preparation going?" Chen Yiyang asked.

"Funds are very adequate now, giving us more time for promotion and more thorough preparation." Luo Yuncheng appeared full of confidence.

"Our game name has been officially confirmed as Strategies of the Three Kingdoms, and it's planned to launch in one to two months. There may still be one or two more small-scale tests during this period."

"When is Tengxu's Imperial War set to launch?" Chen Yiyang asked.

"From what I see, their game is launching in three days. We, being well-funded, can wait one to two months before launching."

Luo Yuncheng began explaining to Chen Yiyang.

"SLG games are seasonal, with each season lasting about three months. However, battles within the server typically end within a month.

Especially the first season, as players are randomly assigned within the server, many pay-to-win players will form strong alliances to prepare for the second season's battles.

Therefore, the first season's battles end earlier than in a typical season. So my opinion is to lag behind Tengxu's Imperial War by one to two months in public testing.

This way, players in Tengxu's game nearing the season's end, with nothing to do, might give our game a try."

"No, our game will launch in six days, only three days after theirs. Start preparing now."

"Ah, this urgent?" Luo Yuncheng was dumbfounded by Chen Yiyang's words.

Launching three days later.

Isn't that just purely staging a showdown?

And against Tengxu's flagship title, no less.

Chen Yiyang as an investor must be crazy.

"Also, get in touch with the gaming media for me," Chen Yiyang spoke again.

"I already paid a lot of media outlets before; they will advertise for us once the game is online, no need to contact them further," Luo Yuncheng hurriedly said.

"I don't want them to advertise our game; I want them to 'fairly' review Tengxu's game once it goes online."

Chen Yiyang emphasized the word "fairly" heavily.

Luo Yuncheng instantly understood what Chen Yiyang intended to do.

What did the Imperial War project team do to provoke Chen Yiyang into chasing them down like this?

He was concerned his game might become cannon fodder.

But, on second thought.

Since Chen Yiyang threw in tens of millions for promotion, it was his money to burn.

And he had great confidence in the game he developed.

He was only planning to launch one to two months later for caution's sake.

Now that the investor had gone crazy, why not go crazy himself?

With this thought, Luo Yuncheng immediately made up his mind.

"I had initially arranged a small-scale balance testing phase. It seems unnecessary now. Cancel the test, and we'll start the open test right away. I'll arrange it now."

"Mm." Chen Yiyang nodded, "Post the announcement."

That evening, the official account of Strategies of the Three Kingdoms announced that the game would be publicly tested in six days.

And under Chen Yiyang's financial assault, the advertising for Strategies of the Three Kingdoms started saturating various social advertisements immediately.

The platforms where Chen Yiyang focused on buying ads were none other than Tengxu's QQ and WeChat, the two social platforms.

The person who connected the dots for Chen Yiyang on these platforms and introduced advertising resources was, unexpectedly, the person in charge of Tengxu Entertainment.

Thus, a peculiar scene appeared on Tengxu's QQ.

The first ad users saw was for Strategies of the Three Kingdoms.

The second ad was for Imperial War.

Moreover, the slogans for both games claimed they aimed to revolutionize SLG games.

Meanwhile, within Tengxu Games.

A man named Wang Chunyun called Jian Ming to his office.

Wang Chunyun was a senior executive at Tengxu Games, overseeing multiple games for Tengxu.

The Dota Alliance national server, overseen by Jian Ming, was also directly under his supervision.

So when Jian Ming arrived at Wang Chunyun's office, he thought it might be something about Dota Alliance that had gone wrong, for which he would be questioned by Wang Chunyun.

"Do you know this person, Chen Yiyang?" Wang Chunyun asked Jian Ming an unexpected question.
