Some people may wonder why founders such as Michael Morhaime would sell 100% of Blizzard’s shares so easily. Is this a bit exaggerated and unrealistic?

The fact is that this is not an exaggeration, because historically, after Warcraft 1994 was released in January 1, the distributor responsible for selling World of Warcraft saw Warcraft 1 products again and was shocked.

So spent 64010000 US dollars, also bought 100% of the shares of Blizzard.

Later, the distributor itself was acquired by an entertainment group in France, and then the entertainment group was acquired by Vidiwang. Finally, Blizzard was sold to Activision by Vidiwang, and the name changed to Activision. As Blizzard.

Therefore, Blizzard can be said to have been in the stage of being sold, and the two founders of Blizzard have been serving as president and vice president successively, basically unchanged.

The same situation is the future of Riot Games. Many people may not know that Riot Games is actually a Chinese company, because Riot Games bought 99% of its shares by Tencent.

When Tencent acquired Riot, it also promised that unless the founders quit, the company’s control will always be given to these two founders, and Tencent is only responsible for investment.

This is also one of the behavioral characteristics of the National Merchant industry, that is, even if the merchants in the U.S. acquire the entire company, under normal circumstances they will not move the founder of the company, but will instead keep the founder as much as possible, because basically the founder People are the best controller of this company.

After China’s companies have completed the acquisition, their favorite thing to do is to kick the founder out.

For example, are you hungry? For example, Didi? For example…Anyway, for many well-known companies, their founders are basically kicked out. Among all the big capitals in China, Alibaba is the favorite to do such things.

Because of Alibaba’s desire for control engraved in the bones, all acquired companies must be firmly controlled, so those founders who have great prestige within the company, and are very disobedient and have their own ideas, naturally Is about to be kicked away.

Well, but then again, Boss Jia is actually a person with a strong desire for control. If it hadn’t been known in advance that the two founders of Blizzard were born with incompetent temperament, Boss Jia wouldn’t dare to worry about game development. So decisively hand over the development rights of the game to these two founders.

Okay, let’s get back to the subject. Boss Jia thought that after signing the contract, he would be able to pat his butt and leave, but Michael Morhaime kept Jia Yapeng in, and then asked Jia Yapeng to advise himself. Check out World of Warcraft 1 What else needs to be modified?

The reason why Michael Morhaime is so impatient for Boss Jia to comment is because Boss Jia is the founder of Pokemon, and Michael Morhaime now admires the prostrate oneself in admiration of Pokemon games. In his eyes, Boss Jia is the best in the world. One of the hardest gamers.

In fact, the same is true. After all, Boss Jia has played all the games in the next 30 years, and proposed some shortcomings and improvement plans, which is not as simple as playing.

However, Boss Jia will not make too many changes, otherwise there will be a lot of things that are not in line with the times, and when the time comes is bad.

So Boss Jia put forward some suggestions for modification, such as the operation method, after playing it seriously.

The operation method of Warcraft 1 was learned from Hill, so it was too inhuman, completely different from the operation method of later Warcraft, so Boss Jia gave all the basic operation methods of later generations.

at first Michael Morhaime was also a little skeptical about this way of operation, but after getting started, Michael Morhaime was surprised to find that it was so easy to get started several times more easily. Even players with handicapped can operate very smoothly, and just put it on the spot. All operation methods are recorded and modified.

In addition to the operation method, there is also a change in the fog of war.

The fog of war in the original Warcraft 1 is the same as the fog of war in red alert 2. Although at first is also black, as long as the map is found, the map will always be lit and you can clearly see what happened on the map. All fights.

According to Boss Jia’s suggestion, the fog of war has changed to the future, that is, the at first map is black. After seeing the map, you can see the specific terrain of the map, but each unit has a line of sight. Once the unit leaves, The map will be dark again.

These changes are very small, but in the eyes of Michael Morhaime, it is simply an epoch-making change. After Michael Morhaime looked at Jia Yapeng’s eyes, it was almost the same as the eyes of his lover, making Boss Jia have one’s hair stand on end.

“By the way, there is one last thing!” Boss Jia suddenly thought of something, “Mike, do you think the company’s current Silicon & Synapse name should be changed?”

“Yes, Boss, I wanted to change this name a long time ago!” When Michael Morhaime heard it, he couldn’t help but laugh. “All the employees said our name is terrible, because 99% of people say it. The correct pronunciation of the word Synapse cannot be heard!”

“Then what name are you going to change to?” Boss Jia asked, actually without Michael Morhaime, Boss Jia also knew that the new name in Michael Morhaime’s mind must be called Blizzard.

“Well, I have already figured out the new name. I decided to rename the company to Chaos Studio!” Michael Morhaime said loudly, while Boss Jia almost choked on his throat.

“What are you talking about? Chaos Studio?” Boss Jia couldn’t help asking again?

“Yeah, Boss, are you dissatisfied with this name?” Michael Morhaime looked at Boss Jia with some concern. This is a new name he came up with after months of thinking and meditation. He is personally very satisfied. If it were Boss Jia If you don’t agree, it will be troublesome.

“It’s okay! I have no opinion!” Boss Jia shook his head and sighed in his heart at the same time, he incited the butterfly wings again and made the name Blizzard disappear.

At the same time, Boss Jia still has some worries about whether many classic games in the future will be slapped away by his own butterfly wings.

But it doesn’t matter, if the future is really gone, then Boss Jia himself can order Blizzard to create one, which is nothing at worst.

Only a few days later, Boss Jia, who had returned to New York, suddenly received a call from Michael Morhaime. Michael Morhaime told Boss Jia very sadly that when they applied for the registration of the chaotic trademark, they discovered that it had been registered by other game companies. They can’t use the new name Chaos,

So Michael Morhaime said that it would be better to ask the chairman to personally name the new company.

“Then call Blizzard!” Boss Jia said with a smile.
