About this experience of purchasing the Lord of the Rings IP authorization, I almost reminded Chu He. Although the non-profit MOD keeps an open and closed attitude, this is also a big problem if the copyright party has to make it. .

In the meeting room of Tianhe Network, Chu He discussed with the internal senior executives: "How do you feel about purchasing a part of the IP license? Non-commercial for-profit licenses, such as allowing players to use the war series of games, making corresponding non-profit-making MOD."

"But the authorization fee is a big problem." Someone suggested it.

Obtaining the authorization of the Lord of the Rings series from Warner has already paid 2 million euros. This price is definitely a delusion to make a 3A level game, but it can definitely produce a good commercial game.

If each copyright cost millions of dollars, it would be too cost-effective.

"You can try to talk about it, after all, Warner is not very good now." Chu He thought and smiled.

The reason why Warner spoke 2 million is not just to take advantage of the fire, but because it is under the Warner banner during the same period, and it also includes the Lord of the Rings game.

"It would be nice if Blizzard's IP could be brought in." Pigg said with some emotion.

World of Warcraft and Interstellar rely on these two games alone. It may be a little difficult for Blizzard to have a lifetime, but it is definitely not a problem to rely on these two games for more than a decade or two.

At the same time, under the framework of the war series, if the war between Starcraft and Warcraft is made into a MOD, it is absolutely shocking enough.

In the game world, these two IPs under Blizzard can definitely be called the legend.

"Don't think about Blizzard's IP, contact EA and Ubisoft and start with the IP in their hands." Chu He smiled and said.

The relationship between Blizzard and Tianhe Network is not particularly good. From the previous dispute with Blizzard's DOTA copyright, and then to the collapse of Blizzard DOTA, it may be a bit exaggerated to say that it is a dead enemy.

However, Blizzard is sure that Tianhe does not deal with it, and Blizzard is far from degenerating to the need to authorize its IP to spend the day.

Not long ago, Blizzard seemed to give people a feeling of sunset and sunset, and even the sci-fi MMPRPG Titan that has been secretly developed has collapsed, but the follow-up card game that relies on the Warcraft series IP directly let them rise again.

It is impossible to get two authorizations from the three pro-sons from Blizzard's hands. They just think about it.

"Don't think about it in the gaming world, no one will give us official authorization." Chu He smiled and shook his head.

Ubisoft and EA are barely considered to be their own families. They exchanged benefits with each other, meaning that they could get it.

But other game manufacturers are not that silly.

Warner authorized you because the first Lord of the Rings game sold so badly, and the other party’s focus was not on game development. Although there are sequels, it is still far away.

This object should be replaced by someone in the game industry. For example, if you licked your face and ran to Microsoft, could you authorize Halo's IP for us to make MOD?

Microsoft will certainly follow you with a smile, halo IP?

Mind you, look at our game console platform login, is it a topic of exclusive or limited time exclusive?

Pay for it?

Is Microsoft a person who is short of money?

Of course, Chu He thinks that others will not be sold, but in fact someone still has to talk about it.

If the other party's asking price is not excessive, then agree, but if the other party asks too much, then turn around and leave.

In addition to these things, Chuhe also let specialized people form a war series of MOD communities, and set up a separate department to operate this MOD community.

Some excellent MOD teams will select 30 excellent MODs every month, and the team will give a reward of $5,000.

The monthly cost of 150,000 US dollars can be exchanged for a large number of MODs to maintain the game's vitality. Chu He feels that if it can be done, it is still a very cost-effective thing.

With the promotion of the war series, in addition to the Lord of the Rings MOD, there are also some well-known MOD teams at home and abroad to announce the news on the relevant game social platform.

The two games in the War series have been constantly increasing in popularity. On the other hand, the steam platform in their eyes is also anxious, although they recently discussed a large cooperation project with Microsoft to let the Halo series land on the steam platform, removing the latest In the development of unlimited projects, the auras of all generations will land on the Microsoft store and the steam platform.

But after all, this is just an old game. Compared to the TEU lineup on the Tianhe network, the masterpiece on the steam platform has been a bit less taste in recent times.

Reluctantly, this is what the steam platform feels like now. TEU is different from EPIC. They do not monopolize. They produce and sell their own profits to players. On the steam platform, they want to discount even if they pay for it by themselves. It is not that simple.

Other manufacturers are also staring at them. Tianhe Network can discount it because they are game manufacturers themselves. They don’t let the platform pay for it. They pay for it by themselves.

difficult!

This is the current feeling of the steam platform. Watching TEU's brutal development, they have even reached into their steam platform's trouser pockets to grab users, but they have no alternative.

When the steam platform was in trouble, EPIC was still looking for third-party manufacturers to discuss and monopolize. Under the expectation of countless players, Tianhe Network and the TEU platform officially announced that the war series will be unlocked and purchased, and the game will be opened on the same day. Server and MOD community.

At the same time, console players can already pre-order on the official website, gamesstop, Amazon and other stores ~www.NovelMTL.com~ in advance.

Numerous players were excited when the news came out.

Whether it is a domestic or foreign game circle, basically the two games of the war series are given to the slaughter version.

The official disclosed a game online time, and then there is no more news?

In addition to the MOD is a major feature of the gameplay content, do you know anything else?

It doesn't matter, the two series of promotional videos put on the Tianhe Network Carnival were taken out and put away, and you can find some stories in the E3 and Cologne exhibition. The MOD video of the Lord of the Rings was just released some time ago Can also make up the number.

The article can be unprofessional, but the heat must be rubbed.

Not only did the game media publish related articles, but some self-media and portal websites that were not able to catch up with the game industry also published related news.

All players are waiting for the day when the two wars are unlocked.
