As we head into late June, the competition on the PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds War God leaderboard is becoming increasingly intense.
The discussions online are also quite extensive, after all, the final prize is a whopping 28 million.
There are a total of six modes, and every mode is filled to capacity; there’s no such thing as an unpopular mode because the prize distribution is the sa across the board.
Maybe at the start, so modes were less popular, like the three first-person modes which weren’t as entertaining but were more competitive.
But once the prize money ca into play, they all beca the sa.
When split evenly, each person gets over seven thousand.
If the prize isn’t split evenly and is weighted according to ranking, then the top few could potentially earn over ten thousand.
This is a professional league open to everyone.
Whether it’s for the money or the bragging rights, everyone’s online looking to team up.
Even many girls are popping up everywhere.
The social aspect of the entire ga is being showcased brilliantly at this mont.
Essentially, the first batch of professional players will erge around this ti.
Because the ga has no foreign servers, Aurora Studio invited so foreign strears to host events, which has led to many foreigners flooding into the national server.
Most of them are using VPNs for the first ti.
This, in turn, provides higher emotional value, at least for the players.
Gas are actually a form of cultural invasion. For example, Blue Hole sneaked in so of its own content into PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, tweaking the K2 paraters produced by their country to the extre, making it a very popular weapon.
They even lowered the QBZ parater of China to the point where it beca neglected.
For many who are unaware, they might think the ga paraters are based on reality, believing K2 to be a very strong weapon, admiring South Korea’s military capabilities.
Correspondingly, Peacekeeper Elite also added so dostic weapons in special maps, but... the paraters were awful, and no one played them.
They claid it was based on PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds paraters.
What nonsense!
Li Yang was different. The current PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds features quite a few dostic weapons.
He didn’t put anyone down or raise anyone up, but just went with the real paraters. As a result, a lot of people use dostic weapons, and many beginners even favor them.
During the gaplay, communication between people can also expand the outward spread of Chinese culture.
Li Yang sotis thought of not creating foreign servers, just having one national server for foreigners to co play.
But on second thought, he decided against it, as the delay might deter many people.
Because of the popularity of battle royale gas, after almost two months of developnt, the market has already started seeing similar gas.
But they are pretty rough, rushed due to the urgency.
Major companies are also taking action; they want to capitalize on this wave of traffic.
As for infringent or not, as long as it’s not an outright copy, it’s basically fine.
At so point, there suddenly appeared so online rumors saying PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds plagiarized Blue Hole’s Battlegrounds Battle Royale, with both gas being almost identical, blatantly copying many settings.
There were even ntions that Blue Hole had already sued Aurora Studio, but Aurora Studio hasn’t responded yet.
Dostically, those big companies are surely fueling the flas, trying to crush PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, aiming to launch their own gas within three to four months to capture the market.
Business warfare...
...
A team from Penguin’s gaming departnt had arrived in South Korea.
Their goal was to inspect Blue Hole’s Battlegrounds Battle Royale. If all was well, they would buy it.
After all, this was their habit; starting from scratch had too high a ti cost.
The sudden rise of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds had a massive impact on LOL and dealt an unprecedented blow to the entire Penguin ga departnt, making them eager to reclaim their market share.
With Penguin’s leading position in communications software, they lack traffic but not gas.
The PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds model has been proven viable and can get hugely popular; even if it didn’t compete with them, they would still produce a similar ga through investnts or other channels.
If communication is their moat, gas are their tentacles.
Most of Penguin’s annual revenue relies on gas, and they will not lose this high ground.
After investigating and comparing, they didn’t care much about copying or not; this model had been used in several gas before, just slightly altered gaplay.
Everyone was copying.
After seeing it, they were quite satisfied; Blue Hole’s was done better.
After all, it had been in the works since 2014.
However... they hadn’t finished it yet!
Upon discovering Aurora Studio’s PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds was online, Blue Hole also worked overti, but even so, to fully complete it would at least be until this November.
When Penguin’s gaming departnt heard about this, they didn’t mind too much; November was just around the corner.
First, negotiate and invest.
Then they could launch simultaneously, both sides preparing.
In total, it took just a week to conclude the affair.
Penguin invested 60 million US Dollars to acquire 80% of Battlegrounds Battle Royale’s shares and obtain the national server agency rights.
Then, Penguin started creating an atmosphere that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds was plagiarizing Battlegrounds Battle Royale, wanting players to believe that theirs was the legitimate version.
They even provided legal support to Blue Hole.
This legal aid was a heavy blow.
The case, originally accepted in Capital City, was relocated to Shencheng City due to the share transaction of Battlegrounds Battle Royale.
Li Yang found out after taking his final exam.
That was it.
Aurora Studio has also set up its own legal departnt, so just stall.
Let’s see if they dare to make a ruling in October.
If they dare to rule, he’ll kneel down and admit his mistake in public.
Right now, he really doesn’t want to care about this matter; he just wants to take Jiang Banxia ho.
On the afternoon of June 28th, Li Yang drove with Jiang Banxia towards their hotown.
At midnight, they left the highway and found a hotel to rest.
At 10:30 the next morning, the car entered Jiang City.
Jiang Banxia rolled down the car window and enjoyed the exhaust of Jiang City.
"The air at ho is really nice..."
"Haha, even the exhaust at ho slls better, right?"
"The sll cos from diesel exhaust because diesel contains aromatic hydrocarbons."
"Oh, oh, oh, I forgot you’re the science wiz."
"That was before, now I’m President Li’s!"
Li Yang laughed.
When the car arrived at the front of a restaurant, the two of them each started making phone calls.
Li Yang called his parents over, and Jiang Banxia also called her parents over so that both families could have lunch together.
Just the usual routine.
Because they had notified ahead of ti, neither family had eaten, although they were uncertain about the exact ti the couple would return, so they didn’t arrive early.
Jiang Yaoting and his wife crossed paths with Li Likun and his wife in the neighborhood.
As a result... four people, five counting Jiang Tiandong, who was holding Dou Ying’s hand, ca together.
They arrived just in ti to see Jiang Banxia and Li Yang waiting hand in hand at the restaurant entrance.
The four adults were all slightly slow in their movents, each wearing a different expression, with only Jiang Tiandong running over to the couple.
At this mont, Wang Cuiping smiled discreetly, barely showing her back molars.
Li Likun appeared a little cautiously, occasionally glancing at Jiang Yaoting with his peripheral vision because his own pig had rooted up soone else’s cabbage; feeling a bit guilty.
Dou Ying’s expression was much calr; she knew everything there was to know.
Although Jiang Yaoting was ntally prepared beforehand, this was still the first ti.
Previously, he had heard that Jiang Banxia confird her relationship with Li Yang during their family’s trip, but that was just hearsay, as Jiang Banxia had never exhibited it in front of her dad.
Now... it’s showing.
Unsure of his feelings.
It’s hard to say he’s unhappy; he’s quite familiar with Li Yang and his parents, knowing that Li Yang’s family is trustworthy.
To say he’s happy, there still seems to be sothing lacking.
An old father facing his daughter’s marriage will inevitably have so mixed emotions.
Even though she hasn’t married yet...
Just thankful that Li Yang isn’t a troublemaker; he’s excellent, in fact.
Jiang Tiandong, now in second grade, had grown taller.
But Li Yang still easily pulled him over and pinched his face hard.
If not for the presence of the parents, he would have tempted this little guy to call him brother-in-law.
Facing the four elders, he went up and greeted them: "Mr. Jiang, Mrs. Dou, and my parents, let’s go inside; the dishes are already being served."
Li Likun was waiting for Jiang Yaoting to speak, while Jiang Yaoting glanced at Dou Ying.
Dou Ying responded, slightly annoyed: "What are you looking at for? Hurry inside; they drove all the way back, probably didn’t sleep well last night, let them eat and rest early."
"True, true..."
In this unique atmosphere, both families entered the restaurant’s private room.
Once seated, the atmosphere relaxed considerably.
Li Likun first asked about their journey, while Jiang Yaoting took the opportunity to ntion Li Yang hadn’t had his driver’s license for long, offering to drive to the Capital City next ti for pick-up.
Li Yang would never let him pick them up; if he did, how would he book a room with Jiang Banxia? Would he dare, in front of soone else’s dad, to take his daughter into his room? Or the next morning, having her dad catch sight of his daughter coming out of Li Yang’s room looking disheveled?
Overall, the al’s atmosphere was fairly harmonious; Li Yang even persuaded his father to have a drink with Jiang Yaoting.
This way, after the al, Li Yang found an excuse to drive away with Jiang Banxia.
Of course, he also brought along Jiang Tiandong.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Jiang Banxia also breathed a sigh of relief: "Master Li, should we go see the new house tomorrow?"
"Sure, but right now... hehe..." Li Yang didn’t start driving; he just looked at Jiang Banxia.
Jiang Banxia’s face turned red.
The past and present are indeed different.
This ti, it’s like eting the parents; both sides have officially faced this situation.
As for whether they talked about it, if they didn’t refuse, it’s agreed!
"Give a kiss!"
Li Yang leaned over.
In the back seat, Jiang Tiandong felt perplexed.
The next second, a hand covered his eyes.
"Kids aren’t allowed to watch!"
