Chapter 226 - 226: 221 yer Benefits<div>

    Having ten thousand ces implies ten thousand yers. Since each yer can bring along two family members, that means thirty thousand people. If everyone is included, a luxurious nine-day trip to the Malya Kingdom would cost each yer almost 10,000 me Nation coins. This would mean thepany would have to spend 300 million me Nation coins. Could this be called spending just a little money?


    What would be considered arge amount then? WY is a gamingpany, how much do we usually make per month for a game? However, if Finn Lewis decides on something, Yuri Johnson has learned that it’s impossible to deny. Therefore, after triple-confirming, Yuri reluctantly agreed to it with a wry smile.<div>


    “By the way, let thepany start booking hotels in a bit; let’s schedule for three months from now. That would be around November when the peak season in the Malya Kingdom is over. This would be like ourpany’s carnival. To be a sessful gamepany, the yers’ carnival must be sessful. Take a look at Blizzard; why do yers all over the world adore the Blizzard carnival? If we want to be apany like Blizzard, we must treat our yers as our bread and butter; to think from the perspective of our yers.” Finn shrugged as he spoke.


    “Bing apany like Blizzard is also pretty simple.” Yuri, being a bit speechless, could not help but mutter.


    “Really? Any ideas?” Finn asked, taken aback.


    “Just buy out Blizzard.” Yuri shrugged.


    “Hm, do you think that would benefit us?” Finn thought for a moment before probing.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Yuri blinked, “Director Lewis, you aren’t really considering buying Blizzard, right?”


    “Why not? I didn’t buy Blizzard before because I didn’t think it would be of much use to us, given that WY could potentially be a gamingpany like Blizzard. But since you said it’s useful, then let’s just buy it.” Finn replied with a counter-question.


    Yun? : Yuri was utterly lost for words. He suddenly felt like he was just not on the same wavelength as Finn. Bloody hell, how was he supposed to engage in a pleasant conversation? Was it simply his harmless remark that led to this? Was it that straightforward to decide to buy? This… Yuri suddenly felt like he was a really poor man. A poor man worth fifty billion Federal coins?


    “I think I’ll go and handle the tasks you assigned, Director Lewis.” Yuri decided he couldn’t chat with Finn any longer. The conversation was just too unsettling. Could it not be like this? Yuri always regarded himself as a sessful man. But ever since he met Finn, Yuri felt as if he was just a bumpkin. Has he seriously be too old? He was only forty-four years old. Was he already out of touch with the times?


    Ever since the press conference, NW’s “World” attracted the attention of almost all gamingpanies worldwide, Blizzard included. An engine’s quality, although not everything, is undeniably an integral part of a game’s appeal. And its visual quality highly influences today’s gamers.


    Monster World was pretty popr, right? But even with the highly receptive Federal yers, manyined about the ugliness of the characters. If it weren’t for the cool and borate weapon designs in Monster World, theints over its overall design would probably be vastly amplified.<div>


    So when WY announced during the press conference that the game would only need about a month for public beta testing, most gamingpanies didn’t believe it. They saw NW’s announcement as a publicity stunt. Since when can a game beunched for public testing just after a month of its reveal?


    Of course, these gamingpanies could not fathom how much a yer like Finn despised those endless tests. For the love of God, don’t make the game if you can’t even develop it properly! As a yer, it’s annoying that as soon as the framework of a game is set, it’s already being tested, with various trials that treat yers like fools.


    As if that’s not enough, they even open the shop during these tests, encouraging yers to make in-game purchases. It’s just unbearable. Therefore, Finn decided to go public as soon as possible.


    However, to these other gamepanies, WY had always been a big yer in the domestic market and is now an even bigger yer internationally. Even when foreignpanies caught a glimpse of this game, they had a strange sensation of the wolf being at the doorstep.


    Originally, the games that were preparing for public testing on 17173, or other kinds of tests, either postponed their trials or advanced them directly after IVY announced their test schedules. Now, there are no new games being tested within a ten-day span—only “World” remains.


    Of course, these gamepanies were all waiting for I,VY to make a mistake. Once a slip-up is made, they would attack without reservation. Still, while waiting for  to mess up, they probably swore at thepany hundreds of times. Damn it, wouldn’t it be better if your gameunched a few yearster? Everyone is rushing to release new games and reap direct profits, isn’t that better?


    Apany like Blizzard, what’s so great about it? Yes, Blizzard made money out of Monster World, but do you think these domesticpanies want to be like Blizzard? No, they don’t. Strictly speaking, they earn no less than Blizzard. Blizzard may make more, but consider the cost and time to develop a game like Monster World. Some of thesepanies can create two games a year, and each game can be developed with just a few million.


    As long as they start charging, they can rake in a huge amount of money. If no one ys, they can simply shut down the server, repackage the same game under a different name andunch it again. After all, the market only offers so many games, and yers have limited choices. Isn’t it nice when everyone tacitly agrees to go along with this?


    Who the hell knew a tycoon like WY woulde along? Of course, they mostly cursed notIAN, but this goddamned tycoon. Couldn’t you just y the game, maybe ssh some cash on gear if you weren’t satisfied? Even if you bought the best gear for your character, how much could it cost? Who the hell buys an entire gamepany with money?


    Okay, you said it was for Kay Lee. But for a celebrity, you could’ve bought anypany to ask her for endorsements. Why did you insist on buying a gamingpany? Not only did you ask for endorsements, but you also had to introduce this kind of game like WY’s? And at a nuclear level, isn’t this breaking the rules?


    All this mess caused by WY only started after Finn Lewis bought WY. If you think there’s no link to Finn, do you think these gamepany bosses will believe it? Although they grumbled sourly about it, it was the ssic case of sour grapes.<div>


    Everyone was waiting. As long as WY’s new game was all about graphics andcked content, they would have a chance to attack. Besides, for yers, it’s hard to abandon an old game that they’ve yed for a long time. There are many friends in the game, and switching to a new game is extremely difficult.


    Thus, the online rates of all major gamepanies recently plummeted. But they weren’t too worried. As long as yers yed WY’s new game for a few days, they woulde back. This happened before. But unexpectedly, before WY’s new game went into public testing, they received news that one could say was a bolt from the blue!


    “As a responsible gamingpany, yers are the foundation of ourpany. To reward yers, we will officiallyunch a new leveling-up event for the new game, ‘World’! The first 10,000 yers at full level across all servers will get a luxurious nine-day Malya Kingdom tour sponsored by WY! Each yer can bring two family members. At that time, all IVY yers wille together, and host their own WY carnival in Malya Kingdom!”


    “…All expenses for this event will be provided by WVY’s new chairman personally. We can now tell all our yers that in this event, all our amodation, food and transport will be of the finest quality, with all hotels being five-star hotels. The top 100 yers will get to stay in genuine beachfront vis…


    “And events like this carnival, we will host one every year.”


    After reading this announcement, these gamepanies were all dumbfounded. Are you serious?! Isn’t this tantly breaking the game rules? If you pull tricks like this, how are we supposed to host yer events in the future?


    Could you please stop being so prodigal? Even offering such an event to the top 100 yers on all servers would be considered an extravagant act. But you’re giving it to the top ten thousand? And they can each bring two family members? How much money can you make from a gamepany? You’re just throwing out a few hundred million like it’s nothing. Is that really okay?


    Moreover…you’re putting them all in five-star hotels. What the hell are you up to? Somepanies have practically gone insane. Usually when they host an event and give away a few phones, the yers are already thrilled. Compared to IVY’s new chairman’s generosity, what are they? ying house? Who’s going to give a damn about them giving away phones andputers in the future? The bosses of these gamingpanies wanted to cry but had no tears to shed..
