Genshin Impact: Taking the World by Storm!

"This... General Planner."

As if being doused with a bucket of cold water, Jack's enthusiasm instantly died out.

Tony Smith ignored the change in his expression and looked at the document in his hand.

"Also, if I remember correctly, this company is called Snowflake Games, right? We seem to have had a lawsuit with them before."

"There shouldn't be anyone who can't get along with money."

"You will find someone to contact them later. We want to acquire their company and see if they are willing. Of course, they are competitors of our new game, and we cannot let them take away our market share."

"You just said that they charge 13 to 15 units per draw. We will attack them on the Internet and hire online trolls to attack them. It's just a small company. I don't believe they can withstand the attack of online public opinion."

"Of course, we still have to prepare on two fronts. For the game Genshin Impact, you can ask the people in the R&D department to analyze the core gameplay of this game. We will also make a similar game and learn from them as needed."

Hearing the General Planner's words, Jack opened his mouth.

He would love to say something.

But he knew that as a company known for copying, Penguin's actions were nothing new and would not be the last.

With the status and strength of a domestic game giant, and with the backing of a powerful legal department, facing Penguin, an industry giant, any small company can only be acquired or copied, and this time is no exception.

Of course, this time, plagiarism and acquisitions go hand in hand.

Jack would like to say that there is no need for this; they can also make a game like Genshin Impact.

But...

Seeing Tony Smith's expression, he still gave up and did what the other party wanted.

Tony Smith's opinion was issued, and soon, the entire Penguin Factory started to operate in response to the rise of Genshin Impact.

Someone tried to contact Snowflake Game Studio proactively.

Someone contacted online trolls to bombard Genshin Impact's card drawing mechanism and high spending behavior.

Some people also analyzed and studied the source code of Genshin Impact.

Or rather, copied it.

...

Snowflake Games.

"Unbelievable!"

"This Penguin really doesn't care about its reputation, does it?"

In the office, the employees in charge of business operations suddenly burst out in anger, and the voice immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"What's the situation?"

"What's wrong?"

"Why did you suddenly start venting?"

The employee said: "What's the matter, someone from Penguin just called, saying that they want to buy our studio, and they even threatened us in their words!"

Having experienced the last game and the legal battle with Penguin, everyone in the studio is extremely disgusted by Penguin's plagiarism, turning around and biting the original creator, and using their massive corporate structure to bully small companies.

They thought that the conflict from the previous game was over, and in a short period of time, the two sides would not have any more interactions.

In the end, I didn't expect that their new game had just been released, and the other party came again.

Disgust is an understatement!

After listening to the words of the business operation staff, everyone in the office was ignited.

Is it really because of their huge size and lack of ethics?

They still want to buy us?!

Hearing the voices of the employees, John Doe walked out of the office: "What's the situation, why are you so upset?"

Everyone hurriedly explained to John.

"Boss, don't be fooled by Penguin!"

"We've been following you for more than three months, and we finally made this game. It must not become someone else's accomplishment!"

"Yes!"

"I'd rather stay in our small studio than be bought by Penguin to be a puppet for them!"

"Although our studio is small, we all like this working atmosphere. This is the atmosphere that games should have."

"Boss, you must not be swayed."

Everyone said.

"What are you thinking," John smiled and said. "What is Penguin, buying us? We should be buying them. If they call again, just hang up on them."

"But the small studio you just mentioned, well, our game is on the right track now, and the current manpower is not enough to maintain the next game operation. It's time to recruit a group of new employees and change to a new office environment."

Genshin Impact Games has officially started to make a profit, and a lot of money is coming in every day, so it's time to expand the company's scale.

John didn't intend for it to be just a small studio forever.

Snowflake Games...

In the future, it will also be a giant-level existence in the game industry!

"Chris, prepare for the recruitment of our company and the new office location in the past two days. It's time to expand the company."

"Good boss."

"But...."

The employee named Chris stood up and said, "Boss, our game has only been out for two days, and Penguin has already set its sights on us. I always feel that their call today is just the beginning, and there will be some unpleasant tactics coming out later."

"No need to wait; it's already here."

At this time, head of planning Alex Lee said: "Look at social media, now a group of people have emerged, saying that our card drawing mechanism is deceiving and exploitative."

Hearing this, everyone took out their mobile phones and searched for Genshin Impact-related hot words.

Sure enough, they saw a lot of posts with people leaving messages, saying that Genshin Impact's spending is too exaggerated and too serious.

It just treats the player like a fool.

A five-star character requires at least one major purchase to be drawn. Even if the character drawn may not be the one you want, it may be off-target.

Even more exaggerated, some people commented that this is a new type of gambling.

"As soon as Penguin's call came, these voices appeared on the Internet, and there is a high probability that it was the online trolls Penguin hired!"

"This Penguin looks really unscrupulous!"

"Boss, should we also hire a batch of online trolls and retaliate?"

"Wait!"

"It doesn't seem to be necessary!"

Chris suddenly said: "Look at the lower-level comments, as soon as they come out, players will defend us!"

"Um?"

"It really is!"

Everyone clicked on the comments to reply, and sure enough, many players responded below these comments.

For example, players said they are willing to spend money to support domestic games, are happy to recharge the free games, and it's none of anyone's business if they spend money for enjoyment.

"..."

"This doesn't seem to be what we imagined?"

"The players are too supportive."

John smiled: "Our game is doing well, and naturally there will be players willing to support us, but we still have to reply to these comments, otherwise we can keep them from spreading."

"In terms of card drawing, I asked our team to explain that drawing cards is completely voluntary. We did not force players to spend money, and even if they don't pay money, players can still enjoy the fun that the game should have."

"As for the one who said that our card draws are of a gambling nature, we will announce the card draw guarantee mechanism we developed earlier."

"The other party took the initiative, and we can't be indifferent."
