Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

Some people within Surui Electronics had their doubts.

Some people began to think that the indie game developer might be planning to scam the old man Lorenzo out of his money.

Judging by his age, Lorenzo must be almost eighty years old, right?

Perhaps he was just confused for a moment? Otherwise, how could a normal person do something so outrageous? How could someone just throw money into something like that without expecting any return?

That 30% stake is probably doomed.

At this point, Surui Electronics was able to relax a little.

After all, this is indeed a bit unbelievable.

The pre-release publicity was so intense, it was as if this would be a masterpiece.

The total development cycle was only three months, which is really outrageous. It has no potential to become a top-tier masterpiece.

In fact, BambooStar doesn't expect Fortnite to have the capabilities of a top-tier masterpiece.

This game's strength lies in its ability to spread.

The game has received mixed reviews, but it continues to attract a steady stream of new players.

Then, through successive season story modes and collaborations with various brand IPs, the game's popularity has remained consistently high.

From the beginning, Zhuyouxing's vision for this game was to have influence, followed by the ability to make money, and to have enough influence to persuade everyone.

The goal was to make everyone believe that the company's acquisition of the Mikeford Games division was reasonable and that it shouldn't be acquired at an excessively high price.

Everything was just a prelude.

Chapter 1195 Server Launch

Ten thousand US dollars, ten thousand US dollars!

Dorothy could only think about the ten thousand dollars.

The content of the live stream doesn't matter.

So when Fortnite was about to launch, she was practically counting down the seconds.

At this moment, there are only a dozen or so people watching her live stream.

Why isn't Ms. Dorothy dancing today?

"I don't know, it seems like they're planning to play video games."

"Video games? What games? Are they games I'm interested in?"

"It seems to be a new game called Fortnite."

Which company made it?

"I just checked, the production company is called Nintendo, it's a small, newly founded company, but the investors are quite powerful, like Lorenzo, the former CEO of Morgan Group."

Why would Dorothy play this kind of game?

"I don't know, she was staring at the game's launch screen the whole time she started her live stream today."

In the discussion forum, the dozen or so viewers were chattering away, not quite understanding why they were so interested in this game.

This game doesn't have a large company background, and the art style is cartoonish.

This cartoon-style game isn't really that appealing to adults like them.

Of course, there are exceptions. No matter how childish the games from Yusei Electronics Entertainment may seem, they are just right for players.

For those watching the live stream, they are mainly used to watching Dorothy's live streams.

The main focus is on companionship, and that companionship can last for several years.

So they watch everything Dorothy does on her livestream.

"I'm sorry everyone, but this is an advertising contract that requires me to stream this game for at least four hours every day for a month. Please understand."

Dorothy also noticed the discussion among viewers in her comment section.

These dozen or so people are among her few loyal fans, and she doesn't want them to abandon her because of this game.

"No need to apologize, we'll watch whatever you stream."

These people were nothing special, and Dorothy immediately assured them that she would resume her daily dancing and singing performance after the four-hour task was completed.

Finally, the countdown on the Fortnite game screen ended, and all the streamers received a notification at the same time.

They then flocked into the world of Fortnite.

"Hello everyone, today I'm going to stream a new video game to you. Although I don't know how good this game is, I believe it should be a very fun game."

Meanwhile, in a live stream, a well-known game streamer was introducing the game Fortnite to his viewers with a completely expressionless face.

"Please, your advertising is terrible. If our sponsor knew you were promoting his game like this, he'd probably cancel the contract on the spot."

"Yes, yes, even if we know this game doesn't look very good, you should at least give us a more complete introduction."

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't think that through. I'll say it again now, and then we'll play the game."

The streamer's tone wasn't actually that sincere; he didn't really care about the game's quality at all.

He accepted the order because the money offered was high enough.

By broadcasting live for a month, he, a streamer who usually only earns a few hundred thousand US dollars a month, could directly receive half a million US dollars in advertising fees.

He had already advanced the money to buy a car, so he was determined to make the game a success no matter what.

But... he really couldn't muster any interest.

The game didn't look very appealing at first, and it was a genre that wasn't very popular before.

More importantly, according to the introduction, this game was developed in just a few months, and it was developed by a newly established game company.

From all perspectives, this game has no potential for success.

Honestly, he wouldn't even glance at this game if it weren't for the money.

"Okay, we've entered the game interface. Well, I have to say the game interface is quite simple. The main interface has the option to start matchmaking, and there are also a few game skin options. Let's go to the game store interface and take a look at the skins in this game."

After saying that, the streamer clicked to enter the game store interface.

"Hmm, these skins aren't expensive, generally around one to five dollars. Hmm... this chicken headgear skin is interesting, and it's only one dollar, so I'll buy one. But if you viewers are interested, please don't make impulsive purchases like I did."

At this point, people in the discussion forum also began to comment on the game.

"The graphics aren't great, so the total investment in this game probably wasn't very high."

"But I heard that a lot of money was spent on advertising, which seems like they've completely put the cart before the horse."

"After all, this game has only been in development for a few months, so it's impossible to spend more money on development."

"I have absolutely no interest in this game anymore. If I had nothing else to do, I wouldn't even want to watch this live stream."

"What a coincidence, me too, it's just for fun."

Most viewers treated this game like a spectator's play.

They simply didn't think this game had any chance of success.

They felt that this was just a gimmick used by the company in the early stages.

Many commentators have said that this game should be a stepping stone, signaling that Lorenzo also wants to join the game development industry.

Perhaps it won't be long before Morgan Stanley follows suit and becomes a world-class game developer.

Even though Lorenzo has been out of the Morgan Group CEO position for many years, many people still associate Lorenzo's actions with the Morgan Group.

These are seen as signals for the future of the Morgan Group.

After seeing such comments, players became even less interested in the game.

If it weren't for the live stream, they might not even have had the chance to watch the game.

Those ads are indeed unlikely to attract the attention of ordinary players to this game.

"Alright, I've purchased a skin. Now let's officially enter the game start screen."

The streamer clicked on the game's matchmaking option.

Then, the matching was completed in just a few seconds.

"Huh? This game's matchmaking speed is pretty fast."

"By the way, it seems there are a lot of game streamers playing right now, so it looks like we've been matched together."

Chapter 1196 I Have to Get My Revenge

On the other side, Dorothy also successfully matched and entered the game interface.

From now on, players will appear simultaneously in a temporary plaza within the game.

There is a countdown timer in the center of the game interface, and prompts to quickly enter the game keep popping up in the upper left corner.

The limit of one hundred people was reached in just ten seconds.

Dorothy enjoys playing games and had some prior experience with third-person shooter games, so she picked it up quickly.

There is actually almost no difficulty in getting started with the game.

The operation methods are the same as those in regular shooting games.

Crouch, lie down, run quickly, fire, reload, switch scopes, etc.

These require no learning curve.

Even players who have never played this type of game before can quickly understand the operation method through the prompt window.

"Wow, it's Porsccer, a top streamer with millions of followers!"

"I didn't expect this streamer to receive advertising offers? I heard that streamers like this can earn millions from advertising deals. I'm so envious."

"That makes me want to become a streamer too."

Some viewers in the live stream expressed their envy.

However, they quickly focused their attention on the game itself.
