Fortnite is just too addictive; the fact that it has over three million concurrent players is a prime example.

Some people even compare Nintendo with Yusei Electronics' Takeyusei.

Recently, Youxing Electronic Entertainment has been relatively quiet, mainly releasing updated versions of various games without much innovation. It's been perceived as gradually resting on its laurels, but its fans still enjoy it.

No one can resist works like Mario, Final Fantasy, and Pokémon.

As long as it doesn't do anything particularly bad, it will always have a loyal following, something Nintendo can't catch up to at this stage.

However, if things continue to develop this way, they feel that Nintendo is qualified to challenge the dominance of Yusei Electronic Entertainment.

Some people even seemed to be deliberately stirring things up, hoping that Youxing Electronic Entertainment would take the initiative and create a few blockbuster games to dampen the new company's arrogance.

However, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has remained silent, and even their boss, Zhu Yuxing, has not been seen recently, reportedly spending some time alone with his wife.

Now that they've achieved great success, they can easily be hands-off managers and live a life of comfort and ease. Perhaps this has diminished their drive and ambition.

This has disappointed many fans of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

It seems that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment will no longer have the same highlights as in the past.

On the contrary, Surui Electronics has been very active recently.

The sudden appearance of Nintendo made Surrey Electronics feel threatened.

A game.

They reached the top with just one game.

Recently, it has consistently topped the sales charts on the Battle.net platform.

It only occasionally drops in the rankings when Grand Theft Auto V or Cyberpunk are on sale or when a new expansion is released.

Normally, Fortnite usually dominates the top spot on the leaderboard.

The prestige of being at the top of the list is self-evident.

If things continue like this, Surui Electronics is genuinely worried that it will be overtaken.

Moreover, they have the support of former billionaire Lorenzo and former CEO of Morgan Stanley.

It's not impossible that they'll make a new game console.

Therefore, the video game team at Surui Electronics worked even harder than usual, fearing that they would be overtaken and have another new competitor.

At the same time, Surui Electronics also urgently announced that it would also be developing a battle royale game.

Besides its own explosive popularity, Fortnite has also served as a guiding light for other similar games.

It turns out that battle royale games don't need such complex systems.

Simple guns, a simple health system, maybe add an armor value, but nothing else is needed.

Finally, adding a timed shrinking circle mechanism forces players to gather together and fight each other, which makes it very fun.

Adding so many unnecessary features is more likely to discourage players.

In fact, most players are just pursuing simple pleasures.

Video games being too complex is not a good thing either.

So for a period of time afterward, various companies wanted to take advantage of this trend to make a fortune from the battle royale.

They all used every trick in the book.

But as things stand, Fortnite still reigns supreme.

At this point, Myron Case couldn't sit still any longer.

This game is incredibly popular.

The game was so popular that many potential customers abandoned Mickford's electronic products because the game wasn't available on the Mickford platform.

This really hit Mickford hard; another blow and he would probably suffocate.

"We must find a way to bring Fortnite to our platform and negotiate with Nintendo again. This time, all conditions are negotiable!"

This was the highest order Myron Case gave to his men.

Thirty percent isn't enough? Sure, then we in Mikefu only need twenty percent.

If 20% isn't enough, then 10% will do.

But that's the minimum. If even 10% isn't enough, Mike will not give up. Instead, he will look for other ways to obtain Fortnite.

They offered all benefits except for revenue sharing; in short, they did everything they could to get Fortnite onto the Mike Fortnite platform as soon as possible, by any means necessary.

After ordering his men to handle the Fortnite matter, Myron Case sat in his office with a somewhat gloomy expression.

I really didn't expect that.

I never imagined a game could have such a huge impact.

According to data released by Nintendo, Fortnite has over 50 million registered users, and that number continues to grow.

The number of people online at the same time is also likely to reach four million.

This is an achievement that even Fortnite in its previous life did not reach.

The main reason is that Fortnite had an incredibly lucky start, with almost no competitors, and this Fortnite is still in the mature stage of the previous Fortnite.

It boasts a rich array of game mechanics and content.

Even if you don't like the battle royale mode, other modes are just as fun.

There's even a quirky version of Fortnite's Challenge mode, with gameplay similar to Fall Guys or Human: Fall Flat, emphasizing pure fun.

Furthermore, this mode also allows players to create their own maps, offering a wide range of customization options. Many players have already proactively added more custom levels to the game.

The modular format makes this game vibrant.

"Call the people from the game department over."

Finally, Myron Case picked up the phone and contacted his secretary to call over the head of his game department.

The split is not over yet, so the gaming division still belongs to Mickford. Other employees may be able to ignore the boss who abandoned them, but they still have to give the person in charge some face.

Not long after, the head of the game department arrived at Myron Case's office.

"Have you done any research on Fortnite?" Myron Case asked directly upon seeing that the person had arrived.

Chapter 1204: Became an undercover agent?

The head of the gaming division is now almost in no mood to chat with Myron Keyes.

He was actually one of the first to know that Nintendo was about to acquire him.

Moreover, he knew the identity of the person in charge of Nintendo in advance.

It was because he knew these things that he was so excited and did everything he could to keep all the employees from leaving. If they were short of money, he would even find a way to cover some of it himself.

Nintendo promised to make up for the unpaid salaries during this period after the acquisition.

With this guarantee, the head of the game department has completely broken ties with Mikefu.

He didn't know why Myron Case had suddenly contacted him again.

If nothing unexpected happens, their department will be completely split up in about ten days and become an independent company, almost no longer under Mike's control.

Forget it, I'll try to be as hypocritical as possible for now, act as weak as possible, and not let Myron Case see that I'm eager to leave and wait to be acquired. Nintendo hasn't given me a clear answer yet, so I need to be patient.

He paused, taken aback, when Myron Case asked him about Fortnite.

But he quickly adopted a dejected look, the kind that seemed like he was about to become a stray dog, completely indifferent to everything.

Seeing the other person's expression, Myron Case didn't say much.

He knew that the other person's discouragement was entirely due to him.

At this point, you shouldn't make the other person feel worse, as it's not good if they take an extreme stance.

"Boss, what do you want to ask about Fortnite?"

"Ahem, I don't know if you've heard anything about Fortnite possibly coming to the Mikeford platform recently?"

"I think... I vaguely remember this, but what does it have to do with me?"

Myron Case frowned slightly. Although the other party was still his subordinate, it was clear that the other party no longer cared at all.

He had no choice but to patiently ask, "From your perspective as someone working in the game industry, what do you think of the game's potential?"

"Potential? Need I say more? Information about this game is everywhere online right now."

"Yes, I know. I just can't understand it myself, so I'd like you to take a professional look at it. I hope you can explain it to me more."

The person in charge thought to himself that Myron Case was now treating him like a human being and starting to talk to him properly.

What happened to your autocratic style back then?

But now he can't say much either.

"Boss, even with my professional perspective, I can't quite describe this game. There's only one way to help you understand it better."

"What method?" Myron Case asked expectantly.

"Try it yourself. You only know what's fun about video games after you play them."

"I can't do it. There aren't many games that can interest me. You know me, the only game I've ever been interested in is Tetris."

The manager shrugged: "Well, since you've said that, boss, there's nothing I can do. It's obvious that your views on video games haven't changed in all these years."

The person in charge paused for a moment and then continued, "From the very beginning, you looked down on video games and were unwilling to take the initiative to engage with them. If you ask me, some of the reasons for our game department's failures are also because of you."

Myron Keyes' expression changed repeatedly.

He had many grievances.

However, he didn't have any good solutions for the person in front of him.

Fire them?

He may have already stopped caring, and in fact, he himself has to pay a large sum of compensation for being dismissed.

This is what it means to have nothing to lose and nothing to fear.

It's really frustrating.
