Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

There's really no need to ask this question.

Therefore, the current Spark mode is not very good for miHoYo.

The current Spark model either requires users to log in to the platform, and once on the platform, they still have to handle their own promotion and operation, while Spark only provides promotion within the platform.

This model is the same as STEAM.

Another approach is the full-stack model. Once on the platform, Spark is responsible for the server and marketing, while the developers only handle basic operations and subsequent content creation.

What miHoYo wants is to gain access to the overseas promotion of the platform, but the servers and operations will still be handled by miHoYo itself.

In this case.

Not only can they learn from Xinghuo's experience, but they also retain their own basic operational capabilities, so when the time is right in the future, they may well be able to take its place.

David was calculating with great speed and precision.

However, Lin Li replied with a smile after hearing this.

"Of course, if we don't need our servers and operations, we'll save on costs."

Lin Li was well aware of Dawei's thoughts.

It's miHoYo.

Even if a company becomes large and faces many problems, the founders still possess the courage to invest all their profits in developing Genshin Impact.

If such a company were to declare its independence in the future, it would be perfectly normal for it not to remain subservient to others for long.

But he didn't expose it.

He's like a fisherman now; as long as the fish get into the net first, all other little schemes can wait.

not to mention.

If miHoYo wants to shout that phrase in the future, they'll at least have to defeat Spark.

Once he gets close to the internet, Lin Li is not afraid of challenges.

After receiving an affirmative answer from Lin Li.

David laughed along with him.

Taking advantage of the laughter, Wang Xi, driven by a fighting spirit, casually asked a question: "President Lin, do you think there is still a market for purely PC games?"

Lin Li thought for a moment and said, "There is a market for it, especially in the next two or three years. In the global market, buy-to-play online games are a good way out."

The global popularity of buy-to-play online games started with PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG), followed by Fall Guys and Endless Blade, with similar games appearing almost every year.

The reason they became popular is quite simple.

Because it's a buy-to-play model, developers don't need to worry about making a profit, so they can focus on the gameplay.

Compared to traditional single-player games.

Online and offline modes, because of their multiplayer online attributes, allow for a lot of creative gameplay.

People discovered that once online games removed the pay-to-win feature...

It's actually quite fun.

Moreover, if this type of game runs for a few years and can't find new growth points, it can switch to free-to-play or a skin-based monetization model.

In Lin Li's view, this is actually the right approach for developing PC games.

Following this line of thought, Wang Xi's "Battle Spirit" should be developed into a buy-to-play online game rather than an online game.

Maybe things will go even more smoothly.

So he talked about this in more depth for a while.

The meeting lasted approximately 4 hours.

Normally, a simple business discussion wouldn't take this long, but the conversation somehow drifted into discussing game development.

Besides being the bosses, everyone present was also responsible for the specific game development.

I rarely have the opportunity to have in-depth exchanges with my peers.

This meeting.

A consensus was quickly reached, agreeing to have exclusive access to the Spark PC platform. Although strictly speaking, this was not an alliance, it was a collaboration.

The atmosphere is much better overall.

As we chatted, the conversation drifted to development.

If it weren't for the fact that it was 6 o'clock and time for dinner, everyone would probably still have a lot more to chat about.

Lin Li also thought the atmosphere was quite nice.

In the future, perhaps we could create a similar Spark Circle or a small salon.

Just as everyone was chatting and laughing as they walked out, Lin Li's phone rang.

I received a phone call.

Lin Li's expression instantly turned serious.

After replying to a few positive responses.

Then he hung up the phone.

Because Lin Li's expression was rather serious, everyone waited until the phone call ended and then looked at each other in inquiry.

“It’s the State Press and Publication Administration’s phone call,” Lin Liyan said succinctly.

"It seems the penguin issue has escalated. I reckon David will receive a call soon too..."

Lin Li hadn't finished speaking.

David's phone rang.

Lin Li didn't smile when he hung up the phone.

What Yu Zhong has come up with is not a good thing for the industry as a whole.

Many things.

Destruction is easy, but construction is difficult.

The trouble Yu Zhong caused was even more infuriating than in his previous life.

In the past, at least it was only at the commercial level.

But now, after the State Administration of Press and Publication led a meeting with Tencent, it has started to meet with major domestic mobile game companies.

That means.

This meeting should be discussing directional issues.

But which direction does this direction actually veer towards...?

Because of this phone call, everyone didn't even enjoy their dinner tonight, and the plan to continue discussing games after dinner was also abandoned.

After finishing their meal, everyone went home.

After seeing everyone off,

Lin Li began preparations.

He first had someone find recent documents from the propaganda department.

He then found a few more people to help him sort through these documents, and subsequently found policy documents such as the "Administrative Measures for Publications" and the "Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Games".

Lin Li understood perfectly.

Since we invited them to this meeting, we will definitely solicit their opinions.

So what Lin Li needs to do is...

The key is to define the scope of the crackdown. If something happens to the penguin, let the penguin rectify it itself. Don't drag others into it.

Also.

if you can.

Lin Li actually felt that this communication might not be a bad thing.

When dealing with officials, it's not that you're afraid of communication, it's that you're afraid of not communicating.

Watching Lin Li write the report, Su Shanshan couldn't help but remark, "I didn't expect President Lin to have a bit of a talent for being a civil servant?"

"Stop being so glib. I know you're a good writer, so come and help me polish it up."

Lin Li flipped through the documents while thinking about tomorrow.

Chapter 410 What to do if the flowers and plants are hurt?

4 month 29 day.

The meeting was scheduled for the afternoon.

Before the meeting, Lin Li called Xiong Rui.

This is only the second time the two have been in contact this year.

The last time we met, Xiong Rui was a leader at the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. Now, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he has become a member of the State Administration of Press and Publication, and is the second-in-command in charge of reviewing publication numbers.

It was evident from the Qiongzhou Conference before the Lunar New Year that Xiong Rui is a man of action.

He is also the kind of person who is willing to communicate with manufacturers.

Although the two hadn't been in contact for a long time, he immediately understood what Lin Li meant when he heard Lin Li's first words on the phone.

He sounded relaxed on the phone.

"Just do things the way they should be, you can handle it."

Judging from the other party's mindset and tone, it didn't seem as serious as he had imagined, so he gave it a slight nod.

"The main concern isn't getting splashed with mud..."

Xiong Rui understood what Lin Li was thinking.

This matter actually has nothing to do with Xinghuo.

The reason for the meeting was simply because Spark has already become a well-known name in the mobile game industry.

The people at the top of a company actually know very well how it makes money.

For a relatively down-to-earth company like Lin Li, Xiong Rui was willing to say a few more words: "President Lin, I heard that the Spark platform is progressing quite well recently?"

"It's going well. We're already leading the integration of domestic developers, and the first batch of collaborative games will begin global promotion after May Day."

When Lin Li saw that the other party suddenly mentioned the Spark Platform, he gave a brief report on his work.

Xiong Rui nodded; "The Spark platform is doing a great job as an overseas channel for domestic games. Your project has indeed attracted a lot of attention from leaders."

After saying that, Xiong Rui brought the topic back to the present, "Although there were some minor problems this time, overall the problems were exposed in a timely manner, so it is not necessarily a bad thing."

"The matter concerning Tencent was already discussed in the last separate meeting. This time, the focus will be on the review of content exported from China to overseas markets, and how to prevent similar incidents from happening again."

Lin Li perked up after hearing this.

"Overseas approval? Will this... dampen companies' enthusiasm for going global?"

"No," Xiong Rui said calmly.

"The leadership has already set the tone: as long as it's not too outrageous, it will be approved. Moreover, a policy of 'submit first, then review' will be introduced, since it's overseas."

"However, there is one thing the leaders haven't figured out."

What are the criteria for copywriting review?

"Um"

~~~

hang up the phone.

Lin Li felt more confident.

Knowing that the State Administration of Press and Publication was still committed to the strategy of exporting games overseas, they did not look for any more people.

As for the leader's doubts, he did have a solution.
