Chapter 466
"Mr. Li, don't worry, Nexon Co., Ltd. and Shanda Group can't sue us!" Ma Huateng smiled and said with a very firm tone.
Li Zetian was startled, this... is indeed very confident! !
No wonder Tencent in the previous life copied countless things, but no company can do anything to Tencent...
"Hmm~~~That's good!"
The lawsuit between Shanda Group and Tencent is already in full swing.
Plaintiff: Nexon Co., Ltd. and Shanda Group.
Defendant: Tencent Technology (China) Company.
Court of first instance: BJ City No. 1 Intermediate People's Court.
Nexon Co., Ltd. believes that QQ Hall has plagiarized the BNB/Bubble Hall game in many aspects such as game form, content, art editing, etc., infringed the plaintiff's copyright in the game's text works, art works, operation methods and other works, and damaged the game. The plaintiff’s interests in China!
Some time later, Ma Huateng called again and briefly introduced the outcome of the lawsuit.
Ma Huateng smiled and said: "Mr. Li, we won the lawsuit. The court dismissed the plaintiff's lawsuit! After hearing the case, the court held that,"
"First, the communities/channels that players can choose in the game may be player information, prop names, etc. The plaintiff does not own the copyright to this content."
"Second, the art works in the actual combat scenes of the two games are not similar as a whole. Among them, 'laughing to express victory and crying to express failure' belong to the category of ideas. As long as the plaintiff and defendant express themselves differently, it will not be regarded as for copyright infringement."
"Third, QQ Hall and Bubble Hall, apart from sharing the word 'Tang', are not identical or similar in pronunciation, glyph or meaning. Game players will not think that the two share the word 'Tang'." "The word confuses the two."
666, Li Zetian couldn't help but click 100 likes in his heart. Tencent's ability to exploit loopholes is really awesome, but if this were left in the United States, I'm afraid it would be a surefire way to lose...
Nexon Co., Ltd. and Shanda Group are furious. Such obvious plagiarism is not plagiarism? ? ? Is there any more royal method? Is there any law anymore?
However, there are no eggs.
Tencent won this lawsuit.
Plagiarism is a technical job, and Tencent is very good at it, so Nexon Co., Ltd. and Shanda Group deserved to lose!
Now that the lawsuit is over, Li Zetian will no longer interfere.
"World of Warcraft has been released in China for a while. How has the response been?" Li Zetian asked.
When he mentioned "World of Warcraft", Ma Huateng immediately became excited.
"Mr. Li, "World of Warcraft" is extremely popular. In addition, it is free, and it is fully promoted by Tencent and Honor chain Internet cafes. Therefore, on the first day of the game's release, more than 800,000 people registered game accounts! Ten As of today, there are more than 5 million registered players, and the highest number of online players is as high as 1.25 million!"
"After the computers in the Honor chain Internet cafes were updated, it seemed that the quality had improved, so the Internet fee also increased. It used to be 2 yuan an hour, but now it is 2.5 yuan an hour. But even so, the Honor Internet cafes are still full of people. Business is so good! Many people don’t have machines to play, so they just stand back and watch others!”
"I believe that as word of mouth grows, more and more players will play "World of Warcraft"! In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the computers in many Internet cafes in China cannot run "World of Warcraft", there would be even more players now!! !”
Through Ma Huateng's words, Li Zetian had a clear understanding of the popularity of "World of Warcraft" in China.
"How many players are willing to pay for the props?" Li Zetian asked.
"There are currently only 30,000 to 40,000 people, and the total sales are less than 2 million yuan. However, the game has just begun. I believe that after they become completely obsessed with "World of Warcraft", more people will be willing to pay!"
Many online games do not survive for more than one year, but "World of Warcraft" is definitely a "longevity" game and was still quite popular in 2016!
The game world view of "World of Warcraft" is quite complete, and it has built a huge story background in which almost every element in real life is connected. The charm of its game lies in its diversity and strong player interaction. The more you play, the more you play. I like it more later. Moreover, "World of Warcraft" has almost no hooks, and it can be called a masterpiece in the gaming industry! !
Li Zetian has more understanding and confidence in "World of Warcraft" than Ma Huateng. There is no need to rush to make money.

Early in the morning, several people came outside an Internet cafe in Shenzhen. They walked into the store and asked loudly: "Boss, can you play "World of Warcraft" in your Internet cafe?"
The cashier girl at the front desk was so embarrassed that she didn’t know what to say. Yes, the computers in their Internet cafe are very poorly configured. They are all several years old. They definitely cannot play "World of Warcraft"...
A young man said impatiently: "These computers look rubbish at first glance. They definitely can't play "World of Warcraft". Brothers, let's go, let's go to the Honor chain Internet cafe! Go there early, maybe you can still have a chance!"
"Well, that's right, let's go then!"
In the blink of an eye, several people left the Internet cafe immediately.
The Internet cafe cashier shook her head and said: "In the past few days, hundreds of people have named themselves to play "World of Warcraft", but the computer really can't be moved, and the business is wasted..."
Another cashier nodded and said: "Yes, the business of the Internet cafe has been bleak recently. It used to be full, but now it is less than half. I heard that "World of Warcraft" is super popular. Not only is the game fun, but the graphics of the game are unparalleled." , so it requires a high-configuration computer to run it! In addition, this game is still a free game. Not to mention that "Legend of Blood" and "World of Legend" are not as fun as "World of Warcraft", the key thing that makes many players unhappy is that , "Legend of Hot Blood" and "World of Legend" are both card-based games, so since the release of "World of Warcraft", the number of players in "Legend of Hot Blood" and "World of Legend" has dropped sharply!"
"Yes, free games are so classic and fun, who would play paid games!"
"In my opinion, we still recommend that the boss buy a batch of high-configuration computers. Otherwise, how can we continue to do this business?"
"Um."
…
"World of Warcraft" is a big hit, and those Internet cafes with garbage computer configurations are doing a miserable business!
Countless internet cafe owners are so anxious that they can’t wait to raise their eyebrows...
Computer orders from Lenovo and Mango Computer Company are coming in like snowflakes.
Fortunately, Li Zetian had already informed Lenovo and Mango Computer Company, asking them to go all out to produce computers. Even if they cannot be sold temporarily, they can still put them in the warehouse first. There is sufficient supply now, and as soon as an order comes in, it can be shipped immediately!
From June to mid-July, Lenovo and Mango Computer sold a total of 550,000 computers, and sales are expected to continue to increase in August and September.
