Although Left 4 Survival has not been approved and released in China, this does not mean that Left 4 Survival is not popular in China. On the contrary, the four words “Left 4 Survival” are popular in the domestic game circle, at least at this stage. Fire.

Even though domestic players may account for less than 15% of the millions of sales achieved so far, it was developed by Tianhe Network, the first game to be launched on the console platform, and it was a great success, and it also attracted attention overseas. Not a small impact.

These elements are concentrated together. Even though Tianhe Network and EA have not carried out publicity in China, the tap water publicity of countless players is enough to make Road to Survival a gust of wind.

Naturally, in such a hot situation, there will definitely be some followers.

It's just that what makes Chuhe more speechless and helpless is that he didn't expect the follower to appear so quickly, and it can even be said that it was premeditated.

Penguin added a so-called zombie mode to a gunfight game that it was originally representing, but unlike the zombies in Left 4 Dead, the models of these zombies are still more cartoon-like, including some special infected ones. Zombies, obviously borrowed from the shadow of Left 4 Survival.

On the other hand, Chuhe doesn’t know what to say about a mobile game launched by Wangyi. The name of the mobile game is Robot Crisis, which roughly changes the background of the road to survival, and the zombies and monsters become robots. .

In addition to the model and map being changed, the gameplay of the entire game and the skills of special monsters seem to have been copied directly.

Of course, Penguin and Wangyi are only two of them with the largest scale of publicity, and Chuhe can't say much about these.

This is not a unique domestic feature. In fact, including some foreign game companies, they have to go a little further, and even directly change a model, and then use it as their own game, and then log on to various platforms.

Of course, the road to survival cannot be exempted, and if it is limited to relatively strict review conditions, in fact, Wangyi and Penguin have spent a lot of effort, such as how to pass the review smoothly.

As for the report on the road to survival, Chuhe's personal tendency is not to think that it will be done by Penguin and Wangyi.

Because there is no conflict of interest, it seems that Wangyi and Penguin have 'borrowed' the idea of ​​Left 4 Survival and launched mobile games and new models.

But in fact, the potential player group is basically not a line. It seems that the road to survival is extremely popular, but because it is a console game and it has not been released in China, most of them are so-called cloud players. It is not going to buy a console, and then buy Left 4 Dead through other channels.

They will buy consoles and play Left 4 Survival. I dare not say all of them, but at least 60%, or even more, will not play games like Penguin and Wangyi.

Furthermore, Penguin and Tianhe Network are still in the honeymoon period, including Famine, Jianghu and Meteor Butterfly Sword. The cooperation between Penguin and Tianhe Network is very happy.

Although there is no overlap with Wangyi, the other party will not use this method to deal with the road to survival, because anyone with a discerning eye can see that Tianhe Network's focus on the road to survival is not at all domestic, such as Wangyi. The most he can do is to disgust the Tianhe Network, but it will make himself a show.

"Contact EA and ask their legal department to prosecute. We just need to provide the corresponding information." Chu He had a headache.

Although it may not be Wangyi and Penguin, but there is no way to make them more obvious?

Moreover, this matter is obviously business-like. If it is really a so-called player report, Tianhe Network, which has just brushed its face on the news network not long ago, and its own size, even if it needs to be purified. Regarding the relevant content of the road to survival, it will obviously be notified in advance.

But now it is doing it while informing, obviously there is a little way.

Chuhe doesn't know who it is, but the only thing he can do is to express Tianhe Network's attitude.

Although even if they sued, at most they would have to fight Tai Chi with the other party, and even if they won the lawsuit and paid a compensation of 1.8 million, it was obvious that they had already earned enough.

It is not very convenient for Tianhe Network to come forward to sue this kind of matter, and there are a lot of things to consider, so it is better for EA to come forward, not to mention that if the interests of Left 4 Dead are damaged, EA will also be a member of the loss.

"Let's make an official statement, whether it's Penguin or Wangyi, but it's estimated that their public relations department will have a hard time during this period of time." Chuhe said with a smile when he thought of something.

This matter is not big, but it is not small.

And today's Tianhe Network is not the Tianhe Network that was when the Legend of the Red Moon was created.

With several high-quality "conscience" games in succession, coupled with the effect of public relations, today's Tianhe Network can be said to be one of the best-known domestic game developers.

However, Penguin and Wangyi are not very good after thinking about it. Penguin’s word of mouth is not very good, and they have been trying to clean up in recent years;

To sum it up, these two brothers are very different. In addition, at the time when Left 4 Survival was banned, the two of them obviously borrowed from the Left 4 Survival game to launch a project. something happened.

In fact, just as Chuhe thought, at the beginning, the players were still secretly cursing the official organizations like ***.

But soon with the launch of the Wangyi and Penguin projects, the players immediately shifted their fire and began to bombard Wangyi and Penguin.

‘Very well, this is a penguin, and this is a pig factory. '

‘Why do you only copy the road to survival, hurry up and copy the rivers and lakes! What can't you copy? Can't do it? '

‘Can the game between the pig factory and the penguins be called plagiarism? This is for reference! '

Not to mention how the vast majority of players bombarded Wangyi and Penguin, in fact Chuhe didn't pay much attention to this matter, it was just disgusting.

In fact, Chuhe didn't know what to say to the project team under Penguin and Wangyi that could do such a thing.

Some other small game manufacturers in China follow the trend and imitate the road to survival. Even if they copy everything, the nausea brought to Chuhe is even better. From a business point of view, it makes sense.

However, Penguin and Wangyi are too inferior to do this kind of thing. The two companies can be regarded as the number one manufacturers in China. At least they should add something to the game if they do this kind of thing.

What's up with this shoddy style?

To be honest, if the manufacturer's logo is removed, Chuhe will really doubt whether this is a follow-up product made by a third-rate mobile game company in China.

As for cooperation, if you can do it yourself, who would like to share the profits with others?

Although the name of the four characters authorized by the original sounds good, but the other party doesn't have to do anything, and can share 20% of the project, or even more profits, with just one idea, which obviously won't make people willing to negotiate this cooperation.
