The appearance of Ma Ge stirred up another wave of excitement and cheers.
Fortunately, everyone knew this was a gaming competition, so the cheers didn't last long.
On stage, Wang Han skillfully controlled the rhythm. As the audience's cheers began to fade, he addressed Li Hong in the crowd, saying, "Mr. Li, as the chairman of Fist Game, could you come up and share your thoughts on this game with us?"
Li Hong accepted the invitation and stepped onto the stage. Amidst the applause, he calmly stated, "Actually, Goddess Alliance was quite an unexpected product at first. I initially worked in the film industry, with 'I Am Red Riding Hood, I Love the Big Bad Wolf' being one of my representative works."
"Wow!"
Li Hong's revelation sent the crowd into a frenzy. Few knew that there was such a connection between Fist Game and Sweet Potato Films.
"At that time, we made quite a bit of money from movies. We thought about investing in other industries, and it just so happened that I met Mark, who is now the general manager of Fist Game. They had a mature idea but lacked the funding to kickstart the project.
So, rather than colluding inappropriately, we hit it off immediately. That's how we established what later became Fist Game. Mark's idea is what you see today as Goddess Alliance," Li Hong explained with a smile.
The true reason behind the emergence of Goddess Alliance was something that absolutely could not be revealed. To cover up the truth, Li Hong had no choice but to spin a tale.
Fortunately, his explanation was reasonable enough that no one in the audience could find fault with it.
"Yes, as Mr. Li mentioned, this really is an unexpected product. Good Mr. Li, we've covered how Goddess Alliance came to be, but I have one question for you. What do you think about the vast professional circle surrounding Goddess Alliance?" Wang Han continued.
This interview had been prearranged to provide an explanation for those who were unfamiliar with the topic.
Li Hong nodded and said, "The professional circle of Goddess Alliance? Well, there's nothing particularly good about it in my view. Goddess Alliance is different from all other games. It has expansiveness, competitiveness, and entertainment value. It's not your traditional boring online game filled with mindless fighting or a cliché script of leveling up and monster hunting; rather, it's an expansion and exploration within the gaming world."
At this point, Li Hong took a moment to rest before continuing, "The emergence of Goddess Alliance is a reform in the traditional gaming industry. We have provided players with an alternative choice, and this choice has been well received by players. I believe we have succeeded."
Piao Duan Diao pondered for a moment and asked, "Mr. Li, do you mean that Goddess Alliance will be an unprecedented game?"
"Yes."
Li Hong emphasized again, "Goddess Alliance is destined to be a work that surpasses previous games. This can be seen from the grand Opening Match and the nearly three hundred million dollar Prize Pool."
"This is not just me boasting; it is indeed the truth."
After Li Hong finished speaking, there was a silence in the audience. Everyone was stunned, completely unprepared for Li Hong to make such remarks under the spotlight.
The success of Goddess Alliance was not unknown to the crowd. However, with Li Hong's statement, wasn't he essentially slapping the faces of other gaming companies? It was akin to saying to other game companies that everything they produced was garbage.
On various streaming platforms online, excited viewers flooded the chat with their enthusiasm.
"Li Hong is right; Goddess Alliance is indeed stronger than other games."
"Other games: You can only get strong by spending money! Goddess Alliance: Even if you spend money, you're still a novice!"
"I know spending money won't make me strong, but I still couldn't help but throw in a hundred bucks!"
"Hahaha, this is one aspect of what makes Goddess Alliance so powerful."
"……"
In the Blue Star Game Industry, development has not lagged behind that of the internet sector.
However, for reasons unknown, after all these years, these game companies still stick to the same old formula.
Lottery draws, first-time recharge bonuses, and pay-to-win tactics!
This kind of game model isn't necessarily bad. At least in terms of generating profits for the game companies, it has proven effective.
But when it comes to creating critically acclaimed titles, those are few and far between. After all, in such a gaming environment, even the best games can be harshly criticized by players.
Goddess Alliance was born out of this very backdrop.
With its unique tower-pushing gameplay and satisfying recharge options, it has attracted many players. What is most remarkable is that Goddess Alliance achieved something that no other online game could: the best balance between monetization and gameplay fairness.
Whales can no longer dominate the game, but they still have plenty of motivation to spend money.
Various skins serve as powerful incentives for players to open their wallets. When they purchase skins, they don’t feel like their money was wasted. Seeing themselves with skins that others lack brings them an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
Meanwhile, casual players can also find enjoyment in the game's balance. At least in Goddess Alliance, even if a whale ranks first in the region, if their skills are lacking, they can still be outplayed by others.
This remarkable balance is what ultimately propelled Goddess Alliance to global popularity. As for claims about attractive graphics, appealing characters, or innovative battle modes—those are just distractions.
Players have sharp eyes; they know which games are good and which are bad. Once they've played a game, they always have a mental scale to judge it.
Therefore, even if Li Hong feels proud, no one would think he is wrong. The success of Goddess Alliance truly deserves such acclaim.
"Alright, I believe everyone knows what the Goddess Alliance means to Mr. Li. Now, let's give a round of applause as we welcome back Mr. Li. In just a moment, the LPL League Opening Match between IG and Penguin Entertainment will begin!" Wang Han skillfully shifted the topic, directing attention to the upcoming match.
Amidst the applause, Li Hong slowly returned to his seat.
He called back Loli from beside Ma Ge, gently rubbing her radiant smiling face, which lifted Li Hong's spirits considerably.
"Be honest with me, how long can the Goddess Alliance stay popular?" Ma Ge leaned in and asked.
While others had picked up on Li Hong's words about the achievements of the Goddess Alliance and its impressive player base, only Ma Ge sensed something amiss. As an industry insider, he knew that no game remains eternally popular. Even if this game had an outstanding model, it could only delay its decline. The implication of Li Hong's words was clear: the Goddess Alliance was already close to its peak, and now it was a matter of how many years it could maintain that peak status.
This thought sent a chill down Ma Ge's spine; he had just invested in Riot Games. What would happen if it started to decline?
