Chapter 76: Chapter 75 Copy or Not to Copy?
Tang Dagang said “Alright, I’ll provide inal series, but by itself, it doesn’t generate enough hype to bring players into the game Moreover, the lifetime of the series is li of the world
“Therefore, Chen Mo released ‘World of Azeroth’ as a supplea everyone an easier ti so that Chen Mo hasbehind that is simple It’s because I think that he already had plans for his nextthe bet! If he took the bet out of i? This obviouslyout from the start, and all he wanted was the proht into his trap!
“Since Chen Mo’s desires are so strong, his plans are entirely obvious The world of Azeroth is expansive and complete, even down to the last rune This obviously ame
“And there’s no way it would attract thatto hype it up early, and work towards representing the world step by step, until when he thinks the players’ interest in the world peaks while having sufficient capabilities, he’ll release the game in mention!”
Yan Zhenyuan nodded, “Yep, makes sense”
Qin Xiao who had their eyes on their phone the entire ti was a bit hysterical, and completely ood news for us! Chen Mo’s only a C-grade videoganer now, and there’s no way for hiame like that Therefore, we ht, we’re all allies here, you don’t need to hide it You want to copy Azeroth right?”
Tang Dagang felt attacked by that sentence, replying after a few ot his feet off the table, starting at Tang Dagang, “Let me ask you this: How can we copy? The entire world of Azeroth was e co like that, and based on the current intellectual property rights, we’d be paying huge suht back, “Of course i know that, but we don’t have to e some bits and it should be fine”
Qiu Xiao replied, “How can we change soames can be copied like that, but how can we do that for an entire fantasy world and its story? In this day and age, fans get super aggressive if the stories are in any way slightly similar, and previously there was a well known author who nearly went bankrupt fro the world and then copying a book? Do you think lawyers and judges are stupid?”
Tang Dagang refused to back down, “We have so ners who excel in screenwriting, ht?”
Qiu Xiao was speechless, “How h, it’ll be easy to tell, then what’s the point? Aren’t we digging our own graves? If we changed a lot, aren’t we just writing fro that effort in, why should we copy others? Can’t we just write a western fantasy world fro hard to find a rebuttal
Qin Xiao continued, “Moreover, don’t we all know the potential of western fantasy within China? H the overseas IP called ‘Heavenly Ring’, and ended up a couys forgotten that already?”
Tang Dagang said, “Alright, even if we exclude the idea of western fantasy, there are many mechanics that we can reference fro back to the corpse, using runes to teleport, pop-up achievements, and so on”
Qiu Xiao rolled his eyes and hit the table as he couldn’t take it anyestions like these?
“First, your design suggestions are all exclusive to western fantasy worlds, if it’s not a western fantasy world, do these mechanics make sense?
“Second, even if we tacked these on, then what? Can we a was co to back down, he replied after a fewhas no future, ould Chen Mo spend so much effort…”
Qiu Xiao said, “That’s Chen Mo Chen Mo has the entire design of Azeroth thought out, the intellectual property belongs to him What do we have? Hood, but we can’t use that
