292: Section 292

Therefore, the comments under this trending topic increased by over a million in a short period.

“Holy crap, is this for real? PC MOBA and mobile MOBA are completely different. The difficulty of developing a large-scale PC game is not comparable to a few mobile apps.”

“Interesting. As expected of Junzi Group, their decisions always far exceed my expectations.”

“League of Legends? What a terrible name. It clearly won’t become popular.”

“A PC MOBA? Good heavens, you’re choosing to directly confront Dota. Do you know how popular Dota is globally right now, and how many players it has?”

“Wei Corporation’s capabilities in gaming are not something Penguin can compare to. Penguin is at most a game distributor, while Wei Corporation has genuinely developed many large-scale hit games.”

“Is this why you didn’t enter the shared bike industry? So you were focusing your main efforts on PC games. I wish you success.”

Regardless.

Junzi Group’s official announcement indeed brought a considerable amount of attention to this brand-new game from the very beginning.

However, this terrifying popularity was, for now, only domestic.

Other countries overseas, not knowing Junzi Group’s previous achievements, were not too keen on this suddenly emerging game studio.

There weren’t many overseas players paying attention to Riot’s social media accounts either.

After all, for overseas players,

their gaming environment and market were not comparable to Yan Country’s.

Almost every so often, various large-scale PC games would appear, with an incredibly rich variety.

For such a game company that had no previous achievements and had just been established, almost all overseas players were not optimistic.

After all, what this brand-new game company was preparing to challenge was a giant in the gaming industry: Wei Corporation.

After Wei Corporation acquired the copyright to the oldest version of Dota from Bloodstorm Company and released the new Dota, it almost immediately became the most popular game globally, bar none.

A game studio established in a country that had not developed any globally influential PC games, and with no prior achievements, was going to challenge the most popular game in the world today.

No matter how you looked at it,

there was almost no possibility of success.

Although in the subsequent period, someone informed overseas game players about Junzi Group’s achievements, mentioning that the currently very popular TikTok was also developed by this group.

But for this Riot studio, no overseas players were optimistic.

Even in Yan Country, not many game players believed that League of Legends could challenge Dota’s influence.

The difference between the two was indeed too great.

However.

Although many voices from outside were not optimistic about this game,

inside Junzi Group, there was no influence from the external discussions. Under Wang Mo’s leadership, the development of League of Legends was still progressing steadily.

At the same time.

After Junzi Group’s latest information appeared,

many companies entering the shared bike industry couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Originally, many other internet companies were afraid that Junzi Group would suddenly enter the shared bike industry, and then they would face another powerful opponent.

So, at first, although they coveted this new field, many internet companies did not make a move.

But from the current perspective,

Junzi Group’s focus was on the newly established game studio.

So, many other companies with ideas couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief and prepare to give it a try.

Even Old Ma.

After learning this information, he also relaxed a lot.

Once it was confirmed that Wang Mo would not make a move and Hello Bike’s scale was too small to have an impact, Old Ma’s remaining opponent was essentially only Little Ma’s Penguin Group.

For Little Ma,

he almost had the same idea.

However.

Because Penguin Group also had a huge market share in the gaming industry, he also did not want the influence of Dota, which he distributed, to weaken.

Therefore.

The moment he saw Junzi Group’s information,

Little Ma dialed an overseas number.

“Mr. Ma, you don’t need to emphasize it again. I also know about the existence of the company you are talking about.”

“But please believe me.”

“Dota is already the best MOBA game on this planet, bar none.”

“This person will not have any impact on Dota.”

“Don’t worry.”

After speaking.

The other party ignored Little Ma and hung up the phone directly.

And the other party was Ji Pang, the current owner of Wei Corporation.

He did not pay any attention to this upcoming opponent at all. In his opinion, this so-called League of Legends would, like all previous games that challenged Dota, die without a burial place.

Seeing that the other party did not take Junzi Group and Wang Mo seriously, Little Ma did not say anything more.

Although he also didn’t believe that any game could challenge Dota’s position.

But as a partner, he still had to make that call.

And as the existence of League of Legends was officially announced, and the game entered a formal and lengthy development phase,

the attention of countless internet users in Yan Country

returned to shared bikes.

Ten days later.

The shared bikes from Penguin Group and Ali Group finally began to be deployed in Yan Country!

Chapter 217: Hello Bike’s Counterattack, Rumors Begin to Spread!

Since Penguin and Ali Group were not concerned about Hello Bike’s existence,

the pace of both companies was quite slow.

Therefore.

Ten days after Junzi Group announced the establishment of Riot studio, they launched their own shared bikes.

At this point in time,

Hello Bike had already appeared in half of Yan Country’s cities and towns.

If this were a large company’s shared bike, then Penguin and Ali would have already panicked by now.

But the key was that

Hello Company was just a small company.

For such small companies, the faster they developed, the larger and more dangerous the internal cracks would become. Such small companies were unable to support a shared bike market that truly faced a national user base.

And at this time,

besides Hello, there were already several other types of shared bikes on the market.

With Ali and Penguin officially entering the market,

the types of shared bikes currently available in Yan Country had reached a considerable level.

They appeared in some cities, and one could see many colorful shared bikes on the streets.

But due to Hello’s early layout and user habits,

Hello Bike’s market share still exceeded 90%.

However.

This number, in the eyes of many internet users, would not last much longer.

Because Penguin and Ali’s shared bikes, on the day of their launch, directly announced deposit-free riding!

Penguin Bike could be ridden deposit-free directly by scanning a QQ code, and Ali Bike could also be ridden by scanning a Blue Wallet code, with deposit-free riding also available for those with a high enough credit score.

This scheme,

for other shared bikes that required a deposit to ride, was almost a fatal blow.

Therefore.
