Han Xiong has something to say: As a new generation player, Han Xiong has been playing Blizzard for some years, although he is not as good as some old players. From warcraft 3 in computer class in elementary school to Diablo II in junior high school and hearthstone legend in senior high school, like most players, the game of Blizzard accompanied Han Xiong throughout his youth. It is impossible to say that Han Xiong has no feelings for Blizzard.
So when Diablo and pig farm Netease want to go out for a swim, when StarCraft stops updating, there are only two words in Han Xiong's heart-sadness. Blizzard, which was once dubbed by us as "Blizzard's products must be fine", is no longer there.
In fact, it's not a day or two since Blizzard broke up in the company management. From the disintegration of Blizzard in the north, to the exchange of blood at the top of Blizzard, and finally to the reset version of Waterloo in warcraft 3, and the recent stop of StarCraft update ...
One negative news after another about Blizzard gradually made Blizzard fall from the altar. If Han Xiong's roommate hadn't been playing hearthstone legend and warcraft 3 mentioned occasionally, even Han Xiong would have forgotten this old company, and in memory, every time there is any big news on the Internet, there is nothing good.
The news about Blizzard employees leaving to start businesses is not surprising now. It seems that these people who left did not achieve much after they left. The Torch Light series, which surprised players in the past, has now become a spurned work. This time, the employees left, and the reason why there is such a big battle is that this team has rubbed the heat of stopping the update of StarCraft.
Just when all the players thought that the real-time strategy game was out of date and my youth was over, Frost Giant Studio suddenly jumped out and said that they would revive the real-time strategy game, which gave another shot in the arm to the players who loved this type of game.
But here, Han Xiong, like everyone else, is looking forward to this new real-time strategy game, and has some other views on this new Frost Giant Studio.
As we all know, developing a game requires a lot of money. Frost Giant's behavior this time should be to invest from the market as a fund reserve for developing the game and recruit people from the market just like Black Wukong.
At present, the core members of Frost Giant Studio are nine people, all of whom are former employees of Blizzard. At present, Frost Giant Studio has received 4.7 million US dollars of venture capital (equivalent to about 31 million yuan) from fist company and investment company Bitkraft Ventures, and will expand the team members for developing games in the future.
According to Han Xiong's shallow opinion, this feat of Frost Giant challenging real-time strategy games is actually challenging the capital market. Once Frost Giant fails, there will be no studios to develop real-time strategy games for a long time to come. As a game lover, Han Xiong sincerely hopes that there will be more and more good games in the future, and here he also hopes that Frost Giant can successfully hit the blizzard.
after all, we are not who we used to be.
Blizzard is not what it used to be.
