Chapter 90 - Competition with Prizes (1/2)

After a month or so of development, Thunderbolt Tabletop finally entered the official app store as well as Emperor Dynasty Gaming Platform!

The ‘Recommended this month’ spot on the Emperor Dynasty Gaming Platform now had a banner ad for Thunderbolt Tabletop. Other than the usual art and name of the game, it also had a slogan.

“Who’s the poker king? Win virtual game pods in tournaments every week!

There were tens of millions of active users on Emperor Dynasty Gaming Platform, and up to two million concurrent users. The effects of being on the front page of Emperor Dynasty gaming platform for a month could not be understated.

Chen Mo also promoted the game on his Weibo and Thunderbolt Gaming Platform at the same time, essentially promoting the game everywhere he could.

Many fans who paid attention to this matter knew that Chen Mo was about to release a new game. But none of them thought that Chen Mo spent over a month making a tabletop game.

What a waste of the promotional spot!

The players were actively discussing the matter.

“Unbelievable, Chen Mo decided to not continue making games that scam money? That’s impossible! Did the old Chen Mo finally return?”

“What, why did you make tabletop games? There’s no future in tabletop games! You should’ve just made more pay-to-win games!”

“What a waste of the promotional spot. That spot was used to promote large VR games in the past, but Chen Mo decided to promote tabletop games! My goodness!”

“This only took a month, could it be any good?”

“Stop wasting your time on things like this! Get back to working on the sequel to Plants vs Zombies alright!”

“There are already so many tabletop games! Emperor Dynasty had already been in the business for too long, you’re far too late to the party!”

“A gaming pod every week? He really put down the money for this, but why do I feel that the money isn’t going to be well spent…”

“That’s three pods every week, they have one for all three games!”

“Fine, I’ll go take a look. I’m in need of a gaming pod anyways.”

“…previous poster, you still don’t understand Thunderbolt gaming’s antics? If it’s too good to be true, it probably is!”

“But… It’s a competition!”

There were various different types of comments.

However, most of them were drawn in by the idea of “free gaming pod every week”.

Chen Mo had also posted the rules for the tournament on his Weibo.

Thunderbolt Poker, Dou Dizhu, and Mahjong will have a competition each.

From Monday to Saturday, 10am to 10pm, there will be a competition every two hours, there will be a certain amount of tables decided by the number of players who decide to enter. Each table will have a limit of fifty to sixty people, and the priority will be given to players that haven’t played that day.

Of which, 10am, 12pm, 2pm and 4pm are all free to play, free to entire and had registrations in advance. The 6pm and 8pm rounds were paid tournaments and registrations were still available thirty minutes after the start time, and the entry fees were decided via bids using Happy Beans.

The prizes were split among the top three of each tournament, 60% for first place, 30% for second place, and 10% for third.

Free games gave a large amount of Happy Beans and a small amount of credits. The paid tournaments on the other hand would have a large amount of credits as prizes.
