Chapter 92 - Burning Money (1/2)

As the release of Thunderbolt Tabletop had given Emperor Dynasty Entertainment a massive headache, the Chairman of Fantasy Gaming Platform, Ding Xing was also highly anxious.

Fantasy Gaming Platform was also a big distribution in China, but they weren’t as big into development as Emperor Dynasty Entertainment or Zen Entertainment.

Fantasy Gaming Platform placed huge emphasis on tabletop games, and was also a huge part in growing their player base. Understandably, Ding Xing was shocked when Thunderbolt Tabletop was released.

What is this?

Ding Xing felt that he was caught between the crossfire. Why was he caught between Chen Mo taking on the titans of Emperor Dynasty Entertainment.

And Chen Mo actually used the promotional spot on Emperor Dynasty Entertainment to promote his own tabletop games?

Emperor Dynasty Entertainment too, why did they actually promote it?

Aren’t they giving him the shovel to dig their own grave?

Chen Mo is giving away gaming pods through a tournament too? What a barbaric way to do things!

The most infuriating thing was that the players are actually falling for it?

What is the meaning of this!

Ever since Thunderbolt Tabletop went live, the daily active users for Fantasy Tabletop had dropped by tens of thousands, of course Ding Xin was worried.

Ding Xing also wondered how he was caught in the crossfire when it was clearly between Emperor Dynasty Entertainment and Chen Mo.

Ding Xing was now in the same situation as Lin Chaoxu, he wanted to retaliate, but what could he do? His games didn’t have a tournament mode at all!

Lucky draws? It wouldn’t work well! Even if they had to throw money at it to fix the problem, it wouldn’t fix the root of the problem!

However, even if it was in vain, he had to do something. If nothing was done, the players would continue falling, and before long, all of the users of Fantasy Gaming Platform would be gone.

Ding Xing had to bite the bullet, “We are also giving out gaming pods! Everyone will be working overtime to make a tournament mode as well!”

Chem Mo’s actions had stirred waves within the tabletop games community. There were countless video game designers working overtime just to make a tournament mode. If Chen Mo’s hate meter could level up, it probably would’ve gone up by three levels in one week.

However, the fans that were waiting for drama finally got what they asked for. Around four tabletop games started giving out prizes, and many of them started to log into multiple accounts to try and have a chance at the lucky draws.

However, the efforts by the other games are largely meaningless, as the tabletop games that use lucky draw systems didn’t require the player to pay attention. It was only because Thunderbolt Tabletop had a tournament mode that players were inclined to grind out in Thunderbolt Tabletop for credits to increase their placing on the leaderboard.

Sunday.

Dou Dizhu, Mahjong as well as Thunderbolt Poker within Thunderbolt Tabletop had started their finals round. After an hour of exciting gameplay, the first three places of all three games finally emerged.

Chen Mo also had his eyes on the matter, livestreaming the entire competition on Weibo, and released the winners at the end of it as well. He also contacted the winners as soon as possible to send out the prizes as early as possible.

When the competition finished, more focus was drawn to the game, and now more players had their eyes on future tournaments.

“I was shaking the entire lifestream. These final contestants are insane! I didn’t know there were this many pros in these tabletop games…”
