Chapter 124 - Guest Commentary (1/2)

Chen Mo spent the next little while dealing with shipping the game overseas.

Meteorite Technology planned to release the English version first to test the waters, but under Chen Mo’s request, they have agreed to release English, French, German, Russian, Korean and other languages at the same time.

Meteorite Technology planned to release the Korean version in the second wave, but decided to move it ahead under Chen Mo’s request.

It would’ve been easy just to do translations as they could be swapped into the game and would be released. It would’ve been the same amount of time for one version compared to many versions, all was required was more translators.

However, the main workload comes in from promotion, meaning that wanting to release in multiple countries at the same time meant that the initial investment was much higher. Moreover the rules for the different markets were different, and especially when taking into account the different preferences from region to region, releasing in so many regions wasn’t a simple task.

Chen Mo was serious about his decision. Promotion? What’s that? Does this game need promoting?

Alright, wouldn’t hurt, but there’s no point in wasting money in insane amounts of advertising.

“Don’t worry, you guys just have to steal the thunder from Legion conquest, promoting the game as ‘Better than Legion Conquest in every aspect’, or ‘Masterpiece RTS game’. This would mean that any player that searches for Legion Conquest would also receive results from Warcraft,” said Chen Mo.

Meteorite Technology was shocked, isn’t that commiting a bit too hard?

“What does that expression mean, am I wrong? Isn’t the game better than Legion Conquest in every aspect? Isn’t this an RTS Masterpiece?” asked Chen Mo.

The Meteorite Technology representative nodded as it seemingly made sense.

Chen Mo was hoping to hype up the game across all regions by releasing it at the same time. As pros emerge from all the countries, they could learn from one another to speed up the expansion of the game.

Of course Chen Mo didn’t request to overlook the translations for other languages as he didn’t have the ability to do so. He didn’t understand a word of German, there would be no point in him poking his nose there.

But these didn’t matter as the most important part was that the English version was as close to the original as possible. It wouldn’t be a great gaming experience if the translations were horrible just like in the previous life.

After working hard for a few days to put the English Release in the home stretch, Chen Mo let his hands off the effort. The rest were dependent on Meteorite Technology’s promotion and advertising overseas, which they were working hard at doing so.

—Inside the experience store.—

Su Jinyu was still checking forum posts daily to gather the thoughts of the players as well as some hot topics.

“It’s already been so long, and there’s still people talking about Silent. These guys are crazy,” said Su Jinyu.

“Huh? There’s still talk about it? Didn’t Goph and Digwa surpass Silent’s rank a few days ago? There’s now three players who are in the four thousand range,” expressed Qian Kun.

Zheng Hongxi nodded, “Yeah, but it seems like Silent has left a long lasting impression. He did get his rank by destroying a bunch of high-skilled players while having straight wins. It’s on a completely different level.”

“That’s true. If Silent was still playing, they might not even reach four-thousand,” added Qian Kun.

“Have you seen the few clips of Silent’s silhouette? It just feels so familiar, his voice was familiar too,” asked Zheng Hongxi

Qian Kun said, “I’ve seen it, it’s over at that internet cafe. But it’s pretty blurry and from the back. The internet cafe was also quite noisy, so it was difficult to make out his voice, I just remember that he was full of himself.”

Su Jinyu was speechless, “Huh? You guys couldn’t tell?”

The two of them were confused, “Yeah, why? Do you recognise him? You know Silent?”

Su Jinyu facepalmed, “How sad would the manager be if he knew!”

Qian Kun had his eyes wide open, “Huh? Do you mean…”
