“Everyone, don’t push. Please line up in an orderly manner and come one by one! As there are more people trying it out, each player has a 10-minute time limit for the VR gaming pod. Please be polite …”

A few staff members were already trying their best to maintain order. There was no other way, Thunderbolt Entertainment’s booth was completely full. Those who entered the VR gaming pod didn’t want to come out, and the people outside couldn’t wait to enter, and more and more people gathered.

As a last resort, these VR gaming pods could only be used for a limited time experience. Even so, many people still felt that they had not played enough. After coming out of the gaming pods, they took a stroll outside and wanted to take advantage of the situation to get back in and play again.

There were still many players who couldn’t get in, but they all gathered around the stage and shouted at Chen Mo.

“When will Overwatch be released? ah, no, when will it be released?”

“Is it really completely free? Does that mean all VR gaming pods can be installed?”

“Chen Mo, I’m your fan, can’t you let me try it out first!”

“What about the poor who can’t afford a VR gaming pod?”

Chen Mo couldn’t play dead since the players were so enthusiastic. He answered them one by one.

“Soon, it’s already in the final optimization stage, and it can probably go online in early February. Test? No, no, no, my game doesn’t have a test, so it’s definitely a finished product. ”

“That’s right, it’s completely free. You can play as much as you want after you go online.”

“If you want to try it out, line up quickly. I can’t give you special treatment in front of so many people.”

“It’s actually fine. Everyone will be able to play the game once it’s released. There’s no need to rush it for a few days.”

“You can’t afford a VR gaming pod … Bro, let me give you a piece of sincere advice. If you can’t afford a VR gaming pod, you should save up first. Real life is more important, so let’s not keep thinking about playing games. Of course, if you really want it, you can go to Thunderbolt tabletop’s competition. There will be a free gaming pod …”

Chen Mo lived in seclusion and didn’t livestream. Other than occasionally posting on Weibo, he didn’t interact with the players, so it wasn’t easy for many people to see Chen Mo.

Now that there was a chance to chat with Chen Mo, the audience crowded over and asked questions one after another, turning the fair into a huge press conference.

……

Chen Mo was exhausted from the whole day of exhibition.

The gamers were too enthusiastic. They didn’t want to leave even though the dojo was about to close.

The exhibition went on for three days, and in these three days, Thunderbolt Entertainment’s booth became more and more popular. It became the most popular booth in the exhibition, even beating Emperor dynasty entertainment and ZEN Entertainment!

Moreover, the number of people in these three days had increased by the day. In the end, there were so many players at the entrance of the exhibition hall that they didn’t even dare to take a look.

As the convention continued to be popular, news of Chen Mo’s new game, Overwatch, quickly spread online and ignited the entire gaming industry.

……

In a designer’s chat group.

“Which one of you is at YouPlay? Has anyone tried Chen Mo’s new game?”

“You mean ‘the Overwatch’? It seems like a lot of people are talking about this game. How is it?”

“I didn’t get to play, there are too many people! But from the demo, it’s pretty good, just like Chen Mo’s usual!”

“Yes, it seems to be an FPS game with MOBA elements!”

“I heard it’s a free game.”

“Again? Did he want to replicate the success of League of Legends in VR? What great ambition!”

“But isn’t it a fact that a first-person MOBA can’t be done?!”

“This isn’t a MOBA, it’s an FPS! We definitely can’t make a VR MOBA, but an FPS with skills … Aiya, I can’t say for sure. I can only say that although there were similar ideas in the past, no one has actually made it. ”

“What’s with Chen Zhao’s speed? They’ve just finished the League of Legends World Finals, and now they’re making a new game?”

“I can only say that we don’t understand the world of the master. If I were the designer of League of Legends, I would only need to make one game for the rest of my life. Why would I need to make other games?”

“…So you’re a loser and Chen Zhao is a boss.”

“Wait, I suddenly have a bad idea. Why did Chen Mo choose this time to release a new game? Could it be for this year’s grand prize, game of the year?”

“Game of the year? No way, this game doesn’t look like the kind of game that will win the championship. ”

“But think about it, Chen Mo is going to win all the PC awards with League of Legends this year, why would he release a new game a few months earlier to compete with his own?”

“Maybe it’s the same as League of Legends, using the Spring Festival holiday for marketing? I heard that Chen Mo spent the new year in the Imperial City to promote League of Legends. ”

“It’s different now. Last year was a distribution war, and he was trying to get users for Thunderbolt gaming platform. This year? The distribution war is over, League of Legends is popular, and Thunderbolt gaming platform has gained momentum. He doesn’t have to be in such a rush. I think he’s definitely trying to fight for the annual gaming award before the Spring Festival. ”

…”Terrifying! Is this day finally here?”

……

On the forum.

“Chen Mo said that the new game, Overwatch, is completely free! It’s very likely that there’ll be a dominating competitive game like League of Legends!”

“Completely free of charge? NICE, this is Chen Mo’s style!”

“…Alright, Can Chen Zhao lose out? Why does it seem like he has a conscience?”

“How is that heartless? If it was any other game company, they would definitely buy out the game and add in the price. A VR game would be considered cheap at around six to seven hundred RMB, but Chen Mo just waived everyone’s entry fee, what is this, he’s really generous!”

“That’s right, if that’s the case, would other VR game companies be stupid? Why not make it all free? Obviously, only Chen Zhao has the confidence to do so!”

“This game is so cool! I can’t help but want to play it.”

“Chen Mo is quite ambitious!”

“I don’t think we should be blindly optimistic. The success of League of Legends on the PC side is phenomenal, and there are many factors behind it. The main reason was that there weren’t any strong competitors on PC, and MOBA games were completely new. With the right time, place, and people, League of Legends could be so successful. But there are already FPS games on VR, it’ll be too hard for Overwatch to completely dominate them!”

“It’s not up to us whether it’s difficult or not. Just be patient, I think even if Overwatch can’t reach the dominance of League of Legends on the PC side, it won’t be bad!”
