Jasper’s worries were not unwarranted.
The day after the conference, before Jasper could officially announce the establishment of his new
company, Soha made their move.
Soha made an official announcement to establish Soha Payments, which had arrived at a strategic
cooperation agreement with the three gaming companies Netsy, Ideal World, and Senator.
At the same time, the three gaming companies also released public statements.
They announced that the online games under their respective companies would integrate an online
payment system, and all players would be able to utilize the bank system and buy points cards online.
As far as the outside world was concerned, these three gaming companies appeared as though they
had taken note of how Sena managed to earn huge profits through selling points cards online for
United Legends and decided to replicate their success and enter the market as well.
On the other hand, an extremely small group of people could see the true danger lying underneath this
sliver of information.
This was a two-pronged attack across two industries.
The first attack was Soha Payment’s open challenge toward Jasper’s existing payment platform. The
second was that this represented a revolt from other online gaming companies in the country against
Sena after United Legends had blown up.
Due to the butterfly effect, Senator had actually gotten the agency rights for another exciting online
game that had been developed in Coreana.
Miracles.
This was another online game that had once blown up within the country. This was an online game
Coreana had developed to counter United Legends once they saw its hype.
In the present timeline, due to United Legends’ popularity being moved forward, Miracles also fell under
the public spotlight earlier. The game was also greatly sought out by a large group of players.
Miracles was not the only game that had appeared earlier.
So did Ideal World Co., Ltd’s representative game, Ideal World.
Even West Fantasyland had hit the markets earlier, a long-standing online game also known as a
miracle on par with World of Warcraft.
Jasper’s appearance resulted in many future well-known and outstanding online games appearing
sooner than they had in his original life. However, these premature games were no match for United
Legends, the best online game in the country which was currently at its peak.
“Mr. Laine, even though United Legends’ current player base and revenue are decreasing, we still
control at least 60% of the country’s online market share.”
Jack, who was fully presiding over Sena’s business, reported to Jasper through a video call.
Jasper nodded. He was unsurprised by the data.
One of the reasons behind United Legends’ eventual weakening in his past life was Senator’s heartless
cash-grab tactics. This resulted in explosive growth on their side.
A simple monster and player fighting game had been forcefully turned into a game of token exchange.
This money-minded operation had also sped up the game’s demise.
However, Senator did not have much of a choice at the time. They were facing the issue of overly high
protection costs, as there had been a leak in server source codes overseas, which spread to private
domestic servers.
At the same time, other online games also began to arise. Coupled with the fact that United Legends
had reached the end of its version’s lifespan, Senator had no other option but to quickly wring United
Legends dry of every dollar it was worth.
Jasper had taken precautions against this and bought ownership over United Legends. All follow-up
development and agency rights were decided by Sena themselves in order to make sure the possibility
of a leaked source code would not occur.
“We have to speed up the content creation of the version. Among Miracles, Ideal World, and West
Fantasyland, the last one will be our biggest competition.
“But that is still a 2D turn-based game and it’s unimportant to our target audience. You still have to
watch out for the other two games, especially Miracles.”
“And I heard that cheat codes have appeared as well?”
Cheat codes were essentially coding software that skilled programmers wrote to hack into the players’
accounts. When it came to online games, the most important things to look out for after private servers
were cheat codes.
When it came to danger levels, cheat codes were even more dangerous than private servers.
