In fact, the original Diablo, a rare real-time battle and amazingly rich equipment system in this environment, was enthusiastically sought after by players when e3 was just launched...≦,

At that time, it was called the most anticipated game of the year by many media.

The original plan was to be released before Christmas at the end of the year, but unfortunately, Blizzard's tradition of retardation also began.

The first work of Diablo is their first postponement.

The reason for the delay in tickets was not because of the game, but because there were problems in the preparations of Battle.com. After all, this was the first time that the game company had prepared this kind of Battle.com service system that spanned the entire United States. Blizzard was not a particularly large company at that time, and it was far from the industry giant that later, so it was impossible for it to have any experience in this area.

Therefore, it is natural that a misjudgment occurs in time.

Needless to mention Blizzard, even when Mars Entertainment first planned to build Mars War Network, it encountered great trouble. Of course, this technology at that time was far less advanced than the technology that Blizzard built later. However, what Jester wanted to build at that time was not a huge network service system spanning the entire United States, but just covering a California war network.

But even so, the network engineering elites in his company were still helpless when the problems arose.

We had to seek technical support from Oracle and HP, which is its server provider. This took a lot of effort to completely solve the problem.

Although people today have the success of Mars Entertainment, few of them can see how much the Internet is like a few years ago through the Mars War Network. It is still a strange word to everyone, and it will play a great role in their lives.

This kind of effect is almost never before since the flame was discovered.

And the game will also become completely different from now after the affix of the Internet is added.

The trump card of Jester, except for the core of Diablo's game, is not all the mainstream popular RPG games, the biggest killer is its battle network system.

Jester, who knows history, naturally knows what immeasurable role this Battle Network system played in the release of Diablo.

Almost relying on this system, Blizzard has doubled the sales of this game!

In fact, the sales of "Diablo" in the first week was not much stronger than the one from Mars Entertainment now? "Diablo" was much stronger, but their stamina was very sufficient, especially the Battle Network system used as an attraction, coupled with the temptation of the celestial system, which led to the sales of this game blowout later.

Jester believes that the Diablo in his company is much better than the original history, both in terms of quality and distribution channels. Even the Battle.com and the Ladder system. Even the fans of Mars Entertainment at this time are far from comparable to Blizzard, a small studio at that time, so there is no reason, the Diablo in his company will not be able to buy the original one.

At this point, Jester is full of confidence.

Moreover, in addition to Jester's immediate determination, in a week, he would hold a grand celebration for the development team of Diablo, he also immediately announced that the development plan for Diablo 2 will be launched immediately. After the developers of Diablo 1 ended their vacation, they will immediately join the development of Diablo 2.

Moreover, the number of people in the development team of Diablo 2 will reach an astonishing 40 people, and the development funding will also reach an astonishing level.

This is usually something that only developers with the highest contribution in those companies can obtain.

Suddenly, with the launch of this mission, many people became jealous.

However, there is no objection among the company's senior management.

Because the total sales of "Diablo 1" can reach 500,000 copies! Indeed, although it is not as much as Jest said, it is a new game, a brand new IP, and such a game can reach 500,000 sales. Then its sequel to 1 million sales is almost at least, and even if the company pays more attention to it.

Then one and a half million sales are not a very strange thing.

Even two million copies are not impossible.

In the entire Mars Entertainment, except for a few people, no one can guarantee that his game will have the hope of selling two million sets!

As long as there is no big mistake, it is destined to be able to exceed one million and is expected to be two million. It is indeed qualified to be a big team. Although a team of forty people is rare in the entire Mars Entertainment, the project review committee agreed to Jester's suggestion after repeated considerations.

This is true within Mars Entertainment. No matter who it is, even if it is Jester himself, it still needs to be reviewed. However, even if the review fails, Jester has the right to force the project to start. This is his right. However, Jester has never used this right because the people on the audit committee are senior executives of the company's developers.

Whether a game has the value of development is naturally very clear.

And Jester was also very satisfied with this review system.

In the following days, the sales of Diablo have been growing steadily, not beyond everyone's expectations. Although everyone knows that this game is difficult to reach the one million sets that Jester said, but the difficulty of 500,000 sets is still not great, which is already an amazing number.

In the first week, as expected, less than 230,000 copies were sold, more than 20,000 copies were sold than expected.

This is also expected.

However, when the second week arrived, the sales performance of this game was completely shocking.

On the first day of the second week, Diablo actually experienced a counter-increase in sales! And the growth rate was very large, almost twice the last day of the previous week! It reached a 30,000 copies!

You know, before this, Mars Entertainment had never increased its publicity, and even reduced its publicity efforts. After all, Mars Entertainment is not just this game.

Although this game performed well, I don’t know how Mars Entertainment treated him very well. (To be continued...)
