Game Taken Down

With only three hours remaining before Omnipotent God was automatically removed from the Infinite Game Platform, Tang Yu received an email from the platform.

Tang Yu could roughly guess the contents of this email.

However, after opening and reading it, Tang Yu was completely dumbfounded.

The Infinite Game Platform actually wanted to use their entire game company as a bargaining chip to trade for in-game assets with him.

At the same time, the email included the Infinite Games Company's annual financial report.

From annual sales to company valuation and more, everything was listed in detail, ultimately comparing it to the current exchange rate of Divine Power to real-world currency in Omnipotent God, hoping to trade for 2 billion Divine Power from Tang Yu.

After finishing the email, Tang Yu wore a look of utter confusion.

2 billion Divine Power?

I'd have to be out of my mind to give you that!

They might as well just come and rob me directly.

Clearly, the Infinite Game Platform assumed that Divine Power was just a string of data, and that as the developers, Wonder Studio could create 2 billion Divine Power simply by changing a line of code.

But the reality was that even if the players dug up every resource point on Dragon Scale Island, they might not necessarily produce 2 billion Divine Power.

Furthermore, he only took a 30% cut of the Divine Power produced by players; he had no idea how long it would take to earn 2 billion.

Even if he truly had 2 billion Divine Power, using it for game updates, unlocking Gods' Inheritance, creating game events, and so on—which of those wouldn't be more valuable than trading for an Infinite Game Platform?

What was Divine Power? It was the source of energy, a hard currency that could be used in any world.

In a technological world, it could serve as a super power source; in a cultivation world, it was purer than the highest-grade spiritual energy and better suited for cultivation; in a magical fantasy world, it could even condense into a super magic core, and so on.

Divine Power, after being converted by the Law of Unification, was the most fundamental form of all energy and held immense value.

Cash, on the other hand, could only be used in reality and had no real practical value in the grand scheme of things.

Perhaps this deal might seem like a loss for the Infinite Platform, but in Tang Yu's eyes, he would be a complete idiot to take it.

Ever since he obtained the God-Demon Space, Tang Yu's vision had long since transcended the secular world.

For him, money in reality was enough as long as it covered his needs.

If the problem of the Boundless Realm's invasion wasn't solved, all the money in the world would eventually vanish into smoke, including the entire real world.

Moreover, this deal simply wasn't worth it.

After reading the email, Tang Yu rolled his eyes and couldn't even be bothered to reply.

Infinite Games Company.

Following a board vote, Jiang Ming's proposal was unanimously passed.

They chose to use the Infinite Games Company as a bargaining chip to trade with Wonder Studio for startup capital for the Infinite Company's development within Omnipotent God.

After sending the email, the company's senior management waited quietly for Wonder Studio's reply.

In their view, this deal was essentially already done.

Although the future of the Infinite Company was far less vast than that of Omnipotent God and belonged to a sunset industry that would sooner or later become a stepping stone for Omnipotent God's development, the Infinite Game Platform was, after all, still the absolute leader in the gaming industry.

Its various channels, promotions, designs, and so on could act as a catalyst for the development of Omnipotent God.

Trading for 2 billion in-game currency was practically giving it away for free.

Time ticked by.

With only half an hour left before Omnipotent God was automatically removed, they still hadn't received a reply from Wonder Studio.

At this moment, the senior management of the Infinite Company were stunned.

Seeing time running out, they suddenly grew anxious.

Were they refusing a free handout? Had they not seen the email, or had the person in charge of Wonder Studio been kicked in the head by a donkey?

With only ten minutes left, Fang Chong chose to send the email again.

However, until Omnipotent God was removed, he never received a reply.

Ten minutes earlier.

A game notification rang continuously in the minds of all players currently in the game.

[Game Notification: Omnipotent God has been removed from the Infinite Game Platform. Please go to the "Omnipotent God Platform" to re-download the game. This game will close the Infinite Game Platform login portal in 10 minutes!]

[Game Notification: Omnipotent God has been removed from the Infinite Game Platform. Please go to the "Omnipotent God Platform" to re-download the game. This game will close the Infinite Game Platform login portal in 10 minutes!]

[Game Notification: Omnipotent God has been removed from the Infinite Game Platform. Please go to the "Omnipotent God Platform" to re-download the game. This game will close the Infinite Game Platform login portal in 10 minutes!]

The players who received the notification all appeared extremely confused.

Soon, the discussion board was flooded with players speculating and debating about Omnipotent God switching platforms.

"Holy crap, Omnipotent God switched game platforms? Does any brother know what's going on? Did something big happen?"

"Waaah, I was just about to reach that Level 2 ore deposit, but I ran out of time and got force-logged out. I'm going to download the game on the new platform first, keep mining once I'm in, and then come back to ask about the situation later!"

"No way, Omnipotent God was delisted from the Infinite Game Platform? Did Wonder Studio get bullied by the platform's unfair terms?"

"Enough talk, I'm going to download the Omnipotent God Platform now. I love Omnipotent God!"

The delisting of Omnipotent God sparked widespread discussion within the player community.

Players also offered various guesses as to why Omnipotent God would leave the Infinite Game Platform.

Among them, a speculation post published by "Don't Touch Me" caused quite an uproar among many loyal Omnipotent God fans.

[Omnipotent God delisted from Infinite Game Platform, my speculation]

Original Poster: Don't Touch Me

Content:

I was in the middle of the game when I received the news about the delisting, and I was just as confused.

At the same time, regarding why Omnipotent God was delisted from the Infinite Game Platform, I think there might be a few reasons.

(The following content is just my personal speculation, take it with a grain of salt, don't take it too seriously.)

Reason one: The number of Omnipotent God players has grown significantly in recent times, yet the game remains free to this day. This invisibly caused a loss in recharge revenue for the Infinite Game Platform. After all, the player base of the Infinite Game Platform is basically stable; if a large number of players flock to a free game, it's something the Infinite Game Platform wouldn't want to see, so they directly kicked the free-to-play Omnipotent God off the Infinite Game Platform.

Reason two: The Infinite Game Platform wanted to acquire Omnipotent God, and negotiations broke down.

The potential of this game, Omnipotent God, is obvious to all. It is definitely an epoch-making product, a work capable of overturning the entire gaming industry.

As the industry leader, the Infinite Game Platform must have discovered the potential of Omnipotent God. They might have secretly used coercion and bribery, wanting to acquire Omnipotent God to consolidate their position as the industry leader. However, Wonder Studio didn't give them face, the negotiations ultimately broke down, and Wonder Studio was forced to delist Omnipotent God.

Reason three,...

In the analysis post by the player "Don't Touch Me," Wonder Studio was portrayed as the victim, while the Infinite Game Platform was depicted as using its industry monopoly to suppress Wonder Studio in various ways, eventually forcing Wonder Studio to leave.

After reading the analysis by the player "Don't Touch Me," the Omnipotent God players were instantly enraged.

Soon, the major game alliances, clubs, and guilds in the discussion area joined forces to call on all players to declare war on the Infinite Game Platform.

An unprecedented upheaval, the likes of which the platform had never seen since its inception, was about to unfold.
