Chapter 444


    Kevan was pretty busy these days. After his miraculous “awakening” six yearster and returning to


    Microworks to take control once more, he’d had a never-ending stream of documents and files to look


    at, as well as a never-ending stream of meetings to attend.

    Not to mention that the new game they had been preparing for in thest two years. “Galeforce”, was


    about to go live-this was the biggest project this year, and he was required to follow up and monitor the


    progress of everything rted to it. He no longer remembered how long it had been since he’d had a


    good night’s sleep.


    When Dn called, he was in his office, sipping on a double shot espresso that bumed his throat as he


    listened to the executive producer of “Galeforce”, Peter Jones, report on the work progress.


    Kevan raised his hand to ask Peter to pause before he answered the call.


    “I asked an associate of mine in Winston Hotel, but no one knows what happened to Larissa.” Dn


    said, “But it probably isn’t rted to


    work.”


    Kevan frowned a little, his eyes narrowing. “Got” He hung up and said to Peter, “Please continue.”


    “We have prepared the promotional materials already. The original n is to make it all public on the


    1st of the next month. But – Peter


    licked his lips, clearly in some sort of dilemma. “I heard that Rubik Corporation will beunching a new


    kind of game this month, and it’s also a PC-based RPG. I’m worried that they will do the same thing


    they didst time


    The “Rubik Corporation” that Peter spoke of was a small gamingpany that was established shortly


    alter Kevan slipped into a a” six years ago. The core employees were big-shot technicians pilfered


    from the gaming departments of huge ITpanies. The legal representative of thispany was a


    woman called Sara Cook. The others may not know about her, but Kevan knew that Sara was Cody’s


    assistant for many years.


    In other words, Rubik Corporation was actually apany established by Cody. In other words, Rubik


    Corporation was actua


    was actually apany established by Cody.


    The profits gained from Inte games were extremely high, and the development threshold was not


    high either-any poorly made online game could generate tens of millions in revenue in a month during


    good times.


    In Rubik’s early days, they kept rebranding the same online game, shamelessly making a substantial


    amount of fast money for themselves. Such actions brought their brand reputation crashing down into


    the depths of the earth, Later, the other client-based games and mobile games that they developed


    also went down to dumpster fires due to giarism andck of innovation,


    But three years ago, Rubik suddenlyunched a new mobile card game, with a ying method that


    was considered the first of its kind in the country. Even though the development was not relined-it was


    actually rather crude-it still attracted a whole group of gamers and topped the downloads on mobile


    gaming tforms as well as the charts of said tforms for paid apps for several months. It could be


    described as quite a phenomenal sess.


    However, the idea for Rubik’s game was actually stolen from Microworks.


    Microworks had also been preparing for a year or so for their card game. The main framework had


    already been established, and the character design, as well as modeling, had also beenpleted.


    They had just been waiting for the post-production phase. In the end, all these had been leaked to


    Rubik by a game designer who jumped shipped from Microworks.


    Rubik rushed with everything they had and managed to develop this game in three months.


    The legal department of Microworks promptly took action, and that game designer was sent to prison.


    However, despite the giarism uproar, it did not stop Rubik from eaming big bucks due to the public’s


    weak copyright awareness.


    With Microworks, their most important project had failed instead. All the human and material resources


    invested in the project had gone to waste, and they had lost millions of dors.


    At that time. Kevan had still been in the hospital.


    When Dn told him about this, he was rather nd about it.


    “Consider it a little treat from me to Cody,” he said. “But such a thing will never happen again.”


    He did keep his word.


    After that, Microworks neverunched any new games. Their gaming department depended on


    operating top games domestically and


    card game and even did the same thing they always had before-rebranding the game over and over to


    create so-called new games.
