Episode 635 UDT (10)

[(WST) UDT stock price plummets! When will there be a rebound?]

(Strategy) The previous day, UDT’s stock price closed the day with a plunge to $13.8.

This is the amount below $15 suggested by Continue Capital in its short selling report.

The biggest bad news is the boat engine released by SW Games.

Investors predicted that in the future, UDT Engine would have to compete with Boat Engine in the indie and small game market and with Surrill Engine in the large game market.

Even if the boat engine was released, there are not many places that immediately abandon the UDT engine and switch to a boat engine, but the loss of market share was a huge negative news.

Surprised by the strong opposition from the industry and the plunge in its stock price, UDT fired CEO Owen Raphael and announced that it would completely review the new rate plan.

First, it was decided to further lower the fee for sales exceeding $1 million to 2.5%, and in effect, the existing runtime fee system was abolished.

However, the majority of developers responded to UDT’s actions by saying it was too late.

A representative of an indie game company said, ‘UDT has completely lost trust in the game industry due to this incident. In order to restore this, stronger measures must be taken,’ he said, expressing distrust in UDT.

Experts predicted that it would be difficult for the stock price to rebound for some time as the market share of the game engine, which is the core of the UDT business, is shaking.

(syncopation)

Continue Capital is expected to have made a profit of approximately $8 billion through this short selling, once again demonstrating that it is a company with a dominant position in the gaming industry.

This situation, which started with a change in UDT engine rates, ended in UDT’s complete defeat.

-Continue Capital again hit the mark.

-The response from Wall Street is that it is no longer surprising.

-ㅎㄷㄷ At this point, isn’t it a prophecy rather than a short selling report?

– Haha no, they are the ones who brought it down.

-I tried to charge more and the stock price crashed.

– Perhaps they were surprised to see this, but the plan to monetize MotC OGL was immediately scrapped. I will never do it again haha

-Hey! Continue Capital did a great job again~

I remembered the first time.

At that time, trust in UDT had fallen to the bottom, but game companies and developers still had no choice but to use the UDT engine.

However, this time things were a little different with the advent of boat engines.

This is why you always have to have competition.I spoke to Trish on the phone.

[I succeeded in short selling again. Don’t you get bored if you sell short all the time?]

“What do you mean? “The items change every time.”

[Well, it might be boring if you lose, but it won’t be boring if you earn.]

“sure. “The most fun thing in the world is making money.”

That’s why I can’t stop investing.

Is that why Chairman Aaron Baker is continuing to invest instead of retiring?

I then spoke to CEO Tom Scott on the phone.

Due to this incident, Legend Games gained market share and image.

He said it as a joke.

[Looking at the UDT incident, I realized how important trust is in the industry. I think we should not raise the rates for Suril Engine carelessly.]

“Is that okay?”

[yes. The Surrill engine is used not only in games, but also in CG, movies, animation, architecture, design, VR, etc. You can make money there.]

Cerrill Engine is currently used in almost all simulation industries.

As enough money is made elsewhere, more benefits can be provided to game companies.

Really great restaurants give out more when business is good.

[We plan to use this opportunity to further increase support for indie games. So that single developers can easily promote and distribute their games.]

“good idea.”

In order to become a soccer powerhouse, investment in professional teams is important, but investment in youth soccer teams is even more important.

This also applies to games.

Some of the solo developers will later create triple-A games.

The reason he came to Ice Storm with Sunwoo was because of the release of Mephisto 5.

However, something bigger than the game release happened one after another.

“From neo-Nazis to UDITs. “It was a series of spectacular events.”

In the meantime, Sunwoo had to stay here and take care of SW Games’ work.

Even if you are connected to the cloud and can work comfortably, there is nothing you can do about the time difference.

Since I work during the day and at night, my child’s condition is unpredictable.

Seonwoo let out a long sigh.

“I guess I can survive now.”

I patted Sunwoo on the shoulder.

“great job.”

But not everything is over.

Ice Storm has another important project coming up.

This is the video version of World of Warlords.

Prisoner was to produce the film, and Rod Söderlund was to direct it.

He is said to be quite famous among movie enthusiasts as a former B-level horror film director.

“Will the drama be good?”

“well.”

Creating a World of Warlord drama was something that had never happened in the first episode.

So I don’t know if it will work out or not.

Fortunately, the production environment has greatly improved thanks to Suril Screen, so I think it will work out somehow.

“Whether it goes well or fails, you have to do this no matter what.”

What do you do to earn money?

You should use it to do what you want to do.

Sunwoo nodded at my words.

“then. As a fan, I can’t stand the World of Warlords video adaptation.”

There is work that needs to be done to make the drama successful.

I told Sunwoo.

“I have somewhere to go with you.”

“where?”

“To recruit actors.”

* * *

LA Bel Air.

It is adjacent to Hollywood and is called one of LA’s three wealthiest villages, along with Beverly Hills and Holmby Hills.

We arrived at a mansion here.

The muscular giant, over 2 meters tall, welcomed us with open arms.

“haha! Welcome to my house!”

His name is Corey Duncan.

He is a top actor who used to be a professional wrestler.

Corey Duncan is one of the top three most expensive actors in Hollywood.

As such, his mansion was luxurious itself.

It has 10 bedrooms, 3 kitchens, 5 bars, a swimming pool, a movie theater, a study, a bomb shelter, and even a helicopter pad.

Looking at things like this, I think rich Koreans live too frugally.

“It’s been a while, Corey.”

“Welcome.”

He held my hand tightly with a hand the size of a pot lid.

Seonwoo bowed his head.

“hello.”

“oh! Nice to meet you.”

The two exchanged greetings once during the Ice Storm party.

“You two did something big again this time.”

“Are you talking about Yuditi?”

At my question, he grinned and shook his head.

“More than that, I was more impressed by the fact that they defeated the neo-Nazis. “I clapped and cheered.”

We went to the gym inside his house.

The reason is because he said today was exercise day, so we decided to exercise together.

The biggest feature of this luxury home is the home gym that Corey Duncan designed himself.

It is said that he always works out here on his days off, on days he meets friends he works out here with his friends, and on days he meets business partners he works out here with his business partners.

In the end, it means that you exercise no matter who you meet.

The biggest advantage of working out here is that you can receive guidance from Corey Duncan.

Therefore, many people are proud of being invited to his home gym and verify this on social media.

For reference, it is said that when filming, he carries around a trailer equipped with exercise equipment and works out there.

Only at this level can he become the idol of Hellchang(?) around the world.

“Do you remember going to the gym in Busan back then?”

“then. I remember. I was moved by the passion of the Korean fitness people I met there. “I thought Korea was a country that didn’t do much exercise, but it turned out that it wasn’t normal for everyone.”

“There Helcha… … No, do you know that it has become a popular spot for fitness enthusiasts?”

It is said that they put a picture of Corey Duncan on the sign and play a lot of videos from that time on the TV in the gym.

Corey said happily.

“okay? “I guess I’ll have to go again sometime.”

While we were talking, we arrived at the home gym behind the house.

It was an incredible size for a home gym, and was equipped with dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells, racks, and all kinds of machines.

Another customer came inside first.

A blonde woman with pale white skin who was about 170 cm tall looked at me and shouted with a happy expression on her face.

“uh! Miru!”

“It’s been a while, Jane.”

“I heard you’re in LA, but what’s going on here?”

“I came to play.”

We exchanged warm greetings.

Her name is Jane Silverstein.

He is a teen movie star whose stock is rising in Hollywood these days.

As expected, this is the first time since the last Ice Storm party.

Perhaps because she came to exercise, her outfit consisted of leggings and a bra top. Her shoulders and abs were on display, and her long hair was tied up in a ponytail.

Next to her were two women.

One is a black woman and the other is a tanned, brown-haired white woman.

“They are my friends. “Let me introduce you.”

Emma Mills and Jennifer Kinema.

Although neither of them are top stars, they are quite well-known actors.

As expected, she wore leggings and short pants that emphasized her body.

Hmm, I don’t know where to put my eyes.

In times like this, it can be strange to avoid eye contact for no reason.

It is natural to wear a swimsuit when swimming and sportswear when exercising.

These days, it’s natural to wear leggings and walk around the house outside of the house, as it’s a one-mile fashion.

So instead of looking away, I confidently faced the other person.

This is also the same for Sunwoo.

As expected, he is my friend.

I said, patting Sunwoo’s side.

“You buy food later.”

“uh. “I’ll buy beef.”

I introduced myself first.

“It’s called Hanmiru. “I work at Continue Capital.”

Then the two people were surprised.

“Continue Capital?”

“ah! “I heard about it from Jane.”

Perhaps because they are all actors, their reactions are good.

Next, Sunwoo also introduced himself.

“My name is Seonwoo Kang.”

The two were surprised again.

“Are you Kang Seon-woo, CEO of SW Games?”

“Oh! “Do you know me?”

Emma Mills nodded to Sunwoo’s question.

“sure. Of course I know. “I’m having a lot of fun with the game you made.”

Jennifer Kinema also said:

“I’m a fan!”

“Haha, thank you.”

Sunwoo’s face became pale.

Even Hollywood stars know this, so I think my friend has truly become a star developer.

Seeing my friend doing well makes me feel a little sick to my stomach… … .

Corey said, clapping his hands.

“ruler! “Then let’s start exercising.”

I never thought I would work out with Hollywood actresses in my life.

I think it was a good idea to come back.
