Pehea i mālama ʻia ai nā pāʻani ʻo Vivendi e World of Warcraft

ʻO ka hui o nā wikiō wikiō o ka Vivendi, he ʻoihana deficitary ia no ka hui Farani o ka pāpāho, e leʻaleʻa nei i kēia manawa ʻo kekahi o nā palena nui loa o ka ʻoihana mahalo i kahi pāʻani: World of Warcraft.

Ua hōʻuluʻulu ka honua o ka pāʻani warcraft ma mua o 10 miliona mau mea hoʻohana mai kona hoʻouka ʻia ʻana i 2004 a ua ʻōlelo ka pelekikena o ka Vivendi Games, ʻo Rene Penisson, ua hana ʻo ia i mākeke hou no ka ʻoihana a me ka ʻoihana holoʻokoʻa. ‘Ke manaʻoʻiʻo nei wau e wehe ana kahi mākeke nui’, wahi a Penisson i ka Reuters, i ka nīnauele ʻana ma hope o ka hōʻike ʻana i nā hopena makahiki o ka hui. ‘ke hoʻololi nei ia i ke ala e pāʻani ai nā poʻe i nā wikiō wikiō.’

ʻO ka hoʻokūkū Palani o ka Vivendi, Infogrames, ka mea e kaohi ana i ka Atari ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, i hōʻoia i kēia mahina ʻo nā pāʻani pūnaewele ka ʻenekini o ka ulu ʻana o ka ʻoihana a e haku i hoʻokahi lumi o nā pāʻani āpau o ka ʻoihana i loko o ʻekolu mau makahiki. ʻO World of Warcraft kahi pāʻani kahi e hana ai nā mea hoʻohana i mau hoaaloha a me nā ʻenemi i loko o kahi honua uila i hoʻokumu ʻia e nā druids, nā goblins a me nā fairies, a loaʻa i kekahi mau manawa kona ʻuhane-māhoe i ke ola maoli. I ka hala ʻana o ka makahiki, ua ʻoi aku ka pākī o ka hoʻonui ‘The Burning Crusade’ i nā mea kūʻai aku a ua kali ʻo Vivendi e like ka like me ka pūʻolo no ka pāʻani, ‘Wrath of the Lich King’, e hoʻouka ʻia ia i ke kau o kēia makahiki .

Ma waena o 2003 a me 2007, ua pālua ka pāʻani ʻana o ka Vivendi Games ma mua o 1 biliona kālā (1,52 biliona kālā) a hoʻololi i kahi pohō hana ma kahi o 200 miliona euro i loaʻa kālā o 181 miliona. ʻO ‘World of Warcraft ka mea nui i hoʻololi i nā pāʻani Vivendi’, i ʻōlelo ʻo Penisson. Inā ʻaʻohe inoa poʻokela ʻo ka Vivendi Games, ʻaʻole loaʻa i ka ʻoihana ke aloha o ka Activision, ka mea hana ma hope o nā kūleʻa ʻo ‘Guitar Hero’ a ʻo ka hui Farani i pani i kahi hui o 18 biliona kālā i Kekemapa o ka hala ka makahiki, wahi a Penisson. E loaʻa nā pāʻani ʻo Vivendi ma waena o 52 68 pakeneka o ka hui i ʻae ʻia ʻo Activision Blizzard, e like me ka hopena o nā hāʻawi o ka hana.

No ka makahiki 2009, ua ʻae nā pāʻani Vivendi i ka helu 4,3 biliona kālā, ka loaʻa kālā 1,1 biliona kālā.

ʻO Penisson ka luna o ka hui hou. ‘ʻo ka hui pū ʻana o nā hui ʻelua e hana i kahi hui bonanza e pili ana i ka waihona o nā huahana a me ka hiki ke hoʻomohala’, i ʻōlelo ʻia.
