" Legend of " is a game that countless people born in the 80s and 90s will never forget. For many old players, it is a memory of youth and a beautiful imprint left in time, so many people are still revisiting this game today. However, in order to make profits, some people have used various legendary private server games with nostalgic shells to appear on the Internet today. This not only ruins the game experience of loyal players, but also becomes a tool for criminals to make profits through gambling.
In 2019, Xiao Jin and several other people born in the 1980s who often played games in various legendary private game groups saw the popularity of "Legend of Hot Blood" in the game market of the post-80s and 90s generation. In order to make huge profits, they played the "Legend of Hot Blood" game without With the permission of the relevant copyright owner, I downloaded the script of the genuine Legend game online and modified it slightly. I rented a network server and privately set up the "Legend of Liangshan" online game server. It was released and operated on the Internet, attracting a large number of game players born in the 80s and 90s under the banner of nostalgia. It didn't take long for "Legend of Liangshan" to become famous and popular on the Internet. By 2021, the recharge amount of the game has reached more than 27 million yuan in just two years, and relevant personnel have made profits of more than 10 million yuan.
In such a short time and such an astonishing amount, could it be accomplished with just a small team of a few people and a copycat game? Are private servers really so profitable? This is not the case. It turns out that in 2020, in order to earn greater profits, Xiao Jin and others installed a gambling plug-in in the online private server game "Legend of Liangshan" they operate. The game currency "Happy Beans" are used as chips, and the dice ratio is used for gamblers to gamble, and the winners are paid according to a certain proportion. As soon as the gambling plug-in was launched, it brought a steady stream of high profits to the team. The amount of bets in one week alone was as high as more than 9 million yuan, and the team took a cut of more than 160,000 yuan.
High returns also mean high risks. Xiaojin and others also realized that such private server games with gambling would not last long. In addition, they had already earned enough money, so they wanted to contact the official legendary game for authorization to return to the right path. But at this time, their infringement behavior had been discovered by the genuine game company and reported to the police. Before they could resume operations, they were investigated and punished by the public security organs. In the end, Xiao Jin and others were sentenced by the court, and their illegal gains were recovered and confiscated.
private server is a network server established after obtaining the game server-side installation program without the permission of the relevant copyright owner. Most private servers are not open to the public and are not for profit, but there are situations like this case where criminals use private server games to make money, seriously infringing on the legitimate rights and interests of relevant copyright owners, and even opening casinos in private servers to make huge profits. While using games to relax our body and mind, we must also be careful to use genuine games and not indulge in them, let alone use games to do illegal and criminal things.
