It was only September 2008. Riot Games' *League of Legends* was still more than a year away from release, and it would be another two to three years before it even launched on the Chinese mainland.

Li Yuan had considered producing some smaller titles first, like the web games *Plants vs. Zombies*, *Temple Run*, and *DDTank*, to make some quick cash. After careful thought, however, he felt there wasn't much point.
At the moment, he wasn't short on money. With nearly 20 million in cash, millions in monthly royalties, and six fully paid-for houses, he had more than enough to support the development of this major game.
