Audition is a
top hit dance MMO game with millions of teen users across Vietnam.
Created by Korea's T3
Entertainment and operated by VTC Game
Online, Audition came to Vietnam mid 2006 and instantly captured the
heart and mind of teen girls hungering for online social entertainment.
The success made other game service providers GSPs seeking similar
titles after failure at launching fighting MMORPG (Swordsman Online
excluded, another success story). Bad
news for VTC from China: LineKong, an IDGVC backed game
company has licensed Audition 2 from T3 Entertainment. LineKong founders
are from Kingsoft that IDGVV brought Swordman Online to
Vietnam then operated by IDGVV
backed Vinagame. Unlike China
scene, IDGVV will not have to look for new startup team since Vinagame is the largest on line
GSP now. Can VTC release its in-house developed Audition 2
clone?
