Making a post-apocalyptic game: Depressing all players

The dispute between piracy and genuine copies, the insidious methods of Goose Factory

Zhao Shunli stayed in the office with a gloomy face. The employees who came to report were cautious and even put down the documents in fear, and then quickly and quietly left the place.

After all, no one wants to be scolded by someone accidentally.

I can’t play well on my own.

To make us angry?

Incompetent and furious, right?

As employees left work one after another, Zhao Shunli was the only one left in the entire studio. The pressure from his boss and internal competition made him breathless during this period.

It can develop buyout single-player 3A games, but it has never been able to compete with Ninth Art.

Even if it is “imitation”.

This kind of operation that usually works every time, using a huge user group and publicity channels to beat the original factory to death on the beach, has now been announced to be completely aborted.

It has even become the laughingstock of the industry.

Now Zhao Shunli is very convinced.

The user stickiness of Ninth Art’s buyout 3A stand-alone game is far more terrifying than I imagined.

but no matter.

With limited user base and limited gaming time, the cake in the gaming industry is so big. If someone wants to eat it, someone has to spit it out.

The business turnover, average and overall game time of Scourge Studio during this period.

The rate of decline is evident.

If you don’t want to sit still and wait for death.

He must take countermeasures.

Therefore, it is time to start the two previous plans.

First, the few employees who were previously sent to Ninth Art to help them “make games” have learned a lot of information and codes of each other during this period of dormancy.

With codes, there are too many operational methods… …

Secondly, you have to hit the snake seven-inches and master the code. Even if you don’t have to spend a huge amount of money to copy and imitate, you can severely hit the life of the buy-out stand-alone game.

What is the biggest enemy of stand-alone games?

Of course it is Piracy.

No matter how sentimental the players are, their wallets are involved in the face of pirated games.

It is self-evident how they will choose.

After all, no one is stupid enough to be willing to spend more money, right?

In this case, as long as the ninth The turnover and income of art are gradually declining. No matter how creative you are, insufficient funds mean that the progress of research and development is gradually slowing down.

By then, Goose Factory,

whether it is imitating or catching up,

will have more time.

After all, nowadays VR virtual body sensing technology is advancing rapidly, and it is the general trend to develop in this direction. Many upper-level figures in the company who are sitting on nothing and short-sighted dismiss it.

However, they have long been abandoned by the times without knowing it.

Zhao Shunli is ambitious and visionary. .

He is not satisfied with his current position, and at the same time he also knows that traditional games are destined to be abandoned.

So while sanctioning the Ninth Art,

his titles such as “War Against Rebellion”, “Shuttle Front”, “Q Speed”… etc. Extremely high-end games are now stepping up their efforts to launch VR virtual somatosensory versions.

God’s Punishment – is the first of the six studios under the Goose Factory game department to take this step to try to eat crabs.

You can imagine how much pressure Zhao Shunli has endured You know.

After all, since the emergence of the Ninth Art.

His apocalyptic survival game “After Tonight” was exploded, and the cosplay “Zombie Killer” became a global laughing stock. Both games invested a lot of money, but both suffered Waterloo.

He, Zhao Shunli.

The former company celebrity has also become the target of ridicule by other competitors.

You can imagine the feeling.

Zhao Shunli sighed deeply, with a cold look in his eyes, and finally dialed a Phone.

“Didi Didi——”

“Hey, Xiaoye, is it convenient now?” “Yes, codes for The Walking Dead and Cities: Skylines. ”

“It doesn’t matter if you only have part of the code. You have to trust our company’s filling and cracking capabilities. ”

”

“ASAP. ”

“Didi didi -”

Zhao Shunli hung up the phone, with a few curves appearing in the corners of his mouth.

Just wait until the time is right.

…

Late at night.

In another office in this city.

Zhao Qingshan and Chen Mo looked at the surveillance.

“Answer. What should I do if I get down? Chen Mo smiled lightly: “Since Lao Zhao wants it, of course I will give it to him. ”

”

“This old guy is still so sinister. ”

Zhao Qingshan was a little confused. He knew the other party Sima Zhao’s intentions, but why was Chen Mo still so calm and indifferent: “Are you sure…send it? What to do about plagiarism and piracy? ”

Chen Mo just smiled.

“Those codes are all good things that I carefully selected. After all, I can’t let others work in vain, right? Besides, I dare to be so careless if I can’t prevent counterfeiting. ”

“Right? ”

Zhao Qingshan was stunned.

This guy is so shady now.

When he thought of his dialect saying that he wanted to evacuate this studio, he couldn’t help but feel weak in his legs.

“Okay. ”

“knew. “But Lao Chen, I still have to remind you, are you really not afraid of piracy? ”

You must know that single-player buyout games are not as good as online games, and this will have a great impact on sales. ”

Of course Chen Mo understands this truth.

Piracy has indeed had a huge impact on stand-alone games.

This is also a headache for all stand-alone production studios around the world, but it does not mean that it cannot be solved, but there is no need to do it. Solution.

Cheap or even free pirated copies.

Compared with genuine products.

In addition to being competitors and mortal enemies, there is also a sense of complementarity.

The relationship between the two is very similar to online novels.

The influence of genuine paid works has always been Limited, many potential consumers will choose to reject it because of RMB, but piracy can make the original work more popular and expand its influence,

thereby increasing the value of IP.

This is why many reading platforms and even studios allow piracy, and even release castration themselves. The reason for piracy.

This is Chen Mo’s idea.

In addition to player purchase and payment income, the value of IP derived from a good enough game is immeasurable, especially a story-based interactive game like “The Walking Dead”.

Whether it is a comic adaptation , or a film and television drama.

As long as the influence is high enough,

the value is immeasurable.

So, driven by this idea,

Chen Mo not only made a special trip to steal the code, but also added anti-theft preparations to counterattack the goose factory in the future, and also castrated …

After all, whether it is pirated or imitated,

it cannot be the same as the paid genuine experience, right?

After Zhao Qingshan chatted with him for a while, he waved goodbye.

“After work, you should go to bed early. ”

Then he opened the door and prepared to leave.

Chen Mo just nodded, and then began to bend down at the desk.

At the same time, he sighed in his heart.

Nanshan Pizza Hut, right?

I want to see the irrefutable evidence. How can you win by then?
