Chapter 277: Doom's Multiple Influences

The release of Doom caused some anomalies in the US market.

Of course this anomaly is a good thing for video games.

More and more people who had no previous interest in video games are playing games.

I have to say that the United States really has a deep gun complex.

First-person shooter games naturally have certain advantages in this country.

The appearance of Doom immediately became the darling of the US market.

Originally, due to the sales of the cheap game console FC, the sales of SFC started to weaken, but soon due to the release of Doom, the sales increased rapidly again, and it was close to being out of stock again.

This is not enough.

The proportion of personal PCs per capita in the United States is very high, and they are naturally a huge group of potential customers.

When Doom was released on PC, countless players who were very interested in Doom were greeted.

And these PC players are crazy, they can play Doom day and night, almost tirelessly.

Some have even reached a point where it starts to affect their lives slightly.

However, Zhu Youxing had already expected this point.

In his original world, Doom was also very popular at the beginning of its release.

This is simply history repeating itself.

For Youxing Electronic Entertainment, this is very good news.

The first week of sales of Doom alone has quickly increased the revenue of Zhuyouxing by hundreds of millions of dollars, which is really terrifying.

2 million, the price of a game reached 69 knives, excluding the physical costs, the profit in the first week also reached close to 70 million US dollars.

With such popularity, Doom has gone viral like crazy.

'Hey, have you heard of Doom? Is that the shooting game? '

'What? Have not heard? Then I will give you a good recommendation. This is a super cool game. If you don't play it, you are not a real man! '

There are a lot of such remarks on the Internet. Although such remarks are somewhat offensive, their influence is also amazing.

With this kind of viral spread, Doom is not over after its first week of sales is gratifying, and it continues to sell at a very crazy speed.

The sales volume in the second week unexpectedly remained at the level of two million.

In two weeks, the profit exceeded 100 million US dollars. This kind of earning ability is very terrifying.

Of course, the most terrifying thing is the influence of Doom on the thinking of Americans.

More and more people are starting to lose their normal lives because of Doom.

This is not an exaggeration at all, but some people are so addicted that they forget to eat and forget to work.

What's more, some companies even play Doom from the boss to the employees.

Their ongoing work projects have come to a standstill.

That's the horror of Doom.

affect life.

In some U.S. states, officials also seem to be aware of this.

Of course, they didn't discover this on their own initiative, but they themselves fell into it, which indirectly caused problems in their government affairs.

And some civil servants under their command sometimes make mistakes when reporting their work materials, and they will enter some terms from Doom into their work documents, which will affect other people's judgments.

"Governor, you should see this."

In the governor's office of a certain state in the United States, the assistant walked in with a solemn expression holding a document.

As soon as he entered the office, he heard a familiar sound of gunfire in the governor's office.

But the sound soon stopped abruptly.

"Huh? Why didn't you knock on the door? Forget it, what's the matter? I'm a little busy now, so hurry up and finish."

The assistant looked dumbfounded.

He seemed to realize what the governor was doing just now.

The governor was playing Doom just now.

And what he wants to report is also related to Doom.

At this time he hesitated.

However, he still mustered up the courage to step forward and handed over the data he had collected to the governor.

"Governor, here's the data from my recent survey, a video game product is affecting us."

"Electronic games?"

The governor is very sensitive to this title now, and at the same time he is a little guilty, because he was also playing Doom just now.

He carefully opened the document submitted by his assistant and read it carefully.

Then, his expression became serious.

In the document, there are detailed records of the influence brought by the Doom game in recent times.

The most notable one is that many people have affected their life, work and studies because of their addiction.

This has a great impact on the United States.

If this influence continues to be left unchecked, perhaps this game may be like some kind of contraband, which will affect the entire society.

In order to make the information he collected more convincing, the assistant also deliberately found some examples. These examples are related to the impact on life after playing Doom. Some employees of the power supply bureau even caused power failures because they played Doom at work. By mistake, the electricity in an area fluctuates violently.

There are also local companies where all employees play games, which has caused several businesses of this company to stagnate. The owner is already very dissatisfied and is planning to sue this company. If the lawsuit is successful, this company will also go bankrupt. As a result, there will be many unemployed people, which is something that many people do not want to see.

The governor became more and more frightened when he saw the news.

He can be regarded as the elite of the United States, and even he, the elite, was addicted to it just now, and almost forgot his job.

Then let alone those ordinary people whose per capita intelligence is not high.

Their resistance to video games will certainly be lower.

This is indeed not a good sign.

At this time, he finally began to examine the document seriously, and then looked up at his personal computer.

On his personal computer, there was still a picture of the Doom Soldier killing the enemy.

"Governor, the impact of this game is very serious. I suggest that we should consider controlling it now. Moreover, you see, this is something created by a company from Japan. I have to doubt the ambitions of the Japanese company. They may He has his own dark secret."

Of course, the latter paragraph is just random nonsense.

But the people are also very easy to believe this kind of words.

If used properly, it could indeed pose a threat to Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

The government of a state will openly confront a Japanese game company, and the result is obvious. The Japanese company cannot win, and maybe the governor can gain some prestige.

In the name of the people, he fought against the influence of foreign cultures and brought people's lives back on track.
