Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Chapter 317: The Birth of a Game Career

"Excuse me, sir, do you know about GBA?"

"GBA? ... oh, you mean the upcoming handheld, right? Of course I know, how can I not know about such interesting things?"

On a very prosperous street in the United States, a TV reporter and follow-up videographer interviewed random people on the street.

With the popularity of GBA gradually rising, especially after the GBA was first released in Japan, some unboxing evaluation videos have appeared on online video platforms. People in the United States are naturally looking forward to those beautiful games.

And just in the few days before the release, the reporters are keenly taking advantage of this opportunity to rub the heat.

The reporter continued to question a young man on the road with a microphone.

"So are you ready to buy this latest product?"

"Sure, because it's the most fashionable thing, and it's not expensive."

"Are you interested in other handhelds of the same type? For example, the handhelds of Su Ruidian's family, or the handhelds of Lierda's family."

The young man looked blank: "Ah? What are those?"

"It's like this. Youxing Electronic Entertainment is not the only company that owns handheld games. In fact, you can experience more games from other companies. The quality of the games is also not bad." The reporter explained patiently.

"Is that so..." The young man still didn't quite understand.

He can only be regarded as a player who has just been forcibly pulled in by the heat. Before that, he didn't even have a game console.

And the previous play experience was all obtained from friends.

He also only knows about Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

"Hey, don't listen to this reporter's nonsense, other game consoles are rubbish, not worth mentioning at all."

At this time, the friend next to the young man pulled his companion vigilantly.

Americans are not short of money, even if they really spend more money to buy a few more than one hundred dollars of game consoles, it is not a big problem.

But buying a pile of rubbish is also embarrassing yourself, why ask for trouble?

The reporter was embarrassed for a while, obviously his Amway failed.

So he immediately changed his strategy: "It's true that other game consoles are not doing well right now, but the game industry also has a promising future. It's impossible for one company to be the only one forever, right?"

"I don't know, anyway, all I know is that it's right to just buy Youxing Electronic Entertainment now."

The young people interviewed at the beginning still didn't quite understand what was going on, so the interview ended hastily.

The reporter then asked several passers-by on the street in succession.

After all, there are still a small number of people who really understand the whole picture of the game industry, but there are really some people who listen to his Amway and plan to try other game consoles.

The release time of the game consoles this time is very short, so short that there are not many opportunities for other game consoles to take advantage of.

However, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's real 3D graphics game console has not been officially released yet, and many manufacturers have started to think about new game consoles.

If it is just to make a game console that can run 3D games, even a pseudo 32-bit game console is enough.

Use two rubbish 16-bit chips to forcibly pull up the frequency and let them run 3D graphics forcibly, which can save money and fool novice players.

In the United States, until now, many developers have paid more attention to the game console itself, or the game cartridge itself.

Those who really pay attention to content are still in the minority.

Because the United States has always been a country that values ​​physical assets, even though the Digital Millennium Copyright Protection Act has been introduced, it still does not pay enough attention to software quality itself.

On this point, some people in the industry have also put forward their own opinions, and hope that American companies can adopt them.

But most of the game development companies and game factories in the United States are still subsidiaries of large companies.

What kind of attitude does the above companies have? They must have the same attitude. Even if they want to focus on the cultivation of game quality itself, it is difficult to give higher treatment to game developers.

At this point, the small game development teams that were once all the rage made a lot of money because of it.

At the beginning, they took advantage of the chaotic era of game development in the United States to frantically produce all kinds of cheap pirated and high imitation games.

Many of the pirated and high-imitation games they developed at that time directly took the code of Youxing Electronic Entertainment and reused it.

Even if Zhu Youxing responded very quickly in this regard and quickly mobilized the lawyers and other forces to attack these teams, many of them still made a lot of money.

Some people even achieved financial freedom in just a few weeks, which can be said to be a very crazy era.

However, this era of chaos did not last long, and these small teams gradually came to an end due to the mature game market.

The main reason is, of course, that Youxing Electronic Entertainment is suing everywhere like a mad dog.

At that time, none of these teams had a clean hand, so naturally they were all right.

In the end, these people hid in hiding until the U.S. government came forward to sanction Youxing Electronics, and then they jumped out again and began to point out the country. They felt that Youxing Electronics was about to die, and their era had returned.

However, before they were happy, Youxing Electronic Entertainment used a brand new game console to beat them all to the ground.

This group of people is also gradually becoming a little desperate, and some people are even ready to give up the video game industry.

Originally, they were just some guys who came together out of interest to make quick money. Although their experience in game development has increased, they are a little worried.

Seeing that Youxing Electronic Entertainment is about to become bigger and stronger, and watching some previous interviews on the street, this group of people is ready to change careers.

However, at this moment, a person appeared.

He is the former CEO of Lilda, and his name is Huck Brown.

He is more or less a somewhat legendary figure, and he founded Lierda alone.

However, his fate was the same as that of Hongguo's Myron Keith, who was kicked out of the company he founded.

But a chosen person of his age would never give up easily because of one or two setbacks.

Unlike Myron, who hates the game industry, he really likes the video game entertainment industry.

Before the advent of video games, Lierda, which he founded, has become a small snake in the physical electronic toy industry.

Then, taking advantage of the east wind of video games, he took advantage of the trend and gained a firm foothold through the two game models of Lierda.

It's just that he didn't expect that his several violations of the high-level strategy would get him kicked out directly.

But this time, he wants the king to return, he wants to really create a company that only belongs to him, just like a company like Youxing Electronic Entertainment, the first thing to do is to recruit people, those game developers who used to develop garbage games became his target.
