Chapter 346: The Legend of the Cottage
The WIFI network speed of the company is very fast, basically the speed of the rocket, and the game of several hundred meters can be downloaded in about ten seconds. At this time, the executives downloaded the game one after another, click to try it!
Ten minutes later, everyone raised their heads and looked at Yang Xiaotian.
"Boss, this is a legend, right?" Li Tao took the lead in speaking, saying, "On the basis of "Legend", some gameplay has been added, and the recharge system has been enriched, and then the pace is very fast, and people who play can't stop at all, but ...... After all, this is an outdated game, an old game, I'm afraid it can't keep up with the times!"
"yes, the graphics aren't very good, and the game sucks!" Xu Lili commented, "I don't even know what I'm doing, I only see my character automatically named, automatically pathfinding, automatic monsters, automatic picking up equipment and automatic wearing equipment, everything is automatically done, what is the meaning of my existence?"
The comments of these two are quite polite.
There are also unkind comments from the technical bosses of [Xia Ying Studio].
For example, Li Tao's girlfriend Lu Xiaokui complained unabashedly: "What kind of game is this? It is to make a charging system on the basis of "Legend", simplify the map, and speed up the pace, this is the dog's tail continuation mink! "Legend" is now half-dead itself, what is the way out for imitating the legend?"
"Boss, with all due respect!" Some people even said, "This is a garbage game! This garbage game has no future!"
"yes, what a broken game, you [Perfection Studio]
What are you eating? Do you want to make this garbage game to laugh to death and make us the laughing stock of the industry?"
"What is this broken game, I just make a game with my feet, and it's better than this game!"
"Copycat Legend, I don't blame you for copycat League of Legends, the legend is an antique from many years ago!"
Everyone unanimously criticized!
It's not that they think the legend is rubbish, it's just that the legend was an online game in 2000, it was a legend back then, and now it can only be rubbish. Whether it is the picture, plot, or gameplay, it is far behind the times, such as the current masterpiece "Against the Cold", just a light power system, I don't know how much it is better than the legend.
In 2000, Chen Di of Shanda Network acted as an agent for the Korean online game legend, and the legend became popular that year, an online game, which pushed Chen Metro to the position of the richest man in China. In those days, a legend was a true legend!
However, time has passed, things are not people, and the former king has long been half-dead. Even Chen Metro has already sold Shanda and become an angel investor himself, although he doesn't know what he invests in.
Everyone is not particularly optimistic about Yang Xiaotian's cottage of such an old game.
"Alright, alright, everyone be quiet!" Yang Xiaotian said, "I have opinions to mention one by one! Anyway, I plan to use this game to make a profit for [Tianshi.com]!"
The crowd fell silent.
Li Tao asked: "Legend is a very old game, how can this kind of old game be profitable? Even if you transplant the legend to your mobile phone, I'm afraid young people will not be interested in it." "Glory of Kings", "Onmyoji", "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", and "The Fifth Personality" are not more fun than legends? In the face of so many competitors, it is difficult for legends to have a chance of winning! Profit? I am not optimistic!
Li Tao's words, everyone nodded frequently.
Everyone is really not optimistic about this project that is a copycat legend on mobile phones.
Yang Xiaotian smiled: "Who said that I want to win the market of young people? Let me ask you, who are the legendary players?"
"They ......," Li Tao thought for a while and said, "When the legend was on fire, the players were all young people, and they can be said to be the first generation of people in China who came into contact with online games. But the stars are changing, this year is 2018, they are all old, almost a group of middle-aged people!"
Yang Xiaotian said: "Yes, they are greasy middle-aged men! Let me ask you, what age is the richest and most powerful group in this society?"
"Middle-aged!" Li Tao suddenly realized and said, "The elderly are going downhill, the young people have just gained a foothold, the little fresh meat has not yet come out, and the middle-aged people are precisely the group with the most wealth and the most power in this society." The ministerial-level senior officials of the country are all middle-aged, and the middle and high-level officials, businessmen, and employees in various places are mainly middle-aged people. If this is calculated, the spending power of middle-aged people is indeed terrifying, but why should they pay for copycat legends?"
"Feelings!" Yang Xiaotian said as a matter of course, "Yao Zhuangxian's kid has used Sword and Fairy Legend to make money again and again, why is the quality of the game so rubbish, and some people keep paying for it?
Li Tao said: "I am a practitioner, I have experienced the era of legends, and I can probably imagine the feelings of those middle-aged people for legends." But if they want to remember the legend, the grand "Legend" is still there, why don't they just play "Legend"? Why do they want to play the original version and play the copycat version?"
Yang Xiaotian had already made up his mind and said: "The genuine version of "Legend" is too old, as soon as a game is old, the atmosphere of the game will be dull, and it will be difficult to attract people to stay." Although I haven't played "Legend", but I have played "*", and the atmosphere of the game has been impossible to stay! How can "Legend", which is older than "*", be better? And strangely, the largest N server in the "*" private server can attract a large number of old players, and it is very sticky. ”
"And the developer of "Legend" in order to retaliate against Chen Metro, directly shamelessly released the source code of "Legend", which directly led to the rampant copycat and the flood of private servers in "Legend" from the beginning! It can be said that many old players of "Legend" came out of the era of copycats and private servers, and they have a high degree of acceptance of copycats and private servers!
"And now 90% of the country's people use the Internet equipment, no longer bulky computers, but lightweight mobile phones. We have copied "Legend" to mobile phones, and the old players of the legend must be using smartphones, and they can play games by turning on their mobile phones, so convenient, isn't it much more comfortable than sitting in front of the computer and playing the genuine "Legend"?"
Yang Xiaotian said three reasons in one breath, and these three reasons are quite reasonable, and many people feel convinced.
Li Tao continued to ask: "But although those middle-aged people have strong economic ability, they don't have much time, they are in the golden stage of their lives, and their careers are busy, how can they have time to play games?"
