In the Internet café, the sound of shouting comes and goes!

"Send troops, let's go to the !! together"

The Internet café was crowded with people, and there were two or three people standing behind a machine watching, waiting for the other party to get off the plane, to be precise! In the Internet café with a large flow of people, there was a long queue at the door.

Firefly game platform, overnight, rose to fame.

Warcraft 1 and Doom have taken the world by storm!

According to incomplete statistics, the next day, as many as 500,000 new Internet home users were added in the United States!

Recently, the computer system administrator at Carnegie Mellon University issued an online notice: "Since the release of the Firefly game platform. The school's network then showed an anomaly, and after analysis, we believe that two new games on the Firefly gaming platform caused the network overload...... All Doom and Warcraft 1 players should be reminded that you should not play online, as this will bring a lot of traffic to the network, and the load on our campus network is close to the limit. If we don't, we'll be forcibly disconnected!Again: don't play Doom and Warcraft 1 online!"

"Since the release of Doom and Warcraft 1, students have lined up for tens of meters outside the computer room to play these two games," said the administrator of the computer room at Stanford University's computer department. This situation has had a serious impact on student learning. So, I decided to write a little program that would go through each machine. Cut Doom and Warcraft 1!"

Intel Corporation.

"Report to the supervisor, find an anomaly !! network"

"What's going on?!!How can the network be abnormal?" the director asked, shocked and confused.

"Report to the director, after some inspection, we have found the cause of the network anomaly! According to our tracking, it is because a large number of company employees are playing Doom and Warcraft 1 !!"

When the Director heard this, his hand shook, and the sparkling cigarette butt fell to the ground, and his computer was running Warcraft 1 at the moment.

"Okay, I see, immediately ban employees from running Doom and Warcraft 1 in the company!!"

"Understood. Director, I'm going to give you an immediate notice!"

"Hmm!"

At this time, an ally typed out a line of words on the computer screen: "Robinson, what's the matter with you." Let you send troops, you don't cooperate, my soldiers have been killed by the computer!"

"I'm sorry, I was answering the phone!" explained the supervisor, "I'll send troops over now!"

As soon as the supervisor was transferred, a notice prohibiting playing games was sent to Intel's ICQ enterprise group.

Then. The supervisor saw the other party typing: "Paralyzed, the supervisor asked people to issue a notice that they are not allowed to play games in the company!"

When the director heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, oh, is the other party also in Intel?!

……

EA Games, Inc.

"Firefly Games is so powerful, Doom's three-dimensional graphics and mind-blowing speed are just awe-inspiring! Warcraft 1 is played in real-time, not the turn-based approach of strategy games. And through this kind of macro operation, it can be easier for people to experience the thrill of operation!"

"Firefly Games will definitely rise this time, and our opponents are strong again!"

“……”

Nintendo Japan.

"Immediately send someone to contact Firefly Games and ask them to port Doom and Warcraft 1 to our SFC home game console!" Nintendo President Yamauchi Pu said with a serious expression at an emergency meeting!

"Hi !!"

Henry came to ID-software Games at this time, and he said to CEO John Carmack, "John Carmack, what do you think we would do if we developed a Doom editing tool that allows players to create their own levels?"

When John Carmack heard this, he pondered for a while and said, "Chairman, this is a good idea of yours, it will definitely attract more people to become Doom players, and it will generate a large number of loyal players!!"

John Carmack paused and said excitedly, "Oh, the thought of being able to play the game levels you made yourself is amazing!"

"That's right!!" Henry nodded, and then said to John Carmack, "This kind of program that can be modified, I call it MOD, that is, the abbreviation of modification, can modify props, weapons, characters, enemies, things, modes, storylines, etc., in computer games, or add new items and things!" Henry said this, pausing, "However, we need to pay special attention to one problem!"

"If the mods made by the players are popular and generate commercial value, then how should the profits be distributed!Therefore, we should first make a formal statement to avoid lawsuits later due to these commercial disputes!" Henry thought for a moment and said, "In order to encourage and stimulate many players to make mods! I think it can be written in the statement that if the mods made by players have commercial value, we can sign a contract with them and give them a part of the benefits, eh?" Let's say 1% of the MOD earns ......"

John Carmack smiled in surprise: "Chairman, in this way, I can already imagine that there will be a lot of players involved in the production of mods!"

Henry smiled: "Hehe, this is the best, they are equivalent to free labor to help us develop the game, enrich the game content, and increase popularity! Anyway, if you don't sign a contract, you won't have any money for them! As for whether to sign a contract or not, it's entirely up to us, and we will only sign the kind of mod with obvious commercial value." At the end of the day, it's about us making a lot of money!"

"In addition, if a game is constantly being modded by players, then the game will continue to be profitable for the company. But we were able to save a lot of manpower and resources on this game, allowing us to focus on crafting another new game!"

When John Carmack heard this, he nodded again and again, he was already a little impatient to develop the mod editor, "Chairman, then I'll go and develop the mod editor of "The Slayer" now!!

Henry smiled and said, "Well, there you go!"

"Okay!" John Carmack replied excitedly, and hurried out!
