Chapter 170: The Future Belongs to the Thick-skinned
Irvine in Orange County, California, next to the famous Long Beach, is a farm full of lakes and mountains.
In the middle of the last century, the University of California took a fancy to the location and established the University of California, Irvine.
A private company formed a new community around the university, and after two decades of growth, it slowly transformed into a small city.
Blizzard's headquarters in Irvine was nearly early in the morning, and the conference room was still brightly lit.
The conference room was not quiet, and everyone was arguing.
The design director swore in a hoarse voice, "I repeat again, there is nothing wrong with the game's level design! ”
The technical director raised his right hand to put his glasses on his nose and nodded emphatically.
"We have the most advanced anti-cheat program, and we are always the first to find illegal cheats. The GM was already involved when it happened, and after the incident, we retrieved the player's footage and game data, and we didn't find any problems!"
The operation frowned, and his fingers unconsciously tapped on the desktop, "Is it a problem with game plug-ins? Some players have complained that using plug-ins and not using plug-ins are completely two games." We can't let it go, we should limit plugins......"
The technical director pouted and disagreed, "We have someone specifically tracking this matter, the most widely used coconut plugin among players, and there have been no updates in this time...... The plugin only zooms in on or ignores some data, and is only an auxiliary part in itself, and does not change any data about the game or the player. The game retains various interfaces, which were originally intended for this. ”
The marketing director coughed lightly, looked at his colleagues, and looked serious, "Since the introduction of the auxiliary plugin, the average online time of players has increased significantly. The problem of plug-ins is no longer a problem, it has already been decided, please don't bring it up separately in the future!"
The operation staff scratched their ears and cheeks, a little crying and laughing, "Our customer service department has received too many complaints from players, threatening us: if we can't give a reasonable explanation, we will have to "SAY GOODBYE!"
There is no problem with itself, but what went wrong is incomprehensible.
The little secretary, who has been working hard to write a book and record the content of everyone's conversation, started to talk weakly, "Our union is using YY voice, and even requires that this software must be installed." The top management issued a ban on revealing it. Everyone wants to take this opportunity to use YY voice as a secret weapon and take the lead in the dungeon event. ”
The technical director frowned and muttered, "YY voice, is it a new plug-in?"
The little secretary shook his head, "It's not a plug-in, it's a new social software." As long as you download the client, you can voice chat and sing at any time, completely free and convenient!"
The design director thoughtfully asked, "Is it really always, delay-free voice communication? We designed the levels to be slightly more difficult than the general public. ”
Seeing a few people who were a little puzzled, he explained carefully, "The game era before YY voice can be called the era of letters and telegrams, and the ability to communicate by voice on the Internet is equivalent to entering the era of mobile phones." Where the copy needs to cooperate, as long as you shout at the top of your voice, many difficulties and small obstacles do not exist. ”
The technical director scratched his head, "We update the version once every four months, which is exactly in line with the player's steps; with YY voice, we have to increase the update speed, we can't do it at all!"
He rolled his eyes and thought about it, "We can set YY voice as an illegal plug-in." Players who use the software will not be able to log in to the game normally......"
The old god of the manager is here, "Don't make extraneous branches, be careful of being sentenced to monopoly." Microsoft's lessons from the past are ahead, and we have to guard against them. ”
In 1997, the U.S. Department of Justice accused Microsoft of monopolizing the operating system, and in 2000, Judge Thomas Jackson proved that Microsoft did have monopolistic practices.
After the new president took office, he said that he was not to blame for the past, and it took five years to almost shed a layer of skin before Microsoft avoided the fate of being dismembered.
The operation was indignant, "So Lae, we can't do anything about YY voice." In the official forum, we also want to clarify this matter. Isn't this indirect, doing free advertising for the other side?"
The manager shrugged, "If you don't want players to riot, if you don't want players to churn, this is probably the best way to do it." ”
The timing of YY's voice launch was very delicate, and Blizzard didn't want to offend, so they had to implement a "appeasement" policy.
……
In the early hours of the morning in the United States, it is the morning in the eastern hemisphere city of Gusu.
Seeing the new announcement of the official forum, Sun Buqi stood up and waved his fists vigorously.
If it weren't for the circumstances, he really wanted to raise his arms and shout.
The boss's action of jumping the god frightened everyone.
Sun Buqi smiled, "Everyone, the general trend has been decided! The official forum of Warcraft in the United States has made a new announcement, which has promoted our YY voice for free. Taking advantage of this spring breeze, let's hype up another wave in China, and the number of registered users and users will definitely increase to a higher order of magnitude in a short period of time, from thousands of people to tens of thousands!"
Hong Lei muttered to himself, "Isn't this carrying foreign self-respect?"
Sun Xianzhong glanced at his colleague, and a smile appeared on his face, "Sun Shao, the serial plan you made is really clever!"
After the two left, Li Ruoli pursed his lips and began to sneer, "Sun Xiaoer, at today's meeting, your face is similar to Wang Jingwei." In ancient times, you were an authentic second devil!"
Sun Buqi shrugged his shoulders and didn't care, "It doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, it's a good cat to catch a mouse!"
No matter how ugly it looks, it is much better than fake imported brands such as Montejiao, Da Vinci Tiles, and Left Bank Coffee.
Han Qing frowned, "The national server has just been tested publicly, except for senior players, the major gangs are pioneers, and few people pay attention to YY voice." In the later multiplayer dungeons, everyone will always find the benefits of YY voice. Some of the contestants of "Super Girl" have also opened YY accounts and gathered a small number of fans. ”
She always felt that Sun Buqi was too eager for quick success during this time, and hoped to slow down and develop customers through word of mouth, instead of going off the rails and playing all kinds of small tricks!
Sun Buqi opened his hands, hugged left and right, and said with a hippie smile, "Two concubines, I know my mistake." This is the only time, not the next one!"
Tencent, the future hegemon, is eyeing the side and is not allowed to develop step by step.
What project is popular, Boss Ma immediately uses the "take-it-ism", absorbs its essence and ideas, and makes similar projects, and finally the copycat is forced to die of originality.
Any project that is favored by Tencent will take advantage of its huge size to take the lead.
Li Ruoli knocked out the evil hand and escaped from the clutches, "You are a scoundrel, you can't tell the ...... of the occasion"
The girl stretched out her arm and also helped Han Qing get rid of the scoundrel's coercion, and couldn't help but laugh, "Sister Qing, I haven't fed him at night." In broad daylight, in the office, they do something to us. ”
Sun Buqi touched his chin, thoughtfully, word by word, "What do you mean, don't you mean that if it's a big night, I can do whatever I want?"
Li Ruoli "giggled", scraping his face with his little hands, "I've seen more exciting scenes......"
Two red clouds flew up on Han Qing's face, "You pair of sturdy men and women...... My sister is old, and the future will be your post-80s world. ”
Li Ruoli hurriedly smiled, "Sister Qing, according to the lunar calendar, you are also a post-80s generation...... The future belongs to the post-80s and post-90s, but it belongs to the thick-skinned after all!"
