Chapter 80: The Horn of the Counterattack [Asking for a Monthly Pass!Second Update]

Takahashi once heard a more interesting question, that is, "Why would some people be willing to buy an arcade machine that costs as much as 500,000 yuan, while some people think that a home machine that costs 50,000 yuan is expensive?"

"Because arcade machines are bought to make money, and home machines can't make money when they are bought. This is Takahashi's answer.

People are always reluctant to pay a lot of money for entertainment because there are too many places to spend it. Playing with all the money means going hungry.

Therefore, Takahashi never wanted to make any "high-end entertainment". All the products of Wanhu, no matter what the style of the product itself is, must first be down-to-earth in price.

And the price is easy to say, but difficult to do.

Wanhu can do it, the first reason is that its games sell a lot, even if it is a big production, a big cost, the sales volume has gone up, and the cost is evenly shared, which is not much.

The other is the current Takahashi production game, or the goal of creating 10,000 households. It has shifted from making money to making good games and making games that more people can afford.

While it may sound strange and even a little bizarre, that's what Takahashi is doing.

He just started in the games industry, and he really just wanted to be able to eat and drink enough and get rid of hunger.

However, having solved the problem of food and clothing, he began to think about the question, what is the purpose of making games, is it to make money, or to make people happy.

Perhaps looking at this issue in isolation is a bit too abstract.

However, if you replace Wanhu with a hospital, replace the game with medical care.

Does the question become, is it to run a hospital to cure patients, or to make money?

If it is said that it is to make money, is it that patients who have no money can be treated?

Such...... Is it putting the cart before the horse?

Takahashi thought about it for a long time, and finally figured out this question clearly.

The highest goal of Wanhu should not be to make money, but to provide joy to more players while ensuring their own survival.

Outline the plan.

With this supreme program, we will advance towards this supreme program.

The temperament of the entire company has become different from other game companies.

Although players can't tell exactly what the difference is, it seems that Wanhu's game is more attractive and easier to make people feel sincere.

Takahashi has established basic rules, and there are card games with dedicated data planners, card planners, and player-made cards. There is no official name yet at the moment.

However, the way in which the cards were sold had already been decided.

Takahashi had already explained to the people in the sales department what a "trading card" was.

Trading cards are more of a business model than a way to play.

In Takahashi's view, this business model is similar to the small and continuous payment model adopted by Tencent in another time and space.

Tencent, a company that was able to survive at the beginning because of the profitability of its mobile phone QQ, which cooperated with Mobile.

After that, the foundation of the Tencent empire was supported by members and QQ dress-ups.

A QQ makeup, a piece of clothing may only cost one Q coin.

And the price of this card pack of Wanhu is also planned to be 100 yen per pack.

What can you do with 100 yen?

You can only buy a few coarse snacks and only play a non-top-notch arcade game once.

Nowadays, the top arcade games, such as those racing simulators, have already risen to 500 yen a time.

There will be five cards in a pack.

According to the rules designed by Takahashi, you can start the game with at least six different cards. So, basically, as long as your face is not particularly dark, and you draw five overlapping cards in two packs in a row, you can start the game.

Such a low threshold was deliberately designed by Takahashi.

Although he knew that if Wan Hu made the card game, the attention he would have in the early stage was not small.

However, if the bar is too high, it will still keep players out.

In addition, there is no perfect and developed network yet, and there is no way to promote network battles. It's impossible to get players to play the game at zero cost.

Therefore, the card rules, which have a high probability of being able to play with a low threshold of 200 yen, have become the focus of Takahashi's design at this stage.

How to play the game with as few cards as possible without compromising the larger frame is a groundbreaking setting.

And this convenience for players will also become a problem that followers will encounter.

That's right, Takahashi never expected card games to be left unattended.

Although he wasn't sure how many manufacturers were going to make card games before this episode of Takahashi's Party, he was sure that there would be many manufacturers who would make card games after this episode aired.

Although, it is impossible for the big factories to give up the task at hand and devote most of their resources to the card market.

However, a powerful factory, even if it is just sending some people to tempt, can sometimes cause miracles.

Don't forget, in today's world, the choice of top industry talents is almost always to work in top companies.

Manufacturers such as Namco, Sega, Nintendo, Konami, Hudson, and Wanhu can be said to be the manufacturers that can be counted in the field of games now.

And among these manufacturers, such as Konami, on the MSX platform, which is not paid attention to, by an unappreciated newcomer, in addition to a game called "Metal Gear Solid".

It became the first on the MSX platform in one fell swoop.

In addition to the large factories that are likely to be upset, those small factories are also very threatening.

The production of cards is not complicated, as long as the rules are designed, the cards are designed, and a printing shop is found to produce them on your behalf.

Only if you are creative, even if you don't have much capital, you can do it slowly.

You must know that after Takahashi left Hudson, the first pot of gold he dug was also related to the printing industry.

Although Takahashi is in full swing to arrange the design, the production plan.

However, there was a rather hilarious report on the market, "Revenge on Nintendo?

"As we all know, the manufacturer and distributor of the red and white machine is Nintendo.

How long has the video game just been born, and Nintendo, which has been founded for almost a hundred years. The first pot of gold that I made a fortune on was cards.

Now, if you're interested, go to the grocery store closest to your home and you'll still see a card with the Nintendo brand name written on it.

And now, Wanhu has also announced that it is going to enter the card industry.

The editor believes that this is Wanhu's revenge for Nintendo's exclusion from the red and white machine platform system, and it is the clarion call for Wanhu's counteroffensive......"
