……

Counting the sound of the shutter, the film negative left the innocent smile of the little boy Sakurada Toru several times.

His father was watching and didn't know what to look at, while his mother tended to the flowers and plants in the yard.

"Trouble, we're gone. This is my business card, your article, I will reply to you after the leader reads it. Just call your home when the time comes. Takahashi said with honorifics.

The boy's father did not become happy because of Takahashi's honorifics, he stared at Takahashi, staring at him as if to remember Takahashi's appearance.

For Takahashi, who is stared at by countless people every day, the child's father's gaze is not powerful.

"Takahashi, Takahashi, am I really going to be in a magazine?" The little boy asked himself if he was going to be in a magazine when he was about to leave after the little boy finished taking the photo.

"Well, you're going to be in a magazine, and there's going to be a free issue for you. Takahashi said.

"Yes!" the little boy's eyes sparkled. Obviously, he didn't know that sending samples of printed publications was an extremely ordinary thing.

Takahashi rubbed the little boy's head before leaving the little boy's house.

"Senior, is that really what you said?" said Maori Konsin worriedly.

"Yes. Takahashi nodded, although he said a few times not to call himself senior, but Mori Konobu still insisted on calling, and after a few times, he got used to it.

"Why do you want to say such a thing? We're a game company, isn't it ...... to say such a thing?" said Mori Konsin in a long voice, saying what he wanted to say.

"Not good, is it? Takahashi didn't have any scruples, and said directly, "I don't think it's suitable either." At that time, the child's mother complained that the child was too addicted to the game and looked like he was going to eat people, so I said so.

You see that the little boy is the first person to clear the Gold Digger Tournament, and you should be able to understand the mother's feelings. Even if you have talent, if you don't work hard, you can't get this first.

Think about it, what would you think if you had a kid who was addicted to games?

Konsin Mori shook his head, putting himself in his shoes and thinking that he wouldn't think the game was a good thing.

Takahashi saw that Maori had finished digesting his previous words before continuing, "In this case. Naturally, an anti-gaming trend will be born among parents. Overkill, I'm afraid I won't be able to play for an hour a day, and the console will be treated as the most terrifying monster in the world.

I say that it's good to play the game for an hour a day, and I also mean to avoid this problem.

It was all an afterthought, and I didn't think that much about it at the time. ”

Takahashi calmly finished analyzing it and smiled stupidly. A person who is too calm, no matter how capable he is, will not be liked by anyone. If you are too good, you are too far away from ordinary people.

Although Konobu Mori felt that something seemed wrong, he agreed with Takahashi's statement.

In the video game industry, the main job is to provoke players and attract them to play games and spend money, and on the other hand, it is to fight against public opinion.

The moment the video game was born, it seemed to carry original sin.

It first appeared in bars and pachinko shops, and such places are not "serious" places by any means.

Later, the arcade hall that appeared specially also often gathered some unemployed vagrants and bad teenagers, and it was full of smoke, just like the caves infested by monsters in Journey to the West, and it didn't look like a "serious" place.

People in mainstream society really don't have a good impression of video games.

The rise of video games under this popular perception is not only fun in itself, but also in the context of the big era.

The ever-growing material and economic conditions have prompted more and more people to pursue spiritual and cultural prosperity.

In human terms, it means that you are well fed and clothed and want to be entertained.

While traditional entertainment, comics, animation, television, movies, and music are growing rapidly, there is still a huge market space.

This untouched blue ocean was quickly taken over by video games.

There is one very special thing about video games compared to traditional forms of entertainment, and that is how interactive they are.

Novels, comics, movies, these forms of entertainment, consumers can only be a passive recipient. When watching a movie, the audience suddenly wants to see the sky, can he make the screen appear as the sky immediately? Obviously not.

Although the current stage of video games, there is no similar experience. However, the superiority of this kind of interactive entertainment has also begun to be seen.

People are crazy about a small game, a small screen.

Even, in the absence of official support, a relatively thriving subculture has emerged.

Even the game makers themselves don't have an accurate idea of the background of the game. Just to make up the numbers, the content of a sentence or a paragraph was made, but the player wrote a set of epic plots.

It's a pity that many game companies in this era have not even finished tapping the profits of the game itself, and they may not know about things like copyright expansion, or they may be too lazy to do it.

The rice in the bowl was not finished, and it was useless to look at the dishes in the pot.

As a result, a lot of content that was originally excellent was wasted.

Except for manufacturers like Nintendo, who are used to using one character to make a bunch of games. The vast majority of game companies' games do not have the opportunity to form a complete world view.

Metro, subway, walking.

Back at the company, Takahashi immediately reported the trip to Yuji Kudo.

"One hour of gaming is enough, one hour of playing every day?" said Kudo Yuji after listening to Takahashi's narration, pondering these two sentences.

Hudson took a different path than other video game companies. Compared to other companies, where the main business is arcade games, Hudson's main business is completely red and white games.

The importance of the red and white machine to Hudson has even exceeded the degree of the red and white machine to Nintendo.

After all, even if Nintendo's red and white machine failed, there was still an arcade business, a taxi business, a printing agency business, a love hotel business, and the most traditional business of the industry - cards such as flower cards and poker.

As a result, Kudo had to think carefully about the impact of "playing for an hour a day" on Hudson.

"That father who worked in journalism wants us to give us money?" confirmed Yuji Kudo.

"Hmm. Takahashi nodded.

"Okay, give him the money and let him send out the version you said you played for an hour a day. By the way, the fact that he is the father of the first clearer of the Gold Digger Championship can also be hyped. In a moment, you go to Hiroshi Kudo and ask him to contact the relevant media for a joint operation. ”
