"I ...... Hated, I hated, why am I hated?" Richie was in a strange state, he really couldn't understand that a player who was so serious and liked to play games would be hated by game manufacturers.

"What is the purpose of the existence of game manufacturers?" Takahashi asked.

"Make a game?" replied Richie, somewhat unconvinced.

Takahashi shook his head and said, "No. ”

"That's ......"

"It's to make money!" Takahashi clapped his hands on Richie's shoulders, "How many companies in the world are not born to make money?"

From this point of view, you are still not the player that game manufacturers like?

Think about what are the characteristics of veteran players?

Think about whether veteran players are very picky, and the slightest problem with game production will be infinitely magnified.

To satisfy veteran players, the effort and cost that need to be paid are several times that of ordinary players.

In other words, it's harder to earn money from you, and it's hard to earn money from you.

In this way, do you think that the game manufacturers will still like you?

Wouldn't it be nice to have no choice before, but now that they can make more money at a more relaxed pace?

Richie?"

Takahashi's words sent Richie into deep thought.

Takahashi's remarks are equivalent to a naked deconstruction of the relationship between the vast majority of players and game manufacturers.

In Richie's mind, players and manufacturers love each other, and blood is thicker than water.

Isn't it harmonious that manufacturers make games and players play games?

However, when Takahashi explains, Richie discovers that it is all an illusion, it is all an illusion!

Why is the contest held?

Is it to keep the players happy?

No!

No!

It's to get more people to buy the game!

Is giving a gift to treat the player as a family?

No!

No!

The reason for buying a game and giving a gift is to make other players feel that they will also be the lucky ones, and they can also get valuable gifts after buying the game themselves.

Rich's worldview has collapsed!

He sat down in his chair in a gloomy state, his worldview shattered to the ground, and he wanted to pick up these broken worldviews from the ground little by little, and piece them together little by little.

Takahashi didn't want to say it so thoroughly, but if he didn't, it would be a bigger blow to Richie in the future.

The world of capital is callous.

The reason why there is affection is just for the pursuit of profit.

Even if there are some people or organizations who think that they make games to bring happiness to others, they are to bring happiness to others.

But......

Even they have to compromise with the market if they want to survive.

This kind of compromise, if it sounds good, is probably called commercialization.

But if you don't say it well, you're selling your soul.

The reason why Takahashi wants to leave Wanhu is not so much to accompany Xiaoai to school, but rather to escape from Wanhe, the system he has set up.

The so-called being in the rivers and lakes is involuntarily.

In the market, I can't help myself!

There are so many employees in 10,000 households who have to eat in order to survive.

Can he make his favorite games based on his own preferences and not care about the market?

No!

No!

Perhaps, only by leaving such an environment can we make a game that truly adheres to the heart of a player.

Although the road is difficult, it is Takahashi's dream.

Rich looked up slowly, and he asked, "John, do you really think that's the case in the video game industry?"

Takahashi nodded.

"There's no game company that makes games for players?"

"Yes. But they're either on the way to death, or they're dead. Of course, in the long run, no one can live forever, and no company can be evergreen.

However, these companies are definitely dying faster and more steadily. ”

Takahashi replied.

"John, why did you make games? To make money, I really enjoyed making games with you, Xiao Ai, and Lisa!" Richie said, tears welling up in his eyes.

Although this game production team has not been put together for a long time, and it has not been established exactly, and there is no organization name or logo, Rich really likes the atmosphere here.

Takahashi sighed and said, "Richie, I said I'm here to make games that players like, do you believe it?" It's like a butcher saying he actually likes pigs, do you believe it?"

"Alas...... There will always be people who sacrifice for the sake of dreams, no matter who they are. After Takahashi said this, he said, "There was once a great man in China who said, 'For the sake of sacrifice and ambition, dare to change the sun and the moon into a new sky'." I want to turn the game upside down and create a whole new industry. Do you believe it? Do you think it's possible?"

Takahashi's expression was a little indescribably gloomy.

He really wanted to make a game that players would love to play, but what would the difficulty be like in order to do that?

Richie lowered his head and thought slowly.

The clock ticked and the time ticked.

The sun sinks in the west, and the moon climbs the branches.

Xiao Ai drove home in a car after class, and saw Richie sitting on a chair and deep in thought, she also felt very strange, she asked Takahashi softly, "What's wrong with him?"

Takahashi comforted Xiao Ai, "It's okay, it's just that the worldview is broken, just wait for him to stick up." ”

"The worldview is shattered!?That doesn't sound good, he's not going to kill himself, is he?" asked Takahashi.

Xiao Ai's father, who used to be a student at the University of Tokyo, was depressed for a long time because of something, and finally committed suicide by jumping off the building.

And the core of this matter, for her father, is that the worldview is broken. And this shattered worldview, her father did not stick up.

Xiao Ai still remembers what her father looked like when she was young, and she couldn't help but be a little worried about Richie in front of her.

"Probably not...... Takahashi said.

After listening to Xiao Ai's words, he was also a little worried. The world is so wonderful, the world is so big. With so much to see and so many games to play, would Richie want to end himself?

Takahashi is also not sure.

Perhaps, he felt that by sacrificing himself, the entire video game industry would be better?

You must know that although the United States is the most developed country in the world, the lighthouse of the world, and the city on a hill, there are still many strange organizations in the countryside of the United States.

There are really not one or two believers who sacrifice themselves for various reasons and want to achieve various goals.

"John!"

That's when Richie spoke up.

"I believe in you. ”

He said.
