Chapter 6 Life is easy to grow old

While Villefort and Mando were thinking about all sorts of strategies for their gunplay games, players didn't think about it that much.

They focus more on which game doesn't cost money and which game is more fun.

Players who pay attention to which game does not cost money are often players with a relatively low age level. A sixty-dollar game is too expensive for them, even if they can get paid to deliver newspapers, send bonds, and clean the lawn for people part-time, but sixty dollars will require them to do at least sixty times.

Even if you do it twice a day, it will take you thirty days to get a new game.

However, how can children's entertainment be only video games?

Whether you want to play skateboards, whether you want to ride bicycles, and don't think that children will spend less.

In a commercial society, even a baby needs to consume more and more products, not less.

Therefore, those first-line masterpieces, in fact, in terms of price, have begun to get farther and farther away from young players.

On the contrary, the relatively cheaper games on Nintendo Handheld and Wanhu Handheld are more popular with children.

Although the picture quality of the two handhelds is not good, in the hearts of young players, it can sow the seeds for the two manufacturers.

After many years, even if the two manufacturers are no longer good, even if they harvest the feelings of former fans, they can live for a long time.

Perhaps, it is other major game manufacturers that ignore children's needs for games, and just need to make as much money as possible in front of them, which gives Nintendo and Wanhu a different living space.

You must know that the combined sales of the two games "Pokemon" and "Pokémon" have exceeded 20 million.

Almost both models have sold around 10 million.

With sales of 10 million, it can already be said to be a nuclear bomb for a mainstream masterpiece, but for this kind of toddler-oriented game, it is not obvious.

Even when the TV cartoon or theatrical version of "Pokemon" is broadcast, there are countless young players who watch it, which will make everyone think that these children have a problem with their brains.

They know that it is precisely because these children cannot afford to consume those high-flying games that they play games like Little Beasts.

Although the picture quality is a little worse, the price is also cheaper.

Game consoles and games combined, there may be a few times when you don't have a masterpiece worth a lot of money.

Coupled with the maturity of hardware technology, although it is inevitable that there will be some minor problems, a skilled player has become proficient, even if his machine has been shattered into a pile of parts, when he wants to play, pull out this pile of parts from the drawer, assemble it in a few clicks, and then start playing.

If you want to experience the fun of assembling in the future, you can continue to play like this.

If you don't want to, you can just fix it with tape or something.

Recently, children have started talking about a free game, and that free game is Anti-Terrorist Operations.

"Have you heard? Wanhu actually launched a free game, which seems to be called "Anti-...... What's wrong?"

"Anti-Terrorist Operation!"

"Yes, it's Anti-Terrorist Action! I've heard that you don't have to pay a penny to play this game, but it's never been before! I want to play it too, but it's just ...... It's just that my home computer is not connected to the Internet, so I can't play ......"

"I've heard that as long as that's it, that's it, you'll be able to access the Internet. As long as you don't play for a long time, even if your parents think that the phone is too much, they will not suspect you!"

"Yes, is that so? Great! I'm going to go back and try it now!"

"What's the hurry, what if you finish it and find out that you don't like the game?"

"That'...... So what to do?"

"Come on, come with me to the Internet café, let's go see what this game is like!"

"Okay, let's go!"

This is the conversation between two young children.

With the development of the Internet, what used to be computer rooms has now begun to evolve into Internet cafes.

Although many of the people who come to the Internet café to surf the Internet are gamers, there is also a group of people who come to the Internet café to watch online videos or chat about forums.

As soon as the Internet café appeared, it swept the entire United States with a posture that far surpassed that of a computer room.

Even in terms of quantity, it surpasses the arcade hall.

In the United States, there are still many arcade halls today. But the craze for arcades has dropped a lot.

Although in the early years, the popularity of arcade games was already declining.

But fighting games, the whole genre that players love, have greatly extended the life cycle of arcades in North America.

However, although fighting games are becoming more and more popular, their popularity has begun to decline little by little.

The fight between two super-sized characters is certainly interesting, but after so many years of training, the master and the low player can be quickly distinguished even if they are not in the same game.

Masters of course like to abuse other players themselves and enjoy the pleasure of it.

But why do low-handed people keep not abusing and keep playing?

Video games have now become a kind of blooming attitude, and if you don't play this game well, it doesn't mean that other games don't play well.

Therefore, low-handed players, or grassroots players, are still greatly lost.

Without the grassroots, how can the system be maintained?

Every new fighting game is played by the old cannons, and new players simply ignore the fighting game.

Some of the old guns that were originally more powerful have now become new grassroots, so the loss of players is like peeling an onion, passing layer after layer.

The entire genre is inevitably in decline.

And the arcade hall has also been divided, there are a number of arcade halls that specialize in the latest arcade machines, and some are beginning to play the nostalgic card, the latest game consoles in the arcade hall, I am afraid that not all of them came out in 1990.

For example, "Pac-Man", "Donkey Kong", and "Iron Plate" are the most popular arcade games in such arcades.

The reason why this kind of arcade hall was born is also because the young people who played these games at the beginning are now entering middle age.

They can't accept new things, and even if they do, they seem very clumsy.

But the games they played when they were younger, they were still very flexible.

Therefore, they have precipitated and provided a breeding ground for this nostalgic arcade hall.

It's a little lonely to say, but after all, life is easy to get old.
