Chapter 305 Operational Decision-Making Power
"Let's not talk about the advantages and disadvantages of casual games and action competitions, let's talk about the simple and crude mode of Demon Domain. There will still be a market in the short term, but I am sure that it will soon be eliminated from the market. You must know that domestic gamers are also growing, and if NetDragon keeps launching similar games, the advantage is to cultivate a group of die-hard fans, and the disadvantage is to lose more players. Hang Yu said.
"Anyone can say it, but it's not that simple to put into practice. Liu Luyuan shook his head and said.
Who doesn't want to make a game with top-notch graphics, top-notch action, and super competitive fun. The problem is the difficulty of design, the difficulty of technology, and the top game is not something that can be made by any online game company.
NetDragon has a stockpile of 3D gaming technology to prepare for the future.
However, in terms of game design, NetDragon's concept is relatively conservative and cannot keep up with the times.
Many players think that the key to whether a game is good or not depends on the technology, but this is not the case. No matter how good the game development technology is, it is all at this level, and the key to whether a game is good or not lies in the overall design.
There are some popular games that are not very technical in their own right, and they all rely on new and interesting settings to attract players. But the setting of this thing should not be messed around, it should be balanced and reasonable, and it should be in line with the player's receptivity.
How to balance the game screen, action competition and many other aspects, and there are still fresh and practical gameplay. It's a very difficult thing to do, and it's so difficult that every character, every dungeon, every piece of equipment, every skill is designed.
"Because it's difficult, do you want to keep going the same way? Hang Yu said.
A question made the faces of the two brothers Liu Luyuan ugly, because they did have this kind of thought. It's not easy to make a successful game, and the Liu brothers have grasped this route, so naturally they won't try their luck again.
The money and technology are not strong enough to touch this luck.
"There is absolutely no thing in this world that is very simple, comfortable to do and can be successful. There are things to learn from your product, but there are many more things that need to be changed. Hang Yu said.
"Radicalization is useless to us, I know better than you what games are more popular. Liu Dejian said that he was unhappy that Hang Yu had repeatedly pointed out NetDragon's problems and vetoed some of NetDragon's achievements.
"Are you sure, then you can tell me whether the DNF will be popular in China. Hang Yu said.
Liu Dejian and the others thought about it, but they really couldn't say about it.
It stands to reason that after the introduction of popular Korean games to the mainland, the performance will generally not be bad. But DNF is a really special game, and the operation of the 2D arcade mode is really a bit outdated.
The era of arcades has passed, and an online game combining arcade and role-playing and action competition has suddenly emerged, and everyone is not sure about the bottom line of DNF and the player's acceptance of it.
According to Du Zhenhua's investigation, Shanda is negotiating with the South Korean side about the agency of the DNF.
However, Shanda's internal department in charge of game evaluation believes that DNF is a 2D game, and it is also an arcade type, and is not optimistic about the future of DNF, so it has been pressing the proxy conditions.
This is also one of the reasons why DNF's agency rights were taken away by Tencent for more than a year under the competition of major companies. Several major game giants, with such a professional evaluation team, are uncertain about the future of DNF in the mainland, let alone Liu Shengjian and the others.
It is worth mentioning that Shanda's game evaluation department is all invited returnees with master's degrees and doctors, and these people do not directly play games to judge whether they are good or bad, and use mathematical evaluation methods that are difficult for ordinary people to understand to evaluate games.
"We haven't been an agent, so it's hard to accurately assess the future of a game, and I personally think that if DNF is introduced to the mainland, the results should not be as popular as in South Korea, but it won't be too bad. If you want to score, DNF should be able to score six. Liu Dejian thought for a long time and said an evaluation that he thought was very rational and thoughtful.
"Why is it not as popular as South Korea, is there any difference between the two countries?" Hang Yu asked with a smile.
"On the surface, it is almost the same, but there is still a big gap between the habits of players in the two countries and the game environment. You should know that South Korea's game industry is very developed, so Korean players also pay more attention to the action operation and competitiveness you just mentioned. However, the domestic game environment and atmosphere are different, and domestic players prefer simple and rough gameplay. Liu Dejian said.
"I don't think so, the mainland game industry is indeed backward, but from the Stone Age to the Legend to the World of Warcraft, I believe that the mainland game industry has developed rapidly. The experience requirements of domestic players for games are faster than the development speed of the game industry. In fact, the process of industrialization, modernization of our country itself is very fast, isn't it. From bicycles entering homes, to motorcycles and private cars entering people's homes, the process is just like our game environment, and the demands of players have increased. Hang Yu said.
"There's some truth to what you're saying, but DNF doesn't seem to be a very advanced game, but has regressed to the arcade era. According to you, the DNF is even less popular in the mainland. Liu Dejian said.
"Let's make a bet on how popular DNF is in the mainland. Hang Yu said.
"I don't like bets. Liu Dejian said.
"If you win the bet, I can take a stake in NetDragon unconditionally. Hang Yu said.
When Liu Dejian and the others heard this, they were immediately very moved, and the unconditional shareholding meant that Hang Yu only took the money and didn't care about anything.
The two old horses own less than 10% of the company's shares, but they are the well-deserved bosses of the company. Why? Because they always have the power to make operational decisions, even if there is financing from major shareholders, they have to sign contracts to hold on to power.
The same is true for Liu Dejian and the others, they don't mind big capital shares, but the company's operational decision-making power will never be ceded. Because as long as they seize the right to operate, even if they only have 10% of the shares, they are the owners of the company.
"Okay, I'll make a bet with you. Liu Dejian and the two glanced at each other, they still believed in their own vision.
"I bet that DNF's popularity index in the mainland can reach more than eight points, and if it doesn't reach eight points, I will unconditionally invest in NetDragon. If it reaches more than 8 points, I hope you can let me participate in the operation of NetDragon's game business. Hang Yu said.
"I bet that DNF's popularity index in the mainland can reach about six points, and it will never exceed eight points. Liu Dejian said.
What is the concept of a popularity index of more than eight points, it is definitely a large-scale online game that is popular in the mainland.
DNF, there is no such potential.
Thinking so in his heart, Liu Dejian was still a little nervous, for fear that a miracle would happen.
Then he shook his head secretly, where did there be so many miracles.
