Chapter 206: Seize the Opportunity
Wu Ming glanced down and saw that most of the people looked disapplieving, understanding that they didn't believe their inferences.
"Why, don't you believe me? Think I'm alarmist? I'm not going to talk in vain. Wu Ming sneered.
Then Wu Ming turned his head to look at his assistant Lu Junxiang and ordered, "Old Lu, show them the results of the investigation sent by Game Star magazine." ”
Lu Junxiang nodded, and then picked up a large stack of investigation lists next to him and sent them to everyone present one by one.
Wu Ming has been paying a lot of attention to the court between Atari and Activision, and after Atari lost the lawsuit, he immediately instructed Game Star to send someone to investigate the quality of the newly released games on the market. And this list carefully records the quality ratings of all the games released on the market after Atari lost the lawsuit.
"This, how is this possible!" someone exclaimed in a low voice.
"Can they still be game designers?!" someone whispered angrily.
"These people are the black sheep, and they are even more ugly than Atari in appearance!" someone clasped his hands tightly and said in a deep voice.
The checklist is a clear list of Game Star magazine's ratings for hundreds of games, as well as some statistic data.
Less than 10% of all games have achieved a passing score of 25, and you should know that 3 months ago there were 20% of games that achieved a passing score of 25. It's an exaggeration that after only a little time, the overall quality of the game has dropped to this extent.
And unlike before, most games did not reach a passing score of 25 points, but they also hovered around 15~35 points. Now there are a lot of games with single-digit scores, not even 10 points, no wonder the people of Star Entertainment are angry.
After all, under the influence of Wu Ming, Xingchen Entertainment believes that games are something that brings happiness to players, and they must be well-made. Not to mention that everyone is a game fanatic, but more than half of them are passionate about the gaming industry.
In the past, we were not used to developing junk games on Atari's Atari 2600 platform, and then using propaganda to cheat gamers out of their pockets. Now that I see other game companies going so far and developing even more rubbish games, how can I still be calm in my heart.
Wu Ming saw that many people below looked angry, smiled lightly, and said, "Now you believe it!"
When everyone heard this, they were silent.
In order to understand the market of the game market, under the call of the boss Wu Ming, they have tried to play games from other game companies. Especially some very garbage games and some really good games. Playing garbage games is to understand the shortcomings of those garbage games and avoid making mistakes like that yourself. And to play a good game, it is natural to learn their advantages and use them in the future to develop games.
So they know exactly how boring those extreme garbage games are. When they first tried it out, some people couldn't resist smashing the game's cartridges.
And after "Game Star" came out, there was a set of scoring rules, and some people deliberately found magazines to ask them to rate games that they were extremely unaccustomed to, and published articles to criticize them. For those games, the ratings given by Game Star magazine are all under 15 points, and most of them are only in the single digits.
You must know that they Xingchen Entertainment, even if it is a game developed by a newcomer, the worst has a score of more than 10, and since the establishment of the company, there are only two or three games that add up to less than 15 points. The others, even if they test the waters, have a score of nearly 20 points.
However, the rules of Xingchen Entertainment are that all works below the 25-point passing mark are abandoned, and they are not allowed to be listed and distributed at all. Unless it is a work with special merits, a special exception will be issued to allow it to be listed and distributed.
They really didn't believe that Atari would fall like this before, but after reading the data on the survey list, they all believed that the future was really possible as Wu Ming said, to paraphrase a phrase often said by the boss, that is, "if you don't die, you won't die".
Wu Ming bowed slightly, his face became serious, and he said: "Atari can't control the games on their platform at all, which means that the proportion of garbage games will continue to increase."
In the future, games that reach a passing mark of 25 points or more may not even be half a percent. There will be more and more games with a score of less than 10. It is possible that most games in the future will have a rating of less than 10 points.
So I speculated carefully that in a year at most, players who are fed up with garbage games will definitely be tempted to explode and start to boycott garbage games and boycott Atari. And this is a rare opportunity for us at Star Entertainment, and we must firmly grasp it. ”
Hearing Wu Ming say this, everyone below couldn't help but nod their heads, thoughtful.
Zhou Liang, the director of the platform technology development department, first spoke up and agreed: "Yes, Atari has been getting closer and closer to the death line, and after those garbage games drag Atari to death, it is time for us Star Entertainment to exert its power." ”
Cao Yongping nodded and smiled: "Now among the first-party game companies, apart from us Xingchen Entertainment, which other company will strictly supervise the games on the platform." Although the most famous game company is still Atari, in the minds of gamers, the representative of excellent games is still our Star Entertainment. After the defeat of Atari, if you want to save the game market, who else will I have?!"
"Well said," Wu Ming laughed and said arrogantly: "As a leader in the game industry, you should have this kind of spirit and momentum. As a leading company in the game industry, Atari didn't think about how to regulate the game market, and was bent on making money with junk games, and they suffered their own failures in the future.
It is the trend of the times for us to replace Atari with Star Entertainment and become the first in the game industry. For gamers, it's the best choice!"
"Bang bang bang!"
After Wu Ming finished speaking, there was a warm applause below.
Wu Ming stretched his hands forward, and then pressed down.
"Now you should understand why I wanted the host development team of the Platform Technology Development Department to develop a very strict copyright protection chip, right?" Wu Ming asked with a smile.
Zhou Liang blurted out: "Boss, you don't want us Star Entertainment to end up in the same fate as Atari." ”
When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized and nodded their heads.
When Wu Ming asked the console development team to develop a tight copyright protection chip for the PSB game console, most people were opposed. After all, the launch of the PSB console will be delayed a lot, and the development funds will be much more expensive.
It's just that Wu Ming is so determined, they can't resist him at all, so they can only compromise with him.
