In the market, there are few innovators and many followers. "Pac-Man" and "Space Invaders", sales have been so hot that of course followers are pouring in.

One month to watch the wind, one month to copy, one month to produce, and now it is just right to be introduced to the market. Phelan's reminders before leaving were all fulfilled at this moment.

Atari Inc., as the first person in video games. It has suffered greatly from the impact of copycat games. Nolan's response is to dump products and compress the living space of opponents.

Lin Yi was originally a small profit, of course he couldn't follow along: "Pence, patents, copyrights, trademarks, and similar game images, is the registration still smooth?"

The company's legal director couldn't help but compliment: "Except for the code copyright, everything else is going well." Although it costs a lot, it forms a solid barrier. The boss's foresight made the copyright defense battle in Heaven a lot easier all of a sudden!"

Lin Yi smiled: "This method can be used now." When there are more games in the future, it is impossible to succeed one by one. The cost of registering a copyright in this way is too high. ”

The other party complimented again: "With your wise leadership, the future will definitely be more successful games and fewer failed games." ”

"By the way, the copyright of the code, isn't the registration going smoothly?"

"No way, the video game industry has only been developing for a few years. The relevant laws and regulations are not yet perfect. ”

Lin Yi's face was full of regret: "It's a pity! The current game is too simple, and the imitation should not be too simple! Without this link, there will be a hole in the defense line." ”

In an instant, his expression turned cold again: "These two phenomenal games were developed by us. Those competitors, if they want to come to this market to grab food, have to ask Heaven if they agree! Spend a lot of money and build a series of barriers, just for this moment. We must actively attack, use the weapon of law, and constantly whip those who follow the trend!"

Pence expressed his concerns: "Some infringement lawsuits have little chance of winning, and even if they win, the costs paid to us will not be enough to compensate for the costs." So, do you want to give up some? Otherwise, after the lawsuit, the company will lose money!"

Lin Yi was categorical, and his tone could not be refused: "All of them will be sued in court, and no one will be spared." In this market, we must show our fangs!"

After that, he issued an order, and other departments of the Heavenly Company fully cooperated with the legal department and acted quickly.

The enemy cannot be let go, and the development of Paradise Company is naturally more important. Lin Yi's top priority is the development of new games. No one has me, and no one has me, which is the only way to compete.

After a few job fairs, the company's game development department is now full of talent. Atari's large team of 200 people, although it is not comparable for the time being, but planning, design, art, and music are also readily available.

The average salary of a game developer is twice as high as that of the average worker. All Lin Yi has to do is to drive them, how much grass to eat, and how much milk to produce.

Shooting action, sports competition, racing and flying, chess and card leisure, role-playing, strategy and strategy, adventure puzzle solving, love development. The boss gave a lot of ideas in one breath.

However, Tom has an opinion: "The boss's idea is great, but the concept is so hungry that I drool!" However, it is still the same old problem - either the technology is not enough to implement it for the time being, or the cost is too high to be suitable for development at the moment. ”

Lin Yi has always been very patient in this department: "It is a strategic decision of the company to launch a second-generation game and seize the commanding heights of the market. Since there are so many problems, do you as technicians have any alternatives?"

Jack has an opinion: "People are superior to me, and this way is very correct." Since version 2.0 doesn't work, let's tinker and have a version 1.2. If the opponent keeps up, let's play 1.5. Keep stretching them so that the player can see the gap. ”

The matter was settled, but this amount of work was not enough for the team to plug their teeth! So Lin Yi proposed to develop some simple new games.

Wang Jie became excited: "Let's have a brainstorming! At Atari Company, everyone often sits in a circle and daydreams together. No matter how outrageous the idea is, it will not be ridiculed. Work and play, new ideas are coming up all the time!"

This kind of 'brain hole' conference, Lin Yi has really heard of it. For reasonable opinions, he certainly approved the implementation.

Divergent thinking skills are highly valued by Americans. Students are praised for being imaginative when they say strange things. Because of regular training, the other people here have no smaller brains than Lin Yi.

Someone comes up with an idea, and the others immediately follow suit, filling in the details. As a result of the discussions, shooting, sports, and leisure were developed as the focus of development. These three types of games have flooded the market, and there is no technical difficulty at all.

At the end of the meeting, Tom leaned in: "Action-adventure, strategic chess, when I heard it, it tickled in my heart." The chip of the game console must be upgraded from at least 8-bit to 16-bit to achieve complex functions. ”

Looking at the other party's face, it didn't look like he was here to comfort people, so Lin Yi simply asked: "If you have something to say, just say it!"

"Boss, how about buying a mainframe computer? I will definitely be able to realize all your super inspirations!"

Lin Yi squinted at him: "What are you doing here, just for you to play with?

After Lin Yi arrived home, he told his girlfriend about the matter and helped her accumulate business experience: "If you want to upgrade your game console, you must first upgrade the chip." The technical foundation is not enough, this is the limitation of the times!"

Xiang Yanghua made a joke: "When I first came to the United States, I heard you say several times that you want to buy Intel shares. If you hold this company and ask for chip R&D upgrades, won't the problem be solved!"

Lin Yi showed his yearning: "Wave 10 billion to buy Intel, wave 1 billion, upgrade the chip." I believe that one day will come!"

After imagining the future, he began to think about reality. As the saying goes: half a step ahead is a genius, and one step ahead is a madman! And many of Lin Yi's ideas are too far ahead of the times, far more than one step!

The times have limitations, and he, as a traveler, also has limitations. Lin Yi and this era, just like a new car leaving the factory, still need to be run-in.

A month later, a new game from Paradise will be released at two ends in three days. These simple games are only a few K's in size. It only takes one or two people and three or four days to complete a development.

The boss looked very satisfied, and Xiang Sunhua teased her boyfriend: "These game types are already available on the market, and you are just imitating." I also want to sue others for infringement, but only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps!"

Lin Yihu said with a grimace: "You haven't looked carefully, we have really done a lot of improvement efforts." Paradise Games Company must become an industry leader, so why should we pay attention to the appearance of food!"
