Chapter 120: The Dangers of Goldfinger (Three Watches)
Lin Feng can see the potential crisis of the quasi-stand-alone operation of online games, can't other online game companies see it?
Of course not, this shijie will never lack smart people, and naturally there are people who see the hidden danger in this. But they resolutely chose to do so, in addition to the company's limited funds, the profit is too low to operate, but also more of the "second shijie" jealousy.
Why is it that after "Second Shijie" seized the absolute market share in "Legend", a casual online game can also occupy so much market share, almost monopolizing the entire market. Although there are still a few tower defense games launched by several companies to support the banner of resistance to the "second shijie" and avoid the situation of letting the "second shijie" dominate the online game, these companies are maintaining the current situation at the cost of permanent free.
Therefore, many online game companies have chosen to modify it to a "quasi-stand-alone game". Sooner or later, players will find out, but they're not afraid. Originally, they didn't make any profits, and even lost money to make money, and no matter how fierce the players were, it was none of their business. What is really affected is the "second shijie", and Lin Feng is the one who is wronged.
Players are blind and impulsive, as long as they provoke appropriately, players will eventually vent all this frustration of being played on the "second shijie", and then they can sit back and enjoy it. Even if they mess up the casual online game market because of this, they don't care.
The barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes - this is the mentality of many online game companies - since you make us unable to make money, we also make it impossible for us to make money.
This idea is extremely dirty, and this method is extremely despicable, but in this era when shopping malls are like battlefields, and in the context of deceit, life and death, their approach is understandable.
But they're gambling with the integrity of an online game company. Of course, when the time comes, the trouble will be too big, and these online game companies can apply for a new license and re-list under a different name. On the contrary, if the "second shijie" collapses in these crises, it will not be so easy to establish the "second shijie" brand.
Don't talk about the "Four Heavenly Kings" at that time, I'm afraid that the "Eight Heavenly Kings" will not be able to restore the credibility of the "Second Shijie".
"Plan ahead?" Wu Zhaopu was stunned.
"Yes, yes. We must take precautions and give players vaccinations in advance before the crisis breaks out!" Lin Feng nodded and said, "Immediately release a message on the official to warn players not to use cheat tools such as cheating, otherwise we will permanently ban the account after three warnings." ”
"Goldfinger?" Wu Zhaopu was stunned, he rarely played games and didn't know what Goldfinger was.
Goldfinger is a game modification tool. Originally produced by Nintendo (NINTENDO) (GB) and Nintendo DualScreen (NDS) series of handheld game consoles, this tool can be used to modify the content of the game, so that players can quickly increase their money, liliang, level, power-ups, etc.!
Later, it spread to computer games and other platforms, and many players also referred to similar modding tools as "cheats".
Wu Zhaopu was surprised when he heard this, he couldn't believe that he had to use modification tools in order to play a game, so there was still fun in the game?
"Hehe, Mr. Wu, this is the refreshing feeling that you don't play games for a long time, and after playing for a long time, you will know that when you can't conquer the next game repeatedly, you can use the gold finger to modify it in that instant to pass the level or defeat a strong enemy. It's unbeatable, but it can also greatly reduce the fun of the game. Lin Feng sighed and said.
"Could it be that Lin Dong means that "Plants vs. Zombies" will also have players who use this golden finger?" After listening to Lin Feng's explanation, Wu Zhaopu knew the damage of golden fingers to online games. It's like a player in a game who suddenly has an artifact in their hands, and it's the kind of artifact that can sweep everything. While the players who use "Goldfinger" are happy, it disrupts the balance of the game, which is absolutely unfair to other players. At that time, if they are all modified with "goldfinger", then what fun will this game have.
"Hehe, not now. Because the game is always connected to the console, if the client reacts abnormally, the GM will immediately notice the abnormality and terminate the player's game window. Lin Feng said this, his face turned cold, "But if it is changed to a quasi-stand-alone game, this kind of gold finger will definitely prevail for a while." Hmph, they're digging their own grave. ”
This is also the biggest crisis of quasi-stand-alone games, without the real-time supervision of GM, it is impossible to put an end to the prevalence of cheating. Especially after Lin Feng launched nine levels and diverted players, the comparison between players became more and more popular. After all, some people are good at it, some people are not good at it, but no one wants to be compared, but what if you are really inferior to others? Naturally, I thought of using "Goldfinger", for the sake of face and honor, even if I spent money, and this directly stimulated the derivation of the "Goldfinger" market.
Wu Zhaopu nodded secretly, once the "golden finger" prevails, this game system will completely collapse, what 100 rounds, I'm afraid 1000 rounds can pass. Thinking of that scene, Wu Zhaopu felt chilled. At that time, it will not be the popularity that will be lost, I am afraid that even the credibility of a company will be completely lost, and I am afraid that it will not be a single company that will be implicated, but the entire online game market.
Thinking of this, Wu Zhaopu's face was even more worried, "Second Shijie" is now the overlord of the domestic online game industry, no matter what happens, the first thing to bear the brunt of is "Second Shijie", even if everything has nothing to do with "Second Shijie", it will also be implicated.
"I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, and the high place is unbearable. This is Su Shi's "Water Tune Song Head", but it can very well describe the situation of the "second shijie" now.
Lin Feng saw Wu Zhaopu's face full of melancholy, and he also knew his worries. However, Lin Feng is also very helpless in this regard, this time many online game companies have broken the kettle and dug their own grave for gambling, and Lin Feng is helpless.
"Don't worry too much, let's take one step at a time, we can only act according to the opportunity!" Lin Feng comforted.
"Yes. Wu Zhaopu knew that this was the only way to do it at present. Now it is a thousand shots, the "second shijie" can not move at all, the so-called pull a hair and move the whole body, with the current status and fame of the "second shijie", never dare to act rashly.
Of course, this is mainly because tower defense games like "Plants vs. Zombies" are so popular right now, in the face of tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of players, no one can guarantee how players will react, and no one knows how it will eventually develop, so they can only wait and see what happens.
"By the way, after half an hour, let all the servers take turns disconnecting every hour. Lin Feng suddenly shouted to Wu Zhaopu, who was about to leave.
Wu Zhaopu was stunned for a moment, not understanding what it meant.
"Hehe, I just want players to understand that our Plants vs. Zombies is an absolute online game, and once the connection is disconnected, it will not be able to play. Lin Feng smiled.
Wu Zhaopu thought about it for a while, and suddenly understood, and smiled. This is a good approach, at least to minimize the implication and harm suffered in the impending crisis.
Crisis is also an opportunity, and perhaps this time is also an opportunity for the "second shijie" to take off again!--Wu Zhaopu thought secretly in his heart.
Half an hour later, everyone who was struggling to overcome the second level of "Plants vs. Zombies" suddenly went dark and a few big words popped up.
"Sorry, your network is down, please wait a few minutes, I'm contacting the host. Three cute Q girls came out, looking at the many players in front of the screen with pitiful and innocent eyes. made the gamers who originally wanted to scold their mothers for interrupting them suddenly couldn't speak.
"That's so cute!" the crowd exclaimed.
The three Q version girls are none other than Li Zhiyou, Lin Zhizhi and Huang Meixi, and the three of them are particularly cute after the Q version. However, it still maintains the characteristics of three girls: the pure and lovely Li Zhiyou, the sexy and enchanting Lin Zhizhi, and the melancholy and noble Huang Meixi.
The picture on the screen ticked and ticked over time, the three girls moved the table and chairs, Lin Zhizhi began to clean, Huang Meixi didn't know what to draw on the table, and Li Zhiyou ran to the kitchen and was busy stir-frying. The three girls are busy with their own work, but they outline a warm family scene.
"Hello, the network has been reconnected, you can continue to play, there are many interruptions, I hope you forgive me!" The screen lit up, and a few lines of large characters appeared.
For some reason, there was a little regret in the hearts of the people, and they wanted to know what the three goddesses had done later. At that moment, the screen dimmed again.
The three girls are already busy with everything. Lin Zhizhi held the broom and spit out his tongue, sweating, his face was slightly red, and he smiled at the people in front of the screen. Lee Ji-woo held a steaming plate of delicacies and invited you to taste it, while Hwang Mi-hee turned over the drawing board that she had been painting on the table just now.
There is a painting on it: in a pastoral field, butterflies are flying. A girl is cleaning, a girl is busy stir-frying, and another girl is busy serving tea and pouring water, and a monitor in the middle of the picture, in front of a man who can't see his face clearly, is enjoying the service of the three girls, and the computer screen in front of the man is impressively displayed a line of words:
"Second shijie, looking forward to your eternal support!"
There was a sigh from everyone, and the man inside was so happy that he surrounded the three goddesses. The wolves howled, but their hearts began to YY, thinking that the boy in the painting was themselves.
Woo~~~, I must support the second shijie, and always support the second shijie!--everyone roared in unison.
After that, although the Internet was back open, everyone's enthusiasm for the game decreased slightly, and their minds were full of the scene in the painting just now, and they fantasized that they could one day become the boy in the painting.
"OH~~~, no~~~, I'm 99 rounds, my fourth level!" suddenly let out a miserable howl.
Everyone quickly gathered their minds and began to continue to tackle key problems.
With the disconnection of Wu Zhaopu's manipulation, this situation happened in turn in major Internet cafes. At first, everyone was extremely dissatisfied with the sudden disconnection, but in the end, they calmed down under the appeasement of the three extremely cute Q version goddesses, and also subtly accepted the belief in supporting the "second shijie".
All this was an idea that Wu Zhaopu came up with temporarily, giving everyone a YY space. Unexpectedly, it has been of great use today. What made Wu Zhaopu even more unexpected was that from then on, a large number of players would pull out the network cable if they were fine, waiting for the three Q version goddesses to appear, just to see more of that warm picture.
The butterfly effect has been slowly changing this shijie, and the system crash caused by the cheat and the integrity problems caused by the quasi-single-player game are also slowly accumulating, waiting for the day when it will erupt.
