Chapter 264: The Era of Free Games for All
This kind of industry that leaks source code is completely hurtful to others and hurts itself. This is also the advantage of Actoz.
Because both companies are cooperatives, leaking the source code does Actoz no benefit at all. So, at the time of this show in China, Cui Xiong made good use of his advantages. The charge of deliberately leaking the source code was completely pushed out. But, in fact, he didn't say it entirely.
Actoz has now developed an online game that is exactly the same as Legend, called Legend 3, which is now in trial operation in South Korea, and is signing a contract with Guangtong in the early stage. Just ask, when the legendary private service comes. Then, Legend 3 is the only legend that does not have a private server, and when the time comes, our legend will naturally end. Actoz can continue to promote their legend, and moreover, they can get a relatively high royalty on Guangtong......"
In fact, Chen Tianqiao also changed a concept in his explanation.
Actoz developed Legend 3 to be good, but not to replace Bloody Legends. But now, Chen Tianqiao has also taken advantage of this, using the legend 3 he developed as a major strategy to crack down on Shanda Network.
"It seems that Actoz's explanation still has a lot to say."
At this time, the host "Lina" turned the topic to several experts and said bluntly, "If Actoz did not leak the source code, then, is it possible for the legendary private server to appear?" ”
"It can't be."
Several experts denied it together, and explained that "if the private server investor does not have the legendary source code, then he must not be able to open a private server server." And where the legendary source code comes from, it can only be obtained from the hands of R&D companies. In addition, by cracking, it is basically impossible to crack...... I haven't heard of any company that can crack the source code of such a large game. ”
Don't look at Microsoft's large number of piracy, it is a deliberate piracy strategy to seize the world market. If Microsoft doesn't want you to pirate, you can, that's weird. A piece of software, his source code, is secretly hidden. It is not open source, and it is basically impossible for the other party to decompile the deep kernel source code.
At least, with the technology in the world now, it is impossible to do it. Microsoft's system has been popular for so long, and its kernel program is still unknown to anyone. Even a whole bunch of hackers around the world didn't do it.
Chen Jiayi is so good, even if he has the technology in 2011, he can't do anything with Microsoft's operation system. Otherwise, if he has the strength to directly open source Microsoft's system, Microsoft would have been finished a long time ago.
"Unless ......"
"Unless what?"
"Unless an alien comes and uses technology that is 100 years ahead of us, he can crack the source code from the client."
At this time, there was a German expert who made a joke.
This may seem like a joke, but it all represents. The only way to get the source code is to get it from the R&D company. Even if it's an agency, if the R&D company doesn't disclose the kernel source code, you won't be able to see it.
Subsequently, ABC conducted different interview programs.
Most of the content of the whole show basically completely overturned the PR campaign that Actoz had done before. Moreover, ABC is the most authoritative TV station in the United States, and its influence is very wide. The show has just been launched, and it has spread all over the world in an instant. Especially for Chinese audiences, when this episode of the show was broadcast to China, many netizens sang it well.
When I saw a program on a TV station before, I thought I had wronged Actoz. Unexpectedly, Actoz's public relations activities were so strong that the domestic TV media could buy it. Now that you can see it, even the most authoritative ABC TV station in the United States has also interviewed Shanda. And, in the program, Shanda Network completely explained Actoz's various oppressive behaviors. First, the royalty fee was raised, and then the contract was threatened, and when the threat was not successful, the source code was directly leaked.
Later, Legend 3 was introduced. Trying to use Legend 3 to regain the status of a legend is really clever. It's a pity that Shanda Network doesn't eat this set. A complaint brought Actoz to the Singapore Court of Justice.
Many media said that no matter who wins or loses this lawsuit, he has brought a bloody lesson to online games all over the world. In the future, when you play the game as an agent, maybe, you have to think about more things. Otherwise, the developer is likely to use the contract in hand to blackmail you.
Fortunately this time, Actoz leaked the source code and was seized by Shanda. However, this may not be the case in the future. Developers will definitely be extra careful not to make any mistakes. As for the agents, the road to be walked in the future will not be too long. After all, the way out of this kind of success or failure is controlled by the developer, and it will not be very wide.
In the future, the road of the Internet will still be the same as that of the Tang Dynasty network. Have a well-read development team, and then, take this opportunity to gain a place in the online game market.
Just when many media were looking forward to this lawsuit, Shanda Network issued a statement again a month later, "Domestic Legend will fully develop itself in the future and cut off any contact with Actoz." ”
When the news was announced, Actoz was furious.
What is independent research and development, this legend is mine. Why do you have independent research and development, but now this lawsuit has not yet begun. After the lawsuit is over, Actoz will have time to sue Shanda.
In the face of Shanda's tough style, a large number of Chinese people were surprised. Unexpectedly, Shanda Company was so fierce that it regarded Actoz Company as nothing. How could a company like this not support it. For a while, even netizens who don't play legends are greatly admired when they see Shanda's style. Invisibly, the image of Shanda Company has been established in China.
He's no longer a small game company. It is a company that is the same as the Tang Dynasty network, winning glory for the country. Look, in such a situation, Shanda Company can still maintain the spirit of the Chinese people, such a game company, I don't support anyone.
Just when netizens erupted into great passion, Shanda's legend was fully updated and the latest version was launched. And, this version, creates a new era of gaming.
"Bloody Legends, free forever. Ten thousand people work together to build a legend. ”
Its legendary games can be played without any point cards or any RMB. Moreover, after the announcement was issued, it still cracked down on the major private servers, directly saying that those private service investors were all Korean investment manufacturers. They have a close relationship with Actoz in South Korea. If you go to play private servers, you will send money directly to Korean companies.
Now, you don't have to play private servers at all, because Legends is completely free.
On the same day, major news media, especially game portals, made a big blow to Shanda's move.
17173 claims that if Bubble Hall is just a free-to-play game by Shanda, then Legend's free-to-play is a strategic breakthrough.
Yes, when you're not free-for-all, you have no idea how tempting it can be for players. Look, the domestic private server, his completely free operation model, I don't know how many players it has attracted.
According to statistical data reports, since the launch of domestic private services, although the number of official servers has dropped significantly, only 300,000 people have been online at the same time. However, the number of private server players has increased to 500,000 all of a sudden. This extra hundreds of thousands are completely other gamers. Or, some players who have never played a game before. When they learned that the private server was free, they rushed into a frenzy.
That's free, that's the glory of free.
Just an hour after the article was issued, Shanda Network once again came with good news, "The number of legendary online users has exceeded 550,000. ”
The original Legend had a maximum online count of 500,000, but recently it has fallen to 300,000 under the influence of the Legend Private Service. Unexpectedly, just after the launch of the free service, in just a few hours, all private server players fully returned. Not only did it break the original record, but it increased by 50,000.
This number is not the final record.
Because, the current time is only 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and today is just an ordinary day. By eight o'clock in the evening, or by the time of the weekend, the legend still has an outbreak. In the time that followed, many game media had already saved the written news in the document, and the title had already been written, which brought us inspiration for free.
In this case. It won't take long to break through 600,000 online, and that's entirely possible. Perhaps, a breakthrough will be made in a while. They prepare earlier and release early.
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Shanda Network once again released good news, and the number of legendary online users exceeded the 600,000 mark, reaching 650,000.
"Oh my God."
I thought that being able to break through 600,000 was already a remarkable achievement. Unexpectedly, only a moment later, an additional 100,000 people were online at the same time. At this rate, it really feels like an ethereal journey. Judging from the survey data, although some of these new players are other games that have run into legends, more of them are friends who have never played a game.
The legend of the hero, as soon as his prop charging model came out, the game market development was vividly developed.
Originally, everyone thought that this market, under the development of most game companies, had slowly saturated. Unexpectedly, a free one appeared. What is saturated, and how big is that untapped market. Look, Shanda dares to be the first in the world to launch a free game. That part of the market was greatly robbed.
A lot of game companies are starting to get angry, and these users don't spend money. But when they get into the game, how can the charm of the game not cost them money. I'm afraid that let them play for two or three days, and everyone wants to rush some yuan. Anyway, didn't it also rush to the point card before. Now rush a little, completely talking about the past.
This is not only that, those gangsters, facing free, finally began to show their power. On the same day, more than a dozen guys rushed 300,000 yuan into the game in a fit of anger. In the face of such crazy players, the legend of Shanda Network is more profitable than the point card fees at that time.
Such a hot situation has made all game manufacturers stunned, and at the same time, they have also seen another way. This disguised charging model is really tempting. Just ask, even if you don't like to play games, you might go in and play it for free. When it's time to play, you'll feel the charm of the game.
In the history of the development of online games in later generations, it is claimed that "it is the legendary prop fee that has opened the era of free games for all." ”
