Change your perspective a little bit and talk about something else.

In the game world of Japanese ---, there is such a famous sentence, which is about Ren Tangtian.

Note that Nintendo was written in this book, because I found that writing it basically didn't affect the reading.

I will never admit that there is any hand-pumping in this, nor will I admit that there are spelling mistakes in it.

cough, so this famous saying goes like this: If you love him, let him play Ren Tangtian, because Ren Tangtian is really heaven; hate him, let him play Ren Tangtian, because Ren Tangtian is really hell.

Well, this must be a well-known sentence, right?

In eight or nine years, Ren Tangtian released a handheld called GAMEBOY, which is the first generation of handhelds, and it can also be described as a fighter in the handheld.

In the 90 years since its release, cumulative sales have exceeded 20 million units.

Not only that, the hot sales of GB once became a social phenomenon, children on the road focused on handheld games led to car accidents have occurred repeatedly, it is very exaggerated that the Japanese --- authorities at that time had intended to ban GB sales, and then Ren Tangtian may have done some unknown transactions, this matter is over.

Even because of the name "GameBoy", this product was considered sexist by the Japan-Ben Women's Association and demanded a similar product called "GameGirl".

Feminist rights fighters have paid attention to this product, and you can imagine how hot it is.

Not to mention sales, just talking about the two games released above can make people how to raise this product: Super Mario and Tetris.

All of them are important products in the history of video games.

A successful handheld platform must have games that can sell well, otherwise no matter how perfect the hardware is, the product will not sell.

Super Mario has contributed to GB's success, but a game must have a lifespan, after which it will either be updated or revised, or it will go into decline.

Now, five or six years later, GB has been declining because there is no successor to Super Mario.

Ren Tangtian needed a game that could push GB to the top again.

Everyone knows the benefits of monopoly management, but basically monopoly is a difficult thing to do, homogeneous enterprises will launch homogeneous goods for market competition, when a product sells well, there will inevitably be a similar substitute commodity within a year, when a product sells crazy, no matter how high his technical content is, there may be two or three months of substitutes.

The quality of my products is not as good as yours, and the technology is not so advanced, but I sell it cheaper than yours, or even half cheaper, will anyone buy it? Can it be sold?

Of course, as long as the high-quality products are substitutable, plus the two points of cheap sales, with the momentum of hot sales, the products can always be sold, and even sell very well.

Behind Ren Tangtian, there is always a company called Sega......

Not only that, electronic technology is high-speed or even rapidly advancing, and it can be said that GB will encounter a cold reception in the market, because after ninety-four years, the console has entered the era of thirty-two, and the next-generation game with large capacity and high image quality is the focus of the game market.

So the GB tragedy.

But it hasn't been tragic enough to make Ren Tangtian give up completely...... IT'S HARD TO DESCRIBE THE GRIEVANCES HERE, BUT IT'S JUST THAT AFTER GB HIT A BOTTLENECK, A GAME DEVELOPER CALLED GAMEFREAK IS DEVELOPING NEW GAMES BASED ON IT, AND THIS GAME HAS ALSO RECEIVED THE ATTENTION OF REN TANGTIAN'S TOP MANAGEMENT.

The president of GF is named Tajiri Tomo, and he is a very thoughtful person, and most people only notice the cheapness and portability of GB, but he notices a more important feature than that: the connection communication function.

Based on this feature, they began to develop a handheld game that collects adventures.

For GF with limited development capabilities, the whole process was not more bumpy, and now they have encountered a bigger, more fundamental problem.

The issue is not technical, but copyright.

Their games may have been leaked and infringed.

At this time, the president of GF, Tomoshi Tajiri, and the head of the product development department were discussing this issue, and on the table in front of them was a manga magazine.

Weekly Junior ME.

At this time, their game had completed the framework design and compatibility testing, and the character drawing had just begun, and then they found out that ME was serializing this similar work in the comics, so of course they were surprised.

"Do we have any employees who have left during this time?" Tajiri asked the person in charge in front of him, he was very annoyed at this time, and when he encountered this kind of thing, the biggest possibility was that a departing employee leaked information about the game.

GF, a small club founded by a fan club of game enthusiasts, often left because of salary and other things, and they often left because of their salary and other things.

But the person in charge shook his head, and he said to Tajiri: "Since getting Ren Tangtian's support, our company's situation has stabilized, and it has not happened for a long time since I left my company. ”

"What about the people who left early, did any of them have access to these things?" The anger in his tone was still unabated, and as he spoke, Tajiri pointed his finger at ME on the table.

"No, we weren't there yet." The person in charge denied the possibility that the departing employee had leaked information.

"What about the current developers, is there a possibility that anyone has leaked game information?"

The person in charge thought about it, but still denied such thoughts, "I think it's unlikely, let's not talk about our confidentiality ability and sense of confidentiality, if the staff will really leak information for profit, then they will definitely not choose a comic publishing house, the first target of such a person must be a game development or publishing company, I don't think the comic book publishing house will give 'him' more benefits than a game company." ”

There are certain things that don't have the same value as a game as a manga.

"Is there any news on our patent application?"

"It's still under review."

"So let's not talk about how the intelligence was leaked, the key is what to do now? How can I stop this publisher from infringing on the offending? ”

The person in charge immediately stopped talking, it was not something he could decide.

After a moment of silence, Tajiri turned his head away from ME, then he stretched out his thumb and rubbed his eyebrows and said:

"First, tell Ren Tangtian about this matter."

"Second, send a lawyer's letter to this publishing house first, and ask them to stop the infringement." (To be continued.) )
