Chapter 64: Don't Do Evil

Piracy can disappear overnight, and such things have happened before and will happen in the future. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It will happen for the simple reason that it is a matter of interest.

Why is it that in a country where piracy is rampant, sometimes domestic games, although they are more rubbish, but there is no piracy.

This is because they care about the market in this country, and they will tear up with these pirated websites, and these pirated websites, after a slight change of thinking, will also carry out a wave of emotional publicity, and use the traffic of their own websites to sell games with an agent.

If it is a foreign game, with a domestic company that has obtained the copyright, after being greeted, they will also remove the pirated game from the shelves and promote the genuine game instead.

Because, what they care about is not genuine games at all, or pirated games. All they care about is eyeballs, traffic, and money.

As long as you have money, everything is easy to say.

As a result, most of the statements made by these pirate sites can be ignored. They really don't like video games, they don't really pursue technology.

Perhaps, they are pure at first, but as long as they develop to a certain stage, they will inevitably pursue profits.

After all, you can't eat purely, you can't dream, and if you want to live, you have to be able to eat enough.

Therefore, Hayashi and even Chiba Games actually don't particularly care about piracy in most countries. Of course, it refers to those less developed and developing countries.

Because, even if piracy is eliminated, most people in these countries will not be able to play genuine games.

And if they don't play pirated games, then, they won't be able to accept the influence of Chiba games. It is quite possible that when they have the financial strength, they will not be users of Chiba games.

Therefore, to a certain extent, Chiba Games uses pirated games as a means to cultivate potential paying players.

In fact, Chiba Games does not only use such means in the field of games, but also in the field of online novels.

After all, a large part of people who read online novels actually don't have enough spending power. There is so much entertainment in the real world.

Online novels are not the most eye-catching form of entertainment. After all, to read a novel, you still have to use your imagination to construct specific scenes in your mind.

For example, when watching Hollywood blockbusters, European and American blockbusters, you don't need to be so troublesome, everything is done, you don't need to think about it, just move your mouth and eat popcorn.

Therefore, even if it is an online novel, it has the influence of piracy to bless itself. Its influence is still difficult to surpass that of a popular movie series.

Of course, this is not absolute. Because, these entertainment methods are not isolated and opposed to each other, and these entertainment methods, in many cases, can be transformed into each other.

A theme that is very popular in its field is likely to be transplanted to another form of entertainment.

Because, being prosperous in one of these fields has already shown his value.

Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that various derivative works have been born.

It's like online novels and video games, in fact, in the early stage, video games played a role in giving online novels a blood transfusion.

In online novels, a large number of settings of games that have been released are used, and there is even a category of online game novels.

Later, after the rise of online novels such as Fantasy Xianxia, they in turn provided ideas and themes for video games.

Because of the relationship of time, because of the relationship of users.

On the mobile phone platform of Chiba games, a large number of excellent fantasy fairy tale games have appeared.

Of course, these games are available online and single-player.

There are also a variety of ways to play.,In addition to the kind of direct monster upgrades.,There's also a card-based one.。 Of course, some people say that these games are a different shell on the face of traditional games.

Lin Yan is actually very familiar with this, and this matter has also happened in this world.

However, it is much easier than the state that Lin Yan faced in another world.

Although, the turnover of online games, at some point, has surpassed that of traditional single-player games.

However, single-player games still have a place in the world, and all kinds of excellent games are still being born.

If you say that the top masterpiece is an unhealthy investment model, once the game dies violently, it will be fruitless.

Indie games, then, are an oasis.

Every year, 100,000 indie games hit the warehouse, and every year there are a few games that are eye-catching enough.

Due to the low cost, many VCs have fallen in love with these indie games. As a result, the status of indie game producers has risen.

At the beginning, I still have to look at the results of making games.

Later, it was almost like waving money and looking for a game developer.

Of course, most of the investments are meaningless, and most of them end up being wasted.

However, this is the same as gold panning, it is indeed an opportunity, of course, it is not the investors themselves who may find gold.

First it heated up quickly, and then, the heat dropped somewhat.

However, even so, the indie game market is still a hot money market.

Because, indie games, in fact, mean a kind of small to big.

The best indie game has now reached tens of millions of sales.

You know, there are only a few works in this world that can reach tens of millions of sales.

Even if the price of an indie game is only one-tenth of that of a top-tier blockbuster. However, the development cost may be less than one thousandth.

Compared to the top masterpieces, if you don't buy three million copies, you will lose money, and indie games are obviously a gold mine.

If you invest in a top masterpiece, if you can invest in a thousand indie games, then these thousand indie games, unless they are particularly unlucky, are all rubbish, otherwise, there is always a probability that a boutique will be born.

Of course, in the eyes of many people, such an approach is like gambling. It's like buying a thousand chests and not knowing what's inside, and then, after a while, poking them open one by one to see if there are any gold and diamonds in them.

Some people have earned it, and some people have lost it.

However, those who have enough money and have invested enough in projects will make money after all. Again, it's a matter of probability.

This is how capital-capital keeps snowballing.

A small investor, probably pouring out his possessions, playing a little game, and then failing.

And a big bourgeoisie, he invested 10,000 small games, ten of which reached the level of high-quality products, and he made a profit.

And in the process, he actually just needs to throw money at it. He doesn't have to worry about anything else.

Chiba Games is now taking the route of basically such a big capital-home, and there are too many games to invest in.

It doesn't matter if it's internal, it's external, whether it's first-party, second-party, or third-party.

As long as it is demonstrated, it is valuable, and after determining a stop-loss line, a part of the money will be invested.

Of course, there has been some restraint recently, and the initial thing I did was just to invigorate my own game platform.

I don't know how many times I've said it, but a platform that doesn't have enough games is not called a platform, and a platform that doesn't have enough good games is not called a game platform.

Of course, there are also people who are disgusted with such behavior as Chiba games. They are very much against such a practice as Chiba Games.

In fact, after a little investigation, Chiba Games knew that the source of these opponents came from those investors.

They felt that Chiba Games was too overbearing.

And they also managed to fool a group of game-makers to coax them.

What to say about Chiba Games' investment is ruined indie games. At this time, no one thinks about who makes indie games prosper.

Of course, this is perfectly normal. It would be strange if there was no objection. In fact, any large company, or a country, will have people who oppose him.

Because, there are enough samples, there are always so many strange and special cases.

For example, if someone's game console breaks down and goes to the maintenance department, the maintenance department has a bad attitude. Although this maintenance department is outsourced, the pot is always Chiba Games.

Of course, in addition to this case, there are also people who oppose for the sake of opposition.

Among these people who oppose for the sake of opposition, there are those who bring their own dry food to oppose it, but many more still take money.

Sometimes, after a little research, you will find that there are not so many pure and clean lands in this world.

Because, as long as there is a place of interest in this world, there is actually a transaction.

Some people trade their own labor, and they do not steal or rob, which is very honorable.

And some people trade what they steal and rob, which can be regarded as mental and physical work, so they also feel very honored.

Many people even preach about how many people they have deceived. I deceived 10 more people today, and I have deceived 100,000 people this year. They will speak out loud and despise those who are deceived by them, who are low IQ and have no brains.

However, they also have no good attitude in front of those who can expose their lies. It's also scolding and scolding.

So, do they like others not to be stupid and not be deceived, or do they like others to be stupid and be deceived?

Of course, where there is hot money, there will be no shortage of people who want to get hot money.

In fact, many investors have not seen any kind of person, and they can tell whether a person is a liar or not in many cases.

But why do they sometimes, against the intuition of ordinary people, choose those liars who seem unreliable?

It's not because they're stupid. It's because they like some of the qualities of this liar.

For example, a liar especially likes to talk about feelings and craftsmanship, although after actual contact, he finds that this person is not very capable.

However, what this man said, many people believed. Many people believe in this person, as a spiritual idol.

So, such a scammer, should he invest? Absolutely!

Even, in the eyes of many investors, such scammers are much better than those who seem to be more reliable and pragmatic.

Because, such a person can bring popularity and consumption, and he basically can't lose money.

You see, when it comes to this, it's still a matter of interests.

Therefore, many projects that are stupid in the eyes of many people, why there are many investors who invest, is because they are optimistic about the ability of this stupid project to fool people, and they no longer hope that there will be really stupid people to take over.

Actually, there really aren't very few such people.

Because of information asymmetry. Because some people trust some people. In fact, some people get enough money.

As for those who trust them, they don't care. It's real to be able to make money.

So, to a certain extent, capitalists are inhumane, they are only the personification of capital.

The choices they make are basically not contrary to the interests they represent. Occasionally, there are some people who disobey, and these people will also be hung by other capitalists.

Because, in their opinion, such a person is not right and needs to be punished.

In fact, if you want to observe whether an industry is occupied by capital. Actually, it's very easy.

For example, in the early days of the video game industry.

There may be no capital at all, as long as you rely on a good enough game, you can rise quickly.

Nowadays, even a good game is useless. What is really needed is the investment of investors.

Because, the investment of investors not only represents the investment of money, but also represents their strength in all aspects.

For example, the influence of Chiba Games in the field of video game industry, for example, the channel of Chiba Games in the game industry.

If you don't accept investment from Chiba games or other capital, it may be considered an excellent game, as long as it doesn't reach the level of the earth-shattering ghosts. There is basically no day to get out.

Because, Chiba Games can use capital to quickly copy a game.

In fact, there are several companies in China that are good at doing this.

Start from one field, monopolize one field, and then use the power of monopoly to monopolize more fields.

Many people can understand who these companies really are.

Many of these companies have done evil. Because, it is too easy for them to do evil, maybe after they have done it, as a user, they don't know such a thing at all, and they don't feel it at all.

As a result, some large companies will specifically claim that they are not evil.

However, if you say that you don't do evil, don't you do it?

This is a question well worth exploring.

For example, Chiba games, although Hayashi and Chiba Yuki are both more idealistic people, but sometimes they have to do that.

There's no way around it.

Therefore, how to maintain the bottom line is a test for many large companies. (To be continued.) )
