Chapter 48: Absurd and Reasonable
The world of video games is the same as ever, with old games coming to an end and new ones taking the stage.
However, it is clear that the development of the current world will not be so step-by-step. Although, every moment someone is born, and every moment someone dies.
However, events that can affect people's lives all the time really do not exist.
Recently, there have been many things that deserve a moment of silence. In these things, it is actually more difficult to say who is right and who is wrong.
It's not even easy to express your opinion.
Lin Yan didn't even do anything, he could only silently mourn for those who died.
There are some "right" things in this world, but they are not so true.
Of course, grief is always short-lived. Human beings are forgetful animals, and if everyone is going to grieve for tragedy all the time, then it is a question whether human society will still exist.
After all, everyone is destined to die when they are born. If everyone is sad every day for their doomed end, will human society still develop into what it is now?
Of course, most people forget about their deaths. Therefore, it is said that human beings are forgetful creatures.
There will even be people who have not been exposed to real death. Death is trivial.
After all, whether in film or television productions or video games, it seems that death is a commonplace.
Even, resurrecting a person is not a difficult task.
However, in real life, will there really be an angel who shouts heroic immortality in his mouth and can bring a person back from the dead?
Apparently not.
Lin Yan sometimes wonders whether the existence of such a thing as video games is correct, and whether such a thing as a video game should not exist at all.
Because, video games or any other entertainment, in a way, are just a waste of people's lives, and do not provide any real value.
Even, some people will waste their own lives and waste their lives to see others. From that point of view, video games are really not a good thing.
However, existence is reasonable. In this world, there are so many seemingly unreasonable things, but in fact, they all have their own rationality.
It is impossible for anyone to say that there is no entertainment. I'm working every day, working all the time.
This kind of people, who had no means of enjoying any entertainment, were called slaves a long time ago. Of course, there are still slaves in some dark corners of modern society.
Lin Yan is now presiding over the production of the game, which is more to show players an optimistic attitude. Of course, there is also the need to uncover some of the dark sides.
However, these things are the core of the ideas he wants to express. As for what the game looks like on the outside, it actually appears in the way that players like to see.
Just like the recent Chiba Games just launched "Squirting Squid Niang", and "Overwatch" launched by Blast Ice Entertainment.
Actually, there are some similarities between the two games. However, for players in some regions, the latter's reputation is obviously higher than the former.
Because, the former did not log in to the personal computer platform for the first time.
After all, the game of Chiba Games, in addition to the game itself, has to make money. There is another mission, which is to ensure the ownership of its own console platform, as well as other platforms.
After all, for a hardware manufacturer, if it loses the hardware platform, it will be nothing.
In fact, a buyout game like Overwatch is, to some extent, not very friendly to PC players.
Because, for some players, they have not played the so-called buyout game at all. Not only have they not played it on the console, but they have not played it on the computer, and they have not played it on their mobile phones.
Some people say, is this possible?
It's possible.
Because, the mobile phone they use is not the Chiba mobile phone of Chiba Games at all, but the mobile phone launched by someone else's compatible system.
And these mobile phones, although they have a large number of them, are the reason why many game manufacturers are reluctant to launch games on this platform.
It's because this platform is so open, it's like a Windows platform. Piracy is bound to run rampant.
As a result, there are many games that seem to have a high number of downloads, but the developers don't get half the money.
Correspondingly, there are those mobile online games, these mobile online games, on the one hand, the development cost is not very high, on the other hand, they can prevent the emergence of piracy.
Because,Online games have a server.,If you want to play.,You must have an account and password to log in.,Link to the server to play.。
And the most important aspect is that he can be free in the early stage, and then, through various means, induce players to spend.
By the time the players reacted, they had already spent a lot of money on the game.
At this time, if they don't add money to this game, it means that they "lose".
That's right, it's a loss.
They don't want to buy games that ask for money and feel that they don't think it's worth it, but these games that need to be recharged continuously to maintain a good gaming experience, they take the initiative to recharge.
Because, they feel that they have invested so much money, and if they don't invest anymore, it is really a big loss.
Lin Yan's company was actually a good hand at doing just that. Not only do they do that, but they also use various ways to renovate a game and make it more money.
At that time, mobile game manufacturers were basically a routine. As a result, artists are busier than programmers.
Lin Yan, it was also at that time that he had enough software and hardware theoretical foundation for old games. In this way, after he came to this world, he was able to conquer the vast number of people in a short period of time.
Let those who have never been exposed to video games quickly convert into players.
In fact, sometimes many people think that if they take the most popular top masterpiece and put it in the past, they will definitely be shocked by the players of the past.
In fact, it will not be like this for the most part.
Because, before it has developed to a certain extent, if you force players to come into contact with too "advanced" games. They don't move.
To put it simply, it is housewives, mothers, they can happily play red and white machines, but they will not touch those handles, which makes people feel very unfriendly and feel that they can't press the game consoles.
Therefore, each generation of Chiba Games consoles will come with a simple controller.
Although, this controller will not be adapted to some games. However, it allows mothers to use such a simple controller to play games on the console that are not so complicated and easy to entertain.
Sometimes, housewives are the key factor in deciding whether to buy a game console or not. Therefore, with a controller that costs less than a dollar, Chiba Games has captured thousands of housewives, so that the home console of Chiba Games has sold more than one million units.
Of course, other console manufacturers are not stupid. Naturally, there is a way to learn from it.
However, this learning is not so easy.
After all, this kind of thing is not a matter of a single handle. On top of the hardware of the handle, there must be software support.
Don't take it for granted that it's not just a game, it's easy to do.
This kind of game for special groups and non-mainstream people, where is it so easy to do. Even, sometimes the concepts of these two general directions of the game can be said to be very different.
Hence many games that are widely circulated among housewives. In the eyes of other player groups, they will ask a big question, what the hell is this talking about.
It's like a soap opera that housewives love to watch, and everyone else doesn't seem to understand what this kind of TV series is good about.
In fact, soap operas have been analyzed quite clearly. After all, the daily task of housewives is to clean the house. Sometimes, when they want to focus on one thing, they don't have the energy to watch the content of the TV series.
Therefore, a TV series with housewives as the main audience group will naturally not be the kind of fast-paced brain-burning TV series. Because, in that kind of TV series, I can't wait for the audience to watch one less shot, in a word, they don't know what the next shot means.
And soap operas are the kind of ones that can easily pick up the plot even if you watch a few episodes less.
Therefore, this kind of TV series is very popular with housewives. Moreover, there are not too many other groups of people who directly oppose this TV series.
After all, soap operas are generally broadcast during the day on weekdays. Except for housewives, there are basically no people who watch TV dramas at home at this time.
Chiba Games even grabbed the market with this kind of soap opera, and made a special type of soap game.
This kind of soap game is actually a kind of idle game.
However, unlike the kind of idle game for office workers, this kind of soap game with housewives as the main audience.
I don't often fight any monsters, and the theme of the game is generally something that is closely related to real life and the lives of housewives.
For example, if you manage your finances, you will have income from laundry.
In short, the idea of this soap game is to allow housewives not to operate too often, but occasionally come back to their senses, but they can receive satisfaction from this game.
As for why the web and mobile phone hang-up games played by white-collar workers are like that, it is actually quite simple.
Because, compared to the slow-paced housewife life, they generally have workplace pressure. If you are stressed, you have to vent it.
Before the advent of video games, the way they vented was basically to go out and have a drink after work.
In the early days of video games, they may have gone to arcade halls to play games, and later played games at home after work. Later, you can directly solve the accumulated pressure in the work unit.
This is also the reason why web games with professionals as the main audience are all hang-ups, and they are all upgraded to fight monsters.
Because, sometimes, only violence can relieve the resentment in the hearts of white-collar workers.
And this kind of violence, they will never send it to the people around them or their bosses in real life.
This is also the reason why the kind of workplace dramas that like the following crimes, as well as this kind of novel, can endure.
Because, in reality, the problems that we can't solve are generally solved in the unreal.
Like, some people don't have a very happy life, but they drink every day.
Because, once they drink, they become dizzy and feel satisfied, and forget all the troubles in reality.
At this time, they will have violent tendencies because they feel that others are destroying their dreams. As a result, they become more and more vexatious as they do things.
As a result, there will be a lot of domestic violence under the influence of alcohol.
Lin Yan also made some games specifically to combat domestic violence. However, this kind of game is not commercial in nature. It is impossible for a commercial game to belittle a group of people so directly.
If it weren't for the name of government-government cooperation, I don't know how many times these public welfare games against domestic violence and alcoholism would have been reported.
In fact, even if there is cooperation with the government, the complaint letters received are not one or two.
At the same time, of course, more thank-you letters were received. Because there are many, many people who have been victimized by domestic violence and alcoholism.
However, most of the time, they have no right to speak, even if others are violent to them, others do not know.
Actually, sometimes some things are quite interesting.
What some members of the public thought was a big deal was actually not that big. And some members of the public don't know about it, but it's so big.
The power of the media, when people don't know it, has been vividly displayed.
Therefore, some people are worried that if these media are controlled by a group of people. What life should be like?
Even if half of the world's people are unemployed due to the economic crisis, on TV, in movies, and on the radio, they still love to love and sing.
It seems terrifying.
Because of this concern and the development of Internet technology, the emerging media such as self-media has begun to develop.
This kind of personal media thing has not been seen in the past. Being able to see it now reassures many people and makes many people feel uneasy.
Therefore, they use various methods to make trouble in these self-media.
Take some individual cases and talk about them as general things. The emphasis is on rendering whether the self-media has no future, or those big media, which are more capable and trustworthy.
Some people believed their words and laid down their weapons, but did not reap what they wanted.
Others, armed with weapons, got what they wanted.
Sometimes, the world is like this, which seems absurd, but in fact it makes sense. (To be continued.) )
