Although on the Chiba game side, there is a crisis about the game simulator, which is basically lifted. But on the other hand, the crisis on the side of the video game league is just emerging.

Because, the arcade simulator came out. The impact on the arcade business of the video game league is not insignificant.

Because,There's no way to solve it.,Like a Chiba game.。 It is not possible to distribute own arcade simulators also on PC, on the Internet. That is to smash one's own job.

You know, the profit model of arcade machines can be said to be completely different from home game consoles. And if arcade simulators are popular, maybe there are some places that are not easy to supervise, and they will use a computer to connect a screen by themselves, and there will be an extra pirated arcade machine.

You know, there were few pirated arcades in the past, because the video game league not only had electronic anti-theft, but also that kind of sharing model.

Piracy can't be done in the long run, and they can't give it to machines for free and only get a certain share like the video game league.

However, emulators on PCs are different. Not only can a machine have several in one, dozens of in one, or even hundreds of in one.

Moreover, the technical threshold is still very low, and the owner of a grocery store can solve it by buying a computer himself.

What, you said he couldn't modify the coin-operated device?

These are all minor problems, and he could have changed them to time charges.

You know, if you do this, there will definitely be a lot of people who will come to play. After all, in a game like a fighting game, the time to package is always more appropriate than the purchase of life.

What's even more terrifying is that after you can play at home, who will come out to play. How troublesome it is to come out and play. Unlike Chiba games, they just came across the Red and White Machine Simulator. There is a countermeasure. Basically, this opening is blocked.

And the video game league, due to the previous did not pay attention. Now even their latest gaming boards are supported by emulators.

Even, when a new arcade game was not even released, there were already pirated versions that could be played. That's really ......

This practice is known in circles as "Day Zero", that is, the pirated version is launched before the game is launched, or on the day it is launched.

In fact. It's not as hard as most people think. Because, from the game producer to the supply chain, it is not monolithic at all.

The most uneven, before a game is released, it must be distributed first. Console game discs are shipped to the various sales locations first, and arcade machines are prepared in arcade halls first.

Otherwise, after the press conference here, there is no one to play. The attention that the press conference generated. In fact, it is blind in vain.

In fact, after the red and white machine was made out of the simulator, it didn't take long for the super red and white machine to be exposed to the simulator. The same is true of the new super red and white machine, and even the new new super red and white machine has not been spared.

However, there is one more fortunate one. The computer runs a game emulator. It needs to have several times the performance of the original machine.

And as we all know, home consoles will sell well when they are cheap. Coupled with the unification of hardware, the order quantity is large. Although in recent years. The performance of personal computers has evolved rapidly. However, with the same performance, it is still much cheaper to use a home host. What's more, the latest emulators require several times the performance.

People who have the money to toss computers don't at least install emulators because of the money, and it's more likely that they're interested in studying technology or something.

After all, the machines on the market that can surpass the performance of the new super red and white machine are basically above 3,000 dollars. You know, the new super red and white machine is only priced at $299.

Ten times the price, in exchange for several times the performance, just to play the game according to the emulator. This is too low cost performance. It can be said that it is a loss.

In fact, the purpose of anti-piracy has always been similar. It's like now, make piracy unprofitable, or even lose money, so that no one will come and do things.

The problem with the arcade machine is that it is not a private machine, and even if it costs a little more, it is still cheaper than the arcade machine of the Video Game League.

It may be about the same for a single machine, but don't forget that the emulator can have many, many games on one machine, which means that the cost can be reduced.

And the reason why those merchants who share is not doing it is also very simple.

Although when they first withdrew from the arcade rental system, they watched them spend a penny and provide a small piece of space to divide the money, at that time they were very users of the video game league.

However, you must know that people's hearts are insufficient, and when people are not satisfied, most people should have heard the words that have been covered by kicking their noses and faces.

Those merchants have long forgotten about the good of video game leagues, and they are full of thinking that as long as they buy a computer and press an emulator, all the money will be their own.

You know, some of the locations are strange, and there are many places where many people come to play, and sometimes there are tens of thousands of yen a day.

And the video game league, if you want to take half of it, take 50%, don't you think these stores will be blushing?

In the end, the video game league still lowered its share of the game, from 50% to 30%, so that the emulator arcade machine did not become the mainstream in small shops.

If you want to say that it is indeed illegal to do this, the store manager also knows it, but they dare to do it. This lies in the video game league, and the cost of defending rights is too high. Hiring a professional to handle this kind of thing is basically not worth the cost.

Killing chickens and monkeys, three games and two games can still be done, but through legal means, all those who have already adopted it, and the latter have the intention to use the simulator arcade machine, are all down. It is estimated that the video game league is also about to be dragged down by the sky-high legal fees to go out of business.

Therefore, the video game alliance finally adopted Huairou's bibimbap. Although, through legal means, a few stores that did this were eliminated, and through the relationship, it was dealt with severely.

However, this is really killing chickens and respecting monkeys.

He holds a stick in one hand and a carrot in the other.

coercion and temptation, and finally let these stores settle down.

However, the blow to them has not ended immediately.

To know. The arcade market includes not only the Japanese market, but also the American market. And the numerous markets in many countries of the world.

And in some countries where the law is not sound, plus the video game alliance is really a bit far away. Beyond one's power. There is also the local court sheltering their own people.

So, things like simulator arcades are still popular.

This can be regarded as a consequence, the domestic flowers have not bloomed, and they have been dealt with, but abroad is still full of fragrance.

Now, the previous routine of the video game league can't be carried out.

Originally, the arcade machines they used for rental often took several years. Hardware obsolete, after obsolescence. Plus electronics are difficult to handle. The processing fee in Japan is too expensive.

Therefore, their obsolete arcade machines are often exported to countries that are not too advanced in development at a relatively low price.

In this way, not only does it cost you to dispose of garbage, but you can even make a small profit.

This method of disposing of garbage can be seen everywhere in the world. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, after all, even some baboon circuit boards can extract precious metals such as gold and silver. 、

Of course. This process of chemical reaction has a particularly strong impact on the environment.

Suffice it to say, this time the video game league hurts a bit. However, it also survived.

Chiba games are much calmer than that. Although, there are insiders who are worried about hurrying. Worry, computer hardware is cheaper. What to do exactly.

Lin Yan doesn't have this concern, first, the computer hardware is cheap. More performance can be purchased for the unit price. The performance of Chiba Games' consoles is only going to get better. It's impossible to stand still.

Second, Lin Yan has developed some unique functions for the new super red and white machine. The degree of binding to the TV is also very high.

It's not like PCs can be replaced right away. Even if you can, the price will be high, and the operation will not be so easy.

Therefore, worrying about the future of the new super red and white machine is really a bit unfounded.

Lin Yan still prefers to look at the development department and put his own experience on game development, rather than discussing this and that all day long.

Counter-Strike Online has been brewing for so long and is finally available. This game is also paid for props. For example, the skin and other inconsequential things. The whole is free.

Although the graphics look a lot worse than the shooter on the new Super Red and White machine, it is just to take care of the functions of the low-end computer.

After all, there is no benefit to setting the bar too high.

No matter how good a game is, no matter how awesome it is, there is only one in this world that can run, no matter how great such a game is, no matter how much others want to play, they will not buy it.

Such a game that cannot be sold to many people to recover its cost is doomed to a miserable death for the production company.

And the picture of "Counter-Strike Online" is much worse than the previous "Half-Life" launched by Chiba Games, which is the main body of the game "Counter-Strike". That's one such reason.

Lin Yan is more inclined to say that although the picture quality is important, the first thing that comes first is not the picture, but whether the game is fun or not.

If you want to say that the game picture is good, someone will play it, and if the picture is not good, there will be no peace.

Then the indie games that are now popular on the new super red and white machine can't be so popular.

In fact, there is a special forum behind each game of the new console of Chiba Games and the new super red and white machine.

In other words, what you have played and what you want to say can be discussed directly in this community.

Although, instead of making more money, this seems to increase the cost.

However, this approach can make players have more sense of belonging, in other words, from the manufacturer's side, the user viscosity is higher.

Of course, because the controller is really not very suitable for entering text, although Chiba games have very advanced intelligent input methods that can blur judgment and provide the text that the importer wants most.

However, Chiba Games has launched a rectangular operator similar to a remote control on the new Super Red and White machine.

On this operator, a nine-square grid input is used. This approach has worked well in Japan and in some other countries.

However, there are a total of 26 letters in English, and it is too inconvenient to use a nine-square grid.

So, Chiba Games had to launch something like a small phone with a full keyboard.

As a separate peripheral, the price is not expensive, only ten dollars a piece. It's because of my interest in the forum, and in a few months, millions of points have been sold. It has reached a quarter of the total installed capacity and a little more.

Of course, if you want to ask why this method can increase user viscosity, you can't think it's reliable to say anything. In fact, you can just look at the later software.

For example, listening to songs in Penguin Music and Wangyiyun Music will feel very different, in Penguin Music, listening to songs is just listening to songs, and nothing else.

However, the music in the network is very different, and you can see the feelings of others. For example, when I listened to this song, it was the first time I fell in love, the first time I had a new intimate contact, and the first time I fell out of love.

This can be shared with other people's lives. Not only that, but you can also see what others are feeling.

All of a sudden, I went from penguin music, where I was just listening to songs alone, to being accompanied by someone, and I wasn't lonely at all.

In this case, if you say that a person uses a music software, will he use Penguin or NetOne. For which feelings are deeper.

Another one is the barrage website, and the traditional video website.

You know, sometimes it's very lonely to watch movies alone, especially those niche movies. There's always a sense of loneliness.

It's as if I'm separated from the world.

However, with the barrage, even those niche movies, when watching them, there are often some words that make people smile, or feel a lot.

It's like watching a movie not alone, but with friends, strangers.

You know, this is a trend. With the passage of time, technology is becoming more and more developed, and the pace of life is getting faster and faster, so it is destined that there will not be too much time and time for multiple people to gather.

Therefore, offline social networking has shifted to online. And this change in software gives players a sense of belonging.

Freedom from loneliness.

And, most importantly, with these people, you won't waste your time too much. For example, if you want to meet someone in real life, you may need to start preparing hours or even days in advance.

The Internet, on the other hand, makes people ignore time and space, and can be available anytime and anywhere.

Of course, the features that Lin Yan has added to these games now feel that many people find useless. Because, they didn't imagine that kind of use environment.

It's like an electric balance car, which can only go more than ten kilometers after one charge. The average person will definitely not use it.

However, white-collar workers who are a distance from the subway every day but don't like to walk have a use scenario on how to solve the problem of going to the subway. (To be continued.) )
