Chapter 33: Conspiracy Theories

Because there are too many pirated games on the personal computer platform, even a company like Chiba Youxi does not have a very good way to solve these pirated games.

Because, there is no way for players to delete pirated games that are already installed on their computers. There is also no good way to prevent certain blocks and individuals from doing the corresponding game cracking work.

Even if you find these cracking organizations, most of the time, you can't communicate very well. Because a large part of these organizations are not for-profit organizations, even if they are found, they cannot all be sent to prison.

So, in the end, the solution to Chiba Games is to divide and dissolve.

On the one hand, those pirated cracking groups in Zhao'an, you must know that the technology of these cracking groups is generally relatively good. And,There's also a high connection with the sinicization group.。 Zhao'an them, even if they can't put an end to cracking the game, the speed of cracking the game will be greatly reduced.

In addition, such behavior will also be loved by pirate players. Because, in such an act, a great deal of goodwill is released.

On the other hand, it is the promotion of a game sales platform on personal computers. Because, the console platform, can already make the game profitable. After entering the new generation, the cost of porting games is greatly reduced, and in this case, even if it is on a personal computer platform, launching cheap games will not cause much damage to the game company, but will allow them to obtain a lot of secondary income.

Of course, this kind of cheap games for PC platforms is, to some extent, a disservice to console players.

You know, even if it's the same game, the price of the game on the console platform is basically twice that of the PC.

However, this problem is not very difficult to solve. If you trade money for time, the PC version of the game will be much less frustrated by console players as long as it is delayed by a month or two compared to the console game.

Also, because of the characteristics of personal computers, if you want to configure a computer that can easily play large games. In fact, you need to pay several times the price of a game console. Therefore, on the whole, console players can still understand the problem of expensive games.

This blocks the source, blocks the traffic, and adds regular discount promotions. The entire Chiba Games PC platform has been a great success.

Of course, such a success is not destined to last long. If the game doesn't sell well on consoles, then the price of the game on this platform is bound to skyrocket.

Because, the reason why the games on this platform are cheap is already clear. That's what they did all the way through. It is not unacceptable for people who don't play games because of their personal computers to play games and then sell them cheaper.

Of course, on the game forums, people from all walks of life have their own opinions. Playing consoles, the most expensive game is the first game, but you don't wait to buy a second-hand game, you look at the price of your personal computer, and then look at the time of your game's launch, and the price of second-hand games, it's not bad at all. That's it, I thought I was taking a big advantage, and it was really naïve to mock console players.

Of course, PC gamers will say that you console gamers are obviously only a little bit more powerful. I can't even do a smooth sixty frames, and I still talk about cost performance. As for second-hand games, if you don't buy first-hand, you have to buy second-hand, and you have to buy a second-hand if you get a girlfriend?

Of course, such public opinion is actually guided by Chiba games.

Lin Yan is now working on a card game, the whole game, which is intended to be a cross-platform game. Across consoles, mobile phones, tablets, and other platforms.

Because, with such a mature game in his mind, Lin Yan almost directly moved the "Hearthstone" in his head.

Logically speaking, this is also a very natural thing.

After all, Lin Yan has been making "Warcraft" for so long, and "World of Warcraft" has occupied the first place in online games for a long time. In such a situation, with enough accumulation, it is natural to make derivative games.

Card games are actually a very mature system in the board game market. Whether it is "Yu-Gi-Oh", which has become popular in Japan, or "Magic", which has become popular in the United States, it is a popular game in the United States. and even, the "Game of Destiny" produced by Lin Yan at the beginning. It's not all card games.

Going back further, it's like poker, it's not all card games.

The production of Hearthstone is almost over. Now this game, the difference is just promotion.

The most direct way to promote is to place advertisements on TV.

Lin Yan has been more idle and less serious recently, and he participated in the production of video commercials for "Hearthstone" in Japan and the United States.

One of the distinctive features of Japanese society is that it is hierarchical. A professional in the workplace, all the time, should show enough kindness to his superiors, such as bowing and the like.

Because of this reality, there are many works that counterattack in the entire Japanese entertainment industry.

And Hayashi Yan's idea for making an advertisement for Japan's "Hearthstone" is like this.

This ad looks like this:

Early in the morning, a Mercedes-Benz stopped at the door of the company, a middle-aged man opened the door, and a person who looked like the chairman walked towards the company step by step.

Along the way, all kinds of employees, no matter what they were doing, had to stop and bow to the president.

At this time, a woman wearing a professional skirt appeared. She didn't bow, and when the president saw her, his expression suddenly became very hideous. Beads of sweat the size of beans slowly dripped from his head.

He suddenly gritted his teeth and bowed, bowing to the young woman.

During this period, various employees of the entire company, with various surprised expressions, were displayed one by one. The use of bullet time is used to make the whole game more exaggerated.

Then, suddenly, the scene changed to a scene of the president and this woman facing off against Hearthstone. The women won, the president lost. The women cheered happily, and the president looked depressed.

The picture turned again, it was another day, Mercedes-Benz stopped at the door of the company, but it was the president who opened the door, and it was this young woman who came down.

This advertisement is actually in line with the current state of Japanese society. The workplace is a very oppressive environment. In such an environment, there are many people who fantasize about counterattacking countless times a day.

This is also the reason why there are so many counterattack products, such as the later popular "Naoki Hanzawa".

This TV commercial for Hearthstone Japan is, so to speak, very inflammatory. That's a great ad.

Whether it is a professional or a non-professional, they are very impressed by Lin Yan's advertising creativity.

After the production of this advertisement, Lin Yan began to produce the "Hearthstone" commercial in the United States.

The situation in the United States is very different from that of Japan, and the main group faced by the United States is not office workers, and office workers do not have as much pressure as Japanese office workers.

Developed countries such as the United States have developed sports programs. Therefore, there is a huge number of fans.

And Lin Yan determined that the main audience of "Hearthstone" in the United States is these sports fans.

So, this live-action ad for "Hearthstone" is like this.

In a gladiatorial arena, there is a very handsome knight of Stormwind, this knight of Stormwind, handsome attack again and again, but again and again he was pulled back by mysterious forces.

At this time, the screen turns, and it becomes a scene for players to play the game. It turned out that the knights of Stormwind came back again and again.

It's because the player is hesitant to use him to attack.

Players finally make up their minds and draw a card to attack. A man in the form of a comical, dwarf, clumsy and clumsy with the ogre on the other side.

Finally, there is also a classic character in "Hearthstone" - Erwuzai. Killed the Stormwind Knight.

The whole game is a style of sports. This advertisement was also highly praised by the propaganda department of Chiba Yuju America.

Of course, it also added a little bit to Lin Yan's legend. After all, interlacing is like separating mountains. Today's games, no matter how film-based they are, emphasize the use of storyboards and cameras, but they are still video games.

Interlaced like a mountain, Lin Yan can make two advertisements with very different styles, but completely suitable for the national conditions of the two countries, which can be said to be very powerful.

Of course, real industry insiders are for Lin Yan's magic. It's not surprising already.

Because, if you want to say that Lin Yan is magical, it is already amazing that he can be so evergreen. A person's thinking has its limitations. It's hard to imagine how powerful a brain someone can have to make so many types of games.

Of course, Lin Yan knew that this was not entirely his ability. I can say that I have a little bit of strength, but I will definitely not be in the current system.

Lin Yan sometimes feels that he is just a representative. It represents the era he has experienced, and the thousands of people behind him.

Sometimes, Lin Yan felt a sense of mission.

Of course, the video game industry is booming right now, and it won't take long for it to be impossible not to get hacked.

As a result, conspiracy theories have emerged against video games.

This conspiracy theory, in fact, is very simple, it is based on Huxley's "Brave New World". Speaking of video games, it is a conspiracy of the United States, and Lin Yan is the executor of the conspiracy.

It stands to reason that one person can't make so many games, so many games that can be called gods. Therefore, Lin Yan is definitely not a person, but an organization, the spokesperson of the entire conspiracy.

This conspiracy was directed by the United States against Japan. The purpose of this conspiracy, according to the man who said so, is to make the Japanese brain stop thinking and immerse themselves in the sea of entertainment. In the end, nothing will be like it, and you will become a slave to a bunch of light and shadow.

In fact, if Lin Yan didn't know what his situation was like, it was really possible to believe this person's words.

What he said was really interesting, but also a little embarrassed. How to say it, it's like an Israeli who saw "Currency War" written by Song Hongbing.

Well, maybe this example is more difficult to understand, but after a little explanation, it is actually quite clear.

In "Currency Wars", the economy of the whole world is, to some extent, ruled by the Jews, represented by the Rothschilds.

This is a series of books full of conspiracy theories, but the boasting of the Jews is also unparalleled.

The post made by that person was also very serious about Lin Yan's boasting. Lin Yan had an illusion when he watched it, was he really that strong.

Of course not.

Lin Yan smiled, although he looked down on most of the current game industry practitioners.

However, he did not underestimate the vast sea of practitioners, among them, there will definitely be some people, and finally become one of the top people in the entire industry.

Of course, whether they can become such top people, to a certain extent, depends not only on their personal struggle, but also on the development of the entire industry.

At the right time, in the right place, in the right place, in the right way. This person will become one of the top people. But if he lacks a little, he may only be a second-rate, a third-rate, or a fourth-rate person.

Of course, it cannot be said that these people who do not become first-class people are weak.

It looks weak because people look at it from a God's perspective or an imperial view of history.

People often make the mistake of taking the imperial view of history when looking at history, and in real life, it is their own civilian perspective.

Therefore, whether it is second-rate, third-rate, or fourth-rate people, from the perspective of many low-level practitioners, they are all big bulls. They are very, very powerful people.

Even, someone will fight for them. Because, in their opinion, such a powerful position, or just such a position, is it not too unworthy.

After a discussion, Lin Yan also talked and laughed with the person who was a conspiracy theorist in video games.

In fact, to be honest, this conspiracy theorist, although the angle can be said to be more tricky. However, what is more disappointing is that he does not have a very strong logical thinking ability.

You can't make the topic you talk about into a self-consistent closed loop. Always talk about him from time to time.

However, Lin Yan still found his statement interesting, so he also made a small indie game. This game has really made many players go high-fashion. For no other reason, they just liked the tune.

However, when they saw that the author of the game was signed by Lin Yan, their climax was even more serious. (To be continued.) )
