Many people may know Steam, the world's largest game platform on this PC, but many people may not have heard of GOG, this platform.

This is a drmfree platform.

That is to say, as long as the game is sold on this platform, it must be anti-DRM, it must be DRMFREE, that is to say, as long as the game is purchased on this platform, then the buyer can spread the copy of the game at will, these copies are genuine, and this platform is the number of users, in the entire PC game platform, the share is second only to Steam, much more than EA's rotten oranges.

And the owner of this platform is none other than CDPR.

The game "The Witcher 3" sold 4 million copies in two weeks, of which the PC platform sold a total of 1.2 million copies, and the GOG platform accounted for half of the sales.

Jester is precisely because of the incredible success of The Witcher 3 around the world.

I feel that the so-called domestic many people so-called, domestic games can not go to the world, the biggest reason is the cultural barrier, foreigners don't understand our culture at all, how can they understand the plot of our martial arts Xianxia game.

And the fairy grandchildren like to say the most.

That is, "How many plots of our Fairy Sword 1 are**, how touching, if foreigners can understand it, then they will definitely say that Fairy Sword 1 is a god." ”

When I encountered this kind of statement in the past, although Jester did not agree with it, he would not absolutely deny it.

He does think that the plot of Fairy Sword 1 is quite acceptable.

It can't be called the peerless statement of the immortal grandchildren, but it is indeed very qualified.

The reason why Jester didn't make a domestic style game before, he was making trouble with this kind of thinking, he was worried that if he tried his best to make zuò, but the players didn't accept it. This will be a big blow to him, according to his current status, for the game, he is not afraid of low sales, he is worried about bad reputation.

This is also the reason why he dared to make "Requiem for an Exotic Town", because he was not worried about sales at all.

There is no sales option in the Game of the Year evaluation criteria.

It's just from the game itself.

Of course, generally speaking, the sales of good games will definitely not be bad, but not all good games can achieve sales that match their reputation and evaluation. First of all, GTA5, the end of the American imperialist and the Patriot gun, works with perfect word-of-mouth sales are hard to find.

It's not uncommon for games like Outlander Requiem to have a flawless reputation but not sell well.

And Jester is worried about this, not only failing in sales, but also suffering Waterloo in word-of-mouth, which he can't accept.

However, life still needs to take risks.

Especially after Jester remembered the incident of "The Witcher 3", it really gave him a lot of confidence.

Think about it. Before the game "The Witcher" came out, the influence of the novel "The Witcher" was limited to Poland, outside of Poland. No one else will read this Polish martial arts novel, but after the game "The Witcher", more and more people are interested in Polish martial arts novels.

Millions of people even went to read this Polish martial arts novel.

Although I don't want to admit it. But Jester has to admit that this is called cultural contagion.

If you want to infect other people with your own culture, then you are the carrier of your culture. It has to be fun, it has to be fun, it has to get people interested in your culture, which is something that is impossible with the so-called theme idea.

As for why Jester firmly believes that although there are differences between Eastern and Western cultures, the differences between them are far less than some people think, at least in terms of the game's story, it is because of the real-life example of The Witcher 3.

In fact, before "The Witcher 3", Jester thought that since Europeans and Americans can accept Japanese culture, why can't they accept domestic ones?

can accept ninjas, but can't accept martial arts, there is no such thing as zài.

The "Ninja Dragon" series has been praised by players in Europe and the United States as the greatest act, ninjas are regarded as a natural culture by humans, and even Batman's teacher, also known as the ninja master, the Ninja Turtles of the comic book studio owned by Jester are also based on ninjas.

These things are not something that can be accepted by European and American players at the beginning.

The Japanese have paid a lot of money for decades to promote these things and to be able to let them take over their own culture.

The so-called national is the world, if you don't work hard to promote your national things in the world, how can it become the world?

It is useless to rely on Confucius Institutes.

The public is universal, why can universal values be supported by most people when they are full of loopholes? Because in the eyes of the majority of the group, they feel that universal values are good, at least on the surface, and as for the inner things, they don't care so much.

Your culture can only be accepted by the general public.

Only playing mountains and flowing water, spring and white snow, there is no use at all, Europeans and Americans can accept ninja dragons, but presumably they can't accept the same reason that the Tale of Genji is.

As for the reason why Jester firmly believes that the cultural differences between East and West are not as many as some people say.

It's because of the plot of "The Witcher 3".

And if the brief plot of "The Witcher 3" is changed to a new skin, then it will become like this.

At the beginning of the game, the swordsman's superb male protagonist Jie Xiaoyao leaves the village of Kelmohan, where he grew up, in order to find his beloved girl, Xi Ling'er, the descendant of the powerful 'Elder's Blood', and on the way is helped by the powerful royal sister Ye Yueru and the energetic girl Teanu.

After going through hardships, Jie Xiaoyao, who missed the target several times, finally found Xi Ling'er and learned the truth of the whole incident: it turned out that it was Ai Baiyue, the leader of the Wild Hunter God Cult of the alien 'elves', who wanted to kidnap Xi Ling'er.

This Ai Baiyue was ruthless and insidious, designed to poison the king of the White Elves, and took sole power over the Elves, and sent Elder El to capture Chilling'er.

The Elven Avarojiao refused to accept the rule of Ai Baiyue, and also helped Xi Ling'er fight against the Wild Hunt God Cult, and after a fierce battle, Jie Xiaoyao and his party finally killed Ai Baiyue, but this did not prevent the arrival of the white frost that was enough to destroy the world of Miè.

For the sake of Dawn Cang's livelihood, Xi Linger finally decided to face her fate as a descendant of the blood of the elderly, sacrificing herself to fight against the white frost, and Jie Yao, who lost Xi Ling'er, was disheartened, although he was known as the strongest demon hunter in the world, but still had the rest of his life lonely and frustrated.

The above is the story outline of the famous Polish RPG game "The Witcher 3".

Do you feel that this plot has a sense of déjà vu? In fact, the original "Witcher" series of novels was just a Polish martial arts that only Poles watched.

Isn't it strange why such a plot is accepted by Europeans and Americans without the slightest difficulty? Do you think that the so-called fans of some games and the so-called foreigners can't accept our Xianxia and martial arts culture because the cultural barrier is a skin to hide their incompetence and shame?

Once revealed, there is no place for the slightest.

In fact, the plot in the game "The Witcher 3" is no different from the plot of mainstream games in China.

When Jester thought about this, he couldn't help but think of an interesting fact about it.

At that time, because of the amazing quality and sales of "The Witcher 3", there was a frenzy of discussion on some domestic forums, including about this, some players of a certain sword insisted on shouting, it is precisely because of the differences and barriers between Eastern and Western cultures that our swords and swords cannot go abroad.

Naturally, however, the naysayers are dismissive.

With "The Witcher 3" as the core, they launched a series of reasonable and well-founded arguments, directly arguing that these sword players had nothing to say, and could only continue to make trouble unreasonably.

For example, there is a post where Jester has a very deep impression.

The name of the post is 'The Difference between Eastern and Western Cultures from the success of "The Witcher 3"", if you look at the name of this post alone, almost everyone may think that this is a post to shout for a certain sword, and the content of the post is also very obscure and witty.

In the end, this post really caught a lot of understanding that brain circuits are different from normal humans.

Of course, these acquaintances are generally players of a certain sword.

After all, if the brain circuit is normal, even if you endure eating a piece of, you won't spread the word that this is delicious, let alone shout about the you eat.

Actually, there is another point worth mentioning.

Just after Yang Yuansheng, the chief planner of the "Xuanyuan Sword" series, made his remarks that I would make a "Witcher 3" for me with 200 people, after the immortal bird also sprayed Yang Yuansheng with a dog blood, 3DM released the perfect cracked patch of "The Gate of the Firmament" at the first time, and the reason for this is certainly not to prove how bad the domestic stand-alone environment is.

Just to prove, even if there is a perfect crack, no one will download and play this ** game.

In fact, it is.

This is not surprising to almost all players, a good game, even if it is not encrypted, then players will be willing to pay for it, such as "The Witcher 3", and a bad game, even if it is perfectly broken, you don't look back at it, just like you won't appreciate a piece of shit.
