Chapter 213 Anti-theft Technology
The success of the ultimate-end game joint platform plan has attracted worldwide attention, allowing a game to penetrate into consumers in China for the first time, and the phenomenal impact has also caused the sales of games to increase steadily.
What is even more accurate is that the day after the Star God of War was launched, another 930,000 copies were sold in the Chinese market.
Compared with the 3 million on the first day, there is a bit of a gap, but in reason, the 3 million is exactly the number of bookings for a month, and now the single-day orders have reached 930,000, which is actually even more popular.
"This time, Director Concubine Su has made a great contribution, not only solving the crisis of shortage of goods, but also expanding the influence of the Star God of War by more than ten times, and I have to give a special reward." Su said the most.
Concubine Su was so moved that she was dying, but she still said modestly: "This is everyone's credit, how can I monopolize it." ”
"Don't worry, everyone has a bonus this month, but you will receive an extra share, as for what, I haven't thought about it yet, why don't you secretly sue me after work?" Su asked with a smile.
"Boss, what you said is not appropriate, Secretary Zhang misunderstood that if I am jealous, I can't eat and walk around." Concubine Su laughed and teased.
Zhang Yan, who was closest to Su, directly threw a sanitary eye, but she didn't explain it, and she was generous.
"Come, let's drink soup, this is a hundred-year-old turtle that I finally got to make up for my body." Su was busiest and greeted everyone to drink soup and eat vegetables, and the atmosphere in the canteen was cheerful.
……
Although domestic game piracy is strict, there has always been an unwritten rule in the cracking circle: do not crack domestic games.
Also, it is not easy to invest tens of millions of dollars in China to get a game out, most of them are losing money and making money, at most they make some money from other peripheral copyrights, making movies, TV series or something, operating IP, if you get another pirated version, investors are not allowed to jump off the building?
But people die for money, and birds die for food. The more important reason why the cracking team abides by this rule is that it has not made any money.
To crack a large-scale stand-alone game, it's not just three or two people who can just mess around, you need a huge cracking team to support, and you have invested more than one million yuan, who will invest in cracking without profit or profit?
For example, this time, the top cracking team in China took over the task, and some investors invested 3 million for them to crack "Star War 2".
This reward is really not small, and there is really no reason to refuse, what is the belief in protecting domestic production. In the face of a huge remuneration of three million, it seems worthless.
"This mission is different from the past, just because this game is the most terminal to do."
"I think everyone has seen the interstellar God of War mobile game, and no one in the world has been able to crack it so far."
"What happened to God of War 2 this time, whether the situation is the same as the mobile game, no one knows yet. However, the task fee of 3 million is really a lot, and everyone can get at least 100,000 each, so please be careful. ”
Money is very appealing. But the reality is very cruel. Got the sweetness of mobile game anti-theft, this time Su Ji specially told Little Superman to do a good job of anti-theft system, crack? Surely, but in a few years......
It's been a busy few days. Investors repeatedly asked about the progress, but the cracking team was miserable, looking at the messy code on the computer and unable to do anything.
Compared to the previous mobile game, this PC single-player game has a lot more work. And it's also more difficult to crack, no, to be precise, it's impossible to crack at all.
Think of the three million. Think about those fans who search for a cracked version every day, but they can only look up to the sky and sigh: what the hell is this......
It's not just domestic teams that want to crack the game, foreign teams are also working hard, and even engineers from game companies are involved. But obviously, no matter who it is, it is impossible to crack "God of War 2".
Then the game manufacturer tried to discover its anti-theft principle so that they could apply this technology to their own games. They found that the whole game has a core control area, and any modification will invalidate this 'core', and if you want to crack it, you must crack this 'core', and the same is true for imitation.
This is easy to say, but it is very difficult to do, and it is not only game companies that have a headache for this problem, but even Microsoft cannot avoid it, which shows the high level of difficulty.
But now that they finally have a design solution, they see hope. If you want to enter the Chinese market, piracy is a natural enemy, and their local piracy is also strict, but not only in China, but also in Japan and the United States.
If you can master such a technique......
On the fourth day of the game's release, the sales of "Star War 2" finally exceeded 10 million, and the sales also reached 500 million US dollars.
But on this day, more than a dozen world-class game manufacturers such as EA, Vivendi, Ubisoft, Nintendo, and Sony seemed to have discussed, and at the same time sent representatives to visit the final end, and they went to the door without saying hello.
"There's no doubt that their purpose is to prevent theft technology, but they just come to the door and say politely, what do they mean?" Su asked in a low voice as he walked towards the conference hall.
"Get off the horse, this time they clearly want to get their hands on the anti-theft technology." Vice President Ye replied.
"What if I don't give it?" The young and vigorous Su raised his brows at the moment.
"They will probably jointly block us, and the overseas channels will be completely defeated." Vice President Ye replied in the affirmative.
Su was most unhappy, but he was not impulsive, and he clearly understood that it would not be difficult for these major game manufacturers to join forces to ban him.
In fact, many of the overseas agents of "Star War 2" are subsidiaries of these game companies, or even directly affiliated companies, and it is really not technical to block the final end, and the final end also needs their sales channels.
"Try not to get into trouble with them and try to cooperate, this is also a good opportunity for us." Zhang Yan next to her whispered.
"How?" Sue asked.
"If this anti-theft technology is not allowed to crack our own games, it is okay to give them, in addition to the normal licensing fees, we can fight for their more comprehensive sales channels, greater promotion efforts, and even the right to distribute their games in China, which is beneficial to us." Concubine Su on the side said.
Once this technology is announced, it will definitely speed up the cracking process, but within the controllable range, as long as it is updated in time. It's updated once a year, and it doesn't matter if it's cracked, piracy also has a certain effect, at least to accumulate more fans.
But Su was still worried, and asked carefully: "Then aren't we going to offend a lot of people?" ”
First of all, it monopolizes the agency of foreign stand-alone machines in the Chinese market, which is equivalent to cutting off the life of many domestic companies.
But this is still secondary, the big deal is to directly acquire these companies, it doesn't cost a lot of money, and the ultimate business expansion also needs human help, otherwise what can you do to help people run the game?
Su is more worried about offending consumers, piracy suddenly disappeared, everyone needs to spend money to play any game, the culprit is your final end, this time offended billions of consumers around the world, it is strange not to smash your glass.
Not to mention China, even if the laws of Lao Meijia are so sound, piracy is not as rampant. This part of the people can't play the latest game in time, and in the end they will all blame it on the final end, who asked you to develop such a technology.
Especially in China, even if "God of War 2" has made many people have a sense of authenticity, it is impossible to reverse a behavioral habit in a short period of time. If you don't mention money, everyone is still a friend, if you mention money, pay attention to the glass being smashed! I don't have a game to play......
