Chapter 314: Distinguished Guest
Many people, even many very experienced journalists, were surprised by Jester's answer.
Because in their impression, the electronic pet machine launched before is just a children's toy, his main audience has always been children, and the sales are mainly children, and although Dreambox also has a large number of young players, but there are nearly half of them are not young players, the reason why they support Mars Entertainment so much is just because Mars Entertainment has been making games in the style they like.
And not like Nintendo, in addition to pleasing young children, it is also pleasing young children.
This time "Thor's Hammer" they are very satisfied, because for those of them who are adult players or players close to adults, such a game is for adults, for real men, not those naïve, low-level, in order to please some ignorant children and deliberately made something with a beautiful plot.
They're not interested in it.
But now that Jester has heard him say, it seems that his second game, which he values even more, and which he has been thinking about for many years, is the kind of thing that they have never taken seriously, the kind of thing that pleases young children.
The anger is palpable.
Of course, not all players are not interested in this kind of game, the vast majority of players still like various types of games, they like to play good games, so this kind of player not only plays the games of Mars Entertainment, but also plays Nintendo's games, but the most die-hard are still these people who are dissatisfied with the "Pokemon" that Jester talked about.
Contrary to Jester's expectations, he himself didn't expect that after he just announced the news, the audience at the scene immediately gave him a burst of boos, which made him a little confused.
But after thinking about it, he understood a little.
But he wasn't going to go into details. After all, this is the press conference of "Thor's Hammer", not "Pokemon", and the time of the press conference is limited, so it is impossible to waste it at will, but it seems very inappropriate not to explain it.
But it's impossible to reveal what's inside the game, and Jester doesn't have any plans to do so.
"I think so. Don't I just say a little bit about a game that you just sing about a game, you know my style, I'll just ask you, have I ever let you down? Jester asked, looking around.
Hearing Jester say this, the scene was silent for a moment, and then immediately erupted in a violent cheer.
Who's to say it isn't, Jester. Lee's game has never disappointed them! Besides, he's just made a game that's so wonderful that it's beyond words.
And then. The press conference finally got back to normal, and began to ask questions about the game "Quake".
And Jester has nothing to hide, after all, this game is about to be officially released. There is no point in concealing it, of course, it cannot be said that there are no secrets, for example. Online battle system.
"May I ask, what exactly is the online battle system you are talking about?"
The question was asked by a young player wearing a New York Yankee baseball cap. With a freckled face, I don't think I will be more than twenty years old, and the vast majority of players in Martian are teenagers of this age, in Jester's eyes, being able to get the love of these people means that he has won the whole victory, and in the face of this easy question, Jester did show a slightly meaningful smile.
"I don't really need to answer this question, as the name suggests, actually, I don't intend to explain it in detail, but I can tell you that in the field test computer, the version of "Thor's Hammer" that we have installed, all load a Thor Arena option, just when you first enter the game, you will find such an option, when you try it out, click on it, and then follow the instructions to do it, wait for the game to start, you only need to play it once-"
As he spoke, Jester stretched out a finger and waved it in front of everyone, and then said in an unobstructive tone: "You only need to play once, and you will know what an online battle system is." ”
The duration of the whole Q&A meeting was forty minutes, but because some other questions took up a lot of time, and finally at the strong request of the players, Jester extended the time to sixty minutes, in fact, this is also what Jester expected, he already knew that if he held a Q&A meeting hosted by himself, he would inevitably be retained by the players or the media present, even if there was really no one to retain, Jester also made a second hand of preparation - he himself arranged people.
In this way, the Q&A session, which was originally scheduled to be extended by 20 minutes, became Jester's strong desire to thank the audience at the scene and extend the Q&A session by 20 minutes.
Although after another twenty minutes, the audience and players at the scene were still unsatisfied and wanted to let Jester extend a little longer, but Jester thought that he really couldn't squeeze out time, because the entire carnival plan was predetermined before, and if he messed around casually and disrupted the plan, then the impact on such a provincial capital with tens of thousands of people participating would be disastrous.
Of course, Jester didn't forget to mention that he had squeezed out as many twenty minutes as he could.
After leaving the press conference, Jester hurried towards the lounge, and when he was talking and laughing on the podium just now, he received a very unexpected news from the miniature microphone in his ear. Gates is coming.
Bill. Gates only came as an ordinary member of the carnival, originally he didn't want to alarm Jester at first, and when he was about to leave, he met with Jester to discuss their visual operating system, but when he arrived at the scene, he found that if he didn't notify Mars Entertainment, he might have to wait in line until noon, which was too much of a waste of time.
Essentially, Bill. Gates is not a hypocritical person, but he feels that his time is worthwhile, at least in his opinion, wasting his time in line is not a very valuable thing.
So, he took out his identity and found the staff of Mars Entertainment.
Like Bill. With a partner like Gates, the people of Mars Entertainment naturally dare not slack off, and the current Microsoft and Bill Gates are no longer just listed Microsoft and Bill Gates three years ago, and now Microsoft has changed its face and become a company with real competitive value, especially their office software, which basically unifies the entire PC office software market.
Recently, on the market, the PC software that can be compared with Microsoft's office software may be the PS graphics software of the phantom company established independently from the technology of Mars Entertainment with PS, this software encountered a lot of resistance when it began to be promoted last year. Gates, he contacted Bill. After Gates, he proposed to sell office office software that he hoped to bundle with 1,000 copies of PS image processing software.
Of course, Jester needs to spend a promotion fee.
But Bill. Gates took into account the previous agreement between him and Jester about starting a visual operating system, and Jester gave himself and even the entire development team a lot of inspiration in terms of visual operating system, for him personally, he was very grateful to the other party, so after agreeing to Jester's request for binding sales, not only did not charge Jester's promotion fees, but even self-helped, increasing the number of bound sales to 10,000 copies.
You know, the price of this 10,000 copies of office software sold is more than the price of a whole PS drawing software than others.
And Mars Entertainment's price for this PS software is not lower than Microsoft's Office.
But what happened after the release was out of Bill's. What Gates expected, he didn't expect in any case, after a long three months, these office software bundled with PS slowly sold a thousand copies, these office software bundled with PS suddenly seemed to be sealed, and began to sell wildly, including the PS that was being sold by the Phantom company that Jester had just established at that time, and was also snapped up by countless computer workers.
Originally, because the sales were not too high at the beginning, there was no large reserve PS floppy disk, and when dealing with this sudden sales frenzy, there was no preparation, just less than a week later, the entire United States or the entire North America PS software was sold out.
After that, Bill. Gates immediately contacted Jester, hoping to cooperate more closely with PS Paint software, and Jester did not object, after all, in this kind of application software, Microsoft is much better than himself in any aspect, whether it is channel or technology, and Jester also used PS Paint software as a bargaining chip to start with Bill. Gates collaborates for the second time after co-developing a visual operating system.
Originally Bill. Gates wanted to buy the copyright of PS painting software directly, but Jester rejected him with righteous words, Jester really knows very well, how big the market will be for PS software in the future, no matter what price Microsoft offers, as long as he sells it, it will be the biggest loss.
