Chapter 548: The End of an Era
In the end, Sony made concessions.
Sega got the rights to Donkey Kong, their coveted version, and Sony got Metroid, but Jester didn't know what kind of compromise the two sides had made with each other.
Although Jester was said to be watching the whole process, in fact, there was a fifteen minutes of silence between the two sides at the height of the discussion.
So much so that Jester, who was watching the excitement, thought that there was something wrong with his phone equipment.
Even if you think about it with your ass, you will know that during this period of silence between the two sides, there will definitely be another negotiation that Jester does not know about through other means, and there must be concessions and some compromises between them.
Otherwise, with Ken Kutara's solipsistic character, how could it be so easy to make concessions?
Overall, though.
The conference call between the three parties on the partition of Nintendo was relatively successful, and it didn't take much time, only a little more than an hour, and the three parties reached an intentional cooperation agreement, and the rest of the matter was that the three parties went to talk to Nintendo.
If Nintendo still wants to ask for a sky-high price.
Hehe.
Then, in the industry, their game copyright will be unattended.
Minoru Arakawa does not have the strong character of his father-in-law, Pu Yamauchi, and if Pu Yamauchi, who is now selling Nintendo's game business, then Jester believes that it is impossible for the three companies to unite in this so-called talk to carve up Nintendo.
Because Yamauchi Pu can do things that are all jade.
But Arakawa couldn't do it.
This is the biggest difference between Minoru Arakawa and his father-in-law, one is just a pure businessman, if he finds a correct truth, according to his kind of pure businessman, only care about the profit and loss of the character, maybe he will really achieve great success, but he will never create a dynasty in the industry.
Maybe this time, Minoru Arakawa will lead Nintendo to make a strategic transformation after selling their game business, which will allow Nintendo to achieve more and make more money in the coming decades.
But, at least for now.
Nintendo, the great company that saved video games in the past and put them back on the right track, has said goodbye to games at this time.
"It's still a little sad."
Thinking of Nintendo's thorough launch of the game industry, Yamauchi Pu became a vegetative person, as the culprit of this qiē, Jester, thinking about it, is still a little sad, and it is impossible not to be sad, Jester was still a contemporaneous before he crossed over.
I grew up playing Nintendo games.
Even, most of the games he copied were Nintendo games that he originally played when he was a child, and it can be said that Nintendo was his game enlightenment.
However, Jester does not regret it, because Jester knows that Nintendo is too powerful and they have too many great designers.
In later generations, no matter who is asked in the industry, which game company's designer has the highest level, then Jester dares to guarantee that he can know from the other party's answer what the level of this respondent is and the game company he works for.
Because all high-level designers and companies will not hesitate to say, Nintendo.
Think about it, with such a company, the shame of being forced to withdraw from the hosting industry, and a leader with great ambition, extraordinary leadership, and almost unparalleled charisma in the industry, in this situation, they endure humiliation and strive to make the country better.
It's hard to imagine what they will be able to do in the future.
What without Super Mario, what without Pokemon? Do you really think that Nintendo can't make a game series that can compete with these?
That's certainly not possible.
They're terrible, they're too powerful, and Jester is conceited that he knows the future of the game, but who is the one who is going through the whole video game? It's these people from Nintendo! They pioneered the 2D era, a superhorse that laid down all the rules of the game in the 2D gaming era.
In the 3D era, they relied on a Mario 64 and a Zelda to lay down all the rules of 3D games.
They are ahead of everyone.
Such an enemy, if he cannot completely strangle them in their weakest position, it is a connivance and a crime against themselves.
"Good death."
Jester stood up from his seat and let out a deep sigh.
In fact, Jester thinks that future generations of players should be grateful to him, just imagine, if Nintendo makes a game comparable to Mario and Pokemon in the future, and gets a large number of players, can you really tolerate that kind of mosaic picture? Can you tolerate the eight Chinese languages?
Don't say anything about feelings, say nonsense like I won't play if it's not a mosaic.
IMHO, any player with an IQ and a conscience will definitely not refuse a Pokemon in HD 1080P, because it is not a matter of attitude, but a matter of IQ, and any PM player who rejects HD 1080P is a defective IQ.
It is because of the connivance and support of these people that Nintendo is not enterprising.
In essence, although Nintendo has been making games with very high playability, and the screen is full of gameplay, these people who support Nintendo are not fundamentally different from the domestic immortals.
Think about it, how enterprising Nintendo was in the Yamauchi era?
In order not to let future players experience this pain.
Jester can only destroy the flowers now, Nintendo, must die, and what Nintendo will do in the future, Nintendo's leading settings in the future game industry, all kinds of games, will be completely done by himself.
After all, times have changed and Nintendo is outdated.
"I'm here for future players."
Jester had come up with an outrageous excuse for what he had done, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense.
Kyoto, Nintendo headquarters.
Minoru Arakawa, who had just taken over Nintendo, was too tired during this time, and his pupils were full of bloodshots.
It is not easy to make a strategic transformation of a huge enterprise, and now Minoru Arakawa also understands how difficult it was for his father-in-law to lead Nintendo to several successful transformations, and he has always felt that his father-in-law's thinking was too conservative.
Now, it seems, this may not be the case.
Because his father-in-law has experienced this kind of hardship for a long time, but since this path is his own choice.
Then you have to go on.
However, Minoru Arakawa's face is not very good-looking now, except that his pupils are bloodshot because he has not had a good sleep for a long time, and his face is also full of anger.
Because he had just received a document from his newly formed game split department that passed through him, this article was too important, so he needed to see it himself, but after Minoru Arakawa saw it himself, a anger appeared on his face that could not be suppressed no matter what.
"It's too much of a deception."
From his clenched teeth, Minoru Arakawa spat out these four words.
He just saw that it was a quotation list for the game rights that the industry was interested in Nintendo, which was different from the previous flower-like quotation method, this time, except for Mars Entertainment, Sega, and Sony, other manufacturers withdrew their offers.
In the list of acquisitions proposed by Mars Entertainment, Sega and Sony, none of the games are duplicated with each other.
What does this mean?
This means that the three parties have reached a compromise with each other before the list is exposed.
In other words, they actually carved up Nintendo when Nintendo was not present, which seems to be a prototype for Minoru Arakawa, who is familiar with the history of East Asia.
For example, the Three Kingdoms Restoration Incident that year.
Isn't that exactly what it is? Of course, isn't this also the case with the partition of the Czech Republic before World War II?
What a shame.
Minoru Arakawa's heart was dripping blood, he really didn't expect that the scene would become such a situation, and incomparable anger burned in his heart: "This is a monopoly!" This is a monopoly and illegal! ”
He roared.
But to no avail, is the World Video Games Association a trust organization?
Yes, definitely.
But what's the use of that?
Even if he has the spirit of fearlessly asking for the people's life, he spent hundreds of millions of dollars in agency fees to fight this lawsuit with the other party, which lasted several years, and the lawsuit was won, and the trust organization of some associations of the World Electronics Association was split, but so what?
The reason why there is such hegemony on the other side is because these three companies monopolize almost all home machine platforms.
To be precise, after Nintendo launched the home console market, they ruled all the home console platforms, as long as the three of them are willing to cooperate, then what's the point of having this world video game association?
Although Minoru Arakawa knows.
Whether it is Hayao Nakayama or Ken Kutaraki, these two are scheming people, and the reason why they were willing to unite with Jester before was only because the benefits of joining forces outweighed the benefits for them.
However, these two people are not willing to be courtiers.
In the future, as these two companies gradually grow, they will definitely be dissatisfied because Mars Entertainment occupies the main interests.
Then, the cracks in this organization will appear, and the rules and regulations of the so-called World Electronics Association will lack the value of existing, and at that time, the World Video Game Association will fall apart. R1152
