Chuan Shu, Shen Baa saw the news about Hatsune Games' game platform "Steam" and felt incredulous.

Originally, everyone speculated that this game platform might be exclusive to Hatsune Games, for the future release of "Monster Hunter".

But what I didn't expect was that this gaming platform turned out to be an agency platform.

The so-called agency platform,It is equivalent to a retailer on the Internet,In the past,Game companies generally have to sell physical games through major game stores,Few have their own game theme stores,And on the Internet,Players want to download a vast number of games,You must pay on the official website of each game company,Get the activation code,You may have to register an account as needed,Very troublesome。

The agency platform is the integration of these small and medium-sized game companies, players can buy games on the platform as long as they register an account on the platform, download, play, one account, you can play all the games.

In fact, the essence of the host platform is also such a proxy platform, but hardware is added as a threshold.

In other words, the better the game sells, the higher the platform's income, and when the platform makes money, it can attract more manufacturers, forming a virtuous circle.

But at the same time, this is also a troublesome place, if the platform's revenue does not meet expectations at the beginning, then it will become more and more bleak, and the manufacturers are not willing to move in, and eventually go out of business.

In the past, some gaming media sites have tried to form a gaming alliance, but they have failed due to the resistance of console manufacturers and several large game companies.

And Hatsune Games' game platform "Steam" has undoubtedly become a thorn in the side of game companies that currently occupy the mainstream discourse at the beginning of the announcement.

Not to mention anything else, in Shen Baba's fan base, there is already a tendency to argue.

[Baa Baa's Broken Hand]: Hatsune Games has great ambitions, but I don't know if I can do it, and now most medium-sized manufacturers are choosing black boxes and SN4 for exclusive use, and generally no one dares to get on this new platform.

[Emergency Money Machine]: Although Hatsune Games seems to have a big position, but when you think about it, there are actually only two console games, both of which are SN4 exclusives, and this new platform doesn't even have a town, so I don't think it's good.

[The only designated Tengu]: Although there are only two games, but both of these games are big hits, I have reason to believe that "Monster Hunter" will also be a big hit, and when the time comes, players will come to this platform to play, and other games will naturally sell well.

[Women Sing and Men Die]: Do you think Suoren Mutual Entertainment and hardcore technology will not interfere with the development of this platform, in addition, there are still a few old companies on the PC, such as Tsunami Games, they have built a game platform of their own, and they are also preparing to expand to other companies, looking at it, they are all enemies of Hatsune Games.

[Baa Baa White Silk]: To be honest, I feel that the works of those big companies will not land on this "steam" platform for the time being, and the first half a year, I guess they are all small games.

Shen Baa looked at the group chat for a while, and heard someone QQ looking for her, so she switched the window.

This is the editor of Hatsune Video Network who is responsible for contacting these game streamers, and he brought the pre-test qualification of Hatsune Games' platform "Steam".

......

Suo Ren Mutual Entertainment, the head of the game development department, and the third development department, Li Zhen, saw the news in the computer, and felt not surprised, but a kind of emotion.

From the first moment he saw Xu Rui and came into contact with his creative development ideas, he understood that this man would not just be willing to make games to make money, just as he did in the animation industry, Xu Rui wanted to change the entire industry.

Even in Suoren Mutual Entertainment, Li Zhen has to admit that when Suoren Mutual Entertainment was the dominant family at that time, the game industry was indeed silent for a long time, at that time, most PC games were independent games, and there was a lack of stand-alone masterpieces, and only online games occupied players' screens.

In console games, all game manufacturers must curry favor with Suoren Mutual Entertainment and create under the restrictions of Suoren Mutual Entertainment.

Later, the launch of the black box by hard-core technology was a competition to seize the market in the eyes of Suoren Mutual Entertainment, but in the eyes of players, it was indeed a good thing.

In order to cope with the black box's gold membership system, Suoren Mutual Entertainment's monthly membership free games have also changed from a small game of dozens of yuan at the beginning, an old game many years ago, to an exclusive first-party masterpiece from time to time.

The discounts on the holidays made players smile, and at the same time, in order to snatch players, the game development departments of the two companies also riveted their efforts and tried their best to make the game the best.

For third-party manufacturers, the two formulas have also launched various discounts, so to speak, the entry of hard-core technology has indeed brought the entire dull game circle to life.

But just as the dragon slayer grew scales and became an evil dragon, after the hardcore technology grew to a certain scale, it also appeared in a similar state to Suo Ren Mutual Entertainment, but the two sides were still in fierce competition and it was not obvious.

In the case of Li Zhen, the problem with game development is the most significant.

When a new game is developed by hard-core technology, Suoren Mutual Entertainment will immediately set up a project to develop a similar one, and it will also limit the development cycle, many games that should have been carefully polished for two or three years have been put on the shelves because of competition, and even a semi-finished product is taken out and sold, which has a great impact on the reputation of the development team.

For example, the previous "Hymn" was obviously a work that was forced on the shelves, but everyone saw it, the studio's reputation was ruined, and the reputation plummeted.

Xu Rui's "steam" platform, if it fails, it will have no impact, but if it succeeds, then it will undoubtedly be a huge impact on the industry.

Manufacturers can not only choose the console platform, but also choose the PC platform, at the same time, small studios can also have more convenient release and promotion channels, over time, the "steam" platform will gather a large number of small and medium-sized manufacturers, in the depth and breadth of content, quickly surpass the hard-core technology that has accumulated for many years of Suoren Mutual Entertainment and spend a lot of money to buy content.

And these small and medium-sized manufacturers may not really always be small and medium-sized manufacturers, maybe which game becomes a hit, it will quickly become popular and become a big factory with a big name, and at that time, the future of the game industry will be in the hands of Hatsune Games.

In fact, the popularity of "Made in the Wilderness" was actually a rehearsal, but at that time, no one could see the layout behind it.

With a sigh, Li Zhen closed the webpage and continued his work, his previous prediction was half right, the action game he is currently developing, it is estimated that it is really going to collide with Hatsune Games' "Monster Hunter".
