Xiao Xiao spent the whole night watching the live broadcast, the more he watched, the more he felt that this platform was powerful, not only bringing together the new games that had been logged in to the PC platform, but also the ported versions of various classic games, as a game platform, Steam did not have the slightest lack of games!

Although it is now an internal test and only those who are invited can use the platform, the live broadcasts of major streamers have undoubtedly ignited the enthusiasm of players.

Xiao Xiao thought that this may also be a strategy of Hatsune Games, that is, to find a large number of anchors to broadcast live, so as to bring traffic and discussion.

In any case, judging from the perception of the first day, Xiao Xiao was very satisfied.

Thinking of this, he was a little eager to try, after all, the indie game awards not only have a generous prize, but also follow-up promotion, for an indie game producer, this kind of reward is really hard not to be impressed.

But the next day, after he casually said a few words in the group, someone immediately came out to refute it.

[Blue Tempest]: Wake up, do you really think that Hatsune Games is for charity, just listen to those bonus promotions or something, is he Xu Rui really willing to support other game studios?

[Strawberry Jam]: That is, Suoren Mutual Entertainment has not had similar competitions before, but in the end, the winner must join Suoren Mutual Entertainment and become its studio in order to get distribution and promotion.

[Beef Ramen]: Actually, it would be nice if it could be turned into a studio owned by these game companies.

[Air-dried toilet paper]: It turns out that everyone is self-interested, and no game company will do anything to support other creators, or it is for their own interests.

[Under the Sycamore Tree]: And I think that the solicitation time for this contest is so short, it is estimated that there is an insider in it, maybe Hatsune Games has already found a few production teams and asked them to develop in advance, and then take advantage of this competition to stir up a wave of popularity, be selected in a high-profile manner, and finally enter Hatsune Games to release works, what do you think of this script?

[Golden Moon]: Hatsune Games wants to do this, why bother so much, I think you are just souring others.

Most of the active people in the group, Xiao Xiao, know each other, some of them have been on the front line of game development, and they often release works, and some have made games before, but now they are no longer in this line of work, only chatting and blowing water in the group, and some have changed from the identity of independent game makers to real game practitioners and become industry insiders.

There are still many inactive people, some of them have personalities and don't like to communicate online, and more of them have faded out of the career they once loved and are unwilling to contact similar characters again.

Some people who have entered the game industry from independent game makers have naturally become the "big guys" in the group, and whenever they appear, many people start to tout, and of course, there are also people who are not used to speaking, and after a few debates, there will always be some people who quit the group, or no longer appear.

And when the "big guys" are gone, many people begin to ridicule the current game industry, thinking that institutionalization will make the spirit feel restricted, and most of the games in the industry are just old games changing skins.

Xiao Xiao has little say in this, and he himself privately once felt that he could change this stagnant industry, but at the same time, he also envied the rich income and reputation of those famous game producers.

He didn't pay much attention to what the group said, after all, they were all netizens, and I don't know if these people really think that the independent game awards on the Steam platform are for show, or if they are talking about it and secretly participating behind their backs.

Xiao Xiao closed the chat box, set the DND mode, opened the document and began to conceive, he had some fragmentary inspiration before, but he had no motivation to improve, and now, with the idea of participating, he mustered up his energy.

Until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Xiao Xiao yawned, turned off the file after saving, lay down on the bed after washing, and habitually took out his mobile phone to see if there was any news in the past few hours, and as a result, he soon saw a well-known game producer's Weibo.

Dragoon Studios - Yin Zhensi: Although the Independent Game Award is worth looking forward to, we also have to consider whether the selection criteria are transparent, whether the review of entries is perfect, and the positioning of the final winning works.

......

Hardcore technology, Dragoon studio office area.

Shen Gushu looked at the overwhelming retweets on Weibo, and frowned.

"I told you a long time ago not to speak casually, what can I do now."

At the same time as he was beside him, Yin Zhensi did not feel sad at all, but was a little excited.

"It's okay, I'm not wishing them the best of luck."

Yin Zhensi was straightforward, and after seeing the Steam Platform Independent Game Award, he quickly posted that Weibo, although it seemed to be congratulating the Steam Platform, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was insinuating that the Steam Platform was the same as the previous competition done by Suo Ren Mutual Entertainment, and therefore, this Weibo quickly spread in the gamer circle, and everyone argued.

"It doesn't matter if the steam platform really doesn't end up in the end, but if the steam platform does, then your words will offend people."

Shen Gushu is older and has more experience, he doesn't want Yin Zhensi to be as strong as him, even if he is backed by hard-core technology, Shen Gushu is still low-key and does not easily offend others.

In fact, Yin Zhensi's thoughts, Shen Gushu also knows, joined the hardcore technology at a young age, and worked as a producer in the best dragoon studio, and anyone will be a little proud, and now, the steam platform of Hatsune Games is undoubtedly a competitor of several existing major manufacturers, and the console platform, and it is not surprising that Yin Zhensi stood on his own position and ridiculed.

Even within hardcore technology, there is a lot of scoff at the steam platform.

A classic game? It's just an old-fashioned game that has been eliminated by the times.

Big factory union? Ninety percent of the sales of these companies are on consoles, and PCs are a fraction of what they do.

Indie games? This kind of simple game is just a fresh hunt, and it is not an opponent of a serious game at all.

In the eyes of many employees of Hardcore Technology, the Steam platform and Hatsune Games are not to be feared at all, and their opponents are actually only Suoren Entertainment.

But Shinyaki doesn't think so, if "The Last of Us" can also be said to be Hatsune Games' extreme current game genre, "Breath of the Wild" is a work that completely subverts the existing game genre, enough to leave a name in the history of games, from these two games, you can see Hatsune Games' strong production strength and eclectic creativity.

For Shinyaki, Hatsune Games is the opponent that should be taken seriously.
