The arrest of the "OH" four-person gang is not the first criminal case in the country to use illegal plug-in programs in online games to make profits, in fact, earlier, Shengda, Tenghua and NetEase have maintained long-term cooperation with the police, and have cleaned up a number of plug-in teams, but they have never been as fast as Qingyu Network this time, clean and neat.

It's only been a month since OH began to appear in the player's field of vision, to the time it began to spread, and then the climate picked up slightly, and finally fell with a bang. There are still many players who have not encountered this legendary script and have been knocked out with a heavy punch.

After the gang leader was arrested and the servers were seized, all 4,700 purchased accounts according to their sales records were no longer able to use the script. Because they are all sold in the nature of day cards and monthly cards, you also need to log in to the account they give to connect to the server to use it......

Players on social media applauded and amazed at the arrest, as they had seen too many games that ended up dying in the end over the years, and too many companies that couldn't afford to fight it and were mired in the quagmire.

The report of the Qingyu Network on this matter does not end with the arrest of the suspect, and then the Guancheng Procuratorate will formally file a lawsuit based on the facts of his crime, which is not a civil lawsuit, but a public prosecution under the Criminal Law.

The subsequent development of specific judgments and other events will also continue to be followed by a number of media, sounding the alarm for their successors and providing reference for the judgments of similar cases in the future.

The news was also reported by some relevant foreign media, and it also caused some discussion among the overseas "Eternal War" player group.

On video game forums, players said:

"Yes, online games will always face the problem of plug-ins, whether it is MMOs or competitive MOBAs, there are a large number of gold-mining studios in MMOs that also use plug-ins to automatically brush money, brush equipment, and then sell them for money; In MOBA, it's about improving your ladder score. But ONE is the online game with the fewest plug-ins I've ever seen, and I don't know how much better than other companies in this regard. ”

"I wonder how many years it will be sentenced according to the law? Does anyone popularize science? ”

"You can make more than 1.5 million in three months, which is more than robbery, unless it's a bank. It's also cost-effective to go to prison for a few years, how much money can you make after working for a few years? ”

"If you want to be confiscated, don't think about it."

"I also want to write cheats, does anyone teach?"

And Xia Qingyu's article "Do you still want to try?" Below Weibo, the replies were also full of "I don't want to try, I don't want to try......

……

……

Ye Shenxi finally received the call from the capital, which did not go through the company, but directly to his private mobile phone.

Nominally, of course, this should have been a private meeting.

At that time, Ye Shenxi was still looking at a data submitted by Tan Xun, the boss of the FG platform, and compared a number of user data between FG and Steem in the past six months. Some of them are from Villefort, and some are market surveys commissioned by data and information companies in the United States, both of which are not necessarily accurate, but they should be a reference.

The FG of the herring fish network has been catching up with Villefort Steem very quickly.

In the first half of the year, Steem released a total of 433 new games, and the FG platform was 292, as an emerging digital distribution platform, it was launched five years later than Steem, but FG has been recognized by many manufacturers and is willing to put games on them for sale.

In terms of active users, Steem reached 34.3 million and FG also had 24.4 million...... Of course, there is a huge bonus for Eternal War users, after all, the FG platform also has a very convenient and easy-to-use accessibility function for ONE.

If you exclude pure Eternal War users, that is, those who don't play any games on FG at all except Eternal War, the number of FG active users drops to 19.5 million.

The gap between the two in the number of paid users will be greater, and the paying users are not the majority on both platforms, after all, more players are currently only choosing some free game download experiences, Steem has about 4.5 million paying users, while FG is 3.12 million, from this point of view, FG's payment rate is slightly higher.

Even if Steem's largest user region is the United States, it is the place with the most paying users, because of the ease of use, even the user-friendly interface, and the feature-rich and user-friendly...... The gap between the two is significant.

Tan Xun couldn't hide the joy on his face when he submitted the report, the FG platform was launched in June last year, but it really started to increase the payment system, and the game store and market were in August, that is, less than a year, it was almost to the height that Steem spent six years working hard to reach.

However, Ye Shenxi's natural way at this time Steem has not yet entered a real period of rapid development, and then there are two highly influential products in the world should be coming, "CS GO" and "Rota2", which are both big killers that will raise Steem's influence to another height.

Although Eternal War dominates the vast majority of the MOBA market, the Rota brand itself has considerable appeal and charm, and they are always the original and orthodox sequels that will still have a large number of diehards.

However, to say that FG will not be able to surpass Steem in the future, he himself is not very convinced.

"Beautiful stats." Ye Shenxi said to Tan Xun and patted this old brother's shoulder.

Then the call came.

The call came from the General Office of Ministry H, Ye Shenxi said a few more words with a serious expression, said a few more words, and hung up quickly, and then asked Chen Xiaofan to book a ticket to the capital.

Then he opened a document from the computer, densely packed with thousands of words, with an outline and an explanation, and some data tables...... After thinking about it carefully, these are all things he wrote during this time, which can be regarded as some thoughts on his years in the industry.

Some of them should be implemented in his opinion, and some of them don't need to be thought about for a short time, but he still wants to say it.

Anyway, he just took it as a casual chat in the past, and he didn't bother to think about what to say and what not to say, just say what he wanted to say, as for whether it would be used as a reference, then he couldn't care, or couldn't control it for the time being.

……

When passing by the audio group, he heard a ding-dong sound from inside, Ye Shenxi knocked on the door and went in, and saw three people making a bunch of rags.

There are now three people in this working group, and Murong soon brought three graduate students directly from the school, which can be regarded as directly recruited by her. One man and one woman, the man's name is Cheng Fen, and the woman's name is Zuo Yinan, one is in charge of the MMO of Li Zhi's project team, and the other is doing both, playing and something.

It's also that Murong doesn't have any social connections, so he can only recruit people he knows.

Obviously, half a month ago, everyone was still a classmate relationship, and at the graduation banquet, they talked about wine and talked about meeting again after 20 years, but it became a relationship between superiors and subordinates in a blink of an eye...... It's more diligent than when I was studying.

And Murong entered the game company is also a good story among his classmates, and he went directly to the Qingyu Network after graduation, and he is directly the head of the department, which is simply enviable, maybe only the "entrepreneurial giant" in the Qingyu Network can have such an opportunity, but there is nothing else for such a company.

Cheng Fen and Zuo Yinan were a little startled when they saw Ye Shenxi coming in...... Both of them are Murong classmates who like to play games, and she also has standards for recruitment, not completely cronyism. I usually play "Eternal War" and "The Origin of All Things", so I naturally knew Ye Shenxi's name, so I stood up straight and bowed: "Mr. Ye! ”

Ye Shenxi said: "You are busy, I will just walk around." ”

Murong was still reading the various worldview background settings sent by Rao Bin.

Since the establishment of the project, a total of 18 people in Rao Bin have been directly separated by the company's copywriting team that has become the Eighteen Arhats, and the Twelve Golden Saints are specifically responsible for this project, and in five months, they have built a detailed world view of more than 500,000 words.

Including the division of various forces, historical background, ethnic customs in various regions, ecological landforms, etc., all-inclusive.

The goal is to strive for a description of each object, a mantra for the characters, and so on.

For example, it makes sense that a character who comes from the border of a country and grows up in a perennial war environment should develop a character that cherishes his life extraordinarily, or it is possible to be particularly reckless, or it may be necessary to see if he has suffered any major changes, blinded by hatred and so on.

Under different personalities, people tend to have different behaviors, what they like to eat, what they wear, how they speak, how they behave in the world, and so on.

Rao Bin: That's what they did.

Then come up with hundreds of megabytes of documentation, and everyone involved in the project had to read through it first...... Of course, there is also the English version, and people who are salmon in Seattle will have to watch it.

These hundreds of trillions are just background settings, not including more task flows.

When Murong read the feelings, he took a pen and wrote and drew on the paper, imagining the history of the game described in the document, and the stories that had happened one by one, bringing himself into the scenes and emotions of the time, and the inspiration germinated, and he began to compose music.

Several people's musical instruments have been transported from the capital, and some have been added, and now half of this office is piled up with all kinds of groceries, and half of the place is filled with musical instruments and other equipment, which is indeed a little crowded.

He took a guitar, pressed a chord with his left hand, plucked the string with his right hand, and a melody sounded.

Murong turned his head and looked at Ye Shenxi a little strangely, he didn't expect Ye Shenxi to have a guitar.

Ye Shenxi smiled: "I know a little about fur." ”

Murong didn't speak.

Ye Shenxi said again: "When I saw the guitar, I thought about it casually, and my hands itched for a while." ”

Murong said, "You are a chord...... There is a problem with the posture of the hand. She still thought about it for a while, whether to directly point out the shortcomings of her boss, the workplace is not as good as school, and she didn't expect that she would also give in...... Hesitation to give in to the day.

Ye Shenxi didn't care: "I've explored it myself, it's good to be able to pop up." ”

"What song did you just play come from?"

""Daughter's Love", you haven't heard of it, have you?"

Murong shook his head: "It's not that I haven't heard it, it's that you haven't heard it." ”

"Is it possible that there is something wrong with your piano, or something out of tune?" Ye Shenxi said righteously.

"Just tuned the tone, you keep playing." Murong shook his head again.

"Huh?"

"Just got a little bit of inspiration."

"Okay."

……

……

Yangcheng, Huangyi headquarters.

Ding Yicheng, who has been promoted to the director of Huangyi's online game division and the vice president of Huangyi Games, has been very annoying recently, annoyance is the main tone, but it belongs to the kind of joy in annoyance, joy and worry.

Yesterday, he just sent an internal email to the whole company, officially announcing that after a year and nine months of exploration, the company's five web game project teams that have invested a lot of money and manpower before and after officially announced their dissolution, which also means that Huang Yi officially withdrew from the web game market, well, it seems that he has not even really stepped in.

This matter was actually expected, and he still remembered that when he talked to Ye Shenxi on the phone the year before last, Ye Shenxi directly pointed out that their company was "genetically inconsistent" with the page game. At that time, Ye Shenxi had a bunch of **, he felt that there was some truth, but he also had his own dissatisfaction.

In the face of such a big sweet cake,I always want to try it.,Five web games have been launched one after another.,But none of them made any waves.,The best one has only achieved a peak of more than 50,000 people.,All users imported through their own portals.。 They do not have the tradition of handing over their self-developed projects to other agents, they operate themselves, and natural users also need to import them themselves.

The intermodal mode has begun to appear, and there are some products that operate together through this model, and the total turnover has also been very beautiful, 350 million, and the news has broken from time to time, and this model Huang Yi is also acceptable.

But in the process of contacting those platforms, Ding Yicheng also came into contact with the dark side that has emerged in the domestic market. It has been rumored that there are two factions in China's web game circle, which are composed of a number of web game operation platforms in Huangpu and Yangcheng.

When they found these platforms, the heads of the other parties blatantly demanded kickbacks. This part is not a share with the other company, but directly give some money to the person in charge, and they will agree to the platform to operate the game.

It has been rumored that there are two factions in China's web game circle, which are composed of a number of web game operation platforms in Huangpu and Yangcheng. The other party claimed that if one family did not give it, the entire southern school would not act as an agent for this product.

Later, their web game team tried it, and sure enough, it did.

For the field of web games, Huang Yi can't intervene, and he can't talk about any influence, those emerging web game platforms stand above their heads like this, Ding Yicheng and Ding Sanshi are very uncomfortable, but there is nothing they can do. This is no longer in the same category as the traditional gaming circle, which is strange but also a reality.

Naturally, they can't afford to pay, but they just don't want to.

Okay, then operate it yourself, and the users can guide all by themselves, and find the channels yourself.

With the growth of the web game market, the cost of user guidance is naturally increasing.

Moreover, as soon as other channels heard that it was Huang Yi's game, they immediately opened their mouths, and the original one piece was two pieces and one user, but now there are all five pieces, all five pieces.

Huang Yi is unwilling to suffer this kind of loss, so he can only advertise through his own portal and some game media...... And the users on their website are mainly PC game players themselves, so they are not so interested in browser games.

So there is the current result.

There are nearly 200 employees in the five studios, some of whom specialize in the EB field can only be laid off, and the other part of the company is internally digested and dispersed into various project teams.

……

This is not the most annoying thing, because it can be regarded as a long time of mental preparation.

The most annoying thing is, of course, "Warcraft".

Since April, Huang Yi has obtained the exclusive agency rights of "Warcraft" in the mainland, and in early June, Shicheng officially closed their server, which should have been the opening of Huang Yi's "Warcraft" server next.

Ding Sanshi, CEO of Huang Yi, and Mike, CEO of Glass Slag, issued a joint announcement, announcing that the first set of servers will be opened in late June, and other servers will be opened in the following weeks.

However, for this old game, which has been operating in China for 4 years, the Copyright Administration has asked for re-approval. Huang Yi resubmitted the application, but there has been no reply so far.

For this project, Huang Yixin recruited 500 employees to ensure the normal operation of "Warcraft" in the mainland, carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future, and create more brilliance. So far, all the work related to the launch of the server has been ready, and in cooperation with glass slag, their new hardware facilities to support "Warcraft" have been 100% installed, and the installation and commissioning of the hardware and system have been completed ahead of schedule, and corresponding adjustments have been made in terms of data analysis and testing.

The most important thing is that the data of all the players has been obtained from Stone City.

But the approval is stuck, and I can't open the service.

In the face of players waiting to be fed, Huang Yi could only issue an announcement saying that although "Warcraft" is an online game that has been imported, it still needs to go through the necessary regulatory approval procedures when the game operator changes, and it is currently actively striving for it.
