At the beginning of March, an announcement was officially published on the official website of Qingyu Network and the homepage of the FG platform, announcing that the platform game "Grand Theft Auto 4" will be officially removed from the shelves in two weeks.

The article makes it clear that players who have purchased will not be affected, they can still play the game normally, and they can still manually update the game by themselves, but they can no longer enjoy a series of services about the game on the FG platform.

Qingyu Network will be committed to purifying the network atmosphere, on this basis to provide high-quality game services for the majority of players, I hope you can understand.

Within the Qingyu Network, Huangpu's FG team also temporarily dispatched additional manpower and worked overtime to conduct a stronger review of the various community content of several games on the report list, the mods on the Innovation Works, and also removed a number of mods made by players suspected of violence, SQ, and abetting crimes.

There are a lot of affected players in China, and more than 200,000 points have been sold in more than two months, which is one of the best-selling games in the country in the history of the FG platform.

Of course, there are complaints, I haven't experienced it before, but after really using the FG platform, I found out how convenient and easy their main network service is, and the 30% sales commission of the herring fish network is not given in vain, since the platform was launched, this one-step service has indeed captured the hearts of a considerable number of players.

Why many electronic and digital products are sold very expensive, but consumers are still flocking to them, it is easy to use on the one hand, there is a forced style on the one hand, and excellent after-sales service and guarantee are also on the other.

Now, although the game can continue to be played, you can also continue to log in to the login machine of R Star for online and network battles, and the card must be the same as always, because the server itself is R Star, and it is not in China, and it has nothing to do with the Qingyu Network. But I can no longer enjoy the services of automatic updates and automatic download of mods, and I am stunned......

Of course, there are more players who understand and will not vent such anger on the herring network, and a little rational player will guide it, everyone understands that the arm can't twist the thigh, this is common sense.

Such a direct and tough removal is not the result that Qingyu Network wants to see, why not make money for them.

In this matter, the herring fish network itself is also a victim.

"What can I do with the fish? Just say, what can they do? What are you doing? Some netizens raised such a question on the video game forum, and then the question stopped the abusers.

yes, what can be done?

"It really can't be." The results of the final discussion.

The bitter joy is that the blue fish network does not stand on the opposite side of the player in this matter, a game company and the player stand on the opposite side, maybe it will not necessarily be finished, but it must be sad.

Even, it makes the relationship between the herring fish network and players one step closer.

In fact, before such a game was put on the shelves, Ye Shenxi knew that one day, this game could be sold openly in Chinese mainland for more than two months, and it could already burn incense and worship Buddha.

In other words, it is more gratifying, based on the speed of response of the relevant departments.

It will definitely be taken off the shelves eventually, but the response is too slow, which means that not enough attention has been paid to it, which is worse.

Have an attitude, be positive; There is an attitude, not a positive one.

If you want to solve the problem in the end, it must be the former that has more advantages.

This is on two different levels with the reaction and attitude of the players.

Ye Shenxi posted a Weibo for this purpose, apologizing to domestic players who have purchased the FG platform "GTA4" in his personal name.

Just one sentence: "I'm sorry." ”

I couldn't have been more concise.

In the hearts of players and fans, Mr. Fang is still as cold as ever, and there is a feeling of amusing the cold, that is, looking at the cold as frost is not very enthusiastic, and sometimes it is quite funny.

Ye Shenxi also wants to say more, but it's really not easy to express any opinions on this matter, and it will stir up the rebellious emotions of the players, which is not what the Qingyu Network wants to see.

The messages behind this Weibo quickly exceeded 1,000, all of them were true love fans, and they tried their best to comfort him......

"Don't cry."

"Isn't it basic common sense that you should bring a selfie to apologize?"

"Let's take a selfie, we want to see the face."

It's crooked......

There are also fans who left a message saying: "It's okay, we can change the country and region of the account, and hang the VPN!" ”

Indeed, "GTA" is only removed from the shelves in China, and foreign countries will naturally not be affected, players can modify the region where their accounts are located, hang up the VPN and change a foreign IP to still buy, download, and play.

But don't say it so blatantly, there are policies and countermeasures, you can play secretly by yourself......

This thing belongs to the player's own behavior.,The blue fish network can't control it.,Anyway, it's been taken off the shelves in the country.。

……

Xia Qingyu told him the meaning of Zhou Xilin's phone call, of course, his attitude was tough and there was no room for maneuver, and Xia Qingyu repeatedly emphasized to Zhou Xilin that the Qingyu Network did not have "that" meaning......

What does it mean, the meaning of bargaining.

But Zhou Xilin also expressed his willingness to compensate for the loss of the herring network, such as various preferential policies and support, or after knowing that the blue fish network planned to establish a motion capture studio in China, the first reaction was to express his willingness to solve the site problem.

Renting a space is not much for the herring network, but this is an attitude that shows the above, and they don't want to snub such a company, in our future cultural output map, it is obvious that the herring fish network has occupied a large position.

And as the herring network continues to grow, his position will become bigger and bigger.

Now many people are still waiting, because everyone has seen a lot over the years, the Internet industry has been accompanied by a bubble since birth, and there are really a lot of companies and products that have gone up and down over the years, and they can lead the trend for a period of time, and soon fall silent, and even slowly disappear from everyone's field of vision.

For example, TOM, eBay, and Yabluff China back then, and the PPG whose capital chain was broken last year all fell straight from the clouds.

The herring fish network has only been around for less than two years, and this fire has been burning, but how long can it be hot? It remains to be seen. After all, it's just a precipitation of a few products.

If one day Qingyu Network really grows into a behemoth, and still adheres to the independent research and development that they are most proud of, and becomes a well-deserved representative of the Chinese game industry, is it possible to modify or even formulate rules for this company at that time?

Or to put it another way, rules must always be formulated, and the Qingyu network may be able to join the team of formulating rules, at least to express their opinions and attitudes, and it will not be so easily ignored.

……

The communication with Take To was very smooth, and the other party said that he was very understanding. China is not the only country to ban the Grand Theft Auto series, the game has been banned in many regions around the world, and it is also banned on the steem platform for a variety of reasons, in addition to the "standard" violence, instigation of crime, and many other strange things such as music licenses, same-sex factors, etc...... It's not the first time they've encountered something like this.

Even "Grand Theft Auto 2", which is also an R-star studio, is almost banned from sale all over the world...... After its release in 07, in the United States, this game is still only available for adults, but it has been rejected in many countries and regions such as Germany, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Italy, Malaysia, New Zealand, etc., and even the rating does not give you points.

Not only that, but they also condemned the existence of such a game in the world.

Take To has seen a lot.

In the email, they also thanked the Blue Fish Network, the FG platform, for its contribution to the sales of other games such as another team's 2K works.

In addition to the 410,000 copies sold worldwide of "Grand Theft Auto 4", titles including the 2K Sports series, the Civilization series, and "BioShock" have also sold hundreds of thousands of copies worldwide on the FG platform. Especially in China, where they didn't make a penny, many players in China are buying their genuine games for the first time, and they are still willing to buy some products that have been released for a few years, and now they can also receive some money, which is really a surprise.

They have already begun to discuss internally whether some subsequent works can add a Chinese Simplified Chinese version.

Old fritters.

……

……

Rao Bin sent the plot outline of the first version of ProjectB to Ye Shenxi by email, the theme is already clear, the theme of chivalry, representing a rebellious spirit and yearning for freedom.

Rebellion, what exactly is rebellion, this is the construction of the game's worldview: theocracy, kingship, class, system...... The confrontation between divinity and humanity.

The recent takedown of "GTA" has made Rao Bin feel like a soldier.

"Mr. Ye, is there a problem with this kind of theme...... Will it be said to be a metaphor, irony, or something like that......"

"What are you thinking about, isn't it that you can't do anything? All real martial arts, Xianxia-themed games, movies and TV series are banned. Don't worry about it. ”

"Oh......"

"By the way, I have something to tell you."

"Eh, listen, you say."

Ye Shenxi thought for a while: "There is a natural logical thing, you go and formulate a set of rules." It's not that urgent, just take the time to do it. ”

"What kind of natural logic?"

"Thunder is going to rain."

"Huh?"

"If it's raining, you have to use an umbrella."

"Whoa!"

"What are you singing along?"

"Ah...... Beside oneself...... Is it the logic of NPC behavior? ”

"Aren't there two sentences above, the latter sentence is what it means, and the previous sentence is some natural logic, just thunder and rain, and lightning, wood will burn when it touches fire, and ......it is possible to fight the enemy with fire exercises in the forest."

"Set fire to the mountain, and sit in the prison."

Ye Shenxi stopped talking.

Rao Bin has this problem, his thinking is too divergent, this characteristic is actually an advantage if used properly, Ye Shenxi has affirmed his way of thinking many times, and this kid is more and more emboldened to want to show his own characteristics.

"I'm sorry...... Mr. Ye, I won't mess around with words......" Rao Bin said weakly.

"Hold on to it." Ye Shen Creek Road.

"Hmm...... I'll keep reminding myself. ”

Ye Shenxi continued the theme: "...... The direction of the wind will affect the fire, water can extinguish the fire, and the ice will slowly melt when it encounters high temperatures. ”

"Will the burned tree grow again?"

"Of course, but it will definitely take some time, you can think about this thing yourself, I have already communicated with Shan Jie and them, the trees in the game, there are many stones, these items have destructible attributes, and naturally there should be a regeneration mechanism."

The game world simulates reality, but not absolute reality, which are two different things.

For example, in many FPS games, the player changes the magazine, which is simulated and real, but after changing the magazine, the bullet will change from 5/100 to 30/75, instead of 30/70, which is for the game itself, because no player will accept that after I change the magazine, the bullet of the last magazine that was not finished will be thrown away directly, and it will become a loss.

Well, you said that the player can press the "R" button to change the magazine after the game is finished, so there will be no loss.

Please, you have to look at the number of bullets left to decide whether you want to change the magazine, how troublesome it is!

And you'll never get the thrill of firing two shots and pressing the "R" button once.

It's like you can't charge your phone right away at 95% charge.

Uncomfortable.

In the same way, the tree will grow again, and it won't take 10 years for the tree to recover.

"How big does this system have to be? It's not complicated to think about, but is it useful? I mean, for players, it's easy for the system to become a gimmick or ornamental decoration, rather than a real part of the game. ”

Regarding Rao Bin's reaction, Ye Shenxi was quite satisfied: "Yes, you caught the point as soon as possible." ”

If you put effort into developing such a system, it will eventually become a gimmick, not only will it not add points to the game, but it will even become a minus.

"So, I have two requirements for you to design this thing. The first is that it conforms to simple natural logic and common sense, and players can easily think of it themselves, and can draw inferences from each other, and then be happy with their ingenuity. The second is that it can destroy enemies against the player, and monsters can play a real role. ”

Rao Bin also thought for a while: "That's mainly the cost, two different ways, whether to jump over and fight with the enemy in hand-to-hand combat, or to fight in such a roundabout way, if the difficulty of the two, or the cost of consumption is too different, no one may choose the other." ”

"Yes, it's natural. Players can think about finding such a way, and they can also destroy enemies, achieve results, and solve puzzles, which is a reward in itself, and they will get a great sense of satisfaction from it. In this process, the loss is only one aspect, and the direct battle is also due to the player's operating skills, and the degree of loss is not necessarily. Roughly described, it is an ordinary standard difficulty and operation player, from the actual result should have about 20% profit, this is just a general example, we will do it after the specific difficulty, anyway, you first build the framework of this thing. ”

"Okay, I'm going to diverge again?"

"Thinking about practical use, I look forward to your performance."
