"It was so hard, no one knew where they were hiding......" Dawson said at the time, and that was the status quo.

Many cracking groups don't provide a public download address at all after cracking the game, but only provide downloads on the insider's FTP server. After that, someone who downloads the game will publish the game to a private torrent server, which will then be downloaded from the PT website and uploaded to the public network by "good Samaritans".

This layer upon layer of filtering and protection makes it quite difficult to convict the members of the cracking team from a legal point of view, and ...... You can't even find their specific identity.

Like the domestic 3DM, which blatantly claims that we are here and that we are doing cracking, may be really rare.

It is also this part of China, originally many large factories have no interests here, otherwise it will really affect sales, 500,000 sets in the country, 200 yuan a set is 100 million yuan, 100 million yuan is enough to buy your life...... Tsk, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly not going to be a good fruit to eat.

In 05, the FBI once cooperated with law enforcement agencies in 10 other countries to conduct a cleanup operation codenamed "Operation Site Don" against a number of cracked and illegally distributed software, games, music, and film organizations, which was the fourth anti-piracy operation they had carried out with global law enforcement organizations. In that operation, more than 70 joint sweeps in the continental United States and more than 20 in 10 other countries were carried out, and more than 100 joint sweeps, and multiple game cracking groups were cleared.

Even so, more survived and reborn.

Wildfires never burn out.

The original geeks were just yearning to challenge encryption, and in the game with the anti-piracy party, they were the first to announce that they had successfully cracked the game and gained an unprecedented sense of accomplishment. But once it's profitable, a lot of things can no longer be pure.

"yes, I can't find anyone, so we're ...... And what can be done? Ye Shenxi said.

Ye Shenxi knew that Dawson wanted to unite with multiple manufacturers, and then put pressure on the FBI and ESA to brew another large-scale crackdown on cracking organizations that swept the world. This time, the targets include the surviving RELOADED (Team R), razor1911, Skidro (Team S), arez, conspiracy (CPY) and other old and new hacking organizations. With his position, he naturally couldn't raise an objection, but he knew very well that it would be useless.

"Anti-piracy operations can certainly be organized as much as possible, and then we need more advanced anti-piracy technologies. The most important thing is that we should serve our own service so that players feel sincere, which is the source of the elimination of piracy. Moreover, FG is so easy to use, why don't PC players spend some money to play on FG. ”

Dawson knew the attitude of the herring fish network, and he would not oppose it, but he would not support it, so he could only say, "Okay, Pasca, I understand." ”

This year's "Getaway" The world's major cracking groups have released their own cracked versions, but there is no one in China, it's very simple, I said hello.

Qingyu Network has a little face in China, and various famous "free installation" game release and reprint websites still have to be given, and no seeds have been released.

However, there are still a small number of players who communicate through some other channels, after all, the Internet is too big and too difficult to fully regulate.

Even so, in some, such as the ferry post bar, a player issued a "Ask for the cracked version of "Getaway" seeds, Xun Lei, and the download link of the electric donkey. Such a post was immediately followed by many players scolding.

", you're still playing pirated versions of this game? What about conscience? ”

"I sneaked around and asked by myself, and I posted a special question?"

“*******！”

Some players were more emotional and their rhetoric was a little more intense.

There are also many people who call on everyone to buy genuine support.,There are also domestic stand-alone games in the past.,But the reasons are different.。 In the past, there were more domestic stand-alone games that were going to die.,The development team can't survive.,This classic series is almost gone.。

Now one, this game, deserves your support.

……

In August of this year, Tenghua and 360's "3Q war" was in a uproar, and most of the Internet media's attention was focused on here, and netizens across the country were also out of a kind of upsurge to see the excitement.

There aren't many people who notice the news outside of the herring online game.

On August 21, Bluefish Network announced that it had completed the acquisition of C4Cake, a Minnesota media company in the United States, a company focusing on the production of CG animation. The whole company has about 40 people, and its reputation is not very obvious, and it is only a new team that was established just last year, but it has become one of the stars on the spot at this year's siggraph exhibition.

As a result, for the second time, they landed on the front page of some media news, which was acquired by Fisoa, a gaming giant from China.

This is of course one of the best destinations for this group of young men, the largest application direction of their technology, in addition to movies and games, there have also been film and television and game companies that have proposed acquisitions to them before, but all things considered, the herring fish network is the largest, the strongest background, and the most stable.

It's a company that has money, and then it's really growing, it's expanding its business at a rapid pace, and it's clear that it's going to start working in a number of areas in the future, and the founders are not just getting cash, but also future development opportunities, strong technical backing.

It is indeed great to be able to enter the herring network.

This also means that the Blue Fish Network now has its own CG animation production department, which provides CG animation support for the company's internal game projects, rather than outsourcing.

Later, all but a few employees who are reluctant to leave Minnesota, except for a few employees who are reluctant to leave Minnesota, will move to Seattle and work with Salmon Studios in the next month.

The purchase price was cheap, at only $3.5 million, which was the result of a sharp display on the siggraph.

Ye Shenxi didn't know what kind of fancy name Miss Xia would give to others, the grace of heaven was unpredictable, so he could only say that they were asking for more blessings.

Miss Xia now has a large amount of liquid money in her hand, and she is worried that she has no place to spend it.

also let Ye Shenxi's staff officer.

She has little interest in physical distribution, which was first influenced by Ye Shenxi, and then I also saw that the global physical game market is slowly shrinking, not to mention China, the most developed American market, 08 years when their first game "Survival" was launched, the physical distribution and digital distribution of the game were about the ratio of seven or three.

And this year's "Getaway" has become five or five years later.

As the network bandwidth of players increases, more and more players will choose to download through the network instead of going to the game store to buy the disc.

The impact on the traditional game sales industry is huge, and even the traditional leader Gamestop has to start looking for revenue directions other than disc sales and leasing.

Giants like EA and Yubi have also joined the stage of digital distribution.

In other game-related fields, Xia Qingyu's plan is to build a true pan-game empire.

Every link involved in the game, she wants to plug in a foot, not just a foot, Qingyu Network wants to cover a game, from IP to its own most uncomfortable research and development, to distribution, publicity, and even all the surrounding links.

That's what an empire can be.

The acquisition of C4Cake is just part of the story, and now she's in contact with several companies, waving a checkbook to buy more.

Including Shengda Literature, a subsidiary of Shengda.

From August last year to now, in one year, Shengda Literature has acquired a total of 5 companies, including Banyan Tree, Xiaoxiang Academy, Reading Network Tianfang Listening Book and Yue Reading Network, all of which are online literary websites.

In the future, Qingyu Network will definitely launch a large number of games every year, and so many games can't just be borne by Ye Shenxi alone. As the president of the company, she commands the R&D department of the whole company, and she definitely needs to pay attention to all the projects that are initiated, developed and launched in the company, and has some understanding of the general framework, but that's all.

Ye Shenxi can worry about every project alone, and the company also needs more strong game producers to start double-digit projects at the same time.

With so many projects, some will be original stories, and some of them will of course also need existing well-known IPs. In fact, the two identities of contemporary online literature readers and gamers are highly overlapping, and their preferences for literary works have also changed from traditional literature to the so-called online literature.

If Shengda Literature is acquired, it will at least mean that many projects of Qingyu Network in the future will be supported by strong IP that has great influence among netizens.

On the other hand, the game adaptation itself is also a way to dig deeper into the value of IP.

There is also the E time and space of the capital that went relatively early, and it was also in 08 that they also established zongheng Chinese network.

According to the report provided by Yang Wei, Shengda Literature has lost money for two consecutive years since its establishment in 2008, with a net loss of 22.5 million in 08 and a net loss of 74.5 million last year.

Xia Qingyu's current valuation of Shengda Literature is about 2.5 billion yuan, and she has begun to make substantial contact with Shengda, and if the acquisition can be completed, she will also set up her own IP development center.

There is another target for foreign video sites, which so far are not very famous, especially compared to YouTube, which has established its hegemony in the world. But their biggest advantage is the game.

The site has a clear purpose from the start, focusing on just a few areas: social, tech, sports, entertainment, news, and gaming.

It's not as varied and varied as YouTube.

In fact, at this time, there are also many video chat rooms in the Chinese mainland that are developing hotly, such as Room Six, 9158, Crooked and the like, and many more...... Everybody gets the idea.

The concept of live streaming has actually begun to take shape, but almost always in the form of "runways".

Chatting, cabaret shows, and all the other mess is basically a transfer of what you would find in a traditional nightclub to the internet. As an emerging product, his dissemination has not been carried out at the level of the public, and naturally there are still too many places that cannot be supervised.

At this time, there was still no live content for the concept of the game, which was not available to the whole world, and they began to explore in this direction, relying on their experience with the video and the live chat rooms they had before.

As early as when he first talked about the e-sports ecology with Ji Qinlin, Xia Qingyu had already put forward such a concept, of course, it was also influenced by some Ye Shenxi, and the two of them had countless in-depth conversations about the future game field in private. However, most of them are still planned by Xia Qingyu himself.

There are some things, her pride, and she can't allow Ye Shenxi to point fingers, unless she takes the initiative to ask.

In her opinion, the field of game live broadcast is an important part of the promotion of game content in the future. Sometimes players are more willing to passively watch other people's demos, interesting game modes, or the hottest gameplay at the moment than actively searching for them themselves.

They still have to learn about the game before deciding whether they want to buy, download, and then enter the experience.

Or there are games that are more intense to watch others play than to play themselves......

The site currently has less than a million unique IPs per day, which is far from the scale they later focused on when they focused on their live streaming platform called Titch.

The current valuation is about $80 million to $120 million, which is similar to Xia Qingyu's psychological expectations.

All in all, Mr. Xia is about to open the killing ring, and even she watched the movie "Getaway" pass the approval and officially set up the project, and began to screen actors, and she still wanted to buy a film company by herself, including production and distribution.

Ye Shenxi originally wanted to say: "Fish, calm down, it's worthless if there are too many movies adapted from a company's game, what are you filming after "Getaway", "The Origin of All Things" and "Chang'an Road"?" ”

Huh? It doesn't seem impossible......

Usually just operate it yourself, isn't it the same when you plan to acquire Shengda Literature, the main thing is that you don't have to find others when you want to make a movie, that's the way of thinking.

Xia Qingyu didn't think it before, but now I feel a little bit, buying a company is much cooler than shopping to buy clothes, bags, and cosmetics.

……

……

It's a familiar time again, half past eleven in the evening, the familiar herring network, the familiar development is divided into.

"Escape from the East China Sea", "Dragon Sparrow Run" and "Home Lost" three mobile games have entered the testing stage, the degree of completion has been very high, after today's version of the test is completed, it can be sent to Apple's review department, and then optimize some content, it is expected to be able to officially land on the Fisoa game section on the App Store in mid-September.

Shan Jie's Henggong Studio is responsible for "Escape from the East China Sea" and "Returning Home and Lost", and Li Zhi's merman is in charge of "Dragon Sparrow Run".

Both runaway games are free to download and then add some in-app purchases as payment points. Of course, there will be absolutely no ads in the project of the herring fish network, even if the game is free to download without in-app purchases.

In the past two months, Li Zhi and Shan Jie don't know how many times they have played this game, in their own words, this kind of play is addictive.

Basically, when you go to the lounge to smoke a cigarette, you can take out the test machine and play one or two.

If you're not in great shape, you might be able to play more.

The biggest attraction of this kind of game is the short round, and the various reasons for hanging up will also make you feel that you could have avoided it, and the next time you pay attention to it, you will definitely jump over that obstacle or not hit the wall.

It doesn't have complicated operations, and the simpler the operation, the more difficult it is to test the player's reaction and anticipate these things. The difficulty of the operation is easy to make people think that it is too difficult, but the reaction will not, unless it is so fast that it is impossible to see clearly.

This mental activity stimulates the player's challenge mentality, and another round is quickly started, although the result may not be as good as the previous one.

The time for each one is very short, but so many add up, and the phone quickly runs out of battery.

Even so, on the company's internal test network, they still rank in the bottom of the middle, and most of the people behind them are girls.

I can only sigh, I'm old, and I can't keep up with my reaction......

The employees of the herring network have now figured out that in the game, there is no need to give too much face to the leader......

But the two watched Ye Shenxi's fingers slide and tap the screen, and the entire operation flowed smoothly, easily surpassing their all-time high.

"What's the situation...... "You didn't practice secretly in Seattle, did you?"

"No, talent." Ye Shenxi said.
