Chapter 50: A Last Resort

Xia Qingyu obviously thought about this problem, and also changed his serious face: "As the market plate is getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more players to choose from, and everyone is becoming more and more impetuous." ”

Like in the past, when there was no Internet, everyone got a stand-alone game, even if the gameplay was not so interesting, the equipment was not so rich, the character image and skill effects were not so cool, and the maze was so anti-human that people couldn't get out for a day and a night, but people would still clear the level with great interest, over and over again, that was the best memory of their growth, and those games would be talked about and regarded as classics many years later.

However, is the game really not as fun as it used to be? Probably, but more often than not, people have more choices and people have become impetuous.

Today's gamers are accustomed to giving up the game when they first feel that it is not to their liking when they enter the game, and then continue to look for the next product that can pass the time.

The games that had been skipped sank to the bottom of the sea, and one by one the manufacturers who developed them closed their doors.

Come on, everyone is very busy, and now that life is so fast-paced, how many people still want to seriously study and think about how to play a game?

Game practitioners are increasingly knowing how to cater to the tastes of players, hooking players with the simplest operation and the most brutal gameplay, using arrows guided by novices, using automatic pathfinding systems, and using small red dots on the interface to remind players what to do at this time, so that they can play to a high level without thinking or brainless, and even kill everyone if they charge some money.

It's not a game, it's just a simple numerical competition, so as to gain the recognition of these strangers on the Internet in the game, and breed a sense of superiority.

Players thought so, so manufacturers did, but everyone felt that these games didn't look like games at all.

The web game, the most deformed product created because of the needs of players, will develop to an extreme in the next few years, so that all players can become a mouse-clicking machine that completes the game planning content in an orderly manner according to the planning settings every day, and the players will still enjoy it.

"You don't really like web games at all, do you?" Xia Qingyu looked at Ye Shenxi with pity, and there was tenderness in her eyes. She really understands web games now, and of course she also knows that people who actually make games, they probably don't really like such games.

Ye Shenxi felt her gentleness and said with a smile: "The company wants to develop, making games is also a serious job, and employees should not starve." He remembered some of the people who used to make indie games together, and he didn't know what was going on now.

Xia Qingyu said: "Ideal and bread." ”

Ye Shenxi nodded.

Xia Qingyu laughed at himself: "And then it is these game companies that bear the infamy, circle money, pits, and black-hearted ......" There is also a lot of discussion about the fairy road on the Internet now, of course, there are many people scolding. In Xia Qingyu's view, there may be an inappropriate metaphor for paparazzi reporters, readers want to see celebrity gossip, so there is such a business as paparazzi, paparazzi go to shoot, shoot and are scolded, saying that they have lost their conscience.

But she thinks that making games is still different from paparazzi, and the paparazzi do violate other people's privacy, but I make games, you can play if you like to play, and you can recharge if you love to recharge, and if you don't like to play in the upper right corner, who is in the way?

Ye Shenxi knew that she was not happy in her heart, and said with relief: "The game market is a very young market, both manufacturers and players are still very young, and manufacturers also have a lot of responsibility, but where there are interests, there will be a lot of gray things before the industry norms are formed." ”

Xia Qingyu understood what Ye Shenxi meant: "PPT entrepreneurship, false advertising, financing pit investors' money, online game guilds, mercenary deliberately create contradictions among players and then let them recharge PK, bottomless pit like smelting gems to strengthen equipment?" She could say so much in one breath.

Ye Shenxi nodded: "Yes, if you say that the front is still a business thing, every industry will exist, but the back is the thing that really hurts players, and over time, players will also lack trust in game companies, so they feel that the world is as black as a crow, and they will be scolded when they see it." ”

Xia Qingyu was very aggrieved with a bitter face, and then scolded her for a lot.

Ye Shenxi comforted: "Maybe these phenomena will not be eliminated in the future, or they will become worse, but no matter which industry, it will take a long time to cultivate qualified merchants and consumers." ”

Xia Qingyu thought thoughtfully, and said by analogy: "For example, the film industry, there are so many genres, after two hundred years of development, so many revolutions and waves, there is today's grand occasion. ”

Ye Shenxi said with a smile: "Chinese films are only a hundred years old, but now there are still many bad movies with high box office, and literary and artistic niche films have a dismal box office, and no one even distributes them, so they can only seek overseas and sell some DVDs to recover their costs." I remember a director said that it's not that his movies are not good, but that this audience is not good. ”

Xia Qingyu was curious: "Which director?" ”

"Forgot ......"

Xia Qingyu suddenly thought: "Mauritian love story!" She remembered this movie some time ago, scolded on the Internet, but the box office was still very good.

"Yes, it's typical. As for the game industry, it has only been a few years, and one day this group of players will slowly grow up after experiencing the baptism of a sufficient number of games, and know how to distinguish a good game. ”

"That's a teenager......"

"Of course, game practitioners also need to guide it, maybe after hundreds, thousands of games, how to say, huh...... The player's consciousness awakens. ”

Xia Qingyu sneered: "The genuine consciousness has not yet awakened." ”

Then he turned into a serious face and said seriously: "In two months, when you recruit a new producer, you can let it go." ”

"Huh?" Ye Shenxi didn't understand what it meant.

"You don't want to do page games anymore, do terminal games, anyway, what do you want to do! Anyway, even if the newly opened web game project doesn't make money, the game "Immortal Dao" can also support the team. Xia Qingyu looked directly at Ye Shenxi.

In fact, Ye Shenxi himself thought so, but he didn't tell Xia Qingyu, but he didn't expect this Nizi to take the initiative to mention it.

Xia Qingyu thought for a while and said: ""The Way of the Immortals" is also handed over to other producers, and you can pass through them when they open new page game projects, check the checks, communicate with the producers, and concentrate on new projects." ”

"We're going to open several projects in a row......" Ye Shenxi quipped.

"There's money now anyway." Xia Qingyu also laughed.
