Chapter 82: Cooperation
With a straight face, hearing Gabe Newell's words, Zhao Hao immediately straightened up, knowing that the main event was coming.
However, Zhao Hao did not rush to speak, but waited for Gabe Newell to continue.
After listening to Gabe Newell's words, Zhao Hao almost understood what it meant.
It is to set up a special 'Minecraft' mod area for the favored light on steam, and then let players choose to vote and sell these map mods.
"In order to choose the light of favor, you must know that in our official website forum, it is completely possible to do this." Looking at Gabe Newell, Zhao Hao said slowly.
He was not in a hurry to use mind reading and observe Gabe Newell, because Zhao Hao clearly understood that mind reading was only an auxiliary skill, and he would never be able to completely rely on this skill.
"Because of our Steam favor, we have more experience in managing this kind of business, and most importantly, we can ensure the security of our users' trading accounts, and we have a complete operation team." Gabe Newell said confidently to Zhao Hao.
Hearing Gabe Newell's words, Zhao Hao smiled but did not speak, in fact, in addition to Zhao Hao's experience in management, it is not difficult to do anything else.
"Well, tell me your terms." Seeing Zhao Hao's unmoved appearance, Gabe Newell couldn't help but shrug his shoulders and asked Zhao Hao helplessly.
In fact, Gabe Newell's MOD aspect of 'Minecraft' is very clear.
It's definitely a huge piece of cake.
According to the known information, the game 'Minecraft' has sold more than 1.5 million copies worldwide, and with the measures to open up mods for this work, Gabe Newell has no doubt that this is definitely a hot game.
As for Zhao Hao's Space Gate Studio, even if there are no more popular games in the future, just this 'Minecraft' will be able to make them eat cold rice for more than ten years.
A well-known game in the game industry has such a charm, even if it has no strength, it can still sell feelings.
"Quite simply, I want Valve to be the overseas publisher of Minecraft, and our studio has started working on new games, but there are still some issues with the game engine, and I hope to hire some people from Valve to train our staff for the time being." Zhao Hao looked at Gabe Newell and said slowly.
"Of course, there is no problem, but you have to pay 30 percent more than they would have been, and you have to take care of food and shelter for them." Gabe Newell nodded and said to Zhao Hao.
"Of course, that's the way it should be." Zhao Hao nodded and said, there was no objection.
"So nice to work with." With a smile on his face, Gabe Newell said to Zhao Hao.
"It's a pleasure to work with."
After discussing the cooperation, Zhao Hao and Gabe Newell soon began to talk about the current IT market and the future of games on the PC platform.
"In fact, the PC platform has completely untapped potential, do you know the Russian market and the Chinese market? Two markets known for piracy. Gabe Newell looked at Zhao Hao and said.
Without speaking, Zhao Hao nodded slightly, it is true that his country and Russia are big countries in piracy.
Although piracy is common in other countries, it is definitely not as rampant as in these two countries.
"Many console games are reluctant to develop PC, just because of piracy, when our steam entered these two markets, almost anyone in the game industry is not optimistic about our steam, even I am not optimistic." Gabe Newell opened his mouth and said to Zhao Hao.
"But now these two countries and regions have become the two most important game release regions on Steam, although they are nothing compared to the vast land and population, but they still provide more than 15% of the paying users of the Steam platform." Zhao Hao also had an understanding of steam, and immediately spoke.
"That's right, it's actually because of this that I've learned that the reason why people don't buy the original version is just because the game isn't fun enough and the experience for players isn't high enough." Gabe Newell said with a smile.
"In fact, if it's just a stand-alone offline, almost any game of Valve can be cracked very easily, but I can pat my chest and promise that there will never be any more games that can have a higher experience than Valve's games." Gabe Newell said to Zhao Hao full of confidence.
"That's true." Zhao Hao nodded slightly, and then said: "In fact, the direction of the game, in the future, is more important to focus on freedom, or openness, such as the existence of mods." ”
"Exactly the same idea, players don't want to be bound by rules, instead they want to be the ones who make the rules." Gabe Newell clapped his hands and said excitedly to Zhao Hao.
Later, Zhao Hao had a detailed conversation with Gabe Newell, and at the same time, he had some new ideas for the development of the game setting of Fallout.
Liu Dong and Li Hua are still in the VALVE company, communicating with the technicians in it, and Zhao Hao and Torya have returned to the hotel.
"How does it look like you had a great time today?" After the meal and back in the room, Zhao Hao looked at Tolia who fell asleep on the bed and said with a smile.
"There are so many fun games, it's amazing." Toria stretched and said to Zhao Hao with some excitement.
"Then next year's E3 Game Show, I'll take you there, there will be more interesting games at that time, and maybe our games will appear on it at that time." Zhao Hao listened to Tolia's words, smiled slightly and said.
In fact, Zhao Hao did not have time to participate in this year's E3 Game Show, but he was not qualified to participate in the E3 Game Show at all.
Otherwise, Zhao Hao doesn't need to plan so much, and directly has the natural publicity platform of the E3 Game Show.
"But can radiation really be done in a year?" Zhao Hao said secretly in his heart.
One year is when Zhao Hao expects everything to go well, of course, there will be some other things at that time, but the only thing Zhao Hao insists on is that he would rather extend the time to develop the game, and insist on making real masterpieces.
When I return home, I can reveal some information about 'Fallout', and take advantage of the momentum of 'Minecraft' to build momentum.
And after a while, maybe you can also use the influence of valve here to promote the game, but if you want to do that, you probably have to owe G Fat a verbal promise.
When Tolia went to the bathroom to take a bath, Zhao Hao thought secretly in his heart while sleeping on the bed.
For the person G Fat, in today's short meeting, Zhao Hao can only say one word 'fine'.
If it weren't for Zhao Hao's ability to read minds brought by divine power, then Zhao Hao dared to guarantee that he would definitely be sold by G Fat without knowing it.
