The launch of "Time Lock" can be regarded as a major hidden danger of Tianba Studio and eliminates Chen Ba's worries.

Players can also accept it.

If you don't accept it, you can't help it, except for "Don't Go After School: Pinballs", which other game on the market will give advertising money to players?

Dream on!

This is the only game in the world, and there is no second game in the world that gives players a share of advertising money, so players have no choice.

"That's right, Brother Ba!"

Xiao Lu asked curiously, "This time lock shouldn't be transplanted to other games, right?" ”

"It depends!"

"If it's a game like "Love Staff", where players are more addicted and lack competing products, it can be transplanted to the past."

Chen Ba explained: "If it's "Star Emperor" and "Extreme Hurricane", don't transplant it, you think there are too many players, right? ”

Time locks can be very frustrating for players.

If it's the kind of game that is fun and addictive, and you can't find a substitute for it, it's okay to do some restrictions to avoid risks.

But if it's the kind of game that has competing products and players are not enthusiastic about playing it, plus this kind of time lock, it's no different from looking for death.

Speaking of this, Chen Ba seemed to have thought of something, so he asked casually: "What is the situation in the GAL League?" How did you take a break for more than a month? ”

"I'm busy arguing!"

"Nvidia Club accused Intel Club and AMD Club of using unfair means to compete during the competition, and applied for GAL League arbitration, and the incident is still under investigation......"

Improper means?

As soon as Chen Ba heard this, he quickly took out his mobile phone and searched for relevant news, and then called the CEO of the GAL Alliance to inquire about the specific situation.

"Little things ......"

Chen Ba said speechlessly: "In the competition of Nvidia in Shancheng Station, it was found that the CPU driver of the competition host was abnormal. Temporarily changed AMD's CPU, but the problem still did not disappear, resulting in the final loss of the game. ”

The race at Yamashiro Station is very important.

Because the championship of this station will directly determine the ownership of the 25-26 championship, after all, the difference between the top and the last few is too big to catch up.

In other words, as long as Nvidia wins the championship in the mountain city, even if they directly abstain from the next two races, they will also be the champion of the year!

The champagne was ready, and the club's celebratory tweets were all edited and ready to be sent, but it went wrong......

Nvidia was not convinced, feeling that it was being targeted by AMD and Intel together.

They couldn't get used to Nvidia defending the championship, so they deliberately stumbled and moved the driver, which led to the defeat of Nvidia Shancheng Station.

"It's a lot of noise!"

The CEO of the GAL League told Chen Ba on the phone that the three clubs are now on the bar, and no one will admit that it is their own fault, and they are arguing.

"Is it really AMD and Intel?" Xiao Lu asked curiously.

"That'...... Who knows! ”

Chen Ba said noncommittally: "You just need to remember that shopping malls are like battlefields, and Nvidia has been in the limelight in the past two years, and there must be people who don't want them to defend their titles." ”

I can't find out anyway.

This kind of technical stumbling block, the other party dares to do it and is not afraid of being discovered, so there is a high probability that the investigation will be inconclusive.

Nvidia can most likely only suffer this dumb loss, and be more vigilant in the follow-up, and take more precautions in the CPU to avoid being plotted.

"The game resumes next week!"

Chen Ba gave a definite date, which was regarded as appeasing Xiao Lu, as well as the majority of GAL league viewers and sponsors.

Quarreling in private, the game must be continued, and a month off is already outrageous, and other teams can't be beaten because of these three quarrels.

Chen Ba decided to mediate.

He basically doesn't care much about the affairs of the GAL league, and entrusts it to the new CEO of the tournament.

But no matter how much he doesn't care about things, the name Chen Ba is the authority, and he has come forward to mediate, and these three graphics card vendors have to give some face.

It's not okay not to give face!

Last time, a second-tier graphics card OEM brand, it was obvious that it was not very sensible, and the new graphics card forgot to supply Ba Ge as soon as it was launched, which led to repeated overturns in the evaluation process.

How to overturn the car?

This card, no matter how you test it, you can pull your crotch as soon as you get on the professional evaluation software "Star Emperor".

Players take a look, alas! Why did your graphics card run so badly in "Star Emperor"? Not even as good as an old graphics card from a year ago? Then I won't buy it!

This is the consequence of contempt for Brother Ba's authority, the new graphics card is cold on the market, and the low-price promotion cannot be sold......

Later, the brand reacted and hurriedly paid the protection fee to Tianba Studio, which returned to normal levels.

"It was a problem with the graphics card driver before, everyone can update the driver!"

After throwing the black pot with unsatisfactory test results to the driver, this graphics card has been favored by gamers again, after all, the price has been reduced, and it is also very easy to use with a new driver, why not buy it?

The remark that Tianba Studio has the right to speak on PC hardware is not a joke.

Graphics card reviews are not to be discussed.

With "Star Emperor" in hand, whose hardware is not good, it is completely a matter of game patch update.

Graphics card sales are the top priority!

After so many years of development, Xianyu Digital has become the No. 1 purchase channel for PC hardware recognized by gamers.

Buy computer hardware and go to Xianyu Digital.

Goudong's self-operated goods are not as stable and reliable as Brother Ba's, after all, everyone knows that Brother Ba's way of getting goods is not the same as other dealers.

Other dealers are begging manufacturers to give goods, and they can't pick up the goods if they don't ask for them, and new products are generally sold out in seconds, and the supply is seriously insufficient.

Except for a very small number of limited editions and special products, there is basically no possibility of "sold out". As long as you place an order, then there are goods for you to send out!

Don't ask where the goods came from, ask is that Brother Ba has great powers......

Speaking of which, there's one more funny thing. That is, not long ago, the high-end graphics cards of the 50 series and 60 series were banned, and the 5090 and 6090 graphics cards could not be bought in China.

That's right, it's banned!

But it is precisely because of the ban on sale that the special feature of Xianyu Digital's "online store" is highlighted.

What is the ban on the sale of Guanxian Digital? You don't care where Brother Ba's goods come from, anyway, you just need to pay, and the graphics card will definitely be able to ship it to you.

With such a hard relationship and background, if players don't come to Xianyu Digital to buy hardware, they have to buy what Goudong is self-operated, it will really be a brain in water.

Trivia!

Xianyu Digital's hardware sales successfully exceeded 100 million yuan as early as a year ago.

Of course, this is sales.

The net profit is definitely not that high, after all, it is simple to break 100 million in sales, but it is difficult to break 100 million in net profit.

However, even if the profit fails to break 100 million, it is also a super online store at the level of 10 million, which can be called an invisible source of revenue for Tianba Studio.

"Speaking of which, the products that Xianyu Digital sells now are really a bit miscellaneous......"

Yang Dong couldn't help but quip: "Not to mention the game consoles of Microsoft and Sony, there are also sweeping robots, electric toothbrushes and smart toilets, which are just eye-opening for me!" ”

"That's what I agree with."

Chen Ba explained: "Xianyu Digital's business is so hot that many manufacturers have taken the initiative to come to the door, hoping to help sell products. ”

People are very sincere, and Xianyu Digital's customers do include users of these digital products and smart home products.

By the way, sell it!

If you can sell it, you will earn an extra penny, and if you can't sell it, nothing will happen, anyway, the core is still the PC hardware, and the rest is an addition.

"Okay, I'll just say it."

Yang Dong smiled, but he didn't continue to talk about this topic, anyway, he knew that Xianyu Digital was an independent subsidiary, and it was not under his control.

He came to Chen Ba, in fact, to ask Brother Ba to fulfill his promise and let him develop a game as a producer.

"Yes!"

Chen Ba has no intention of breaking his word, since he promised Brother Dong, then give him a chance.

But then again.

Although he agreed to Brother Dong's proposal to make a game independently, he was still quite curious about the categories and themes of the games produced by Brother Dong.

"Haha!"

Seeing Chen Ba looking at him with a strange expression, Yang Dong couldn't help but smile and said: "In terms of subject matter, I want to make a simulation game similar to "Simulator under the Fence", but very different. ”

"Big Internet Celebrity Simulator!"

"It's probably like playing an Internet celebrity, gaining more fans through various operations and hype marketing, and using live broadcasts and business orders to earn money."

Big influencer simulators?

When Chen Ba heard this, he couldn't help but complain: "You don't want to be an Internet celebrity, that's why you want to make such a game, right?" ”

"That's not it, it's mainly because I listened to Brother Huang introduce his previous experience in MCN company, and I had an idea by chance."

Yang Dong expressed his considerations.

Through Huang Qing, the former godfather of Internet celebrities, he feels that this seemingly glamorous industry is actually not so good behind it.

It just so happens that the theme of Internet celebrity also caters to the preferences of many young people and can arouse their curiosity, so he wants to make such a game.

"Do you have any ideas?"

"Yes!"

Yang Dong said his idea, that is, in this Internet celebrity simulator game, players can upload their favorite photos or videos.

Other players can like and comment.

In other words, in the game, the interaction between players is used to simulate the most realistic network environment.

"That's not interesting!"

Chen Ba shook his head: "You are not so much a game as a social platform, there are ready-made social platforms not to play, why play this game?" ”

"Don't worry, I'm not done yet......"

Yang Dong rolled his eyes and said, "In the game, each player will sign a company. The company will put forward marketing hype suggestions to each player. ”

"The photos and videos uploaded by players will also be modified by the company to meet the company's packaging needs."

"True and false, false and true!"

According to Yang Dong's explanation, Chen Ba roughly understood.

The core gameplay of this game is actually to simulate the birth process of a big Internet celebrity. It's just that the game is made more immersive, allowing players to upload photos and videos themselves.

The packaging, marketing, and hype are all handled by the in-game contracted agency.

Can it be fired?

I don't know! Anyway, this game will provide you with professional-level MCN packaging marketing services, allowing you to experience how Internet celebrities are born.

"You went to find Brother Qing?"

"Uh-huh!"

Yang Dong nodded and said: "He was the general manager of MCN before, and he must know more about the packaging and marketing methods of these Internet celebrities than I do." ”

"The problem to be solved now is how to simulate the effect of one-click film production in the game."

"This is easy to do!"

Chen Ba explained: "It's all AI era now, what dubbing, editing, as long as you cultivate AI, you can do it for you, mainly in the marketing hype!" ”

This can be learned.

Huang Qing was an industry insider and a general manager before, and he personally cultivated and incubated a number of big Internet celebrities, so he could be a guide.

Then add an AI agent to the game.

The function of this AI agent is mainly to help players optimize the photos and video materials uploaded by the editing, and then combine the marketing hype methods of the company in the game to create Internet celebrities on the assembly line.

"In the game, all the data is controllable. For example, we can fictitious a fake number of fans and video likes and views in the game, and we can also get a batch of water army comments......"

It's a game anyway, and it's very simple for the developers to do that.

So here's the problem.

When players play this game, can they tell the real from the fake? Can it be done without being affected?

"It's an online game!"

Yang Dong introduced: "All players can see each other's accounts, follow other players, become each other's fans, leave messages and even like him. ”

In other words.

In this game, players will experience the most realistic social experience. But the only difference is that the video platform, fans, likes, and comments can all be fake.

The game has AI agents and brokerage companies, and players sign up with different companies and AI brokers, and everyone is disguised.

It's a bit like werewolf killing!

Everyone plays the role of an Internet celebrity who is packaged and marketed, but someone is a real Internet celebrity, and his fans are all real players.

Someone is a fake Internet celebrity, and his fans are all fake fans simulated by the game.

"Raising Gu, right?"

Chen Ba quipped: "Then if I play this game, if I gain 100,000 fans in the game, and all of them are real people, then can I be popular on other platforms?" ”

"No way!"

Yang Dong also smiled: "Because you are on fire, you are packaged and marketed, and if you leave this game, you will be no different from ordinary people." ”

He came up with a concept: AI to draw faces!

Photos and videos uploaded by players, and the appearance of the characters will be redrawn by the AI, and no one will be able to show their true colors in the game.

It's all in disguise, it's all fake!

The only way to play the game is to use the help of AI brokers and the company's marketing hype in this environment to become popular and become the biggest Internet celebrity in the game!

There is a fan leaderboard in the game.

This list only counts "real fans" and all members are anonymous, you can't see other people's rankings, you can only see your own rankings.

"Good, good!"

When Chen Ba heard this, his expression was completely uncontrollable.
