I am a rich second generation

But old players are always lost.

This is an unavoidable problem for any online game.

Even the most avid gamer, determined to play online games for the rest of his life, if he can't make a living from online games, he will always compromise with reality with the passage of time.And this kind of compromise is often in the time period of starting a family.

Most online gamers and new players are male players, and after men start a family and start a business, if they continue to play games, they are easily regarded as playthings and lose their minds—men will inevitably become social animals, working overtime and paying off mortgages and car loans. Raising children, when everything is done, I suddenly look back, but I am already over half a century old, with gray hair.

This is just like "the setting sun is infinitely good, but it is only near dusk". Those who have good pension conditions can still have a rich and colorful retirement life, but those who have insufficient pension conditions must continue to work.After raising children, you have to take care of your grandchildren... If you look at it this way, life is really meaningless.

Any online game always enters the twilight period when new players are constantly pouring in, and enters the twilight years when old players stick to it. No matter how powerful an online game is, it cannot be avoided. It's true for Legend, it's true for World of Warcraft, it's true for Dungeon & Fighter, it's true for League of Legends.In the words of Blizzard, the great god of the industry, it is [Royal power has no eternity].

[Tianshiwang]'s several online games are not up to the classic level, old players will lose one forever, and with the loss of old players, game companies have to increase their efforts to steal money.Just like Sohu Changyou's "Dragon and Babu", in order to cheat money, a martial arts game constantly added various systems to trick players into spending money to build it. In the end, the game data was completely deformed to the point of collapse: the damage of the game character's skills was not as good as that of a flat cut.

[Tianshiwang] also fell into the same predicament as Sohu Changyou, a vicious circle, the more old players lose money, the faster they lose, and the more old players lose, the more money they lose.In this way, [Tianshiwang] is operating in a bleak manner, barely getting by, and when its "Journey to the West" and "Fantasy Cultivation of Immortals" are coming to an end, it is very likely that [Tianshiwang] is going to die.

Every terminally ill patient knows that he will die, but he will try his best to find a way out, praying to God and worshiping Buddha.In the same way, game companies are not willing to die just like that. [Tianshiwang] has also tried hard. However, the online game market today is very different from the previous years. Hundreds of online games can be released every year, and the games of Penguin Empire are almost a monopoly. The market is divided, followed by NetEase, Perfect and other big companies to carve up the market.There are only so many players, [Tianshiwang] If you can't come up with revolutionary technology, it will be difficult to even share the leftovers.

Compared with [Tianshiwang], the life of [Skynet] is even more miserable.

The era is developing too fast, from the era of stand-alone games such as "Red Alert", "Diablo II", and "cs", to the era of terminal games such as "Legend" and "World of Warcraft", and then entered the era of In the era of web games and mobile games, the stand-alone game industry has become more and more depressed.

However, due to the rampant piracy of Huaxia's stand-alone games, most of them have found ways to invest in the embrace of online games, and the remaining stand-alone game companies have basically died 90%.Huaxia's stand-alone game technology has been difficult to innovate due to insufficient funds, and it is no longer the same level as foreign 3A masterpieces.

Even if there are players who love stand-alone games, why don’t they play foreign 3A masterpieces? Even Daewoo Corporation, the former overlord of Chinese stand-alone games, with such big IPs as "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "Xuanyuan Sword", can only Live by selling feelings.It's been 8012, and the game I made is still inferior 3D modeling, rubbish engine, scum-like optimization can make the Titan fall, and the combat system is also a turn-based system that has not changed for thousands of years.This has made people no longer even have the strength to complain.

Even the plot of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", which has always been regarded as a classic, has been falling into the cliché, always being the dead heroine.Back then in "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1", the deaths of Lin Yueru and Zhao Ling'er earned enough tears for Sifa Zhai.Later, Tang Xuejian and Solanum nigrum in "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" were classic enough. The death of Han Lingsha in "Legend of Sword and Fairy 4" is also embarrassing.But the heroines in the back are dying, and there are too many dead, so the player can only sneer with a sneer: "Good death!"

Of course, there are also some creative stand-alone games made in China that have achieved good results, but on the whole, they are not at the same level as foreign 3A masterpieces, and it is difficult to compete.

And what is [Sky Net] doing now? They put all their resources into the development of "Xia Ying 3", which can be described as desperate.Even now [Sky Net]'s capital chain is stretched, and it has to rely on selling the film and television drama copyrights of "Xia Ying 1" and "Xia Ying 2" to continue its life, and usually receives orders from some game companies for art and music. drag on.

But this kind of surviving has reached its limit, [Skynet] has lost a large number of employees, and the ones who can stay now are really a group of core employees who rely on their feelings to maintain.It is said that in order to distribute the year-end bonus last year, Li Tao, the CEO of [Skynet], sold his Mercedes-Benz, and only then did he get enough year-end bonus, so that his younger brother had a good year.

In short, whether it is [Tianshiwang] or [Skynet], it is difficult to satisfy the parent company Gemini Group. These two companies have been defined as non-performing assets by Gemini Group. Waiting for a suitable time to directly cancel Lose.

Actually, [Skynet] should have been abolished and declared bankrupt this spring, but due to the drastic changes in Gemini Group, the position of the chairman is still pending, and the high-level struggle is fierce, so there is no time to take care of this kind of bad assets.It wasn't until He Qian received Yang Xiaotian back to take over the order according to the old man Yang Jun's will that the situation of the Gemini Group was considered stable, but it was also caught in the fierce struggle between Yang Xiaotian and the Wu family. The operation of the company depended entirely on He Qian's operation And the self-operation of its own system.

"I am a person who loves to play games, and a game company is suitable for me." Yang Xiaotian said confidently, "I will transform a game company with such bad assets into a great game company comparable to Blizzard and Riot."

Jing Rulong also didn't want to argue with Yang Xiaotian, and said, "Since you have chosen the general direction, then I have a limited right to choose the small direction. I think I can give priority to choosing one of these two game companies. What do you think?"

"Then you choose!" Yang Xiaotian said lightly, "Anyway, the performance is not good!"

"I choose 【天世网】." Jing Rulong said, "Any comments?"

"No." Yang Xiaotian said, "If that's the case, then leave [Sky Net] to me."
