Chapter 186 Suicide
The Flamingo-1 game console and the games on this platform are so popular that major game companies around the world basically purchased a batch from RB and took them back for research, and they were all shocked!
"The performance of Flamingo-1 is much stronger than that of Atari 2600. It runs faster, the game is smoother, and the color of the picture is better. What's more, the eleven games released by Flamingo this time are really amazing. It's so fun, especially "Super Mario", this game can be regarded as a model of video games, which establishes production concepts such as characters, game purpose, process distribution, operability, hidden elements, bosses, and miscellaneous soldiers!!!"

"Yeah, let us know how to develop games in the future!"

"When the market is flooded with junk games, it's incredible that Flamingo has so many refreshing games. How many of them are pioneers!"

"The one who is really awesome is Chronos Li, who designed these games alone! As far as I know, during the year when Chronos Li was in a coma, he was actually conscious, and he designed the games in his mind. So many games!"

"This is a game empire supported by one person!!!"

"That's right, it used to be Sunbird, and now it's Flamingo. It's so dramatic that Flamingo can replace Sunbird just before Christmas!"

"Hehe, what's ridiculous is that Sunbird Company has issued a banning order. Who will abide by its banning order now? But anyone with a bit of a brain knows that Flamingo Company will replace Sunbird Company's game dominance. Those of us It's time for third-party game developers to express their attitude, and the sooner the better!"

"Yes!"

"..."

Therefore, on the second day after the release of the Flamingo-1 game console, hundreds of third-party game developers around the world publicly announced their willingness to develop games for the Flamingo-1 game console.

Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Smith fainted on the spot when he heard the news...

At this time, the board of directors of Warner Bros. held a meeting and officially removed Kevin Smith as CEO.

Then an executive director named Gavin Howard was appointed CEO of the company.

After Gavin Howard came to power, he announced two things. First, to develop a new game machine, the performance of the machine must exceed Flamingo-1; second, to speed up the development of the game and release it before Christmas. Be the first to snipe the Flamingo-1 game console.

Gavin Howard was an executive in the film department before and didn't understand games.

If you want to make a classic and fun game, you must spend a lot of time, usually the game development cycle is more than a year.Now, he asked Sunbird to release several new games before the Christmas promotion. One can imagine how rubbish these games are.

However, Gavin Howard apparently did not realize this.He believes that Sunbird Company has released new games, and players will have new games to play after buying them. Naturally, they will not spend money to buy other game consoles and game cassettes in a short period of time, thus completing the acquisition of Flamingo Company. check.This way of thinking is indeed normal, but the problem is that Sunbird Company has produced too many garbage games. After players buy them, they will definitely complain, which will cause Sunbird Company’s reputation to be discredited and cause a credit crisis. They want to regain their credit in the future , it will not be easy, and the company will even go downhill because of this...

Woodruff, chairman of Coca-Cola, once said: "If my factory is destroyed by fire, if there is a world financial turmoil, as long as there is a Coca-Cola brand, I will stand up again the next day."

Brand is very important to a company. It is an intangible asset and has extremely strong competitiveness!
……

The Flamingo-1 game console and the games on this platform are very popular in RB. Within a week, the Flamingo-1 sold more than 400 million, and the Ant Factory was so anxious that it worked overtime every day until late at night.So far, 1 people have entered the ant factory to work. The monthly salary is 70 yuan, and the overtime work is 140 yuan, which is much higher than working in other companies.Nowadays, people are desperate to enter the factory.Even newspapers across the mainland have reported on the deeds of Ant Factory, leading to more and more workers going to Shenzhen.The more workers there are, the faster Shenzhen develops.

The Flamingo game is so popular in RB, the news has naturally spread in the United States.

American newspapers or game magazines introduce the fun games of Flamingo Company almost every day:
"RB's best-selling game is "Super Mario". Almost every player who buys the Flamingo-1 game console will definitely buy "Super Mario"! This is a game tailored for the Flamingo-1 game console. The game created can be called the originator of the horizontal version of the game, and it is extremely classic!"

"The game Contra is simply a man's favorite. The name of the game means "a person with excellent fighting ability and quality", and it is a title given to the strongest fighter. This game belongs to the scroll shooting stand-alone game , the story background of this game is adapted from the famous horror film "Alien", which is as famous as "Super Mario", and almost every player has bought this game!"

""Tank Battle" is amazing. This is a plane shooting game. The game is based on tank battles and defending bases. It belongs to the strategic online category. It is also a rare built-in level editor on the Flamingo-1 game console platform. Players can create their own unique levels, and get some props to strengthen the tanks and bases, the classic index of the game is five stars!"

"..."

The more detailed the newspapers and magazines were, the more itchy American video game players became.

Why is it so much fun?
Why is it so fun! ! !
They can't wait to play these games now, but it's a pity that Flamingo has not released the games in the United States.

Hundreds of players pulled up huge banners and marched in front of the Flamingo Company.

"Strongly urge Flamingo to release the game in the US!"

The reporters not far away were amazed, saying that this was the first time they had seen someone parade and demonstrate in front of the game company in order to play games, and the lineup was so strong!
Flamingo Corporation headquarters.

Nolan Bushnell and others were in pain and happiness. The people outside were so crazy that they were blocked as soon as they went out. What's more, they actually sent blades and threatened the company to release the game!

"Mr. Bushnell, how do you think about this matter?" asked a company executive.

Nolan Bushnell shook his head and said, "As originally planned, it will be released nationwide during the Black Friday Christmas sale!"

Black Friday falls on the day after Thanksgiving, the fourth Friday in November, with 20 more days to go.

"..."

Since the Flamingo Company has never released the game, people can only entrust someone to purchase it from RB.

Some merchants took the opportunity to make a fortune, buying goods from RB and bringing them to the United States to sell at several times the price.

Gavin Howard, the new CEO of Warner Bros., saw that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to Sunbird, so he stayed in the game development department every day, urging them to speed up the game development.As a result, in less than two weeks, all 20 games were developed.

So Sunbird released 20 new games in the week before Black Friday.

When American video game users heard that Sunbird Company had released a new game, they couldn't help but check it out. The cover of the game cassette was pretty good, which deceived many players.However, when the users started playing the game, they all cursed!

The game screen is rough, the plot is rubbish, there is no playability, and there are many BUGs, it is so depressing that I want to vomit blood!

"Fuck the Atari 2600 and Sunbird, these are some 'several' games, I will never buy their games again!!!"

Countless people were outraged, some ran to return the products, and more people directly smashed or threw the Atari 2600 and the game cassette!

For a time, Atari 2600 and Sunbird game cartridges could be seen everywhere in the garbage dumps of the United States.

The flagship stores of Sunbird Company all over the United States suddenly became very deserted.

Gavin Howard realized the seriousness of the problem at this time, and things had almost reached the point of no return.

"Mr. Howard, Sunbird's games have seriously hurt the hearts of players and users. In order to save them as much as possible, our only way now is to recycle these garbage games at the original price!" Wu Guangguang suggested.

"Well, just do as you said!" Gavin Howard said weakly.

It's a pity that players are very disappointed with Sunbird Company and Atari Company. In addition, the game of Flamingo Company will be released soon. Most of the players have abandoned Sunbird and are going to choose Flamingo!
At this time, the media have bad-mouthed Sunbird Company.

"Popular Electronics": "In order to stop the flamingos, Sunbird Company shortened the game development cycle, resulting in all newly developed games being garbage games. Now gamers and users can no longer tolerate such garbage games, Sunbird Company undoubtedly It's suicidal!"

"Los Angeles Daily": "Game players collectively raged and smashed Atari 2600!"

"Video Game": "Sunbird Corporation has fallen from the altar!!"

"Hollywood Journal": "Once Flamingo came out, other consoles really became trash or scrap!"

"..."

Li Zetian was speechless at this moment, "The Flamingo Company hasn't exerted its strength yet, so why are you failing?"

Holding a glass of red wine, he walked to the balcony, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, feeling as lonely as snow!
