0888 Standing on the Shoulders of Giants
Wu Guiyuan glanced at them with a smile, especially a few old employees, and continued:
"Alright, let's talk about something realistic. The company's decisions are deliberate and based on long-term plans, and I hope that everyone can take a long-term view. ”
"I ask you, what kind of games you've seen that will last for a long time?"
Everyone looked at each other, and finally a young employee spoke first: "Mr. Wu, it's a game that can make money!" Only a game that can bring a steady stream of revenue to the company will not be abandoned and will be able to endure for a long time. ”
Wu Guiyuan shook his head: "This is the effect, not the cause." Why does an enduring game make money? Cheng Xu, let's talk about it. ”
The veteran engineer Xu who was named was slightly stunned, obviously he didn't expect Wu Guiyuan to know him?
But now that he was pointed, he also honestly said his opinion:
"Feelings. When a game becomes the common memory of a generation, it has feelings, and it is no longer just a game, to a certain extent, it is the carrier of a generation's memory. But as this generation ages, so does it. To endure, it has to be a shared memory for generations, it can't just be a game, we call it eSports! ”
"It should be a sport like basketball and football, and only in this way can it maximize its lifespan. For example, "Ragnarok", which is currently the most successful e-sports project, has been in operation for eight years in the world server and five years in the national server, and various events of all sizes still have a high degree of attention. ”
Wu Guiyuan nodded and gave him a round of applause, and everyone applauded, which made him a little embarrassed.
"Lao Cheng said it very well, at present, if the game wants to maximize its life, there is only one way to go, and unless there is a more qualified e-sports product of the same type, it will not be replaced. "Ragnarok" has gone through eight glorious years, it has built a relatively mature e-sports event system, and officially relied on this to create a good e-sports atmosphere, so that many Internet addicted teenagers have their own pride, their own youth, and their own blood. It's a game that's hard to do, but eSports can. At least on the bright side, it's not a flood beast, it's a sport that can be taken out and talked about. ”
Wu Guiyuan said with a smile: "Of course, the current social environment is still biased against it, but at least it's much better than five years ago, isn't it?" As a generation of e-sports people grows up, it is also influencing the society's perception of it, and the former Internet addict teenagers have the right to speak, and the environment of e-sports is also getting better. We're in a great time, Ragnarok has created a great esports atmosphere for us, all we need to do is stand on the shoulders of giants, carry on their legacy, and take esports to the next level! ”
"Good!" Several young people were already enthusiastic and took the lead in applauding excitedly.
Wu Guiyuan smiled and pressed his hand: "Now you understand the company's decision, right?" Why do I need to implement real-name authentication? A qualified and popular sporting event must comply with laws and regulations in itself, and you can't always try to take advantage of loopholes. From gaming to eSports, we still have a long way to go, and there's still a lot of bias to change. While you are taking advantage of loopholes to make money from children, you tell your parents that this is called e-sports, if you are a parent, do you believe it? Maybe we can't change parents' prejudices about e-sports, but at least in the "Puppeteer League", they have nothing to say! Playthings are demoralized? Two hours a day to relax, what's so fun about it? In the future, when our competition system is done, these small differences in parents' attitudes will be infinitely magnified. ”
"Guys, if you make League of Puppeteers a truly popular esports sport, it will be able to survive from generation to generation. Only in our Tomahawk games can we gain a firm foothold in the game industry! I hope you can understand the company's decision-making. In the end, it is still the same sentence, as long as you stick to your original intention in making games, there will definitely be rewards! If society doesn't give you something back, if reality doesn't give you something back, the Tomahawk group gives it to you! ”
After Wu Guiyuan finished speaking, there was thunderous applause in the office.
Even some of the veteran employees were somewhat convinced.
At least, I still admire their courage to try at any cost.
……
……
The reward of the tomahawk game has finally come.
A week after the official launch of the "Puppeteer Alliance", even though players complained and even protested because of the strict real-name authentication, it still became a hit with 10 million registered players.
And because of the partnership between Tomahawk Group and Station 233, and even having a stake in Station 233, it will be more inclined to "Puppet Master Alliance" in terms of video recommendations.
As a result, more and more game videos have appeared on the list, and more and more streamers have begun to broadcast "Puppeteer Alliance" live, showing the audience how fun this game is, and how cool it is to fight side by side with teammates in the canyon or happy game frenzy!
A popular game is like that, when more and more people around you start playing, it's no longer just a game, it's a social one. If you don't play, you won't be able to blend into other people's circles, and you won't be able to get all kinds of jokes about games that people talk about.
What's more, many of those who protested online were minors, all students, who wanted to play the game themselves, but naively thought that they would relax the restrictions if they protested against the Tomahawk game. As a result, Tomahawk games birds are not birds of them. What to do? You can't really stop playing games, right?
Especially for some people who play "Ragnarok", after watching the game videos and live broadcasts of "Puppet Master Alliance", and even borrowing the big brother's account to experience a few handfuls, they really can't go back.
It's torture to let them go back and stay up for more than an hour to play Ragnarok! All-round torture from the psyche to the bladder!
Isn't it cool to fight? Do you have to run around with minions?
Therefore, more and more people can't help but register an account. Isn't it real-name authentication? Two hours a day is two hours, better than nothing, right?
And the children's circle is the best division, if you don't play this game, how can we match together and play together? You can't really talk about learning when you meet, right?
The player data of "Puppet Master Alliance" has finally risen.
Those who should come back are all back, and there is no need to fight for the rest.
