Catherine looked at the two letters in front of her with interest.

Both letters were written by the same person, Bill Gates.[]

But of these two letters, one is to Microsoft and the other is to Blizzard.

“It seems that some people really don’t like this anti-sinking MI system.”

Catherine shook her head.

What Gates did was really cruel. It was actually inside the envelope, with the return address already written on it and the stamp affixed.

This is really a foolproof letter-sending strategy. Of course, this alone is not enough to make Catherine interested in Gates' plan.

In his letter to Microsoft, Gates said this: "Being addicted to online games is just like people being addicted to sports such as football, basketball, and tennis. There is no difference. If you start from

Strictly speaking, if there is any difference at all, it is just the difference between mental activity and physical activity."

"It is far from enough and unrealistic to try to cure children's addiction to online games by just relying on an anti-sinking MI system or a real-name system. Technology is only an auxiliary means, but it is a necessary means. It has a direct impact on players.

factors.”

"In the final analysis, video game entertainment is just a leisure sport similar to football or basketball. If video games are such a scourge, why should we develop video games?"

"If people become addicted to online games and forget about the problem of online games themselves, it is because the original lives of these people cannot bring them a sufficiently fulfilling life, so they become addicted to the virtual world of the Internet. This is

It is a problem of personal and living environment, not a problem of the Internet itself."

Catherine still agreed with this statement, but she had seen a lot of "scourges" in her previous life, so Catherine subconsciously took this matter seriously.

"I heard that he also established an "anti-Microsoft alliance... just to cancel this anti-sinking MI system."

Elsa next to her added.

However, Elsa still looked at Catherine with resentful eyes. Since the last time she went to the amusement park, Catherine had become very interested and had been lingering for the past few days. As a result, Elsa's energy was almost exhausted.

All.

"ka

Al Gates...Anti-Microsoft Alliance?"

Catherine was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the name on the envelope with disbelief.

(Yes, it’s Bill Gates...)

Isn't this too strange?

"Don't worry, this alliance was actually only established to get rid of the anti-sinking MI system and Green Dam. They are all kids."

Elsa obviously misunderstood what Catherine meant.

"Uh...oh, I know."

Catherine simply made the mistake.

After all, no one would believe what I know now.

Another thing that attracted Catherine was the information Gates raised about the charges for Internet games. This was what interested Catherine.

First, Gates has actually stated his views on online games in his letter.

"The Internet can rely on advertising fees to make profits, but this is not the case for a game. Online games have been operating now, but they are unable to make ends meet. In the long run, the existence of online games will inevitably cause huge consequences.

problem."

The letter to Blizzard was said, and in this letter, there was a faint concern. It seemed that when Gates was writing the letter, he was really worried about the future of online games.

Of course, the drunkard's implication is not wine, Catherine also knows this.

Sure enough, just after, Gates said his thoughts.

"I divide the current online games into two categories, one is a casual online game, a card game like Texas Hold'em, followed by large online games, games such as" Magic World "."

Gates told the matter clearly.

"The former has a relatively complete charging mode. Each time the player wins, you can get a certain amount of points, and after failure, you will lose your points. When the points are negative, people can buy props to clear their scores to clear the scores to clear the scores.

, Re -accumulating your own scores. "

"The latter, so far, there is still no more complete system. On this, online games cannot form an industrial chain, so it is not feasible. But we can use the method of time charging to solve this problem ..."

From these words, Catherine can see that Gates said that it was obtained by rigorous analysis. It was hard to treat Gates as a 16 -year -old child.

"Similarly, for children, the payment method is also a mode that can limit the game time. This mode is even easy to surpass the current anti -sinking MI system ..."

Why is the topic back to the anti -sinking MI?

"You just want to treat the anti -sinking MI as your own theme ..."

Catherine talked.

"He seems to be mainly to say this."

Elsa also read it.

"Or he should want Blizzard Company to follow him like this."

Catherine said the truth: "If I didn't guess it was wrong, he should be ready to go with Blizzard.

If there is no anti -Microsoft alliance, Catherine may speculate that there are still some problems, but now, Catherine speculates that it is likely that the reality is that Gates is working hard for this league ...

"But the plan he said is also good ..."

At present, the line of "Magic World" in the cloud system has easily exceeded 10,000 people. If you want to make money, it is also necessary to make a charging model.

Speaking of it, Internet games that truly begin commercialized paid operations, when there was no Catherine, it was something in the early 1980s.

In 1982, John Taylor and Curdon Flynn formed Casem, which left a lot of memorable works in the history of online games.

At the time, John Taylor saw a advertisement called "Space Warrior, a space warrior,"

"If you can write such a game, you can get a version of $ 30,000 per month". He sent a manual of "The Island of Casem" developed with Calton Flynn

Billon, who was in charge of the game business at the time, was very interested in this.

The operating platform of "The Island of Casem" is the UNIX system, and Compusenue uses DEC-

20 computers, so Casem E Company re-developed a DEC-20 version for Compusenue. This game has been operating for about B Years.

The first business version was launched on Compucum.

However, in the era of Catherine, the company that should have been established in 1969

At this time, the company was gone at all, and the concept of online games like MUD was even outdated.

In this era, only Catherine's cloud system is the strongest. At the same time, only Catherine has a popular Internet game ...

For game charges, the most important thing to marry is how much money people are willing to use huā how much money is used on playing games?

The world's first monthly online game is "Anadath" in the world without Catherine.

This game was led by a person named MacAakbes. He formed AUSI

The company, and developed this game. And AUSI, that is, "The Dark Age of King Arthur"

V

The game is not PVP, nor PVE, but the predecessor of the Kingdom's developer Mythic Entertainment.

In 1984 without Catherine, Jacques set up a server platform in his own house, installed 8 telephone lines to run this text -to -corner to play games. The charging standard for the game was $ 40 per month.

In 1990, AUSI's price set for "Dnagon'O-Gate" was $ 20 per hour. Although the charges were amazing, they were still willing to play this game for more than 2,000 US dollars per month, so

In the late 1990s and early 1990s, the monthly system did not attract people's attention.

Imagine, if anyone can make $ 20,000, how can he only earn 1,000 US dollars?

What's more, the gap is even as high as more than 50 times.

But Catherine did not just limit her eyes to a game. What she had to do should be the number of people who played games.

Although local tyrants exist, but if there are only a few local tyrants who are playing games, others are playing soy sauce. What does it mean?

Catherine first creates a stable environment in order to attract people to play. It is not possible to rely on gimmicks.

At the earliest, the cheapest monthly game should be in November 1985-QUANTUM-

Computen-Senuiceo (AOLA's predecessor) launched the Quantumlink platform, which is a commonly commandone64

The graphic network platform served by the 128 game machine player, the monthly price is $ 9.95 per month. This charging standard can completely become an important milestone in the history of online game development, but due to the Commandone64 at the time

The 128 game console has entered the recession period, so this charging standard that has the meaning of fatefulness is like Jacques' "family workshop", which failed to attract people's attention. Otherwise

Come in advance.

Catherine, on the other hand, has her own advantages.

〖Free〗 is a large-scale industry, and its peers have sufficient reputation and influence.

If Catherine is the one to do it, it is not impossible for a new online game revolution to break out. At this time, online games should also become profitable games...

Tears run, the title of the last chapter is a typo...

It feels so uncomfortable to have one missing finger. I hope it will be better in a few days!
