Game Development Giant

"Hello everyone, I am ABC reporter Sean Jerome. I am currently at the CES exhibition. Not far behind me is the booth of Mars Entertainment, which was in the limelight the day before and was also involved in infringement scandals. ." A middle-aged reporter in his forties, wearing a pair of black glasses, was talking to the camera. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed. He was surrounded by countless people and could not see the specific details at all. The situation at the Mars Entertainment booth.

Because of the venue, it is impossible for Jester to prepare hundreds of machines at this CES show like he did in the previous trial meetings he held. There are only more than 30 machines in the trial area here, which is still outstanding. Ste tried his best to squeeze out space to save space.

Jester knows that for players, only if your game makes them like it will they buy your game.

Although there are only more than 30 dreamboxes equipped with 19-inch color TVs, it still cannot stop the enthusiasm of the players. Since the exhibition just started to allow visitors to enter, the place has been surrounded by enthusiastic players, and in addition to being originally Mars In addition to loyal fans of entertainment, there are also many people who came to take a look out of curiosity after reading this morning's report. Looking at the people who were shouting and playing around the new console of Mars Entertainment, Jerome seemed to see his own son. After he waited patiently for a while, a man who had just Game over. The young man whose trial time was over also left his seat with some reluctance and dejection. The people behind him who had been queuing for a long time could not wait to grab the handle and start playing. of trial play.

"Hi, sir. Please wait a moment. Can I ask you a few questions?" I saw this young man preparing to go to the Mars Entertainment Arcade trial area. Jerome hurriedly took a few steps forward to stop the other party, and then asked with a gentle smile.

The young man first looked at Jerome who was holding a microphone, and then saw the camera following him. He seemed to have seen the camera or the ABC logo on Jerome's ID. After hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded and agreed. Hearing Jerome's somewhat questioning question, the young man seemed to be extremely dissatisfied. He frowned his eyebrows vigorously, and then said in a heavy tone: "Mr. Reporter. I think Jester Lee. What he said at the press conference was right. To judge the quality of a game, you only need to play it yourself. If you want to know how good "Balotelli's Adventures in Another World" is For a game, I think it’s better for you to try it yourself instead of interviewing me here, which is just a waste of effort.”

After the young man finished speaking, he snorted disdainfully, then ignored the ABC TV reporter who was a little embarrassed by what he just said, and went straight to the arcade that had been surrounded for a long time. Walking quickly to the play area, he had long heard that there was a complete version of "Avengers" in this trial. This is the game he is most looking forward to.

Looking at the background of the young man leaving, Jerome could only smile bitterly. Now he can only interview other people.

There were so many people who simply came to try it out that it took only a few minutes. Jerome stopped another player. This time Jerome watched the leaving player play for a long time from outside the crowd. The game he just played was different from the young man who had scolded him earlier. People play different games. Although he doesn't know much about video games, he can still clearly distinguish the images of a bouncing little man and a plane firing bullets.

The interviewed player obviously had a much better temper. After hearing Jerome's question, he first opened his eyes wide, then looked at Jerome as if he were an alien, and finally said an extremely incredible expression. said in a tone of voice.

"Yes, sir, Salamander is the best game I've ever played in my life. I just came back from Japan. I played a game called 1942 before, and I thought it was the best game in the world." Yes, but now I know that it was a big mistake. "1942" is not worthy of holding the shoes of "Saraman Snake". It is indeed a game made by Mr. Jester Lee himself! What? How do you know this? Is it made by Mr. Jester Lee? Don’t you know anything about video games? Besides Mr. Jester Lee, do you think anyone else can make such a great game?”

After that, Jerome interviewed several players who tried different games. Without exception, they all praised the games they played, and basically more than 90% of them said that as long as the price of Dreambox is not too high, It’s expensive, and they will definitely buy one. A couple in their thirties even said that after playing the cartoon-style game “Balotelli’s Adventures in Another World”, his son’s birthday gift this year was guaranteed. .

To be honest, the result of this interview was also very surprising to Jerome. He did not expect that Mars Entertainment's games would be so popular, and even made him, a person who had never had the slightest interest in video games, feel a sense of desperation. However, his interview task is not over yet. Next, he has another most important interview task - an exclusive interview with Jester.

Jester is a celebrity, and Mars Entertainment is not a company without a reputation. They made headlines in many media when their turnover exceeded 500 million US dollars. However, Mars Entertainment has always presented a positive image before. This This is the first time that someone has been accused of such serious negative news.

Moreover, in many media and newspapers, debates with different tones have even begun on this issue.

The first to do this was "Newsweek". The beautiful reporter named Elizabeth Winnie, who questioned Jester at the Q\u0026A session, wrote an article in which she supported Jester's decision not to use a simulator at the presentation. The article that was considered an infringement was successfully published, and immediately people from all sides dismissed her statement. Some people even directly said in the article that Jester and Miss Elizabeth were both legally illiterate.

Infringement is infringement, regardless of right or wrong or reason.

But for ordinary people, especially those who like video games, they are very supportive of Jester's demonstration, because he can prevent players like them from being deceived.

Some angry players even directly stated that they would never buy a console from the scam company Nintendo.

"Mr. Li, do you still think what you did before is not an infringement?" Sean Jerome asked after meeting Jester for the first time and after being shocked by Jester's youth. A question that is not easy to answer.

Jester smiled. He did not answer directly. He reached out and touched his chin, as if he was thinking.

In fact, the relationship between abc and Jester is pretty good. Jester also thought that things are getting more and more heated now. If he still avoids all media as before, it will definitely make people feel guilty, so After much thought, he decided to accept an exclusive interview, and then he gave the opportunity of this exclusive interview to his old relationship client ABC.

And Sean Jerome also received the above hint. As for whether Jester infringed the copyright or not, it is not the key to these media. The key is that this topic is heating up now - in the past, it was always American companies that sued Japan. Corporate infringement, and this is the first time that a Japanese company has filed an infringement lawsuit against an American company in the United States. This is eye-catching enough.

His mission is to continue to heat up this topic.

Jester agreed to be interviewed and also had this idea. The current video game market is not very hot. Although through his own efforts, it has become much better than the depression when he first came here. He asked Carly to do a job before. According to the survey, the vast majority of people who have played their own company's games before said that they would not mind buying one if their home console games were interesting.

But this can only represent a simple intention. In the eyes of the current mainstream media, although video games are showing signs of recovery, there is still a long way to go before they can return to Atari's heyday. .

Jester knows that relying solely on arcade gamers to boost home console sales is a drop in the bucket. What he wants to do now is to take advantage of the fact that Nintendo is suing him over emulators to create more games. Topic, let as many people as possible pay attention to this matter, especially those who have been hurt by Atari and vowed never to play video games again - now it is different from the past, and fun games are back , we are completely different from Atari.

Faced with Sean Jerome's question, Jester just thought about it briefly, and then he said categorically without any hesitation: "If telling the truth can be considered an infringement, then just say that I infringed. I don't Understand one thing, my employees made a simulator, but we did not use it to make profits. I just demonstrated the functions of FC to others out of righteous indignation at the beginning, so that the players knew what they were doing. This was originally for everyone. How can something that everyone is satisfied with become an infringement?”

Hearing Jester's shameless statement, Sean Jerome, a veteran reporter who has been working for decades, couldn't help but frowned. He secretly thought in his heart, relying on this young man to confuse right and wrong. The way he talks, it would be a pity not to be a politician.
