game dynasty

Chapter 265 is coming so soon?

There is a slight error in the last chapter, but it should not be a big deal. 【】Everyone only needs to know that WoW has five supercomputers with 3 trillion operations as servers.

There is no doubt that 2004 was a bumper year. This bumper harvest continued from 2004 to 2005. It kept the entire tour in an extremely exciting state.

At the same time, this is also a bumper harvest and victory for You Headquarters. Since 2003, for more than a year, the turnover of Game Business Department of You Headquarters has been exceeded by the website division. Integrating 2 and instant messaging and

flv, a large-scale online entertainment and consumer community developed based on Tencent, only existed in 200

In 4 years, its valuation from Morgan Stanley has increased sixfold. In the past year and a half, You's market value has not changed much. It was not until 2004 that You's market value reached one again.

The peak value of the entire game, on the occasion of the New Year in 2005, the market value has exceeded 5 million US dollars.

There is no doubt that the huge sales of the console, coupled with the popularity of two popular games, coupled with the strategic cooperation with Glass Slag and the revealed development of a full simulation system, have made the game the undisputed No. 1 in the industry, and it has surpassed other games.

His colleagues were far behind.

Time flies by.

At the end of 2005, a discussion about whether teenagers were suitable for playing games was once again raised by some youth experts. What is ridiculous is that the "youth experts" who raised these questions were basically adults over 50 years old. This debate

Swimming has once again been brought to the forefront. And the result of the debate is...the gaming anti-addiction system that Liu Xiang has lamented and despised for several years has been officially launched with the joint action of eight major ministries and commissions.

What's even more comical is that the person responsible for developing this system is You International.

In 2005, in addition to the introduction of an anti-addiction system at the end of the year, the biggest earthquake in the Chinese gaming industry was an acquisition case.

On September 15, 2005, You International acquired Tianluo in full for RMB 2 billion!

This is a "huge" acquisition in the entire national gaming industry, even the entire China Internet and all enterprises. The chairman of Tianluo released all his shares in a very graceful manner. On the day of the press conference

, the two equally young chairman raised their glasses with smiles and announced the news of an earthquake that was suspected to be over 80 magnitude in the industry.

At this point, Travel International has completely monopolized the Chinese travel market.

At the same time, game development for FG consoles has also entered a fruitful stage. For console games whose development period can easily last more than ten months and whose development funds can easily amount to tens of millions of dollars, the risks that game developers have to bear far exceed those provided by the console.

In the past year, the various policies adopted by You International to ensure sales have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The hot sales of consoles have also made those hesitant console game developers finally choose to cooperate with You. This includes Sega

Such a large Japanese software developer.

The only regret, or headache, is the common problem of piracy.

As we all know, domestic piracy has reached its peak. Especially since the Internet entered a period of rapid development and popularization, domestic piracy has become more and more prosperous, becoming the largest software piracy base in the world.

In the consciousness of people in China, since I have already bought your machine, whether it is a computer or a game console, there is no need to spend money on the software used on this machine. Just like a TV, should I buy it?

If you already spend money on TV, do you still need to spend money on a program?

Therefore, although the sales of consoles are also available in the domestic market and the market is not small, the software... makes most developers and even game developers feel a bit chilled.

Although the Chinese people were taken care of from the beginning, and each game was released in a version that went against international practice, a console game costing hundreds or even thousands of yuan still made the game stand on the forefront of being reviled by the masses.

In the conference room, Executive President Zhang Jiajia is holding a regular quarterly high-level meeting, and Liu Xiang is attending the meeting as chairman.

"Does the operations department have any way to solve the increasingly rampant piracy problem?" Zhang Jiajia raised her eyebrows and dexterously turned the ball pen in a circle.

"I wonder if piracy can be suppressed by selling at reduced prices?"

The person who said this was Cui Bo, another guy who flew after Yu Keke. When Yuan Ye and Yu Keke were away, Cui Bo became the core of the tour operation department.

"As of last month, FG's domestic sales have reached two million units, and this number is still rising slowly. This already accounts for 10% of global sales."

"But the sales volume of the game only reached 10% of the global sales, right?" Zhang Jiajia smiled and frowned slightly.

In other words, only one out of every ten consoles sold in China will buy genuine games! After playing all the bonus games, the vast majority of players choose to swipe chips to buy pirated versions.

"Yes." Cui Bo blushed for a moment, but quickly returned to normal. After all, this was not the fault of the operations department. It was a problem faced by the entire domestic software industry.

"Is there any proposal? How appropriate is the positioning?"

"According to our analysis, the price of genuine products generally accepted by domestic players is between 50 and 150..."

When he said this, Cui Bo's face really turned a little red.

As we all know... selling game consoles is inherently a money-losing job. Although the research and development costs of w are not enough for those who have already produced prototypes,

It is not high compared to s3, and the manufacturing cost is not high either. But...it would cost several thousand RMB to build.

All the profits of the console come from selling genuine games. Fortunately, FG’s game development costs are not too high. Compared to Xbox, where each game costs tens of millions of dollars, FG platform games are really too cheap.

.

And even so, between 50 and 150rmb... this number is a bit too funny. Maybe in the future, the Chinese proficiency of European, American, Japanese and Korean players will be popularized through FG.

"Cough, cough... let me say a few words."

Liu Xiang, who had been dozing for a long time, finally spoke up. After clearing his throat, he grabbed the water glass and took a sip of mineral water.

"Through the practice of countless ancestors, it has been proved that it is impossible to eliminate piracy in the country, or in the world. Therefore, we don't need to waste time and effort on this."

"If you want to modify or flash your phone, let them do it. Anyway, the latest anti-flashing optical drive will be out soon. At that time, we will adjust the sales prices of some games appropriately." Liu Xiang touched his forehead and said with a wry smile.

Yes, piracy... this is an extremely serious problem. However, the pricing of genuine products is an extremely serious problem!

In many countries with the purchasing power, a game worth hundreds of dollars is only a day or a few days' salary for a player. But in China, this is a few days or even a month's salary for a working class.

If we want to take care of domestic players, then there will definitely be European and American pirates doing what domestic pirates are currently doing. Compared to domestic players, losing the enemies of European and American countries is even more depressing.

Liu Xiang walked out of the conference room a little depressed and walked into the laboratory.

Since Liu Xiang handed over the data delivered by the Institute of Inverse Science to the laboratory half a year ago, the simple calculation of exponentiation mentioned by Xi Xiaoding has continued until now...

Since the full simulation equipment is led by the Academy of Sciences and has full authority to conduct research and development, you are only responsible for funding the research and enjoying the success. This results in you having no reason or opportunity to access the technology and secrets of the research and development before the results are released.

However, this does not mean that You have given up on the desire to master this cutting-edge technology. On the contrary, with the Academy of Sciences Research Office deliberately hiding and deploying experts on You algorithm, You also set up a laboratory of his own to study the world.

Simulate equipment for theoretical demonstration and data demonstration.

Almost every time the research progress of the Academy of Sciences is announced, the You laboratory will start to get busy. Numerical analysis and inversion of these illusory progress will be carried out.

After a year like this, the results of You Lab are pretty good. The main server for simulation has changed from a commercial server to a supercomputer with a running speed of 5 trillion times per second. On this supercomputer, about the full simulation equipment

The theoretical basis for it has been sorted out.

When Liu Xiang walked into the laboratory, he saw Ge Junzheng, who was in charge of the network conjecture, with a smile on his face.

"How?" Liu Xiang smiled, took out a cigarette and handed it to Ge Jun. The latter took it and took a deep breath, then made an OK gesture to Liu Xiang.

data transmission.”

"According to the analysis of the server group, with such a large amount of calculation, the main server is probably not enough to use a supercomputer with 10 petaflops."

"Well, a few days ago they re-sent the plan and asked us to purchase another 30-teraflop supercomputer for research and development. As a result, I got a 10-teraflop supercomputer." Liu Xiang smiled and also

I lit a cigarette for myself.

Liu Xiang, the playboy of the Academy of Science and Technology, knows very well. Supercomputers are needed everywhere, but not everyone can provide them at any time. Therefore, half a year ago, a supercomputer with 10 trillion operations was given but it was not available.

After being satisfied, Liu Xiang decisively helped the Academy of Sciences to build a petaflop supercomputer. In exchange for such a generous "favor" in the past, he obtained several pieces of information that he had never had access to before.

Making an admiring gesture to Liu Xiang, Yuan Ye touched his head and pointed to the inside of the laboratory, "By the way, Mr. Xi is also inside. It is said that he just came to the dedicated line, and tomorrow someone from the Academy of Sciences will come to discuss game development."

"What?"

Arriving so soon?
