Metropolis: I’m Really Not A Prodigal Son

Niu Hewei is a fan of Wu Guansheng on Penguin Video website.

He is also a game developer and second-generation rich man.

So he develops games not to make money.

It's totally a hobby.

So a game studio was formed.

Developed many small games.

Even if the family is rich, Niu Hewei can't help but keep adding money to it.

After all, game studio employees need wages.

One year after the studio opened, Niu Hewei invested more than 300,000 yuan in total.

His parents quit because they were afraid of losing money.

But he was afraid that his son would waste time and end up losing his youth.

Then Niu Hewei was given a final six-month deadline.

If his game studio is not making money, he will go home and inherit the family business.

Niu Hewei was in a depressed mood and started watching videos on Penguin Video.

As a result, I happened to see the latest video released by Wu Guansheng, "Does Domestic Games Have a Future?"

This video title immediately moved him.

Because he has been doing independent development for a year, and only he knows the ups and downs he has experienced.

After this year of blows, his passion was almost drained.

So whether Jiuzhou Games has a future? Niu Hewei's first reaction was that there is no future.

But he still clicked on the video and watched it.

At the beginning of the video, it is about a pirate boy.

A post on a forum that ridiculed the genuine version.

For example, cheers for the cracking team and supports the cracking team.

It never costs money to play games, only Dasha Diao spends money.

Even the pirate guy said that he would take car culture as an example.

For example, why didn’t Kyushu have a car culture in the 1990s?

Car culture has begun to rise in recent years?

Going back to the origin, because we can’t afford a car, of course there is no car culture.

So why does Kyushu have a very developed gaming culture.

For example, many game forums emerge in endlessly.

It is precisely because a group of people have played anti-piracy game consoles.

Old players who pirated PC stand-alone games have become the mainstay.

Still think that without piracy, where can domestic PC stand-alone games come from?

Many game industries entered the industry precisely because of piracy.

This piracy guy even thinks that the reason why stand-alone game manufacturers have gone bankrupt in recent years is this.

It was an online game company like Mouse Game Platform that accepted the redemption.

Everyone has gone to play online games, so stand-alone games are lonely.

When Niu Hewei saw this part of the video, it was like dragging the pirate guy out of the forum.

Go up and give him a slap in the face until he can no longer take care of himself.

Play piracy and play it confidently.

The reason why Niu Hewei had no choice but to go back and inherit the company.

He was framed by countless "piracy gangs".

Niu Hewei suppressed his inner anger and then looked down.

After the video finished talking about the pirate boy, the style changed and it talked about the current situation of stand-alone games in Kyushu.

A few years ago, domestic stand-alone games were quite brilliant.

There are many good games with excellent gameplay and graphics.

For example, "Fengfeng Fantasy", "Empire of Heaven" and so on.

However, the profits of these good games have been greatly reduced due to piracy.

Some game developers even appeared in order to make a good game.

All the houses and cars were mortgaged.

But the game was cracked the day after it went online.

As a result, game developers lost their money.

Gradually, the entire game market has created a vicious cycle.

In order to survive, many stand-alone manufacturers have either turned to making online games.

Or copy stand-alone games on the market that can still be sold for money.

Therefore, the theme types of stand-alone games are almost all fairy-tale RPGs.

Or a real-time strategy game set in the Three Kingdoms period?

Is it because we Kyushu people are not innovative?

Of course not, but even if you innovate, you will still face the risk of being pirated.

Why not follow the trend and design some games that are supported by die-hard fans, so that you can still sell some money.

It is because of this reason that Kyushu's games have gone out of innovation.

Without innovation, there is no core competitiveness.

Coupled with the poor design of the game's world view, it caused the loss of most players.

When Niu Hewei saw this part of the video, he felt the same way.

He is a small game that has innovated a lot of gameplay.

Many players think it is very novel and the original version is good.

But when selling for money, the number of buyers is basically single digits.

But piracy caught up the next day.

As a result, Niu Hewei can often be seen playing pirated games of his own.

Used to attract traffic to many pirated websites.

Although he was angry, there was nothing he could do.

Next in the video, we talk about fake genuine copies.

The so-called fake genuine ones are the same as the "deck" of cars.

The box and outer packaging are exactly the same, but there is no security code.

The company is also a small copycat company. There are two files in the CD when you open it.

Image file and an installation file.

The harm of counterfeit genuine copies is far greater than that of ordinary piracy. It not only robs the market share of genuine copies.

It has also seriously damaged the market order of genuine products and destroyed players' trust in genuine products.

Many counterfeit copies have reached the point where they look fake and real.

It is difficult for ordinary players to tell the clues from the outer packaging and internal instructions.

The problem is only discovered after installing the game.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that domestic stand-alone game manufacturers went bankrupt.

The reason why there isn’t a great stand-alone game on the market.

Rampant piracy has led to another problem.

In the video, Wu Guansheng showed everyone a recording.

It was his conversation with Chang Shengyang.

What Chang Shengyang told was about being rejected on Planet V.

Especially what Meisongke said, Kyushu people only deserve to play garbage games!

Wu Guansheng asked everyone a question in the video.

Why would Mysonk from Star V say such a thing?

There is only one reason, piracy!

Immediately afterwards, the video changed the topic and talked about the future of domestic stand-alone games.

I want (Li Hao) to make stand-alone games in Kyushu truly rise.

Then there is only one way to combat piracy.

How can we make foreigners respect us instead of calling us trash?

Still a way to combat piracy!

But fighting piracy is easier said than done?

Now I am on the mouse game platform, but I want to give it a try.

Then Wu Guansheng briefly introduced the Mouse Game Platform.

It also builds the future vision of the Mouse game platform into a stand-alone sales channel without piracy.

Said it once in the video.

The most important point is that the Mouse Game Platform is now preparing to use the self-developed "The Legend of Rexia".

As a pilot work.

At the same time, we are recruiting all people with lofty ideals to join the Mouse Game Platform.

Be a common witness!

At the end of the video, there are the talents needed for the mouse show.

After watching the video, Niu Hewei became tearful.

He turned off the computer, grabbed his coat, and rushed to the airport!
