Rebirth of the Evil Life

Everyone is unsure. How will the players react?

Regarding the day when "Contra Ne" will end, and the day when all games in "Second World" will end, all players were stunned when they heard the news! When they play online games, they never consider this, and they never think that online games will end one day. (Read novel) All online game players have never had this concept in their minds. In their view, as long as the game is still alive, they can experience the fun of the game at any time.

But now that Lin Feng's news has been announced, it's different. Online games will end, so they have spent so much time and energy to develop such powerful characters in the game. If the game ends, doesn't it mean that everything they have put in is gone? The past Zongzong will only become a memory and stay in the mind? All those equipment, levels, friends and reputation no longer exist?

The thought of this possibility undoubtedly thrills all online game players. If that were the case, who would dare to play an online game? After all, when you are having the most fun, the game suddenly ends and everything you own is gone. Wouldn’t this make people crazy?

As reporters announced the news, the global gaming community suddenly became noisy. All the players, regardless of whether they were online game players or not, began to have a heated discussion, discussing whether Lin Feng's idea of ​​an online game with an ending was right.

No, I firmly oppose the end of online games. If it ends, then everything I have invested in it will be completely meaningless. In this case, why should I still play online games? Isn't that a waste of time and energy? ——A very loyal online game player protested loudly.

Yes, if the online game is over, where can we get back the things we have? These are things that we have spent a lot of time and energy on in exchange for. How can we just disappear and disappear? ——Many players protested.

"Boss, there is a lot of doubts from outside public opinion now! Even those stand-alone game manufacturers have jumped out again." Wu Zhaopu said with a frown.

"Although our company has always focused on stand-alone games, we have also developed several online games ("Magic Baby") that were once popular, so we still have a little say in online games. From our point of view, online games It is a place for everyone to communicate about the game. If it ends, it will not only mean that the equipment and levels that everyone has worked hard for will be gone, but also the friends who have similar interests in the game will be gone. This is undoubtedly fatal. . Also, although stand-alone games also have endings, unlike online games, once a stand-alone game is completed, we can continue the game at any time from the previous game record, but once the online game ends, we can continue the game. You can’t understand the game either. Because the client is on the game development company’s side, not on the player’s side. So, although the two seem similar, they are actually quite different.” President Yoichi Wada commented.

Wada Yoichi's words undoubtedly made these questioning remarks even more serious. The official website of "Second World" is full of comments protesting the ending of online games. They all assert that if "Second World" dares to end a game, then they will stop playing all games in "Second World". In order to show their determination and give "Second World" a warning, almost all games under "Second World" chose to sit in and demonstrate in the game at the same time.

"Boss, we are really in big trouble now!" Wu Zhaopu frowned.

Now, in his opinion, Lin Feng's plan for this online game to have an ending is really terrible. Originally, why should an online game have an ending? Wouldn't it be better to let players keep playing? Anyway, as long as the company makes money, why bother with so much. When the time comes, wait until there are no more players, then close the server. As a result, Lin Feng now comes up with such a plan to directly stop all players from playing. Doesn't this give other game companies an opportunity?

Isn't it? After the "Second World" announced that online games would have an ending, facing the outrage of players, all online game companies announced that all their online games could continue to be played, and players would never worry that the games would end. .

Obviously, these online game companies, which have been suppressed by the "Second World" before, hope to use this opportunity to regain their strength and completely suppress the "Second World".

"Mr. Wu, don't worry. I'm naturally mentally prepared for the players' objections. Although it's so strong, all the games are actually sit-in demonstrations at the same time. This is a bit unexpected, but it doesn't mean that I'm not mentally prepared. So. , I will never compromise this time because online games must have an ending!" Lin Feng said firmly.

"Why? Boss, why is this?" Wu Zhaopu was puzzled. Isn't Lin Feng causing trouble for himself? He can obviously make money easily by creating gods, so why must he have trouble with the players? Isn’t this just looking for trouble?

Lin Feng smiled lightly. Then turn on the computer, enter "utube", open the video, and start a live broadcast to players around the world.

"Hello, fellow players. I believe that my company's 'Second World' recently announced that all its games will end, which has caused controversy among many people. I'm afraid the vast majority of people are against it." Lin Feng looked at the camera and talked. And talk.

"I know the reason for your objections. You are worried that everything you have put in before will be in vain, that your efforts will eventually become piles of data, and that your friends will also end because the game is over. Here, I want to remind you something , after all, games are just games, not life. Your life is on this earth. I hope everyone understands this. Of course, it is normal for you to feel sorry for it after all. But I want to ask. One sentence - when playing games, do we focus on the process or the results? "

Lin Feng's words undoubtedly shocked many people, and also made more people reflect on themselves.

"The process is important, but so are the results!" Some people with ulterior motives posted posts on the Internet, questioning Lin Feng.

"Yes, the process is important, and the results are also important, but have you ever thought about it, if an online game has no ending and everyone keeps playing, would it be interesting? We don't want to end an online game through our own efforts. , and then start a new online game experience? What's more, the ending I am talking about is not a sudden shutdown of the server, but when the player completes the ultimate task in the game, it changes the game process and pushes the game to the final ending. An ending. This ending is jointly created by all players. Each player plays an important role in it. You will witness with your own eyes the end of an online game that you have devoted a lot of time and energy to. What a proud and proud thing!" Lin Feng said emotionally.

Faced with Lin Feng's rhetorical question, many players fell into deep thought. After all, no matter how fun an online game is, it will always get boring. If you can rely on your own efforts to promote the development of an online game and finally let it enter the final chapter of the game, this is indeed a very proud thing.

"However, this is not an excuse for you to deprive us of the right to play games. It is us players who have the final say whether to play games or not, not the game developers!" one player said in a difficult manner.

However, this kind of difficulty quickly received responses from thousands of netizens. It is indeed quite sad to think that the game character that you have worked so hard to build has finally come to nothing.

"Everyone, let me reiterate again. What I mean by the end of the game is that all players have jointly completed several ultimate tasks in the game, changing the course of the game and bringing the game to the finale. The process in between requires All players have to complete it by themselves. It can be said that the end is not ended by our company, but by each player. Therefore, at least 70% of the players need to work together to complete these tasks. Whether an online game will end, I think, does not depend on our company, but on whether you players really want to complete such a task and end an online game. Also, it is not the end of the entire game, but the completion. If one server terminates the task and the other servers have not completed the task, they can still create a god game," Lin Feng said.

Regarding what Lin Feng said, all the players were silent. You know, when an online game reaches a certain stage, when all players' levels and equipment reach a certain stage, players will feel very empty and lonely. It needs more stimulation, otherwise it will always be meaningless pk, which can easily make people boring. And such an ultimate mission is indeed very attractive. And it's like a curse.

Lin Feng sets such a curse for players, which is to artificially limit the life cycle of an online game to facilitate the launch of the next online game of the same type. According to the "Second World" survey, the most profitable time for an online game is in the first and second years of its launch. At this time, everyone's enthusiasm is the highest, and its level, equipment, etc. are also the lowest. It takes a lot of time to play the game. At this time, game developers naturally have the greatest profits.

After three years, when everyone's level, equipment, and novelty of the game have risen to a higher level, their enthusiasm for the game will naturally begin to decline. After 5 years, its enthusiasm for gaming will be even lower, and the company's profits will naturally be lower.

However, its operating costs have not dropped, which will impose a huge burden on the company. In the end, there is only one ending, merging areas, merging areas, and finally closing when there is no one left. In that case, why bother? It is better to directly give players an ultimate mission to end an online game!
