Super Game Empire

Yang Yun’s request is very simple, but for Oliver, it’s a bit difficult.

"Your World War II game will try to meet the requirements of the Chinese government. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to make the game platform open for you. Do you understand what I mean?"

"You mean, exaggerating the combat achievements of Zhongzhao Team?"

"No, it is not an exaggeration of China's victory, but a reduction of the failure of the Chinese team, such as trying not to seize a certain position in the mission."

"But... shouldn't our games follow the truth and restore history as much as possible?"

"Germany has also banned many games that praise Nazi spirit or discredit Jews. China bans some games that have negative impressions for it, and you should actually understand it."

"I still can't understand what you meant at all. World War II China was a victorious country. Even if it failed partially, it would be the same..."

"No, you shouldn't tell me these reasons. Sometimes, the country doesn't need to reason, right?"

This sentence, Miss Translator didn't know how to translate it for a while. Swedish Oliver may find it difficult to understand the Chinese people's thinking, but for Yang Yun, it is in the ideological industry of game production, and the country prohibits this ninth

The release of art is really common.

The situation of the "Battlefield" series in real history is very embarrassing. On the one hand, the Chinese government prohibits the introduction of such an overly realistic killing game, which is not in line with the positive, healthy and upward guiding role. It is not as good as the domestic blockbuster "Glorious Mission" developed by Ningcheng Military Region, showing the battlefield.

In order to protect the territorial integrity of the motherland and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the motherland, the Shang Dynasty is a magnificent and touching story.

On the other hand, EA service providers do not open up games to China IP, because they do not welcome low-quality Chinese players. After Chinese players enter, various planes will hit and get bugs, transparent people, and drag corpses, which will greatly affect other normal games.

Players, and there are many pirated operating systems in China and many pirated software. Some Chinese players are unwilling to pay and like to spray game junk, etc.

In fact, it is quite a fun game, but for various reasons, a mountain stands between the game operator and the player. The White House in the United States was bombed n times in the game. But in China, even the children's cartoon Pleasant Goat will become

The defendant, so Yang Yun really doesn't want to cause trouble for himself.

He would rather let Dice reduce China's scenes from the beginning than make a map of China, so that China will disappear from World War II. This is better than making an expansion pack of "Rise of China". Who should I coax?

Who did it for? Can you beat him by the second uncle slap his forehead? Did you not see that I moved "Red Alert" to the alien planet Patis?

Oliver left China with a vague understanding. He returned to Sweden with a disc of "Saroman Snake: Red Alert" given by Yang Yun, and reported his trip to China in detail to the senior management, carefully considering cooperation with Longteng.

Or a matter of sale.

Victor directly signed a cooperation agreement with Longteng. Bungie's "Hao" will be the key training target of Longteng. A ten-year exclusive supply contract was signed. Bungie received R&D funds for guarantee and sponsorship, and Longteng obtained

A partner with unlimited potential. Ten years are enough to sweep the entire world.

Observe the competitors, the real-time strategy game of Microsoft game battle platform includes the "Age of Empires" series. Cavedog's "Sweeping Thousand Army" series, and the first-person shooting game is "Mission and Call" under Activision to carry the flag. Its strength is not

Not strong.

There are no new masterpieces on Longteng for the time being. The classic "Red Alert", "Starcraft" and "Warcraft" have not been released in subsequent versions. "Counter-Strike" has also not been patched, but the newly added "Hag" and "Battlefield"

》 acted as Long Teng's attacker and compared the American Activision's "Mission and Call" to the forum. Although no one saw the real thing, it would take a year to compete.

In March 2000, the turmoil in the gaming industry gradually became calm.

A big pattern in the world has formed a giant that stands out for the most, three secondary giants are fighting for each other and trying to catch up, and there is no chance of survival outside the four.

From the perspective of market share, Longteng accounts for 80% on TV game consoles, Microsoft accounts for 7%, newsonic accounts for 8%, ktt Nintendo 5%. Although the latter three have a small market share, they are supported by a large number of loyal fans.

Their share will not be too low either.

In the PC industry, if you do not take out separate companies to count, but only talk about game platforms, then Longteng Game Battle Platform and its third-party game company alliance account for 50% of the share, and Microsoft Game Alliance accounts for 30%.

Another 20% are independent game companies, Apple Mac games, or Amiga computer games.

A big battle to poach is inevitable, with various conspiracies, open countermeasures, money-burning games, support plans, in order to compete for partners and game players, Microsoft and Longteng Company have long broken their faces and fought against each other openly.

.

Bungie and Dice, who were originally favored by Microsoft, were taken away by Longteng and signed an exclusive contract.

More than a dozen small game companies that originally supplied Longteng for many years were tempted by Microsoft and bought them up to the Microsoft camp.

Executives frequently change jobs. Today they are in this company, and they may be in a directly hostile company tomorrow.

The outstanding backbone game designer resigned voluntarily, which not only brought information about competitors to the new company, but also disrupted the other party's deployment of shortage of people in key positions. If the other party's people are not poached, their home may be poached too.

Several people in this small circle are too frequent, which has caused many companies to worry.

But thankfully, with the development of science and technology, Moore's law in the computer industry is still faithfully verifying that every 18 months, the performance of computers will double, the IT industry is developing rapidly, and the performance of personal computers is gradually increasing

, while the price is falling all the way, and more and more ordinary families have purchased electronic products such as computers, game consoles, learning machines, etc., and the information age is becoming more and more closely related to people's daily lives.

...

In Shanghu, Lujiazui, Shanghu Central Cultural and Art Zone, a medium-sized stadium is busy with its final decoration work before opening.

The property rights of this building called the Central Cultural District Stadium belong to the Shangshanghai Municipal Government. It is located next to the Shangshanghai International Music Theater in the third phase of the project. It is managed by the Shangshanghai Municipal Hall. Its main task is to undertake some international small and medium-sized sports projects.

Hold some indoor sports meetings for employees of Shanghai enterprises, and then organize national professional basketball competitions to open fitness to citizens on weekdays.

Yang Yun, president of Longteng Entertainment Games Company, appeared at the gymnasium decoration venue, which made some media friends with keen sense of smell curious. Why did Longteng get related to the gymnasium again?

Could it be that the Shanghai Longteng Shark Club is moving to the home court to this gym?

Or is Longteng Company going to hold a press conference here?

It is also possible that Longteng is preparing to develop a new indoor sports competition game?

There are many suspicions, only a few people around Yang Yun know his real purpose. Now they appeared on the underground floor of the gymnasium. In addition to the five temporarily blocked safety passages, there is only one exit for people.

When entering and exiting, the entire underground layer is enclosed and closed, and the decoration construction is underway.

Two tall blonde and high-necked foreigners were wearing hard hats and pointing on the drawings. Yang Yun was also wearing hard hats, nodding while listening, and occasionally expressing opinions. What he said would make the two foreigners ponder.

Zhang Guoqiang and others stood behind him, looking at the entire floor, and were also discussing in a low voice.

In the core urban area of ​​Shangshanghai, where every inch of land is valuable, such a large gymnasium will definitely be used well. There is also a second underground floor and a third underground floor for parking lots. The first underground floor was rented by Longteng Company at a low price of 30 yuan.

Years, it is used to operate a relatively trendy game, kart.

The development of karts has not been in China for a long time, and it has only been more than ten years. However, according to statistics from the China Flight Federation, there are more than 30 fleets, more than 100 drivers, few spectators, and high vehicles and accessories to bring safety.

Danger, without a complete professional sports system to support it, this sport is destined to not achieve good development in China.

The security guard at the entrance of the first floor of the underground intercepted a small Audi convoy. The windshield of the front car had a big word "Shanghai Sports Bureau Pass" written on it. A middle-aged man with a secretary got off the car and stood at the security guard.

He lowered his head in front of him and explained something, but the security guard with a safety helmet shook his head firmly, refused to open the door to the convoy, and said something on the intercom. Even if the secretary took out his work permit to show him, the security guard still shook his head firmly.

"Director Liu, they didn't say they were allowed to enter..." After the secretary who was leading the way gathered with the people coming from behind, he walked to the second car together and explained to the officials in the car with some depression.

"Didn't you show them the documents?"

"I gave it, but they said they didn't know each other, and they didn't receive a notice of releasing vehicles from non-construction construction units. I hope we don't make things difficult for them."

Director Liu was also stunned. He is a deputy department-level official. It should not be so difficult to meet someone outside the system in China, right? Such an obvious government convoy was blocked by a few mud-legged security guards. Is he?

What about pretending to be the President?

But being serious with the security guard is too disastrous, right? The security guard's meaning is very obvious. If they really want to go in, then go to the person above and just notify them to let them go and they will not stop them.

But where did Director Liu contact the person in charge? He rushed over when he heard that Yang Yun came to inspect the construction site, for fear of neglecting the big financial supporter. (To be continued...)
