Super Game Empire

Tang Xiaorui almost fainted. He never expected that this game would actually need verification!

"But I have also seen others playing StarCraft and CSS! Did they all use cdkey? I watched online games in Internet cafes, but I didn't see them to verify!"

"You think, if there is no cdkey verification, wouldn't these games be completely free? Internet cafes are LANs, and LANs don't need to be authenticated when playing games online, but once you want to go to the Longteng game battle platform to fight with others, then you need to be authenticated. I

I think Longteng is enough to do this, at least he can give you a chance to play for free. ()”

"Isn't it possible to adopt the free mode of "Bubble Hall"? "The Dance Team" is also free!"

"How come you kid can't figure it out? The selling point of "Dark 2" is the plot game of personal role-playing. If you make it free, how can it make a profit?"

"But..." Tang Xiaorui felt that he really couldn't figure it out, but he couldn't tell what he didn't understand for a moment, so he couldn't figure it out. Aren't everyone advocating that online resources are free? News is free, no need to waste money to buy newspapers

, Movies are free, you don’t have to waste money buying tickets and enter the cinema. Japanese action movies are also free, and students all love to watch them, but why can’t the games be free?

"Hey, buddy, you don't think that all the stand-alone games in this world are free, do you?"

"Brother, you're thinking too much. A game production company needs to invest a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to make a game. "Bubble Hall" and "Jin Dance Group" are free, but props and services are charged. Look at "Legend" for free.

No? You have to charge for a point card! In addition, "Dark 2" was originally a stand-alone game, and if it didn't charge, I would find it strange!"

Several players sitting next to him were persuading Tang Xiaorui, many of them were veteran players. They spent their usual rest time in Internet cafes, and they were very clear about the development of domestic games and Internet industries over the years.

Tang Xiaorui was still confused. Since he couldn't figure it out, he simply asked the glasses network administrator: "What should I do to play it? Haven't you copied all the machines and made the game? Isn't this Internet cafe genuine?"

Glasses network administrator said: "Although every machine has Dark 2, the Longteng game battle platform is unique. Your cdkey is bound to your platform account. You log in to the platform to play Dark 2, and in other places.

Log in to the platform on the machine, the effect is the same. The platform system will determine that you are an authentic user. The computer can be different, but the platform account is unique, the game client is the same, but the game kernel is embedded with a verification program, and the cdkey follows the platform account.

Go instead of computer!”

Tang Xiaorui then realized that if you buy it, buy it. He started to look for the sales of Diablo 2 in the Longteng Game Battle Platform Mall. This was really the first time he used this platform, and even searched for the entrance to the game platform store for a long time.

“Promotional price is 129 yuan!”

Tang Xiaorui almost collapsed. His voice became louder unknowingly: "I'm a snatching money! 129 yuan is still a promotional price. How much is that if you don't promote it? The original price is 199.9 yuan? Do you think others are kids?

!”

His shouting attracted many people to look at this direction, and some players who knew it were secretly despising them. This kind of masterpiece stand-alone game is sold in European and American countries for $49.9 per box, which is 400

Longteng cuts half of the price for domestic prices of 200 yuan, and then 129 yuan was promoted. After only half, it was 65% off, which is equivalent to 30% off the price of foreign prices. Is there any Chinese game company that is more conscientious than Longteng?

?

"Hey, buddy, don't yell! Don't play if you can't afford to play. I've seen people like you for too long! Hey! What's your attitude? Still glaring at me? Network administrator, check this kid's ID card. He is 18 years old.

Is it?" A handsome guy next to him looked at Tang Xiaorui in disgust and called the Internet administrator directly.

Tang Xiaorui was a little panicked. He was using a fellow villager's ID card to register. He was just the first year of high school this year and was a little mature. When he was scared by this handsome guy, he quickly shut up and sat down for half a minute and felt uncomfortable all over.

Just stand up and leave.

Internet cafes are not short of business during the National Day Golden Week, and most people want to get on the phone. Tang Xiaorui just left, and immediately made up for one behind him.

"Hmph! The young boy is still here and there are five or six! I'm not happy, so I won't kill him!" The handsome guy cursed, which caused a burst of echoes.

"That's right, others sell for more than 400 yuan in China, but only sell for 129 yuan in China, which is less than 30% off. What's the case with Longteng, which is not a conscientious enterprise?"

"Damn the little kids are coming to make trouble. If they are all these people, they will see if they have any games to play in a few years! He didn't think about it. Longteng's so many things are free, and LC chat software is free

Yes? Email, website, forum is free? TV shows are free? They don’t rely on selling game software to survive. How can they bankrupt the game companies in Japan? How can they surpass their European and American game peers, and how can they achieve their current status?

scale?"

"Brother, you're right! It's because Longteng is so powerful that we have a 30% chance to buy games, and we can also play so many high-quality games. To be honest, although these games often occupy the market.

I earn half of my monthly salary, but I am also happy! Everyone has the responsibility to support the authentic version!"

"That's right! Support the authentic version! Everyone has their responsibility!"

The commotion in this corner of the Internet cafe did not spread, and soon everyone went to do their own things.

Tang Xiaorui settled the bill at the bar, and he vaguely felt the contempt of others.

But he is just a first-year high school student, and he is a first-year high school student in a high school vocational school. What money can a poor student have? He can't afford "Dark 2" for 129 yuan, and he has to hesitate for a long time even if it is 12.9 yuan.

But half a day of online fees and meals.

He walked two streets, entered through the back door of the school, and returned to the dormitory in a short while.

"Brother Rui, there is no place for the Internet cafe?" A short bean sperm was leaning against the corner of the bed and reading a comic book. When he saw Tang Xiaorui coming back, he just asked casually.

Tang Xiaorui walked to his bed and lay on top: "Cao! I can't even play a game, I can only buy the genuine serial number to play! It costs 129 yuan!"

"It's so expensive!" Douyacai said with a smile: "Fat Long next door came to find you just now and asked you to come back to his dormitory to find him."

Tang Xiaorui sat up after a carp, and Feilong had a rich aunt who bought him a computer, which was the only one in their class.

When he walked into Feilong's dormitory, Tang Xiaorui found that there were already seven or eight onlookers standing inside. He was shouting that he would kill him and kill him. He must be watching him play "Legend".

He asked directly: "Fat Long, why are you looking for me?"

Feilong saw it and quickly smiled and put down his mouse, letting the buddy sitting next to him over to him. He walked out and hugged Tang Xiaorui by himself. The two walked to the corridor outside the dormitory door.

"Last time I heard you say, are you a fellow villager who is playing "Legend" learning computers? Is his computer technology very awesome?" Fei Long asked.

"Yes, he is the best in their class. He always praises him as a rare genius in Xinhua Computer School in ten years, but I don't understand. Our Lanxiang learns excavators and is with them Xinhua Computers

The majors of the school are different.”

"That's fine. You call him to see if you can have dinner together at noon. I'll call a few friends to get together."

Although Tang Xiaorui found it strange, he still called his fellow villager. Fortunately, the two schools were only a few stops away, and the fellow villager rode his bicycle for a while before he arrived.

Feilong really invited a few friends this time, but they were a few years older than these vocational high school students. They didn't seem to be college students. A few people smoked and drank and sweared. If they hadn't talked about the game, Tang Xiaorui would definitely have

Suspected that they were gangsters in society.

Tang Xiaorui's fellow villager named Tang Zhiguo, Feilong raised his glass to greet him: "Brother Tang, Feilong admires people who are most interested in computer technology, fun games and awesome. I wonder if I can ask a professional computer question?"

Tang Zhiguo drank wine: "You ask."

Feilong asked: "If I wanted to set up a server myself to make games like "Legend" and "Paradise 1", do you think it's possible?"

Tang Zhiguo was stunned and touched the back of his head, saying: "Build a private server of "Legend"? It's impossible! The interaction between the game client and the server is encrypted layer by layer. If you don't talk about anything else, just talk about data.

No one knows the encryption algorithm, and it cannot be overcome, and nothing else can be discussed. But if you know all such a core thing, it means that the source code of "Legend" has been leaked, and it is not difficult to set up a server."

Feilong was a little unwilling to accept it: "Is there really no hope? These brothers are all experts in playing games and are very experienced in the society. If you can help me solve the problem of setting up a server, I will be responsible for finding it.

You don’t need to worry about people coming to play, collect some cards, sell equipment, and operate things. We will share the money for you!”

Several brothers of Feilong were also persuading them, and they all said that they were level 35 Taoist priests, level 36 mages, Shabak Guild. They could beat them in the entire server with no more than one hand. How many guild bosses do they know?

of.

Tang Zhiguo smiled bitterly: "It's really not possible. The game must see the source code. You think, you also need to sell some cards and equipment. How do you adjust the explosion rate? How do you sell equipment? All these need to be changed to the source code!"

Everyone was a little disappointed and was not very happy to eat.

Tang Xiaorui suddenly asked: "Brother, how about "Diablo 2"? It has a battle, and I heard from the network administrator that you only need to enter an IP address."

Tang Zhiguo didn't raise his head: "What else do you want to think about the new game that was released today!"

Tang Xiaorui originally thought that after eating this meal today, everyone would give up the idea of ​​setting up a network server and return to their respective schools and do whatever they should do.

But a few days later, Tang Zhiguo took the initiative to find Feilong and others, and it seemed that the private server had some clues! (To be continued...)
