Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

According to the historical development trajectory, Myron Case and the Jobs that Zhu Youxing knew in his previous life are more than 90% similar.

Single-handedly founded a powerful electronics industry company, and also released several blockbuster products.

And then he has pretty good vision too.

It is foreseen that electronic products will gradually develop towards miniaturization and portability in the future, and smart phones will have a great future.

But he also had a different trajectory than Jobs.

That is, after he was kicked out by Hongguo Company, he chose not to start an animation company.

He continued to stick to his choice to make electronic products.

This may be due to the influence of Zhu Youxing, a butterfly.

Jobs was hated by Apple shareholders at the time because of his bad temper and some business strategies, and then kicked him out.

Perhaps Jobs, who was kicked out at the time, felt frustrated, but it would not be too strong, so after being kicked out, he chose to engage in another technology industry that was also in its infancy: 3D modeling and animation, and created the world's first 3D feature-length animation: Toy Story.

Later, the animation company developed by Jobs became bigger and bigger, and Apple became worse and worse due to poor management. Later, Jobs invited the Dragon King to return and lead Apple to glory again.

This can be regarded as a relatively standard kingly and cool story.

But in this world, Myron Keys was kicked out of business competition.

Myron Case was kicked out of the company because he did not take the lead in the video game business market at that time, and his own product competitiveness was obviously insufficient. He was not considered a qualified CEO by shareholders.

Myron Keith in this world is more of a kind of unwillingness after being kicked out.

He thinks his path is right, but those idiots from Hongguo Company only think about immediate interests.

So since this is the case, let me prove it to you, to prove that my path is correct.

So he resolutely founded Mickford, which produces and operates portable music players, smart phones, and personal computers.

In the end he succeeded, but he also lacked some things that Jobs experienced in his previous life.

So he doesn't have a deep understanding of how effective cartoons can be.

If it was Jobs in his previous life, when he watched Cyberpunk Edgewalker, he might also have foreseen that this animation might have a very strong impact, at least in terms of video games.

It's just that Myron Keith didn't foresee it, because he didn't have the concept.

"Hey, why are you going?"

In Mickford's game development department, the young man was about to leave with a document, and the department head immediately stopped the young man.

That young man is the latest in the department but is a celebrity.

Together with a few friends, he created a technology that can randomly generate an infinite world, adding the fun of infinite exploration to the game.

However, the development of this infinite world technology still needs sufficient financial support, which cannot be done by just a few young people, so they sought the help of Mickford to help them develop the game they imagined.

Myron Case is very optimistic, and he, the person in charge, is also very optimistic.

The young man was stopped, he looked back and saw that it was the head of the department calling him, and immediately said happily: "I want to report to my boss, Myron Keith, about my recent game development progress, because of your help from the boss and your boss, we are here. The development is progressing rapidly, and a game DEMO can already be made."

The head of the department was relieved when he heard it. This young man still has a lot of ideals, and he is also very happy to create a game development environment for such a person with ideals.

It's nice to see him achieve results, but...

"Don't go to the boss first, the boss is not in a good mood recently."

"Ah? Why? We seem to have a lot of good games online recently. I have played these games, and they are all good games. Could it be... that they don't sell well?"

"Well, and it's not just that the sales are not good, there are also reasons for the bad sales. Recently, the boss is in a bad mood because of this reason."

The head of the department remembered that he went to report to his boss the day before yesterday, and his boss had a gloomy look.

He looked at the sales of several games as of today, and he didn't dare to bother the boss anymore.

We'll have to wait at least a few days.

"Reason? What's the reason?" the young man asked cautiously.

"Because of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, they used a promotional method that they have never used before, which suddenly and violently rebounded the sales of games that were originally declining, and also occupied an absolute hot topic on social networks, affecting our game sales. .”

There is no need to hide this kind of thing from this young man, anyway, some game media will probably talk about it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Cyberpunk 2077 has risen against the trend again, and the sales volume of this game on the Battle.net platform has returned to the top of the list.

After all, the sales of this game have fallen out of the top ten weekly sales, but because of the cartoon Cyberpunk Edgewalker, this game has returned to the top of the list.

Generally speaking, the number one on Battle.net almost has to have hundreds of thousands or even millions of sales.

A game that has been released for more than two months can still stay at the top of the list, and Youxing Electronic Entertainment can have this kind of strength.

"Boss, are you saying... Cyberpunk 2077?"

"Well, that's right, you usually pay attention to this game, right?"

"Of course, this game is the ceiling of the current game industry, even though it is our competitor."

The person in charge of the department said: "So, because this game sells very well and squeezes our game sales space, now the boss is very depressed and angry, so you wait to find him."

The young man said a little unwillingly: "But I should say this is good news to the boss. There is new progress in the game development on my side."

"Now I'm afraid that the boss will get angry when he hears about video games, so I suggest you don't go looking for trouble."

"Okay, then I will listen to your boss." The young man finally compromised, and the boss's words were indeed reasonable.

Then the two chatted for a while about Cyberpunk 2077.

Even he, the head of Mickford's game department, recognized Cyberpunk 2077 developed by his competitors.

There is no suspense that Cyberpunk 2077 is the current video game ceiling.

But he wants to look at the game from the perspective of a game developer, hoping to learn something from it.

The two really thought about the various advantages of this game for a while, to see if they could be applied to the current game development.

During this process, the young man asked with some concern: "Boss, do you think the boss will reduce the capital investment of our department because of this blow?"

The young man is obviously worried about whether the investment in developing his own game will be reduced. His random world is still a bit of a waste of money, at least it will cost 10 to 20 million US dollars.

He uses a system called procedural random generation, and the research also costs a lot of money.

"You don't have to worry about this. The loss this time was an accident. It just disrupted some of the original boss' plans, and the reduction in investment is not enough."

Myron Keith is not short-sighted, and he also knows that this accident has nothing to do with the quality of the game.

"That's good, that's good." The young man breathed a sigh of relief.
