Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 1186 Share food

Mickford's split of the game development department was quite sudden.

 No one in the industry expected it.

 Originally, Mickford's game department was still developing well, at least it was breaking even, and occasionally making a small profit.

 Why do you want to disband suddenly?

Myron Keys is obviously a little bit defensive, and the comments on the Internet still have some impact on him.

 In addition, the game business unit does not seem to be as profitable as he initially expected.

This made him start to flinch a little.

 Zhu Youxing also thought about it for a long time, but he didn't quite understand the reason.

 But it’s also a good thing for other companies.

Mickford's game industry has developed to a certain status, second only to Youxing, Brown Entertainment and Surui Electronics.

　　It can be considered as having some background.

If the split is suddenly announced, it means that the game business will not receive large-scale financial support from Mickford.

 The game department has to start thinking about its own profit and loss issues, as well as various technology research and development and purchases.

 Previously, many technology research and development and purchases were made by the Mickford headquarters.

 Now they have to spend some money on it.

Under such circumstances, it is a question whether Mickford's game department can maintain breakeven.

 First of all, the current number of people alone cannot support the development of three large-scale games in a row.

 They don’t have that much liquidity.

 For more than a month, people have been discussing this big shock in the gaming industry.

Of course, at the same time, some people began to make plans to offer talents in Mickford's game department.

Mickford himself wanted to split up the game department, so they were no longer secretive. Some game companies directly called Mickford's game department and threatened to split Mickford's game department. All game department employees were taken away together.

 Only employees of course.

Game copyrights, resources, data, etc. other than those of employees are not required.

 Because these game companies have different strengths, they do not need the assets left by other game companies. They only need people, not resources.

 These companies own copyrights and other matters, so there is no need to interfere with other companies’ unclear copyrighted games.

And now Mickford's reputation in the eyes of players is not good, and the value of their copyright has also been greatly reduced.

Now everyone in Mickford's game department is in a very low mood.

 Their development has not been too smooth since joining Mickford.

 Now that I have achieved certain results, my reputation has been ruined due to a series of things.

Then Myron Keyes seems to have broken the defense and no longer wants to directly participate in game development. Instead, he opens the platform resources to all game companies and encourages these game companies to put their games on the Mickford platform.

However, there are obviously not many game companies willing to do this.

The performance of the hardware of Mickford's electronic products cannot be said, but Mickford's own game department has not made any waves, and it is even less likely that these game companies will make much money.

Only those with the mentality that development difficulties are relatively low and one more platform means more money will consider putting the game on it.

Most of these are independent games and low-budget games.

 These are all seen by Zhu Youxing.

 Ever since Mickford announced that he would split up the game department, he has been paying attention to the whole thing.

More than a month later, Mickford's game department team has almost become a mess. Many people have already thought about changing jobs. It's just that they are still bound to Mickford's headquarters and have to wait for another one. The department split will be completed in about a month, allowing the game department to become an independent company, and these talents can regain their true freedom.

Now they seem to have the attitude of being in Cao's camp and in Han's heart.

Three large-scale games under development have completely stalled, and I am afraid that these three games will also come to an end.

Once the split is completed, many game companies will eat up the entire Mickford game department like vultures.

 “Boss, are you looking for me?”

The producer of Infinite World came to Zhu Youxing's office with some restraint.

 Normally, this producer lives in seclusion. After coming to Japan, he devoted most of his time to the continuous development of Infinite World.

 Although all game updates so far are free, subsequent increased revenue cannot cover the cost of subsequent development.

  But Zhuyouxing has been patiently providing them with technical and resource support.

 The producers of Infinite World are very grateful for this.

 Happy to have such a person in this world who is willing to give a game a chance, a chance to be recognized again.

Just recently, sales of Infinite World have begun to rise rapidly.

 This is different from the sales increased by previous major version updates.

 The game is not currently on discount, but tens of thousands of people buy this game every day.

 And the money is slowly adding up, and the total sales of the game have finally reached the tens of millions level, entering the tens of millions sales base in the world.

All of this is really the result of the **** of games in front of me, Zhu Yusei.

“Sit down wherever you want, I just want to confirm something with you.”

 “You can ask whatever you want.”

“You should be familiar with Mickford’s game department, right? I want to know the ability of the people in this department to develop games.”

 Why did the boss suddenly ask this?

 The producers of Infinite World have some doubts.

 But Zhu Youxing did not suddenly want to ask this question.

 In just over a month, he spent most of his time playing some of Mickford’s previous classic games.

There are more and more games in this world now, and Zhu Youxing can no longer play them. Mickfu's ones were subconsciously ignored by him.

It wasn’t until he saw Mickford’s sudden announcement of the split that he thought of this fourth-largest game development company that was fairly well-known.

 Since it can be called the fourth largest in the world, it must be capable.

 It’s just that I have been sniping at Mickford intentionally or unintentionally in the past, making their game products always tepid.

 Just like Titanfall in the previous life, a game of excellent quality was scheduled near the release date of its own and competitors' top shooting games.

Then players obviously don’t have to hesitate too much and will definitely choose more well-known games to buy and play.

 And Titanfall became cannon fodder.

 Many of Mickford's games are in this state.

Now, Zhuyouxing finally thought of playing Mickford’s games and found that the games they made are actually quite good.

Both the level design and plot gameplay are above the passing line, and there are occasional highlights.

It can only be said that Mickford's game department is too miserable. It has been severely attacked by himself and other game companies, making this game development team always tepid.
