Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 317 The birth of a gaming ambition
Chapter 317 The Birth of a Game Careerist
"Excuse me, sir, do you know GBA?"
"GBA? ... Oh, you mean that upcoming handheld, right? Of course I do, how could I not know about this fun stuff?"
On a very prosperous street in the United States, a TV reporter and a videographer interviewed random people on the street.
As the popularity of GBA gradually increased, especially after GBA was released first in Japan, some out-of-the-box evaluation videos have appeared on online video platforms. People in the United States are naturally looking forward to watching those games with beautiful pictures.
And just in the days before the release, the reporters are also keen to take this opportunity to grab the heat.
The reporter took the microphone and aimed at a young man on the road and continued to ask questions.
"So are you ready to buy this latest product?"
"Sure, because it's the most fashionable thing, and it's not expensive."
"Are you interested in other handhelds of the same type? For example, Suri's handhelds, or Lierda's handhelds."
The young man looked blank: "Ah? What are those?"
"That's right. Youxing Electronic Entertainment is not the only handheld console. In fact, you can experience more from other companies, and the quality of the games is also not bad." The reporter explained patiently.
"Is that so..." The young man still didn't quite understand.
He can only be regarded as a player who has just been forcibly pulled in by the heat. Before that, he didn't even have a game console.
And the previous play experience was all obtained from friends.
He also only knew about Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.
"Hey, don't listen to this reporter's nonsense, the game consoles in other homes are garbage, not worth mentioning at all."
At this moment, the friend around the young man cautiously pulled his companion.
Americans are not bad money, even if they really spend more money to buy a few game consoles with more than 100 dollars, it is not a big problem.
But buying a bunch of garbage is also a block in your heart, why bother yourself?
The reporter was embarrassed for a while, obviously his Amway failed.
So he immediately changed his strategy: "It's true that the game consoles of other companies are not very good now, but the game industry is also promising in the future, and it can't always be the only one, right?"
"I don't know, anyway, all I know is that I only need to buy Yuxing Electronic Entertainment now."
The young people who were interviewed at first still didn’t quite understand what was going on, so the interview ended abruptly.
Then the reporter asked several passersby on the street in succession.
There are still a few people who really understand the whole picture of the game industry, but some people really listen to his Amway and are ready to try other game consoles.
The release time of the game consoles this time is very short, so short that there are not many opportunities for other game consoles to take advantage of.
However, the real 3D graphics game console of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has not been officially released, and many manufacturers have come up with the idea of a new game console.
If you just make a game console that can run 3D games, even a pseudo 32-bit game console is enough.
Use two 16-bit chips that are a little bit of garbage to force the frequency up and let them run 3D graphics, which not only saves money but also fools novice players.
In the United States, many developers have paid more attention to the game console itself, or the entity itself of the game cartridge.
There are still a few who really value content.
Because the United States has always been a country that attaches great importance to physical assets, even if the Digital Millennium Copyright Protection Law has been introduced, it still does not pay enough attention to the quality of software itself.
On this point, people in some industries have also put forward their own opinions, and I hope that companies in the United States can adopt it.
But most game development companies and game factories in the United States are still subsidiaries of large companies.
What kind of attitude is the above companies, they must have the same attitude, even if they want to focus on the training of game quality itself, it is difficult to give game developers higher treatment.
At this point, the once-popular small game development teams made a lot of money because of it.
At the beginning, they took advantage of the chaotic era of game development in the United States to make all kinds of cheap pirated and high imitation games.
Many of the pirated high imitation games they developed at that time directly took the code of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment and reused them.
Even if Zhu Yuxing reacted very quickly in this regard, and quickly used the lawyers' team and other forces to attack these teams, many of them still made a lot of money.
Some people have achieved financial freedom in just a few weeks. It can be said that it is a very crazy time.
However, this chaotic era did not last long, and these small teams gradually came to an end because of the mature game market.
The main reason for is of course that Youxing Electronic Entertainment is suing everywhere like a mad dog.
None of these teams at that time had clean hands, so naturally they agreed.
In the end, these people were hiding in hiding. It was not until the US government came forward to sanction Yuxing Electronic Entertainment that they popped up again and began to point the country. They felt that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment was about to die, and their era came back again.
But, before he was happy for a long time, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment turned them all over with a brand new game console.
This group of people is gradually getting a little desperate, and some people are even ready to give up the video game industry.
Originally, they were just some guys who got together to make quick money because of their interest. Although their game development experience increased, they were a little nervous.
Seeing that Youxing Electronic Entertainment is about to become bigger and stronger, and then look at some of the previous street interview programs, these people are ready to change careers.
However, at this moment, a person appeared.
He is the former CEO of Lilda, whose name is Huck Brown.
He is somewhat of a legend, and Lierda was founded by him alone.
However, his fate was the same as that of Myron Keyes of Hongguo Company, who was kicked out of the company he founded.
But someone like him, who was chosen by God in his era, would never easily admit defeat because of one or two setbacks.
Unlike Myron who hates the game industry, he really likes the video game entertainment industry.
Before video games appeared, Lierda, which he founded, has become a small local snake in the physical electronic toy industry.
Then he took advantage of the east wind of video games, and he was able to gain a firm foothold through Lierda's two game models.
It's just that he didn't expect that his several violations of high-level strategies would cause him to be directly kicked out.
And this time, he wants the king to return. He wants to really create a company that only belongs to him, like a company like Youxing Electronic Entertainment. The first thing to do is to recruit people, those game developers who used to develop junk games. became his target.
