The domestic game market had always been very popular, and the number of players was huge.
In the 1990s, when there weren't many television shows, the Swordsman's Romance produced by West Mountain Residence could sell nearly 100,000 copies. The market was huge.
However, after more than ten years of development in the domestic game market, it was not until 2020 that a Triple-A masterpiece that could truly go overseas appeared. Why was that?
It was all because of the few gaming giants that had always been monopolizing the game.
When Goose Factory saw a popular game or a game company with potential, they would either buy it or make a similar game. They would rely on their huge user base to squeeze out the original game company.
However, they had acquired a game company with potential and did not operate it well. After taking over, the way they operated it was really to make money.
He had been operating the game until it died.
The most famous example was the Fighting God.
This well-received domestic netizen game used the story of Dark Journey to the West as the background and was highly regarded by everyone. However, after Goose Factory took over, in order to earn money, they operated the game until death.
The pig farm was not any better. The goose factory would first invest in a game after it took a fancy to it. The pig farm was amazing. It was directly poaching people.
West Mountain Residence was the best example. They had taken a fancy to the Sword Net 3 project and poached most of the main creative team.
There were many such examples.
This group of gaming giants had turned the domestic gaming market into a pay-to-win market, making everyone feel that if they didn't spend millions, they wouldn't be able to play online games.
What should have brought happiness to the players had been turned into a blood-sucking weapon by the capital operation.
Even in 2020, when the domestic game " Ghost Valley " reached the top of Steam, the game accelerator under the Goose Factory would publicly sell the cracked version of " Ghost Valley ".
In order to support the development of domestically developed games, the professional cracking forums in the country stated that they would never crack domestic masterpieces.
But the goose factory insisted on doing so.
Did the goose factory lack that few yuan?
It was so obvious. How could it be lacking?
They wanted to find ways to suppress other companies and stabilize their position in the game industry. They did not want other game companies to develop.
They also didn't want the gaming market that they had cultivated for more than ten years to be affected.
Buyout games became popular, and players fell in love with such games. The paywall online games they operated were not as profitable.
Damn, the ugliness of capital was really beyond imagination.
Therefore, Guo Weiwei said that Lu Yuan would invest in them and overturn the current Sword Net 3 project. This was equivalent to challenging Pig Farm. After all, Pig Farm had taken a fancy to Sword Net 3 project.
Lu Yuan didn't mind at all. He wanted to make a game. The first step was to reform the game market in this era where the game market hadn't completely stabilized.
Lu Yuan said," It's fine for us to make money by making games, but we have to be conscientious. The Sword Net 3 that we're working with will not only subvert the players 'perception, but it will also subvert the rules of the domestic online game market. Who said that we can't play games without spending money? Who said that games are things that cheat people of their money? I want to go against the pig farm head-on and fight against the foul atmosphere of spending money. This kind of atmosphere is unacceptable.”
Sword Net 3 was an online game that charged a fee.
They didn't sell items or attributes. Other than earning money by top-up their cards, the only profit points were the clothes and hair in the mall.
This kind of pay-to-play game wasn't very popular in the current gaming market.
Most of the online games on the market were free to play, but after playing, you would realize that if you didn't charge money, you wouldn't even be able to defeat monsters.
Pig Farm was even more impressive. Not only did he charge for points, but he also sold attributes and props.
Just like Fantasy Westward Journey, not only did you have to charge points, but you also had to buy items to strengthen your equipment.
It was a bottomless pit.
That was why sometimes, people said that games were a scam.
In fact, this was not the problem of the game itself. It was all the problem of the capital operation behind the game.
Guo Weiwei looked at the 21-year-old young man in surprise and sighed."CEO Lu, when I was your age, I was already quite licentious. After I met you, I realized that I was only f * cking licentious at that time.”
Lu Yuan had always been subverting his understanding.
Guo Weiwei was amazed by his talent, ability, vision, and business planning.
At this moment, he felt that if a genius had an appearance, it would definitely not be him, but someone like Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan smiled and said," President Guo, then our cooperation has been decided. Go back and discuss it with Uncle Qiu and President Qiu. Then, ask President Lei Jun. If there are no problems, the cooperation between our two families can begin from now on."”
Guo Weiwei was not the only one who had the final say in West Mountain Residence. He was only the person in charge of Sword Net 3.
The one who really had the final say was still Kingsoft Technology. It was Lei Jun!
