Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 497 The arcade market plummeted;
Thanks to the rapid deployment of the [Bright Pearl Project], the installed capacity of [Star Computer] has increased significantly.

The market share has gone directly from the original 93% to 99%, and there is not much time left for [Shenhui Computer]...

And the number of registrations of "Xingkong Software" has also risen rapidly.

You may not have had the chance to contact them before, but now that you have access to computers, no one can register a Fetion account. In the Internet age, people ask you what Fetion is, and you ask what Fetion is, which will make people look down on you.

Not only the number of registrations of Fetion accounts has increased sharply, but also the number of visits to games such as "My Homeland", "Jianghu Killer", and "Legend of Blood" has also increased rapidly, and the revenue has increased a lot.

This is just the beginning. When the Internet cafe model is fully matured and becomes a part of Chinese people's lives, [Starry Sky Technology] will become one of the most valuable companies in the world by then.

……

Many news media are reporting on [Bright Pearl Project], with mixed reviews.

[Thunder Group] Although it is strong, not all the media buy it. Many state-owned media, or some with a background in state-owned enterprises, have a relatively neutral attitude towards this. They will analyze the pros and cons from a rational perspective, and will not deliberately Save face for Tian Moyun.

As for the big V on the Internet, as well as many Internet companies operating portal websites, they all reported this matter in a tone of praise.

No one stood up and said that [Xingkong Technology] did something wrong.

It's very simple if you think about it carefully——

Once the Internet cafe model prevails, Internet companies like them will benefit the most.

In the past, traditional entity enterprises still looked down on the Internet, but in the near future, the status of the two will undergo earth-shaking changes.

Even if they know that the Internet cafe plan may not be all good, I am afraid no one will stand up and sing the opposite.

Besides, the domestic Internet companies are all behind [Xing Kong Technology] to make a living, who would make trouble with their own boss?
……

After Tian Moyun briefly understood the news, he asked Zhou Yunteng to keep an eye on it.

On the one hand, we must ensure the smooth progress of the [Bright Pearl Project], on the other hand, we must also beware of Wilson and others, who knows what unexpected moths they will do.

Then, Tian Moyun went to supervise the game development process.

but……

But Lu Wenbo came to the door: "Mr. Tian, ​​you have given me a big problem."

"what happened?"

Tian Moyun was puzzled.

"The [Bright Pearl] plan that you are working on has caused the revenue of [Thunder Game Hall] to drop by 60%. What should you do?"

Lu Wenbo said with a wry smile.

"Is it only down 60%?"

Tian Moyun was a little surprised: "It seems that the retention rate of [Thunder Game Hall] is not bad. I thought it would drop by 80%, or even 90%."

Lu Wenbo fell silent.

He should have thought of it a long time ago, how could such a shrewd person as Tian Moyun not know the impact of [Bright Pearl Project] on [Thunder Game Hall]?

"Go ahead and don't think too much about it."

Tian Moyun said casually: "Comfort the third-party manufacturers that you cooperate with and let them shift their focus to game development on consoles, handhelds, and computers. Oh, by the way, if you are interested, you can also try to make mobile games. potential market."

"This……"

Lu Wenbo was stunned: "Then what should we do about [Thunder Game Hall]? This is the group's most profitable project. If this continues, the market will inevitably be eaten away by Internet cafes. What should we do when there are so many chain stores?"

For two consecutive years, [Thunder Game Hall] has been the most profitable business of the group.

Even if [Little Squirrel Electric] opened up the eastern hemisphere market and helped Yun Yingying advance to the rich list... it still failed to surpass the terrifying income brought by [Thunder Game Hall].

Arcade games are the biggest player in the entire game market, and they are also the most persistent fat of those powerful manufacturers.

Although Lu Wenbo has no shares in the company, relying on this business, the commission he got is quite terrifying. Of course, he can't just watch the arcade market decline.

……

"Have you ever thought about a question?"

Tian Moyun was silent for a long time, and said softly: "What is the final form of game hardware? In the future, what is the market positioning of arcade machines?"

"have not thought."

Lu Wenbo shook his head.

He felt in his heart that the final form of game hardware should be video game consoles, handheld game consoles, arcade machines, plus at most a computer game, and the mobile game that Tian Moyun is researching...

In his view, computers and mobile phones have their own attributes. The former is mainly for office work, while the latter is mainly for communication. Even if it has the function of playing games, it is absolutely impossible to replace the status of game consoles.

Because for the attributes of the two products themselves, the game attribute is just an additional selling point, which is okay to pass the time, but it is still unrealistic to say that it is the main game machine.

"You haven't thought about it, but I have thought about it, and I can tell you the answer."

Tian Moyun looked at him, and said lightly: "The final form of game hardware is that consoles, computers, and mobile phones are divided into three parts. Maybe handhelds can also have some room for survival, but only arcades... have no future. [Bright Pearl Project] The emergence of it only hastened its demise."

"This……"

Lu Wenbo's heart skipped a beat.

"What is a game?"

Tian Moyun spread his hands: "For the vast majority of people, it is just a tool to pass the time, and it does not bring any value to life, career, or studies."

"Its existence is equivalent to carbonated drinks. Many people like to drink carbonated drinks, but if they don't drink them, can they do it? Of course they can."

"Games are entertainment, not necessity, and you need to understand that."

"Then let's go on—"

"Thinking about the problem from the perspective of serious players, they feel that games are irreplaceable, whether it is console games, handheld games or arcade games."

"You may also feel the same way, and think that things like computers and mobile phones have their own missions, and it is impossible to make achievements in the game industry."

"I can tell you frankly that this kind of thinking is a big mistake."

"Why do I think that the future mainstream game market must belong to computers and mobile phones?"

"the reason is simple."

"With the explosion of the Internet industry, there will be more and more content to attract users. TV dramas, movies, novels, forums such as Weibo, Tieba, and even Fetion group chats may be more interesting than games. In addition, There are also countless portals and social networking sites trying their best to win the attention of users..."

"There are also online games with social attributes such as "Jianghu Kill" and "Hot Blood Legend" that are hitting the market, attracting a large number of traditional game players every day."

"What do you think... where is the competitiveness of traditional games?"

"It is impossible to say that traditional games will disappear in the future... Of course, it is impossible, but it is still impossible to become a necessity in our life. When buying game hardware, everyone will think, I spend money on such a thing that is purely for playing games. Is it worth it?"

"But what about mobile phones and computers?"

"That's different, because it is a necessity for people to survive in society, and they don't mind playing games while communicating. This is the future of the game market."

"Back to the arcade—"

"The emergence of the Internet cafe model is a historical necessity. Even if I don't do it, the Wilson next door will do it. They even did it as early as March 3."

"[Thunder Game Hall] has no competitiveness in the face of the Internet cafe model. Except for a small number of high-end players, most of them will be pulled away by Internet cafes."

"What you have to do now is not to find a way to restore the market, but to appease third-party game manufacturers and let them make other games."

"Console, handheld, computer, mobile phone... can do it all."

"If they can adapt to the future, they may earn more than in the past. If they cannot adapt and are eliminated from the market, that is also their fate."

"As for [Thunder Game Hall]?"

"Go ahead with the business first, and I will find a way to clean up the mess later."
