Global monopoly of technology

After the press conference was over, the trial lobby prepared next door quickly became overcrowded.

This time, if you want to try the first experience, you don’t have to wait in line. There is a number picking device at the entrance. Players only need to get the serial number and they don’t need to wait in line. They can go around and hear the smart broadcast in the lobby. Just check in.

There are 100 devices in the trial lobby to provide trial play. Each trial time is 15 minutes. If you still want to play after the time is up, just go to get the number again. The trial lobby will be open to players until 18:00 today. .

In addition to a large number of players, various media reporters also came to the demo hall to shoot.

At this moment, the atmosphere of the game in the entire lobby is extremely hot, and the players are all very happy. The games currently available for trial experience include "The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings", "Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood", "GTA: Merry Tony" Part of the content of the five masterpieces: "Song of", "Minecraft", and "Call of Duty: Black Ops" are open to players in advance.

Only after experiencing it in person, players realized the power of this next-generation host. The leap in picture quality brought by 4K rendering technology is the most intuitive visual impact for every player.

Human beings are creatures that love the new and dislike the old. After using better things, the things that used to be good will also subconsciously produce resistance. If you want to use them again, there is always a psychologically uncomfortable feeling.

Especially for game enthusiasts, this effect is to be magnified ten times.

With the closing of the trial hall on the same day, all players reluctantly left the press conference. It was very uncomfortable to think of waiting for nearly three months before the ACC console could be released.

On the second day, the domestic version of Bluestar video and the international version of BV video were full of videos from the trial lobby during the Cologne conference. Some were shot by game media, and some were shot by players using Azure-3.

The discussion on the Reddit forum is also high all the way, and the keyword ACC is also rising all the way on Google search terms. Its popularity is so high that almost the entire game industry is discussing it.

Suddenly, the phrase "I can't buy an ACC console, I'm dying" quickly spread among the console players and became a new stalk of overseas players.

Foreigners are also very good at playing tricks, just like the gifs that can suck your wallet and fly up as long as they are stared at by G's smile.

In the past five years, the Steam platform under the V agency has grown up. After all, it has been raised as a son by the Bluestar Technology Group for many years. Various social portals have taken off. It is difficult for the Steam platform not to take off.

Luo Sheng’s promise to G Fat back then is getting closer and closer, and that is to say, he hopes that Steam players can spread all over the world, and even Antarctica is no exception.

The major player communities in the country are also hotly discussing, but the focus of the discussion is around the ACC host not being sold in Greater China.

"Why is this?"

"Nima, as a product launched by a domestic company, the ACC console cannot be sold on the mainland, which is really funny."

"The previous media brag about the lifting of the ban on game console sales are really a pit!"

"Too heartbreaking."

"You really don't understand the great intentions of the archbishop. This is to save money for the majority of mainland players. Let's see on piracy... []"

"To be reasonable, I was a bit surprised to hear such news, but it is reasonable, not to mention the Taiyang Plus version host for 699 dollars and about 4767 yuan. Would you like to buy a standard version for 299 dollars or more than 2,000 yuan. ACC console? And the games inside, 3A masterpiece, buy a game for 60 dollars and about 409 yuan?"

"Yes, there are so many free games on the PC side. Even if there is no problem with the ban on game consoles, it is estimated that the archbishop will be cautious in exploring the mainland market, and maybe even the channel cost investment will not be recovered."

"Does domestic console games have no future?"

"Remove the'is it' and'?', there is no future, even if there is a future, it is almost impossible to see the future. At what time, I dare to say that 99% of the players in the country will definitely not be willing to spend more than 400 yuan to buy a single machine Games, even if you can connect to the Internet."

"Agree, let's fix the piracy environment first, just search a few websites to download pirated stand-alone games, who would talk about so much'wrong' money, right?"

"The fairy sword must stand up~~ I must buy it next time... []"

"It can only be said that the water inside is too deep, even the archbishop dare not step in easily."

...

Suddenly, public opinion in the mainland game industry, whether it is players or game media, are discussing the domestic stand-alone game and console market environment. Some media even put out a headline claiming that domestic stand-alone games are dead.

This time, the ACC console is not for sale in the Greater China region, but is for sale globally. Although everyone understands, it cannot be released in the Mainland because the game console ban is lifted.

However, the occurrence of such a thing has indeed seriously hit the hearts of a group of practitioners who insist on developing domestic stand-alone games, and their pessimism has become more and more obvious in them.

How much they hope that Luo Sheng can reshape the entire industry in the field of e-sports, and turn the tide in the domestic stand-alone game industry. They did not expect the result to be like this. It is not pessimistic but abnormal.

In fact, Luo Sheng also thought, but even if he is the richest man in the world, he is not a omnipotent existence, and it is impossible to solve all problems on his own.

To reverse the habit of free-to-play games among domestic players and to purify the online piracy environment is beyond what he should do as an entrepreneur. This is what the country should do.

Even if it is done, it is a very laborious and basically unthankful thing.

When I first entered the e-sports industry and reshaped this industry, I was often sprayed, especially in the eyes of parents, leaving a very bad impression. This time I turned over on the iP tablet.

Luo Sheng didn't want to do it again, otherwise he would have to be pushed to the cusp of public opinion, although he could afford it, it was no big deal.

But no one wants the news to report their own news full of negative public opinion.

Well, these can be ignored. If you take it, you can take it, then?The results of it?

The result must be that the cost invested in it cannot be recovered. ACC consoles will certainly not be able to sell a few units, and a few sets of 3A-level game masterpieces cannot be sold. Third-party developers are not even willing to invest a little cost to do localization work because they also Abandoned the Greater China market.

Moreover, the attitude of the top international manufacturers towards the Greater China market is generally to learn from Microsoft, just like the Windows operating system with one eye and one eye closed, allowing piracy to ramp up in the Greater China market.

This also has certain benefits, but it takes too long to receive such benefits. Many companies wait and die. Only strong and top third-party game developers can play this way.

The advantage is that time flies by ten years, twenty years later, it is possible to make a fortune with feelings.

After all, although the game is pirated, it has accompanied a generation of players to grow up. The host group of game players in the mainland should not be underestimated. In the future, I may be moved to make up for a owed ticket.

It's just that this kind of risk is too big, and there is a high probability that the company has not waited until the company has died.

After all, there is only one "Polish idiot" in this world.
