Chapter 67 Continue to observe
Anyone has a reason to do anything.
It’s like eating. Some people go to eat because they are hungry, and some people want to eat delicious food. But there is no one who has a bloated stomach like an orange cat still eats Haisai.
Takahashi asked the Magic Bull why they wanted to play games. The Magic Bull thought for a while and the people really said, "Because they like it."
"That's right, it's because of my love." His eyes, who were a little confused just now, became serious in an instant. "I can't feel the joy of making games if I do other things. Seeing the code out line by line under my hands, watching the game take shape little by little, that sense of accomplishment is great and very good.
Even when I couldn't sleep at three o'clock in Leng Chen, I suddenly thought of a very interesting idea. I would immediately get up from the bed and record this idea.
I like to make games, and I like to make games too.”
"That is, shrinkage. When you play games, the main reason is not that you want to make money, but that you want to get a kind of spiritual satisfaction?" Takahashi confirmed.
The magic bull nodded and said, "Yes."
"Then can I say that even if you go to something else, you will not be hungry. You just lack a kind of love from the bottom of your heart? Will you feel like a walking corpse who has lost his soul?"
"Yes." The magic bull nodded.
"Well, then I can explain to you now why the employees of Wanhu look so energetic and uplifting. For some reasons, not long ago, about four years ago, most of the employees here could not eat casually.
Maybe you don't know that China is different from Britain, but like most countries in the world, it is a poor country.
There are many people in our country, and for the vast majority of people, it is already hard enough to fill their stomachs and survive.
And here, in ten thousand households, this demand has been met.
Moreover, they can also choose their favorite profession and what they like within the scope that tens of thousands of households can do.
It's like you see employees cleaning the streets, right?
Some of them have actually retired, and were even very important engineers before, but after retirement, they chose such a career to continue working.
They even developed some tools that can effectively improve cleaning efficiency.
That's right, it's those small sweeping equipment.
If they were anywhere else, even if they could make such a machine, no one would use it.
But here, someone uses it and he gains a sense of happiness.
This is just like when the People of New China was first founded many years ago, people who were almost slaves who farmed landlords and suddenly realized that they were human beings, and they could change the world and make their lives better day by day, and even satisfy their hobbies.
Under such circumstances, people naturally have a strong demand for building a country.
Why?
Because at that time, the people were the masters of the country.
Although I haven't done it yet, I think one day, all ten thousand households of employees can become the real owners of ten thousand households."
The Magic Bull listened to Takahashi's long speech, and even had a yearning in his eyes.
You should know that no one in this world will have a smooth life, and eight out of ten life will be unsatisfactory.
While he was creating the Bullfrog Studio and making the game, he actually felt a lot of unhappiness.
There are always some people who ask questions based on their ideas.
For example, publishers always want Bullfrog to make big money games rather than interesting games.
The game is just a commodity in them, not a medium for the author and player communication.
For example, the society’s lack of understanding of electronic games and some people who seem to be in the industry to create junk games to strengthen this prejudice.
Everyone has their own destiny, and the Magic Bull cannot emphasize that he is right.
Just like he thinks that the picture is not the most important thing, he will not do the picture.
Some things need to be adapted to constantly.
The electronic arts headquarters in Redwood City, San Francisco Bay Area, the United States is actually more in line with the world's perception of high-tech enterprises in terms of external forms.
However, the excessive pursuit of profits and even the behavior of "pastoralists" made him feel uncomfortable.
What is the behavior of "herdsmen"?
In ancient China, officials were often called Mushou.
It means that they are like shepherds to sheep to the people here.
Go wherever they are told, and do whatever they are told.
This is what some electronic game companies are doing now.
They don't care what kind of games the players want at all. They only care about what kind of games they make with low cost and then force these games onto the players.
What's even more terrifying is that this kind of behavior of disrespectful players has gradually become accustomed to players, and they even think that this is what electronic games should be like.
They even think that they don’t know what kind of games they like, and as long as they play games made by big factories, there will be no problem.
The big companies are also trying to achieve monopoly through various means and attempting to kill all small and medium-sized electronic game production companies.
A more obvious feature is that the level of the picture is getting higher and higher.
In fact, compared to other things, such as gameplay, improving the picture is the easiest thing.
You don’t have to be creative, don’t have inspiration, you just need to have money.
If you have money, you can stack elements one by one and finally create a beautiful picture.
Then, when promoting, you will focus on the promotional screen and ignore other things.
Most of the time, players buy these beautifully packaged games home, look at the exquisite pictures on it, and play the game content like smell and chew wax. Their expectations for electronic games are actually decreasing.
Most of them would only think that video games are like this.
However, those really fun and interesting low-cost games cannot be sold in the end because they have no promotional channels and no good-looking pictures.
Magic Bull wanted Bullfrog to join a big publisher, either because of anything else, or because he felt that Bullfrog's game needed more publicity.
However, the size of the bullfrog is far from enough to complete the publicity.
However, how to find a suitable franchise is another problem.
