Rebirth of the big era of online games

Chapter 397 "My" Game Trilogy
When Fang Jie launched "My War", he originally wanted to slap his face with word of mouth, but he was slapped in the face instead and received a lot of scolding, which even he himself did not expect.

From a certain point of view, those domestic experts and professors are really right this time.

The game "War of Mine" has indeed been played by Chinese players as an anti-human game...

The reason is that most Chinese players just regard this game as a game. The purpose of the game is only to pass the level, and the purpose is very strong, so the so-called sense of moral guilt does not exist or is very small.

Therefore, the Chinese players who cleared the level for the sake of clearing the level played the game as a means. In order to survive, no matter so much, even some brain-dead players were still clamoring and showing off on the Internet, saying that they only had one day to pass the level. .

If you can clear the game in one day, you obviously do all kinds of evil in it, and you don't realize the connotation and depth of the game at all.

This is not due to the low quality of Chinese players, but due to various objective reasons.

To put it mildly, the current Chinese players are new to computers and the Internet, and their gaming mentality is still at a relatively low level. Online games generally focus on leveling up monsters and fighting against others for invincibility, while stand-alone games try to find a way to clear the level as soon as possible. , and the plot dialogue is generally skipped directly, or completely ignored.

On a larger scale, in fact, this is poor people with short ambitions.

Because playing games requires a lot of time and money costs, for Chinese players, the Internet fee alone is a huge expense.

At present, the Chinese people are not rich, and the players are basically young people under the age of 30, even minors. Not only do they have no money, they also have no freedom in time, and they are also surrounded by double supervision from teachers and parents, so everyone subconsciously They pursue game efficiency very much, and seldom care about these "irrelevant" contents.

This is also the reason why kimchi games like "Legend" are not popular in South Korea, but become popular in China, because people who are not in the country of kimchi games either have no patience to play, or they are abandoned in a short period of time. The dissatisfaction is actually caused by the players' different game mentality and social environment background.

If the game "War of Mine" is released 20 years later, when people in the country become richer and e-sports has formed an industry and even become an Olympic event, the current situation will not occur.

To put it a little bit bigger, China has not fought a war for decades, and the country has always been pursuing a peaceful rise. Therefore, the younger generation of Chinese people has not experienced war, and they are not like foreigners, especially the people of Citigroup. The country has a strong anti-war appeal, so Chinese players will naturally not have too painful an understanding of this game.

For a long time, Fang Jie has never dared to be too advanced in making games, usually only half a step ahead, fearing that the game concept is too advanced, which will lead to dissatisfaction.

As a result, the horse stumbled this time, a bit negligent, and stumbled a little bit, which gave the opponents a reason to attack the boiling group. Although there are many internal objective reasons for this, the facts cannot be denied. It's true that the Chinese people have played it a bit sour, which violates the original intention of the game and brings bad influence.

Therefore, the game "War of Mine" has only been on the market for a month. After being notified by the relevant departments, Fang Jie quietly removed it from the shelves, and the boiling game platform is no longer open to domestic players for download.

For this reason, Boiling Games also publicly published a statement or letter of apology, expressing regret for the removal of the game and humbly accepting criticism from all walks of life.

But the game is still business as usual abroad.

Whether the game is anti-humanity or anti-war, anyone with a discerning eye can see it. In foreign countries, it is not what the conservatives say. Foreigners have rave reviews for this game, and there is a tendency to praise it on the altar , which is in stark contrast to the domestic situation.

Many foreign media even traveled all the way to Huaguo to interview Fang Jie, the main strategy of this game and the richest man in Huaguo.

Of course, there is also a layer of meaning in it that "you Hua Guo firmly opposes, we must firmly support" in it, a little bit of a desire to be rhythmic.

However, Fang Jie's first sentence made the other party a little ashamed: "You ask the source of the idea of ​​this game? Huh? Of course it has nothing to do with our Huaguo. Is this not obvious? The idea came from the early 90s, your European One war, the famous Siege of Sarajevo."

"I don't know how this war happened. I don't want to comment on what is right and what is wrong. I only talk about some things related to the game."

"In this siege, the attackers besieged Sarajevo for 46 months, which corresponds to the 46 days in the game, plus the two days of the game's opening war and ending war, a total of 48 days. As long as the player can Survive for 48 days without dying and the war will end and the game will be over."

"The reason why the game sets that players cannot go out during the day is also in line with the real situation."

"Sarajevo is a city surrounded by mountains. From the surrounding mountains, you can clearly see almost the whole of the city. I heard that during the war, the mountains are guarded by snipers every day. As long as you see people walking or finding people in the city There will be bullets flying from the mountains. Therefore, civilians in the city can only go out to collect supplies at night when snipers cannot attack, and try to survive."

"The original intention of making the game is naturally to fight against the war. Although the content may make players feel a little uncomfortable, if you understand that period of history, you should know that in reality it was a 46-month siege, not 46 days. I believe The real situation is far more cruel than the game."

"When the players feel extremely painful for living these dozens of days, they may wish to think about the civilians in that real war. Compared with those civilians, the players should feel extremely happy and fortunate, maybe It won't be too uncomfortable..."

When foreigners learned that "War of Mine" was adapted from real events in history, the status of this game in their minds was even higher, and the sense of substitution during the game was even stronger.

You must know that since 2001, these western developed countries in the world have fallen into troubled times. Especially this year, there have been bombing attacks in their countries every month, so that the people's anti-war calls have intensified. Citigroup Not long ago, large-scale anti-war demonstrations were also held.

Against such an international social background, the launch of the game "War of Mine" can be said to be at the right time. It is very in line with the political correctness of the current Western countries. It has won the strong support of countless democrats or parties, or it has become a tool of their struggle.

Therefore, the explosion of the game overseas is not only caused by the players’ empathy when playing the game, but also by some political forces behind the scenes. If the company that made this game is not a Huaguo company, and its game planner is not from Huaguo, I am afraid that I can really get one back. Nobel Peace Prize.

It is definitely impossible to win an award in the end, but it is still no problem to get a symbolic nomination.

Nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize are accepted from September to January 9 of the following year, and the results are announced in October of the following year. The chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee awards the award, and the King of Norway supervises the ceremony, which is different from other Nobel Prizes.

And Norway, one of the five Nordic countries, likes to pay attention to the sanctimonious set, and games with this theme are very suitable for their taste.

Moreover, the nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize are not like the Oscar nominations. There are only a few places. When there are many, hundreds of nominations are possible. Therefore, there are not many nominations like this kind of Chinese cabbage. , less of him is a lot, not a very rare thing.

However, when the news spread to China, the conservatives who had scolded Fang Jie and the Boiling Group before were all speechless and stupefied, feeling a burning pain on their faces.

Isn't that the case these days, even if you don't win an award, just get a nomination, you can be regarded as the glory of the Nobel Prize. Jin, when he came back, his status and reputation immediately changed.

Fang Jie is like this now. The group of people who scolded him the most fiercely before have all suffered backlash and become the target of public criticism.

It is obviously an anti-war game, and it is recognized internationally, so it was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Why did you accuse it of being an anti-human game?
You are talking nonsense!

Nobel Peace Prize!

The leader is so powerful that he has gone abroad!

For a while, Fang Jie and Boiling Group, whose reputation had been greatly affected, suddenly changed into objects of admiration and praise, thinking that they had given Hua Guo a face.

Especially the parents of the students who were brought into the rhythm before, their attitudes have changed 180 degrees at this moment, and their views on the game have somewhat changed in their hearts.

It turns out that a game is not necessarily useless, it can also be a work of art with educational significance and wide international influence.

It's hard to say anything else, but at least Fang Jie and his boiling game, the game produced is still trustworthy and can be tried and accepted.

For example, the game "My World",
All in all, Fang Jie played the wrong game this time, pushing an unsuitable game, but the final result was a bit of a surprise.

However, although public opinion has changed, "War of Mine" has not resumed.

Fang Jie still has a clear understanding of the dissatisfaction of this game in China. Given the urgency of Chinese players, some things should not be taken for granted. We must adapt to the actual situation and local conditions, otherwise it will really teach children badly.

Fortunately, the second word-of-mouth stand-alone game planned this year does not have such a problem at all.

The game was launched in July, only one month later than "War of Mine", and the name of the game is "My Origin".

You can tell from the game name that the core content of the game "My Origin" is a popular science game about the evolution of origin.

If it is divided by game category, it is actually a simulator game.

Simulator games were very popular in the previous life, but now, "My Origin" is considered to be the first game in the world, at least in China. Its theme and genre are quite novel, which makes players feel very novel.

This game simulates the entire evolution process of life on the earth from scratch, as well as the entire development process of human social civilization. It has a strong scientific nature and involves biology, chemistry, history, technology and many other knowledge.

For example, the evolution process of life exists in the form of a technology tree. It starts with inanimate chemical substances, and then gradually evolves into organic matter, amino acids, proteins, prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells, marine organisms, jellyfish... and then gradually evolves to Quadrupeds, mammals, apes, humans, among which there are countless branches of the technology tree.

Then, starting from human beings, it further developed from the Stone Age and the Bronze Age to the modern information age, and then evolved to the emerging era in the future, and finally, with the joint support of other technologies, it will irreversibly illuminate the "Singularity Age", so that The entire evolution returns to zero, forming a cosmic reincarnation.

Players need to accumulate technology points, light up and continuously upgrade these categories on the technology tree, speed up the output and evolution of technology points, and finally complete the reincarnation of life in the universe from scratch, and then from existence to non-existence.

Its core gameplay is to accumulate technology points and upgrade the technology tree, and the core meaning of the game is actually to understand the origin and annihilation of life. The fun of the game is mainly reflected in the fun of popular science.

Fang Jie originally thought that "My World", "My War" and "My Origin", as a trilogy of "My Series" games, try to change the Chinese people's views on games together.

Although the online survival mode of "My World" has no lower limit, the stand-alone mode is actually a puzzle game, which can be used to develop children's creativity, imagination, space power, memory, calculation power, and logic. Power and so on.

"War of Mine" is actually a game that promotes truth, goodness and beauty, and opposes war.

And "My Origin" is a popular science education game aimed at improving children's understanding of natural science, social science and technical science.

The three games are actually educational, but by accident, in the end only the simulator game "My Origin" didn't make any fuss, and was quickly recognized and accepted by parents, and even the relevant The department recommends it as an extracurricular popular game for primary and secondary schools.

Several years later, "Minecraft" finally received the same treatment, only "War of Mine", although it was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize and its status in the history of games is high enough, it is still listed as taboo The game, even Fang Jie himself, is unwilling to reopen this game to Chinese players.

Since the trilogy plan was disrupted, Fang Jie had to further update and increase the game "My Origin", making it a huge simulator about various origin systems.

The original version of "My Origin" only simulated the origin and development of animal species and human civilization. In the second edition, a detailed copy of the origin was made for the two technological civilization nodes of the main technology tree.

As we all know, little ones, the boys' favorite toys when they were young were cars and dinosaurs, and the girls liked dolls and kitchen utensils.

Therefore, "My Origin 2.0" specifically simulates the evolution of dinosaur creatures and plants in detail. Through this version, children and players can learn about all dinosaur types, habits and other information in the dinosaur era, and can also learn to master very Detailed plants and the ingredients they produce can light up the corresponding recipe technology tree to cook delicious food illustrations.

And in "My Origin 3.0", the game has further made a major update, adding a universe simulator, players start from a sun to simulate the entire solar system, including all planets, satellites, asteroids, comets, and then further Expand to the Milky Way, extragalactic galaxies, and the entire universe.

When the 4.0 version was released, the game separately carried out a systematic simulation of the construction of planetary bases on Mercury and Mars.

All in all, "My Origin" is constantly updated and upgraded in this way, almost every six months, and has been updated infinitely since version 1.0. As a result, this game has also become an important science game or an important popular science game for children in Huaguo when they were young. reading material.

Many years later, whenever the game is updated, many people who have graduated from work or started a family will often bring their children together to experience the updated content of this game that has accompanied them since childhood, because the game has almost become a reality. part of their lives.

It is precisely because of this that the game "My Origin" was later dubbed the "Encyclopedia of Games" by many people.

And this is the educational significance of the game, which finally made Fang Jie's unremitting efforts not in vain.

Of course, this is a story.

The actual situation at the moment is that "My Origin", which was launched in July, is actually a bit of a rush to the shelves. After all, "War of Mine" is self-banned, and only the semi-finished version 7 of "My Origin" can be quickly released. Go up.

But the real big event in July is not that "War of Mine" was scolded to be taken off the shelves, nor was "My Origin" rushed to the market, and it had nothing to do with the gains and losses of "My Game Trilogy".

Instead, the Hongmeng system jointly developed by Huawei, Boiling Software and Boiling Technology, and the Huawei smartphone equipped with the Hongmeng system, developed and produced by itself, are officially on sale!
So in fact, Fang Jie had only been scolded for a month before. By July, the hot news had shifted to Huawei, followed by the opening of the Athens Olympics. The negative public opinion about Fang Jie could only rank third.

The hot news of the Athens Olympics lasted for a month. Once the Olympics ended, all Chinese people focused their attention on Huawei's Hongmeng system and 3G smartphones.

It's nothing more than Huawei developing its own smartphone, but it also develops its own mobile operating system, which has caused different opinions in the industry, and most people are not optimistic about it.

At present, the Symbian system is still the ruling dynasty. Even though Huawei and Boiling have invested hundreds of billions of funds in related research and development, the ecological environment they live in is far worse than the Saipan system.

At least Huawei has made such a big move, but there is no reaction or feedback from the international community, and even relevant news has not been spread abroad. No one thinks that Huawei can overthrow the rule of Nokia and Motorola, and no one believes in Huaguo. Mobile communications already have such technological innovations.

However, Huawei is not fighting an unprepared battle. Before the launch of mobile phones and operating systems, Huawei has already prepared for a rainy day. It has reached production cooperation agreements with dozens of domestic software and hardware manufacturers. A large stock of chips was ordered.

It is not that the country has not made a move. China Telecom and China Mobile have too big and eye-catching cards, and it is not easy to tear faces with Nokia for the time being. However, China Unicom has cooperated with Huawei and adopted Qualcomm's 3G technology CDMA network.

This is called spreading the net widely, and this is a national strategic consideration, because China Unicom did not cooperate with Qualcomm just now, but as early as the beginning of its separation from China Telecom, in 2002, China Unicom had already cooperated with Qualcomm to launch the national CDMA The network shows the foresight at the national level.

Now that Huawei is engaged in 3G smartphones, it happens to fall asleep and meet the pillow. Although it is only China Unicom, which is relatively low among the three major telecom service providers, it is better than nothing. At least things are feasible and basic conditions are met.

Boiling Group has also done a lot of things here. In addition to Fang Jie himself who provided more than 400 billion real money, Boiling Software also participated in the development of mobile phone software equipped with various systems in the Hongmeng system application ecology.

Boiling Games has developed 5 classic mobile phone games in line with the current situation. Small studios and small companies on the Boiling Engine open source platform have also produced many application software including games according to the platform tasks.

Boiling Business, Boiling Internet Cafe, Boiling Network Management, and Boiling Navigation have carried out omni-channel promotion for the launch of Huawei mobile phones.

Not to mention Boiling Technology, the main production line of mobile phone accessories is there, including related chip research and development, and they are all involved.

Although this "they" may refer more to the technicians dispatched by Huawei, there is no credit for Boiling here, but also hard work, not to mention that Fang Jie's cash of more than 400 billion in NASDAQ is all dumped. Gave boiling technology.

Anyway, Fang Jie's principle is that if he is not good at technology, he just takes money. He is not good at anything else, and he has a way of making money. In this life, in order to get domestic smart phones, chips and operating systems, he will do whatever it takes!
