Chapter 41 I believe in you
"I... am hated? am hated? Why am I hated?" Ritchie was in a strange state. He really couldn't understand that a player who was so serious and liked to play games would be hated by game manufacturers.
"What is the meaning of the existence of a game manufacturer?" Takahashi asked.
"Make a game?" Ritchie replied inconvincible.
Takahashi shook his head and said, "No."
“That’s…”
"It's for making money!" Takahashi patted Ricky's shoulder with both hands, "How many other companies in this world were born to make money?
From this perspective, are you still a player that game manufacturers like?
Think about what are the characteristics of veteran players?
Think about whether senior players are very picky, if there is a problem with the game production, it will be infinitely magnified.
To meet the efforts and costs required to satisfy the senior players, the cost required is several times that of ordinary players.
In other words, it is even more difficult to make money from you, and it is difficult to make money from you.
In this way, do you think about whether the game manufacturers will still like you?
There was no choice before, but now they find that they can make more people's money with a more relaxed pace. Do you think this is great?
Ricky?"
Takahashi's words brought Ricci into contemplation.
Takahashi's words are equivalent to nakedly deconstructing the relationship between most players and game manufacturers.
In Ritchie's mind, players and manufacturers are in love with each other, and their blood is thicker than water.
Isn’t it very harmonious when manufacturers make games and players play games?
However, when Takahashi explained, Ritchie found that it was all illusions, all illusions!
Why is the competition held?
Is it to make players happy?
No!
no!
It is to let more people buy games!
Do you treat players as a family when giving gifts?
No!
no!
I buy games and give gifts to other players because I want to make them feel that they will be the lucky one. If I buy games myself, I can get great gifts.
Ritchie's worldview collapses!
He sat dejectedly on the chair, his worldview was broken all over the ground. He wanted to pick up these broken worldviews from the ground little by little and piece them together little by little.
Takahashi actually doesn't want to say it so thoroughly, but if you don't say it, it will have a bigger blow to Ricci in the future.
The world of capital is ruthless.
The reason why it is affectionate is just to pursue profits.
Even if there were indeed some people or organizations who thought that making games would bring happiness to others and happiness to others.
but……
Even if they want to survive, they have to compromise on the market.
If this kind of compromise sounds good, it is probably called commercialization.
But to put it bluntly, it is betraying one's own soul.
The reason why Takahashi wanted to leave Wanhu was not the main reason to accompany Xiaoai to school, but rather that he wanted to escape from Wanhu, a system he established.
The so-called being in the world is involuntarily.
In the market, you can’t help yourself!
In order to survive, there are so many employees in Wanhu.
Can Takahashi make his favorite games based on his own preferences without caring about the market?
No!
cannot!
Perhaps, only by leaving such an environment can we create a game that truly complies with the hearts of a player.
Although this road is difficult, it is Takahashi's dream.
Ritchie slowly raised his head and asked, "John, do you really think this is the case in the video game industry?"
Takahashi nodded.
"There is no game company that makes games for players?"
"Yes. But they are either on the road to death or are already dead. Of course, from a long-term perspective, no one can live forever, and no company can live forever.
However, these companies will definitely die faster and more steadily.”
Takahashi replied.
"John! Then why are you making games? To make money? I'm really happy when I made games with you, Xiao Ai and Lisa!" Richie said, tears actually appeared in his eyes.
Although this game production team has not been together for a long time, it has not been established, there is no organization name or logo, but Ritchie really likes the atmosphere here...
Takahashi sighed and said, "Rickey! I said I was trying to make the game that players like, do you believe it? It's like a butcher saying that he actually likes pigs very much. Do you believe it?"
"Ah... for the sake of dreams, there will always be someone who sacrifices, no matter who it is." Takahashi said this and said, "A great man in China once said, 'For the sake of sacrifice, he dares to change the sun and the moon to a new sky'. I want to overturn the sky in the electronic game industry and create a brand new industry. Do you believe it? Do you think it is possible?"
Takahashi's expression was a bit bleak.
He really wanted to make it purely that players like to play games, but if they want to do this, what would the difficulty look like?
Ricky lowered his head and thought slowly.
The clock ticked and time passed by little by little.
The sun sets in the west and the moon climbs onto the branches.
After class, Xiao Ai drove home in a small car. When she saw Rich sitting in a chair and was in deep thought, she felt very strange. She asked Takahashi softly, "What's wrong with him?"
Takahashi comforted Xiao Ai, "It's okay, it's just that the worldview is broken, it's enough to wait until he sticks it."
"The worldview is broken!? This doesn't sound great. He won't commit suicide, right?" Xiao Ai asked Takahashi.
Xiao Ai's father, once a student at Dongda University, was depressed for a long time because of some things, and finally couldn't help but jumped off the building and committed suicide.
The core of this matter is that her father has broken the worldview. And her father has not stuck to this broken worldview.
Xiao Ai still remembers how her father looked when she was young, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried about Richie in front of her.
"Probably not..." Takahashi said.
He was also a little worried after hearing Xiao Ai's words. The world is so wonderful, the world is so big. There are so many things that have not been seen before, and there are so many games that have not been played. Will Ricky want to end himself?
Takahashi is not sure.
Perhaps, he would feel that if he sacrificed himself, the entire electronic gaming industry would become better?
You should know that although the United States is the most developed country in the world, the world's lighthouse and the city on the top of a mountain, there are still many strange organizations in the countryside.
There are really not one or two believers who sacrifice themselves for various reasons and want to achieve a non-spanning goal.
"John!"
Ricci made a sound at this time.
"I trust you."
