Chapter 76: Unwilling to leave for a long time

"Player Heart" is determined, and of course those electronic game manufacturers are not happy.

However, when "Player Heart" rejected, some people also saw business opportunities.

As a result, a large number of electronic game magazines appeared wildly in Japan like mushrooms after a rain.

These game magazines may not have the content, or they may be rough in paper, and they don’t even care whether anyone can read it or not.

What they care about is the recharge money of game manufacturers that have been rejected by Player Heart.

They accept recharges and then evaluate the game according to the level of recharges. A magazine that should serve the players has become an advertising brochure.

So, a chaotic era entered.

After a while, those magazines with no skills at all gradually began to withdraw from the market.

Because although players are sometimes blind, they are not stupid.

You new magazines and junk game manufacturers treat us as kids. Why can’t we vote with our feet? We don’t buy your magazines at all and send you out of the market.

However, some of these magazines remained. These magazines did not accept recharges, but mastered the art of language.

Just like there is a car media person named Yan in China. His programs are always recharged, but he can use the art of language and please the financial owners and auto companies without making the audience disgusted too much. In some cases, some novices will even be moved by the "sincerity" of this media person.

It is also in this melee that "Player Heart", which does not only care about the immediate interests, has become the first choice for most Japanese players.

However, although the popularity of electronic games in Japan is getting higher and higher, I wish every ten Japanese people had a red and white machine.

But in fact, most people follow the trend when buying red and white machines. The choice of games is that of those classic games. They will not always pay attention to new games and buy them.

Therefore, the sales volume of "Player Heart" magazine is at most 300,000 sets.

And then, why did the sales of "Player Heart" start to decline?

Because Japan's economy is beginning to decline, it is basically impossible to maintain its original wage level, and even to do all your efforts to avoid losing your job.

At this time, although there is still a need for entertainment, there are new choices for the choice of games.

In the past, whether to choose a game was to see if the game was fun or not and how long it could be played.

Now, this game is enough as long as it can relax me, and it is best not to make me too tired. If it is too difficult, I don’t want to play it very much.

Therefore, the quality of the game, the difficulty of the game, and the degree of game strategy requirements have been reduced to varying degrees.

In other words, if players in the past pay more attention to cost-effectiveness, players now pay more attention to relaxation.

Game manufacturers have also discovered this problem, and the difficulty of new games is constantly decreasing. The reduced difficulty can even allow a dog to come over and chew the handle to pass the level. At this time, the strategy has no meaning to exist.

The players generally have reduced their demand for fun games, which has also reduced their demand for ratings.

How could they, even when they started to feel troublesome to play games, be as conscientious as before, have been buying "Player Heart" one after another?

Therefore, not only did the sales of "Player Heart" begin to shrink, but all the sales of electronic games magazines have begun to lose weight.

Even, because of the quality of "Player Heart", the one with the least weight.

When Takahashi returns to Japan, it is necessary to decide the direction of "Takahashi's Party" and "Player Heart".

Where is the road? This is where every game media person pays attention to.

After Takahashi arrived in Japan, he did not rush to go to the editorial department or other places to have a meeting, but began a journey of walking around the streets.

Although Japan's electronic game market has shrunk a little, its size is still huge.

The electrical appliance streets in Akihabara area have completely become the kingdom of electronic games and animation.

Almost all games that can be played in Japan are available here.

Even because there are many players here, this place has become an online holy place similar to "Pokemon" that requires online games.

On the bench next to the street and under the shade of trees around the flower beds, countless players of all sizes gather here to exchange pets in the game and exchange life experiences outside the game.

People like Takahashi who don’t wear very much games and don’t carry game consoles are actually a bit out of place here, but not many people pay attention to it.

After all, the pace of big cities is so fast that countless strangers pass by you every day. How can you care about what everyone passes by?

However, suddenly, a player leaning on the back of a bench with a game console inadvertently glanced at Takahashi, quickly straightened his body and stood up.

He walked to Takahashi with his hands tremblingly, and said excitedly, "You... are Takahashi?"

Although Takahashi knew he was recognized, he was still very surprised because he had not appeared in public for a long time.

He even felt that perhaps he had been forgotten long ago, and the young players would not know who they were.

Now, he has changed a lot from the one he was active in the media line more than ten years ago, both in his outfit and temperament, so he is not fully armed like before.

He felt that he might be recognized, but he did not expect that he would be recognized as soon as he arrived at the first place.

"I am." Takahashi said with a subtle smile.

"You! Do you still remember me? I! I have participated in your competition!" said the man with a fat body and holding a game console.

"In 1986, I also won the ranking in the Tokyo Metropolitan District competition. You won the prize with your own hands!" The fat player rubbed his sweaty palm on his pants and stretched out and wanted to shake hands with Takahashi.

Takahashi's hand was held with him, listening to the player keep talking about his gaming experience over the years.

Gradually, more people recognized Takahashi and surrounded Takahashi.

Not long after, the inspectors came over and wanted to evacuate these people who affected normal traffic.

You know, the Akihabara generation is very crowded. It was transformed into a pedestrian street many years ago, and cars cannot enter.

But even so, it's still crowded here.

When they heard Takahashi appear here, even if the police were evacuated and even if they could not hear anything on the periphery, they were still unwilling to leave.

Because Takahashi represents the memory of a generation of Japanese players and also represents an era of Japanese electronic games.
