Chapter 277 The Multifaceted Influence of Doom
The release of Doom has caused some anomalies in the US side of the market.

Of course this anomaly is a good thing for video games.

More and more people who previously had little interest in video games are starting to play them.

I have to say that the United States really has a deep gun complex.

No.1 said that shooting games naturally have certain advantages in this country.

The appearance of Doom Warrior immediately became the darling of the US market.

Originally due to the sales of cheap game consoles FC, the sales of SFC began to weaken, and soon after the release of Doom, the sales quickly rose again, and it came back to the point where it was close to being out of stock.

This is not enough.

The proportion of personal PCs per capita in the United States is very high, and they are naturally a huge group of potential customers.

When Doom was released on PC, it was greeted by countless players who were very interested in Doom.

And these PC gamers are crazy enough to play Doom around the clock, almost tirelessly.

Some have even gotten to the point where they start to affect their lives slightly.

However, Zhu Youxing had already expected this.

In its original world, Doom was equally popular when it was released.

This is just history repeating itself.

This is very good news for Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

Doom's first week of sales alone has quickly added hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue to Takeyusei, which is truly terrifying.

200 million, the price of a game has reached 69 knives, excluding the physical cost, the profit in the first week has reached close to 7000 million US dollars.

In such a popular state, Doom is spreading like a virus.

'Hey, have you heard of Doom?Is that the shooting game? '

'what?Have not heard?That's right, I'll give you a good recommendation. This is a super cool game. If you don't play, you're not a real man! '

There are many such remarks on the Internet. Although this kind of remarks is somewhat offensive, its influence is also very amazing.

With this viral spread, Doom's first week of sales is not over, and it continues to sell at a frantic rate.

The sales volume in the second week was also maintained at the level of 200 million.

In two weeks, the profit exceeded [-] million US dollars, which is very terrifying.

Of course, the most terrifying thing is the impact of Doom Warrior on the thinking of Americans.

More and more people are starting to be unable to live normally because of Doom.

This is not an exaggeration at all, but some people are so addicted to it that they forget to eat and forget to work.

What's more, some companies even play Doom from bosses to employees.

Their ongoing work projects are therefore brought to a standstill.

That's the horror of Doom.

Affect life.

In some U.S. states, officials also appear to be aware of this.

Of course, they did not discover this on their own initiative, but they themselves fell into it, which indirectly led to problems in their government affairs.

And some of the civil servants under their command would sometimes make mistakes when reporting their work information, and would enter some of the nouns in Doom into their work documents, which would affect the judgment of others.

"Governor, you should look at this."

In the governor's office of a certain state in the United States, the assistant walked in with a document with a solemn expression.

As soon as he entered the office, he heard the familiar sound of gunfire coming from the governor's office.

But the sound came to an abrupt end.

"Huh? Why didn't you knock on the door? Forget it, what's the matter? I'm a little busy now, so hurry up and finish."

The assistant was dumbfounded.

He seemed to realize what the governor was doing just now.

The governor was playing Doom just now.

And what he wants to report is also related to Doom.

At this time he hesitated.

However, he still mustered the courage to step forward and handed over his statistics to the governor.

"Governor, here's the data I recently looked into, a video game product is affecting us."

"Electronic games?"

The governor is very sensitive to this title now, and he is also a little guilty, because he was also playing Doom just now.

He seriously opened the document submitted by the assistant and read it carefully.

Then, his expression also became solemn.

In the document, the influence of the Doom game in recent times is recorded in detail.

The most significant one is that many people are affected by their addiction to life, work and study.

This has a huge impact on the United States.

If you continue to let such influences go unchecked, perhaps the game may act like some kind of contraband and affect society as a whole.

In order to make the information collected by the assistant more convincing, he also found some examples. These examples are related to the impact on life after playing Doom. Some employees of the Power Supply Bureau even caused the power supply to appear because of going to work and playing Doom. Mistakes, a region's power has experienced dramatic fluctuations.

There are also local companies playing with all members, which has caused several businesses of this company to stagnate. The owners are very dissatisfied and are planning to sue the company. If the lawsuit is successful, the company will also go bankrupt. As a result, many unemployed people will appear, which is also something that many people do not want to see.

The governor became more and more alarmed when he saw the news.

He is good enough to be considered an elite class in the United States. Even the elite class like him was so addicted to it just now that he almost forgot his job.

Then let alone ordinary people who are not very intelligent per capita.

Their resistance to video games will definitely be lower.

This is really not a good sign.

He also finally began to seriously examine the document at this time, and then looked up at his personal computer again.

On his personal computer, there is still a picture of the Doom Warrior killing the enemy.

"Governor, the impact of this game is very serious, I suggest that it should be considered to regulate it now, and, you see, this is something created by a company from Japan, I have to doubt the ambition of the Japanese company, they may He has his own secrets."

The latter paragraph is, of course, nonsense.

But the people are also very easy to believe such words.

If used properly, it can indeed pose a threat to Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

The government of a state will openly confront a Japanese game company, and the result is naturally obvious. The Japanese company cannot win. If it is not good, the governor can also gain some prestige.

He fought the influence of foreign cultures in the name of the people and put people's lives back on track.
