Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 154 Hidden hidden dangers of public opinion

[Thunder Game] Here, everything is running in an orderly manner.

Arcade design, virtual system, performance, screen color, joystick button comfort, coin detection... A series of software and hardware, etc., were completed as early as a month ago.

And the three escort masterpieces have also been planned early.

The production speed is not too fast, about 800 units per day.

certainly--

The output mentioned here only refers to [Thunder Games], and does not include several other subsidiaries of the group.

If all available resources are mobilized, the daily output can reach about 4000 units.

But in Tian Moyun's view, there was no need to do so.

The first version of [Thunder Arcade] is expected to produce 1 units. Based on 20 units per store, 500 stores can be configured.

Calculated according to the tens of thousands of stores originally planned——

Not even 500% of the 5 stores.

But that's not how the accounts are calculated.

[Arcade Mode] is a big project jointly developed by [Thunder Games] + [Su's Real Estate] + [Tenglong Venture Capital]. The first round of investment is not less than one billion.

But does this model actually work?
Will there be some accidents during the operation?
Will this [offline game hall] model affect the social economy?
Will it be boycotted?

A series of problems have not been verified, and no one dares to lay tens of thousands of stores across the country directly.

The 500 stores are a very safe trial operation method that they have come to after careful communication.

As long as the trial operation is good, it will be laid nationwide immediately.

By the time--

There are 10000+ stores, at least 20-30 arcade machines, covering every county and even township in the country.

……

"The development of video games has gone through several eras, but so far, the number of players has not exceeded 2000 million."

Tian Moyun said softly: "But what you need to know is that the Great Xia Kingdom has a population of more than one billion. Excluding the elderly and children, there are more than 2000 million adults in blind guesses. Such a huge group has only developed a population of less than [-] million people. The market...was so useless.”

"Once [arcade] becomes popular, at least more than [-] million people across the country will become our players."

"The game market will also change from less than 2000 million people to [-] million people, a tenfold increase."

"Only in this way can the video game market truly flourish, and our [Thunder Contest] plan can be implemented smoothly."

Su Qiongdai frowned slightly, but said nothing.

Tian Moyun glanced at her: "What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking……"

Su Qiong hesitated, and said cautiously: "Are video games considered as something that is beneficial to physical and mental health and social development?"

"Since the birth of video games—"

"In newspapers and on television, there are often claims that video games are ruining teenagers."

"They classify video games as a very bad thing, comparable to the harm of teenagers smoking, drinking, fighting and fighting..."

"Some educators even clearly pointed out that the prevalence of video games will completely make children lose their ability to learn, and eventually become mediocre."

"For a long time—"

"The electronic game industry has not developed well, on the one hand because of the high cost, and on the other hand... because of the mixed praise and criticism from the society."

"And what we're doing now—"

"Infinitely expanding the player base and lowering the threshold will inevitably make the 'conflict' more intense. This is a problem we must deal with."

……

Tian Moyun remained silent.

This kind of pressure from public opinion has been with us since the birth of video games.

The game companies of the first era were unable to reverse public opinion, the second era, the third era... none of them could do it.

Even large capital enterprises like the Big Three are also unable to reverse the situation.

only--

Although public opinion has always existed and the 'conflict of ideas' is fierce, it is still controlled within an area acceptable to both parties.

Because, as far as it is concerned, video games are only "niche" and "high-end products". Only a very small number of people in the country can access them, and most people just follow along to join in the fun.

And now-

【Thunder Arcade】Once it comes out.

The entry threshold of video games will be lowered countless times in an instant.

From the past "two to three thousand to buy a game console", "hundreds of dollars to buy a game", "there must be a TV at home", "family members must agree"... and so many difficulties and screening "thresholds", until now, only need to hold For one dollar, you can go to the [Game Hall] to play a game.

The threshold has been lowered countless times, to the point that almost everyone can accept it.

In this way——

When the game market expands tenfold in an instant, the accompanying voices of public opinion and criticism will also increase more than tenfold in an instant.

This is a catastrophe.

Going through the past will usher in a bright future.

Unable to pass, [Thunder Arcade] failed and died, and the door of hope for video games was closed again.

future--

Perhaps the entire [Thunder Game] will be moved overseas for development.

……

"what do you think?"

Tian Moyun asked: "What do you think video games are? Has it ruined teenagers? Is it a bad product of society?"

"no."

Su Qiong shook her head.

She wanted to argue and express her opinion, but after thinking about it for a long time, she didn't know where to start.

After a long silence, I had no choice but to say: "It is something that can bring happiness to everyone."

It seemed that she could only understand this.

"Not just happy."

Tian Moyun chuckled: "The emergence of video games does have many disadvantages, but it also has its advantages, and there are more."

"In many powerful countries overseas, video games are called the ninth art, and its status is very high."

"only--"

"In this world, too many people like to think about problems based on their own subjectivity, and they just like to listen to the opinions of so-called experts."

"Video games not only have their unique charm, they can also bring positive impacts to society."

"As for what it is, you will soon find out."

"Don't worry, I have a way to deal with everything that is coming, you don't have to worry about me."

……

"Everything will be fine, and the future is always good."

Tian Moyun patted her head and said softly: "It's getting late, let's go back."

"Ah."

Su Qiong nodded, a little absent-minded.

She knew that this was a threshold, and it was not as easy as Tian Moyun said if she wanted to cross it.

The little girl wanted to help too.

Can--

She thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't figure out how to "break" the deadlock in front of her.

The little girl knew very well——

Big Three?
Those three bloated and old capital forces are completely unqualified to compete with [Thunder Game].

All their craziness and shouting are just self-help methods like jumping beams and clowns, and they have already lost their hearts.

[Thunder Game] is a brand new life, powerful, symbolizing the future.

its enemies-

It has never been a peer, but the "prejudice" and "hostility" in everyone's heart.
