i really just want to play games

Chapter 416 Another possible path to choose
After giving Chen Tiancai affirmative words, Director Ma didn't say anything else, and asked Chen Tiancai to accompany him around the construction site.After looking at the living conditions of the workers, inquiring about the settlement of wages, and knocking on all parties by the way, they left here with ease.

After Chen Tiancai finished this matter, he breathed a sigh of relief, because he had overcome the final difficulty.

In fact, apart from Director Ma's option, Chen Tiancai had another way.

That was Suo Dafa or Lao Ren, which cooperated very well with Zange Network. These two companies would definitely provide Chen Tiancai with considerable support, but the hard part was that they were colleagues after all.

Peer competition means competition. A player’s budget for buying games in a year must be limited. Apart from his favorite, he will definitely only choose the ones he is most interested in, or those with a good reputation after release.

But there is another advantage of being in the same industry, that is, I definitely hope that my industry will get better and better, so if I find them to cooperate, Chen Tiancai will get a lot of help.

The two of them must also have more patience with Chen Tiancai, unlike those investment banks who only care about money and only want quick and simple financial returns.

However, Chen Tiancai believes that it is a good time for him to seek cooperation with these two companies only after the release of the Vivolight console.

Because he was in a dominant position at that time and could better reconcile the disputes between his interests and those of the two families.

And if they were to look for them now, with the grievances between Lao Ren and Suo Dafa, Chen Tiancai would definitely choose one of them, not the two.

It seems that Suo Dafa and Lao Ren are both local companies in the island country, but Chen Tiancai really knows the grievances between the two of them, not to mention bloody enmity, but one party is definitely deflated, and the other party will definitely drink and celebrate.

Lao Ren has not taken the road of high-definition and high-performance consoles now. The reason is that Suo Dafa defeated Lao Ren in the new generation of console battlefield with PS1.

Ordinary players may say that the old Ren is a woman and child with picture quality, and a skill toy, but it is not clear that at the beginning, the old Ren is like Microsoft today, trying to defeat Suo Dafa by virtue of its performance and picture quality.

After losing, I had to find another way, which can be said to be a last resort.

The same goes for Suo Dafa. Their mainframe business has reached a certain limit, and they are still facing Microsoft's fierce pursuit these years. If they want to continue to expand their business, they can only follow the old path.

In the past ten years, Suo Dafa released handheld consoles based on Lao Ren, and the initial PSP series really caused Lao Ren to suffer a lot.

At that time, Lao Ren's mainframe business was not very good, and the main revenue was from the handheld business. Facing such an attack from Suo Dafa, Chen Tiancai believed that Lao Ren would absolutely want to blow up Suo Dafa's building.

The final result was that Suo Dafa made some mistakes, and Lao Ren had a more unique understanding of handheld consoles. After a series of mistakes, Suo Dafa finally released a generation of PSV that was well received but not a hit, and he finally launched the handheld business. .

The reason for this situation is not that Suo Dafa doesn't want to pursue and fight fiercely, but that the historical process has undergone major changes.

Smartphones have entered an explosive development...

This situation may be unforeseen by all game manufacturers. An electronic product that focuses on communication and light entertainment functions will eventually end the handheld market.

Strictly speaking, the game level of handhelds is actually higher than that of smartphones, but the alternation between these two things is not because of the replacement of content, but the replacement of usage time and scenes.

In the past, the time spent playing handhelds was some fragmented time, such as commuting time, but now a smartphone perfectly replaces these usage scenarios with more options besides games, thus announcing the end of the handheld era.

The emergence of this situation is quite epoch-making.Two non-overlapping industries made a silent replacement in a place that has never been studied by people, which gave birth to many Internet concepts and provided ideas for some later Internet products.

The competition has also changed from traditional industry infighting to a more specific and profound goal, that is, how to occupy users' usage time.

Lao Ren’s switch series is a classic example of this idea.

The combination of host mode and handheld mode seems to provide two possible usage scenarios.

But in fact, the process of the game is continued to the greatest extent possible. When you go out, you can bring the handheld mode, so you want to continue playing the game you just played, so you continue your own usage scenarios.

Push back to the host mode, which is the same.

Moreover, the old Ren is also very smart to continue the party play of his own game, giving players more reasons to take away the switch.

In this way, it seems that Lao Ren did not compete with Suo Dafa with high image quality, but in fact he hit the essence and invaded the players who also own PS consoles in the usage scene.

In this regard, Chen Tiancai felt that Suo Dafa was a bit rigid and did not develop his potential to occupy the living room as much as possible.

After all, looking at the game content of both parties, PS players are actually very lonely. Most games only need one controller, and only one player can play.

Chen Tiancai can see this, so Suo Dafa must be the same, so Chen Tiancai presumes that he is currently unable to reconcile the two.

The competition in the industry is very cruel. Thinking about Lao Ren's hard life in the past, Chen Tiancai knew that his somewhat idealistic mind was to deliver food.

But being an idealist does not mean that he is stupid. On the contrary, on the way to implement his ideals, smart idealists will use more bizarre and unexpected methods.

Chen Tiancai is such a person, that's why he finally chose Director Ma's path instead of the fierce battlefield in the industry.

This year's E3 is actually coming soon, and the organizers have already sent inquiries to Anthem Network, but the final result is that Anthem Network will not participate in this year's painting conference.

There is no need to elaborate on the reason for Anthem Network, but it was a bit surprising to the organizers of E3 and industry insiders who already knew the situation.

Since Anthem Network debuted, it has released products basically every year, and its performance at E3 has been getting better and better year by year, but this year they will not come, which has caused a lot of speculation in the industry.

Chen Tiancai was too lazy to read related gossip.

In fact, if he insists on it, Chen Tiancai can completely release the low-light console at this year's E3. After all, with the current development progress of "Hymn·Infinite", it is completely sufficient.

But for a new host, a pie is too thin.

Moreover, Los Santos was someone else's base, and Chen Tiancai didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.

The trouble is not that he can't handle it, but that it will waste his precious time now working on the new world plan.
