Rebirth of America, this is my time

[Los Angeles Times: The true meaning of video games is to bring more happiness to the world! Let’s see how Destiny Games founder Ethan Jones describes the bright future of video games! 】

[Washington Post: Ethan Jones, the inventor of Pac-Man and Snake, publicly stated yesterday that Atari and Milowa want to layer happiness. Their purpose of promoting home consoles is to give people Public entertainment has set up barriers to exclude some players who love games. 】

[Wall Street Journal: Destiny Game founder Ethan Jones publicly announced his new game at the Fox new film conference. He also said that the era of electronic arcades has just begun. Video games are mass entertainment and everyone should play them. With the right to enjoy happiness, Atari and Mirowa's arrogance will bring disaster to Warner and Philips behind them. 】

In the early morning of the next day after the press conference, reports carrying Ethan's views spread across the North American continent like a flood.

When Ethan spoke his thoughts freely and named his competitors without hesitation, his non-stop remarks were simply the favorite news content of all media.

no way.

Who allowed such explosive words to attract the attention of countless people?

When a person's remarks don't need to be polished and can be directly copied and made headlines...

The media, who thrive on public attention, really wanted to hold Ethan and kiss him!

After the report was released, Ethan's outrage was like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, causing heated discussions in North America. If we say that before, many media received money from Warner and Philips to frantically promote Yaya. Dali New Generation and Miroir Apollo are so good, so now, when Fox has successfully recharged, the corresponding arguments are like rocket launches, and they are rampant.

Peacock spoke directly. NBC host David Brinkley said to the national live camera: This morning, I saw the news report of Ethan Jones, the founder of the Destiny Game. He is on Fox and Lucas I was intrigued by what was said at the launch of the new film.”

As early as when Milowa and Atari said that the era of electronic arcades had passed, I had deep doubts in my heart. At that time, I felt that something was wrong, but I never found the crux of the problem. Therefore, I did not speak out on the hot topics that are currently hot.”

But after I saw Ethan Jones's response, I discovered what really made me confused about Milowa and Atari. That was that they... seemed to be abandoning the public.

Mirova has never made an electronic arcade machine from the beginning. What they have made from the very beginning is a home console. In what year did they launch a home console? If anyone remembers, they will find that it was five years ago. Before! And what happened to our country five years ago?”

Our great Lord Tingzong suspended the exchange of U.S. dollars and gold! Because of the ZD war, our country's oil prices have skyrocketed! The resulting mass unemployment and soaring prices have left us breathless under the huge pressure of life! In this case, even if the Milova Odyssey product is very amazing, so what? When we are running for food every day, how many people will seriously consider a home appliance that costs more than one hundred dollars? Game console?

And when we were in trouble, Atari came out of nowhere!

Pong swept across the entire North American continent and became the most popular video game at the time!

“Is this success because of how good Nolan Bushnell is?”

No! It's because interesting video games bring a ray of light to us in the dark! The extremely low price of the game allows us to have fun in our spare time!

It is precisely because electronic games are entertainment for the masses. As long as people want to play, they can play them on machines in the streets for a while, so they can enter our lives in the shortest possible time!

But what now?

At the beginning of this year, Atari announced its official withdrawal from the arcade market, and Milowa has never set foot in the arcade field! Although they keep saying that the future of electronic games is home consoles, and being able to play them as much as you want is the meaning of the existence of games. But at the same time, they are indeed abandoning players!

I have a set of data in my hand——

The price of a single electronic arcade machine of Pac-Man is US$2,000. More than 10,000 units were sold in North America last year. The revenue of Destiny Game in a single year should exceed 20 million.

“This income seems like a lot, right?”

But do you know how much money Pac-Man as a whole made last year?

The guaranteed income exceeds 500 million!

Seeing this, many people may be wondering, where did the remaining 480 million go?

I can tell you responsibly! That 480 million has flowed to the market again!

When players enjoy the game by inserting coins, those coins also flow into the pockets of the electronic arcade owners, the owners of billiard halls, dance halls, and bowling alleys!

And in order to maintain business, those bosses have to hire employees. In the process, the income related to the game falls on everyone who is connected with the game!

To be honest, when I learned this fact, I was completely shocked!

Because the existence of Pac-Man has created a positive cycle in our country's economy!

Ethan Jones brought happiness to the people across the country. At the same time, he also brought thousands of small businesses and American people who got jobs to make money! As the leader of this incident, Destiny Game only took The revenue from a game is less than 5%!

that's all……

Mirov and Atari are still saying that Ethan Jones is using arcade machines to make profits?

This is really fart!

I think Milohua and Atari want to grab all the benefits, right?

Because when they launch the game as a home console, most of the profits will flow into their pockets! And maybe this is the reason why they criticize Ethan Jones for disrupting the market? Because they are afraid that others will discover the truth!

When this sharp evaluation appeared, the people of North America were all confused!

Because under the bombardment of public opinion from Warner and Philips, they have heard countless remarks related to the expensiveness of arcade machines in the past two months. Many people even think that video games that cost tens of cents to play are a scam. , but now...

Destiny game doesn’t make money?

Instead, he made money with thousands of people?

Atari and Mirowa want to make all the money?

So they are the real dragons?

Oh! Sxxt!

How could such a thing happen with a special code!

When Peacock took the lead to speak out, ABC, which is inextricably linked to it, did not show any weakness. Their gold medal host Harry Risener also expressed his own comments on the incident.

The host, who had covered the whole Lezong assassination case, had the same views as NBC's David Brinkley, but his words were more tendentious.

Viewers! Although as a media practitioner and a news anchor, I should always remain neutral, because only in this way can I bring you more objective reports, but the scolding wars in the past few weeks have really It’s unbearable for me! I’m here to implore you all to keep your eyes open and don’t be deceived by Atari and Mirowa!”

They are the culprits who want to empty your wallets!

They are the real demons who want to control the source of your happiness!

And Ethan Jones and his Game of Destiny?

So far! Have you ever seen him attack any opponent?

No!

Ethan Jones has only made games so far and has only released news related to games! And such a person who wants to bring happiness to the public is now being suppressed by Atari and Mirowa. This kind of thing , it’s really infuriating!”

Such words have brought great shock to the people of North America!

At this moment, they felt that what ABC said made sense!

Since the green whirlwind brought by Snake swept across North America, Ethan Jones seems to have never appeared in public in front of the media!

Every time news breaks out, there is a new work!

And when a producer is working diligently on making games...

But his competitors are endlessly smearing him?

Oh - this kind of thing is too special and disgusting!

Suddenly, voices of protest suddenly arose!

Players who have regarded Snake and Pac-Man as their mainstays of leisure in the past two years have criticized Atari and Milowa for their shameless behavior!

At the same time, Atari and Milohua, who were hit in the face by Ethan's angry punch, were also a little confused, because they didn't know why Ethan Jones got involved with Fox?

According to their information, Ethan Jones only walked through the door of Fox for the first time a few months ago, at the beginning of this year!

And now...

The game they jointly developed is about to appear?

MFxxk! When did this happen?

How come they don’t know anything?

Unlike Atari and Milo Warner's surprise on the project, at this moment, there was a huge quarrel in the CEO offices of Warner Bros. and Philips.

Although they have been practicing public opinion offensive for many years and have become very proficient in it. Even in the past operations, they have made mistakes many times, but this time they were pointed at and scolded by their competitors. They have never encountered such a thing before.

What I have never encountered before is...

MFxxk!

How can Ethan Jones say we look down on ordinary people???

In the Warner office, CEO Steve Ross roared angrily at his subordinates, Is there anyone in the world who doesn't know how the film industry developed? Don't they know that without the support of the public, Might the film industry cease to exist?”

In fact, just like electronic arcades in video games, the movie industry also started with coin-operated viewing.

The world's earliest movie projection machine was Edison's 'movie scope', which was a device similar to a telescope. The audience could only view the image on the film through a small hole.

Due to the limitation of the window, only one person can watch at a time, so in order to ensure profitability, the initial setting of this project is that it can only be started after the coins are inserted.

It is precisely because the general public is curious about this simple form of entertainment that it has promoted the accelerated development of the film industry. And because the film industry can only follow the profit model of small profits but quick turnover, so the huge income is It relies on the huge flow of people.

In this case, Ethan said that Warner Bros. dislikes ordinary people?

oh--

What's the difference between this special code and destroying their jobs?

Such remarks are simply the revenge of killing one's father, and they are irreconcilable!

Deny! Prosecute! Get information!

Warner Bros. CEO Steve Ross yelled at his subordinates:

Hurry up and hold a press conference to deny all accusations made by Ethan Jones!

Let the legal department directly file a lawsuit against Destiny Games and say that their founder Ethan Jones has slandered and slandered our Warner Bros. and subsidiary Atari!

Oh yes!

I am sending legal letters to NBC, ABC, and Fox! Who asked them to report these things? Let them publicly apologize to us and compensate us for the loss of our reputation!

Finally, find out for me what Ethan Jones' new game is!

Since we have chosen to step on it, let's step on it to the end!

His new game must never be heard in North America again!

Warner Bros. on the west coast is busy in an emergency, while Philips on the east coast, which is a continent away from it, is also burning with anger in their office at this moment.

If Warner Bros. is angry because Ethan accurately poked their butt, then Philips is angry because all the products they sell are consumer goods for the public!

Regardless of whether it is lighting products such as energy-saving lamps, electronic products such as televisions, razors, and laser discs, or various music products released by PolyGram, the special code treats the general public as the ultimate product. Customer’s consumer products! Only medical equipment is purchased in bulk!

And in this case——

Ethan said they have contempt for ordinary consumers?

The specific manifestation is to maliciously suppress electronic arcade machines when manufacturing home consoles?

Oh! My! God!

Sue! Sue directly! Go sue Ethan Jones immediately!

We must not let this kind of remarks continue! What we are doing is mass consumer goods! We must not let people feel disgusted with our brand!

Then, contact those arcade buyers to find out what Ethan Jones' new game is! Since he attacks us mercilessly, then we will fight him to the end!

In this roar, two world-renowned companies located on the east and west coasts of the North American continent almost made the same decision. On the afternoon of April 9, Warner and its subsidiary Atari, and Philips and its subsidiary Milowa, held their respective press conferences.

At the press conference, they expressed strong protest against Ethan Jones’s false accusations and informed all media, asking them to stop spreading false news. At the same time, they repeatedly claimed that they would take legal action to defend themselves. image and reputation.

And when Monday, April 11th came, they were very decisive in filing a lawsuit.

When Ethan received the summons from the San Jose court, he had a big smile on his face.

Isn't it uncomfortable? It's okay to be uncomfortable!

Since you dare to pee in front of me, then don't blame me for shitting on your head!

After giving the subpoena to Julis Noble and asking her to seek help from Stanford's Entrepreneurship Guidance Office, Ethan went into the company's R\u0026D office and stared at the final package of the game.

That's right!

Ethan didn’t take these two lawsuits to heart at all!

In other words, when Ethan Jones got the publicity plan formulated by Fox, he already knew that if he followed the other party's plan, no matter what he did, he would be sued by Warner Bros. and Philips , but Ethan doesn’t care about these things.

Because when he uses his words to blow away his competitors...

Then this must be the most beautiful thing in the world!

Moreover, to make the two families jump out of anger, this was originally the first thing they hoped to achieve in the game announcement.

As for the second bomb...

On April 14, the Star Wars electronic arcade was officially packaged.

Ethan personally pasted the classic poster of Luke Skywalker holding the lightsaber high, Princess Leia in front of him, and Darth Vader as the background on the machine, and then called Fox.

In the afternoon, the fat manager who got the news showed up at the Destiny Game to check the results of the finished product with a bunch of colleagues.

When they discovered that the final actual effect of the game was very different from what they had imagined, the second step in the announcement process officially began. After returning, they got in touch with all parties involved in the plan, and then notified Ethan Jones to come to Los Angeles Century City for an appointment on April 23rd with a Star Wars electronic arcade machine.

Ethan had no objection to this arrangement.

And when he appears at the designated place at the designated time with the designated product...

What he saw were luxury cars one after another.

and George Lucas in suit and tie.

Smiling and hugging each other, Ethan once again walked into Fox's screening room. Although he had reached a cooperation agreement with Fox, there were still faces in the screening room that he felt were unfamiliar.

But it doesn't matter, because Fox executives and Lucas will introduce everyone to him.

As they talked, Ethan also greeted several important people.

They are GCC owner Richard Smith, Mann Theaters owner Ted Mann, and AMC owner, Stanley Durwood.

That's right!

The second step in Fox's publicity plan is to let Ethan Jones bring the Star Wars game to participate in the Star Wars movie viewing party held for North American theaters!

At the same time, what Fox wants to do, and what Ethan Jones needs to do, is to sell the Star Wars electronic arcade machine into thousands of commercial theaters large and small in North America!

Thanks to [Yishan Daojun] for the reward of 600 starting coins, and thanks to [Namo Omituo Buddha] [Book Friends 20210502084351705] [cjll] for the reward of 100 starting coins.

Note: ① GCC is a general cinema chain in the United States. It was established in 1935. In 1976, there were almost more than 1,500 screens in the United States. ②Mann Theaters is the Mann Cinema Line. It originally inherited the theater line that Fox sold due to the Paramount Act. In 1972, it acquired the National General Corporation (NGC) of the United States, and the number of theaters was close to 1,000. ③AMC is the one bought by Principal Wang’s father. ④The reason why arcade machines became popular in North America as written in the article is based on their own industry summary. The prosperity of the electronic arcade industry in North America actually follows the times. The impact of the economic crisis has made people need cheap entertainment, which is cheaper than movies. The game has naturally entered the stage of history. After that, the reason why Atari's machines sold well was actually because the living standards of the North American people gradually recovered. In fact, the large group of players has always been rational, and they will go wherever the cost-effectiveness is.
