Richie, who had been playing games all night, had all kinds of dark circles in class the next day. He couldn't put on makeup and could not use technology to remedy it like Lisa's senior. Therefore, he looked infinitely close to his body being hollowed out.

With a little blurred consciousness, he even turned on the handheld console and played his beloved game before, and felt a little bored and bored after leaving the computer version of "The Sims".

Excellent video games, or any excellent entertainment product, actually have a strong exclusivity.

When a novel is so exciting that it is hard to extricate itself, it feels boring to read any book and do anything.

And at this moment, Richie was in such a state after playing "The Sims".

To be honest, there are still many shortcomings in the final version of The Sims. But even such a flawed game can make Ricky like this, which shows how powerful this game is.

What's even more terrifying is that Ritchie hasn't figured out yet what special about the game made by John and his wife that actually attracts him like this.

It's obviously just a computer version of the house...

But why is it so interesting?

Richie, who has not studied the theory of electronic game and human psychology, naturally cannot understand the mystery.

One of the gameplay of The Sims is that this game allows the protagonists controlled by the player to achieve almost all of his wishes through hard work.

You know, it is unrealistic to work like this in the real world.

Although everyone hopes to succeed if they work hard.

However, due to the limitations of various objective conditions, people are often busy so much that they have no time to enrich themselves and grow, or they have no results after working hard.

To give an obvious example, a boy is beloved a girl all the time. After countless efforts, what he gained is not the happiness of being together, but just a good person card.

The reason why "Green Album" produced by Takahashi has achieved a fairly good sales is because the success rate of chasing girls in electronic games is far higher than chasing girls in reality.

Moreover, compared with real girls, girls in the game cannot become real people. Even in terms of personality, they still have hobbies or understanding people, they are far better than real girls.

Today, when Japan's economy is in a downturn, it is even harder for boys who have already found a girlfriend, and it is even harder for them to find a girlfriend.

Because, compared with boys' excellent standards, girls' excellence is easier to achieve.

No matter how beautiful or ugly you are, as long as you learn to put on makeup, you can reach the level.

Regardless of your education, as long as you earn enough money to spend, you can make yourself beautiful, you will be an excellent woman.

And the other way around is a male.

Not only do you have to be sunny and handsome, but you have an outstanding figure. You also need to have a car and a house, with a monthly income of more than 500,000 yen.

It seems that only this is the standard for excellent men in women's hearts.

Even, I wish such an excellent man would not have to go to work every day, just stay by my side and please me.

Because the standards of excellence are different, because the difficulty of achieving excellence is different.

Therefore, in this new generation called Heisei, a large number of boys choose to devote all their emotions to animations or games.

Girls in animations and games will not dislike themselves, will not cheat, will always love themselves, and will remain young forever.

Compared with real girls, why not choose such a cost-effective choice?

As a result, the marriage rate in Japan has decreased year by year, and there are more and more cases of less birth.

It’s not because Heisei got out of the dead house, but because these boys don’t see the hope that they can change reality through their own efforts.

Therefore, they can only devote themselves to the virtual world. In the virtual world, they can change one world after another, break through one boundary after another, and give themselves comfort.

The gameplay of the computer version of "The Sims" also includes this part.

During the game last night, Ricci realized what he could have almost never been able to do in his life.

In the game, the character he created became a master of picking up girls.

I communicate with countless cute, mature, mature, and sexual (harmonious) young ladies and older ladies.

In this game, he felt the feeling of being a winner in life.

He likes this feeling and wants to continue this kind of life.

Compared with those games in the past, the sense of happiness and accomplishment brought by defeating the devil king and saving the world.

This kind of happiness and accomplishment of a winner in life is more in line with his life and makes him like it more.

This is also the main reason why he has a withdrawal reaction.

No one wants the dream to stop, right?

"John!" Ritchie looked at Takahashi like a poor puppy.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm wrong! I'm very wrong! I like "The Sims", I said that was wrong yesterday! Can I still go to your house to play "The Sims" today?" Ritchie's voice almost begged.

"Yes! But if you want to help me, remember to keep it confidential. Don't tell anyone about anything you see at my house!" Takahashi emphasized.

It is obviously not possible to make a modern video game with one or two people. Even if the Sims are not large in scale, it will take at least two or three years to make a "Sims" that can be released by Takahashi and Ai.

Time doesn't wait for me.

The electronic game industry is changing almost every day. If a game is launched and released is too long, the best choice is to push it back and remake it.

In Takahashi's impression, because the production cycle is too long, and the game that has been pushed back and remade several times has no one hand.

In order to improve "The Sims" faster, Takahashi needs more staff!

Although Richie looks unreliable, he has strong programming skills.

At least he is stronger than himself. With the addition of such a programmer, Takahashi feels that the progress of game production will be greatly accelerated.

Moreover, this programmer only needs to play games for him, and even needs wages...

And, the programmer is even more concerned about this game than those programmers who use money to do business...

Work and hobbies are absolutely different!

People work for survival, but don't necessarily like to work.

People love it for their love and spend countless time on their love!

Isn’t that very happy when work and hobbies overlap?
