Chapter 97 Acquisition
While the electronic arts industry was still playing tricks, American online games have made great progress.
An online game called "Online Genesis" is beginning to become popular among players.
If this game was released, it has been almost three years since it was released.
This online game is a role-playing game, but it is very different from other role-playing games.
In the end, this kind of game was called MMORPG, which is a multiplayer online role-playing game.
Compared with games such as "Stone Age" launched by Wanhu, this is a game that almost completely implements the concept of virtual communities.
The player's behavior is entirely up to the player himself.
Players can choose to be a herb collecting herbs, or they can choose to go out to sea to become One Piece.
Even if it is simply buying and selling, it is very fun.
It is precisely because the players have woven an interesting game mode themselves that this game is different from other games. After the release, after a peak, players begin to lose.
On the contrary, it seems that this game has no peak, and players have been rising over the years at a relatively slow pace.
At the same time, the number of people online has accumulated over nearly three years and has stabilized at more than 10,000.
This is already an amazing achievement. You should know that the ten thousand households battle platform is stable and the number of online users is only maintained at the order of 100,000.
This is not the number of people online while maintaining a game, but the number of people online while maintaining a game.
Tripp, who has experienced failure, has never been a person who gives up easily. Since he thinks that online games are a big deal and people in the electronic art world are now unable to handle it, then buy it.
The stable results of the game "Net Genesis" made Tripp feel that this is an ideal acquisition target.
"Yes, I can guarantee that after you enter the electronic art world, you will maintain a high degree of autonomy. No one will interfere in your operations, and no one will make compulsive demands on you. You just need to make games and continue to improve your "Net Genesis".
I want to acquire you just because I think online games are one direction. And the electronic arts industry needs to do something in a new direction."
Tripp spitted and said loudly.
He personally discussed almost all acquisition cases in the electronic art industry.
He likes negotiations and feels that when negotiating, he is an omnipotent superman.
In a simple acquisition case, as long as they talk, they will be willing to become a member of the electronic art industry.
However, a slightly more difficult acquisition case can be successfully acquired through his own magical mouth.
Of course, the premise of all this is because the electronic arts industry has money.
Although the developer and publisher of "Net Genesis" has a game with over 10,000 online players at the same time, their lives are not rich and they often fall into a tight life, with a life of not tomorrow.
Why is this happening?
The reason is very simple.
Although games are paid by monthly cards, the payment price is not high. It is far from enough to cope with the need for continuous expansion of broadband resources.
Almost 60 or 70 percent of the monthly income is paid on broadband fees.
Including the terrifying taxes and the expenses of employees, if you want to increase your server, you often need to take out a loan.
It was fine in the past two years, and it was not difficult to get a loan, but this year, it became difficult to get a loan.
Because the Internet bubble still burst, one company after another that once seemed to have great potential is now beginning to go bankrupt one after another.
Although "Net Genesis" has a lot of people online, it looks promising. But there is no end to the end. The entire Internet is singing and collapse. What is the possibility of the Origin Company being exempted from the vulgarity?
And at this time, the electronic art world appeared and Tripp appeared.
However, the emergence of Tripp and the electronic art world did not make people at Origin Company feel relaxed.
You should know that the names of electronic arts and Tripp can be said to be well-known in the electronic game industry in the United States.
Both electronic arts and Tripp represent one meaning, “acquire an electronic game company and destroy it.”
If you believe Tripp or the electronic arts company and really think that the company will not be affected by the image, you will definitely regret it if you believe it is merged into them.
So, no matter what Tripp is saying now, the two people in front of him will not believe even if they say a word.
Both of them know that the electronic art world is entering the online gaming sector recently.
However, perhaps Tripp has some problems with his thinking, and the behavior of stir-frying up the cold rice is not very popular with players now.
It is precisely because of this that Tripp came to acquire his own Origin Company.
However, it seems that being acquired by the electronic art industry will solve the problem of money, but if it is really acquired, who knows whether it will be disbanded like other similar companies in an instant?
It is better to believe that donkeys can fly than to believe that they are in good faith in the electronic art world.
But... Origin Company has really reached a very critical time.
When Tripp of the electronic arts industry was negotiating with Origin Company, Takahashi of Wanhu was also negotiating with an American game company. The name of this company is transliterated into Chinese as Villefort, and its meaning is valve.
The owner of the valve company is a fat man. Everyone likes to call him G Fat. He himself is a very outstanding programmer who likes electronic games. He has worked at Microsoft for several years.
A few years ago, he left Microsoft and opened a new company, an electronic game company, that is, the Valve Company, not far from Microsoft.
The game they planned to make at the beginning of the establishment of Valve Company was a shooting game. They initially planned to develop a shooting game engine themselves, but they found that their level was difficult to surpass the engine used by the ID company "Thor Hammer" at that time.
In order to avoid the embarrassment of re-creating wheels, they chose to purchase the right to use the game engine from the ID company.
As they wished, they succeeded. When they succeeded, the first game they made was the commonly used Chinese translation of "Half-Life".
