Chapter 436 444. Waiting for a burst

Lu's living room, routine dinner.

When Lu Xiaoyao picked vegetables, he aimed at Lu Yuan, and when he picked vegetables, he aimed at Lu Yuan, making people laugh like a kitten stealing food.

"Just tell me what you have, when did you become so obedient?"

Lu Yuan looked at his eccentric younger sister, very speechless.

"Hmph! Aren't you worried about you?" Lu Xiaoyao's pink nose wrinkled in dissatisfaction, and then said carefully:
"Brother, your new game is not good. Everyone in my classmate group has complained about it for a few months, and the slots are still densely packed..."

Lu Xiaoyao stopped talking in the middle, but the worry he wanted to express was clearly conveyed.

Naturally, Lu Yuan knew what his sister was worried about. It was almost the end of the year, and "The Day Humans Disappeared" was still lukewarm. The controversy was far greater than the praise, and in many cases, the popularity was not as good as those "old games".

Comprehension is understanding, but Lu Yuan doesn't worry much about this issue. After all, it is a game for living, so there is no rush.

And the current situation is much better than he expected, there is no reason to worry at all, but it is time to celebrate.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan joked with a smile:
"I've been complaining about it for a few months, and that's really persistent. By the way, the graduation exam will be in two days, right? How is your preparation going?"

"Hey! Teacher Lu! Please don't try to change the subject!"

Lu Xiaoyao was annoyed, which made Lu Yuan laugh out loud.

Getting angry with one's own sister seems to be an innate skill of every elder brother, and Lu Yuan is no exception.

After laughing enough, Lu Yuan said seriously: "Don't worry, the company's background data has always been very good. Haven't your classmates proved that the sticky data is real?"

"But...but..." Lu Xiaoyao always felt that something was wrong, and wanted to say something, but couldn't think of what was wrong for a while.

Lu Yuan didn't wait for her to think about some strange questions, and brought the topic back again.

"Tell me about the exam. I'm graduating soon. What are your plans?"

"Well--"

As soon as he said this, Lu Xiaoyao became a little listless.

When she was very young, her dream was to be a foreign correspondent, chasing crises and hot spots all over the world, and broadcasting the most authentic first-hand news.

After I grew up a little and learned about the inside story of the industry, this idea faded away.

Later, I played games, became an anchor, and started a company...

Along the way, it seems that I have not made any "important life choices", and I have come all the way to today.

Tired is very tiring, but life is very fulfilling.

But there is something inexplicable about it.

Just like what many people said on the Internet: "If I had an older brother who was in the Fortune [-], I could..."

But what she's doing now is what she likes the most?Is it really like those idiots said to start from scratch?

Isn't it normal to be protected by one's own brother?

Very entangled...and a little dark.

Lu Yuan looked at his younger sister whose face was wrinkled into a bun, and it was a little funny.

The little girl has grown up, and her thoughts have changed.

"Forget it. Since you don't have any ideas, you should prepare for the exam first. After you get your graduation certificate, you can follow your sister Liang and go play around, and then it's not too late to think about it."

"En!" Hearing this, Lu Xiaoyao nodded, and then seemed to feel that he was acting too well-behaved and was a little "lost", so he rolled his eyes and asked with a smile:

"By the way, when it comes to games...do you need to advertise for you, there are discounts~ I heard from a friend that your game with traffic that cannot be monetized is not profitable, and burning money is not a problem. ?”

"Heh! Where did you get this set of yin and yang weirdness? You are an old onmyoji when you speak."

Lu Yuan smiled and tapped his sister on the head with his chopsticks, then took a piece of fish and stuffed it into her bowl.

"Eat more, and you don't have to worry about the game. This is a slow game. It doesn't need short-term promotion. All it needs is a hot spot, which can completely reverse its reputation."

"..."

"boast!"

"hey-hey."

…………

What elements are needed for a real "national game"?
Lu Yuan didn't have a definite answer.

But there is one thing he is sure of, that is, no matter how the game sells or how many awards it has won, if it cannot become a memory shared by a generation, then it does not meet the "nomination" requirements of the national game.

"Super Mario", "Contra", "Street Fighter", "Dinosaur Kombat" when the game was still a console arcade patent...

When the term Internet cafe had not yet emerged, "Red Alert", "Interstellar", "Duke Nuke", "Legend of Sword and Fairy" in the "computer room"...

"Counter-Strike", "Warcraft", "Legend", "Miracle", "Journey to the West" in the pre-Internet era...

In the university dormitory, friends and companions open the black version of "DOTA", "League of Legends", "World of Warcraft"...

Each of these was once the memory of a generation, and many people can't help but smile knowingly when they think of it in their dreams at midnight.

The piggy bank that was emptied in order to go to the arcade hall to play a game of Street Fighter; the first Little Bully that was burned because the pirated cassette could not be archived; to grab a CD version of Interstellar Fighting, and because the hard disk version was released And the friends who got along well; the old smoker who chartered planes in the black Internet cafe and his blurry small movies; …

The memory of the game runs through the lives of several generations, and will eventually become the lifetime memory of countless younger generations.

It's amazing, isn't it?
In the era of fast-food entertainment, happiness comes and goes quickly, and it is difficult to leave traces.

But classics may be difficult to copy, but they will never be absent.

What Lu Yuan wants to do now is to slow down the players' increasingly impetuous game mentality and help them find the purest happiness.

Time compression technology is one of the attempts, but it is obviously a temporary solution, not the root cause, and now it is another solution-an attempt of "life-style games".

Integrate games into life, slow down and enjoy the fun.

If anyone in an ordinary game company dared to make such a proposal, he would definitely be fired the next day.Everyone can't wait for players to empty their wallets in the first seven days, and you still talk about slowing down?If you don't fire, who do you fire?

Helplessly, Lu Xun is the boss of the company, so he is not afraid of this, and he is not short of money.

As soon as the Rocket Center was launched, his funds completely exploded. With such a ceiling blocking it, there is really no way to burn money related to games now...

If you can't burn money for the time being, then do things well, and spend a lot of money on new games, but "have little effect".

This kind of return on investment ratio will make a group of people who are waiting to see his jokes laugh until midnight and wake up...
