Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 150 Another interview with an old acquaintance
When Tian Moyun came back from a sweet lunch, he learned that there was an interview.

"Do you know what exactly they want to interview?"

Tian Moyun asked casually.

The secretary on the side quickly replied: "It seems to be related to [Thunder Games]. There are some issues related to the rights and interests of game developers. I want to interview them face to face. I checked. This is a very top-notch newspaper with an entertainment nature. Yes, and have interviewed you several times."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Tian Moyun was thoughtful.

He was very high-profile in several entertainment newspaper interviews, but that doesn't mean he is a high-profile person.

Since he made his fortune, he has received very few interviews in more than a year.

Those who can interview him several times, after thinking about it, are only one family.

"It's probably an acquaintance. Let her come over. Just finish the interview before two o'clock."

Tian Moyun said something casually.

He doesn't want to waste time on interviews, it's different now than before.

In the past, he needed traffic and popularity so that he could get more voice.

But now, he is already one of the strongest entrepreneurs in the country, and what he needs is restraint, not high-profile provocation.

……

One p.m.

The reporter from the entertainment newspaper came.

He is really an acquaintance, Tang Qiuyu who has interviewed him several times.

"Long time no see, Ms. Tang."

Tian Moyun smiled: "I remember, it was a long time ago when you interviewed me last time."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Tang Qiuyu was also helpless.

To be honest-

She didn't really want to come.

Because every time during the interview, Tian Moyun always spoke surprisingly, and he couldn't get to the point for a long time, but there were a lot of thunder points.

The result of this is——

Every time she interviews, it's just like a water-filled paper.

It seems to be a long story, but in fact there is no dry goods at all, which makes people's brain hurt.

……

"This time, I mainly want to consult Mr. Tian with a few questions."

Tang Qiuyu opened his notebook and said softly: "Actually, we didn't intend to interview, because Mr. Tian just did an exclusive interview on [Thunder Magazine], so there should be no need for interviews from other media, but this time is different, there are a lot of interviews. The game company found us, and hope we can interview you with a few questions."

"It's ok."

Tian Moyun spread his hands: "I will be very grateful to Ms. Tang for bringing these questions to me, so that I can have a chance to get in touch with everyone."

"Then our interview will begin."

Tang Qiuyu nodded: "First of all, the first question: [Thunder Games] has not opened up supplier channels so far, is it going to be completely self-produced and sold?"

This is the question that everyone is most concerned about--

What they are most afraid of is that if [Thunder Games] enters the arena, but they don't bring them to play, it will take away a large amount of market share in the end.

That was not their saviour, but their doom.

"Whether it is completely self-produced and sold, this is a bit complicated."

Tian Moyun thought for a while: "To put it simply——"

"The hardware must be self-produced and self-sold. We are more assured of our own technology, and this can reduce costs and give players the biggest discount."

"In terms of game content, there will be some debut and escort masterpieces, and we will do it ourselves."

"The content of the game is completely self-produced and sold, which is unrealistic."

"The idea of ​​[Thunder Games] is: we will take the lead with several heavyweight works, first set up the framework of the game market, and then provide the game content by a third party."

"I understand everyone's doubts and worries, so please rest assured."

"I was born as a game developer, and I know that the core of game content lies in inspiration and creativity."

"Inspiration and creativity are not bound. Only a free soul can create perfect works."

"So, [Thunder Games] never thought of monopolizing these souls, it just provided a suitable environment for everyone."

……

Tang Qiuyu was quite surprised.

She originally thought that Tian Moyun would talk nonsense with her in a very high-profile manner, talking about some "dreams".

but--

According to her question, the other party gave a full and affirmative answer.

No falsification.

"Next is the second question, which is also based on the first question."

Tang Qiuyu opened his notebook, and his voice was rare and serious: "May I ask Mr. Tian, ​​when [Thunder Games] opens up third-party content channels, what kind of cooperation model do you plan to adopt? Will it be like [Leyou], [Strawberry], [ Banana] In that way, formulate overbearing terms of cooperation?"

This is also the question that everyone is most concerned about--

The Big Three have a huge market, but their terms of cooperation are so harsh that they lose human rights.

Especially the squeeze on profits has left a large number of game companies breathless.

Game development companies didn't care about cooperation agreements before.

But now, everyone has started to study the law.

"This is definitely not going to happen."

Tian Moyun smiled: "I just couldn't tolerate their revised terms of cooperation, so I left the game industry."

"There is a good saying: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

"It means: things that I don't want myself should not be borne by others. I don't like that kind of overbearing cooperation agreement, and I won't adopt it."

"The content of the cooperation agreement—"

"Currently, the legal department of the group is still in the process of formulation and has not been officially released."

"But I can say a few key points in advance to reassure everyone."

"First--"

"Games submitted by a third party to [Thunder Games] will be trial-operated in the 'Didu District' after review. During the trial operation period, all proceeds will be handed over to the content provider. If the trial operation goes well, it will spread to the whole country region, [Thunder Games] will distribute 50% of the net income to content providers."

"second--"

"Third parties do not need to pay deposits and deposits. Businesses such as game cassette production, operation and promotion are provided by [Thunder Games] for free. If there is a loss in game operation, it will be fully borne by [Thunder Games], and the minimum income of the third party is 0 yuan , there is no provision for compensation for damages.”

"third--"

"Games provided to [Thunder Games] need to sign an exclusive licensing agreement. The licensing period is 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, and permanent. Of course, if you want to withdraw the license midway, it is also possible, but you need to pay high compensation , I hope everyone will carefully consider this point.”

"fourth--"

"The development cost of 16-bit games is very high, and most small and medium-sized enterprises may not be able to afford it. [Thunder Games] will set up an exclusive investment department. After you submit the specific information, there will be senior game designers to evaluate whether it has potential. So decide how much investment you can get.”

"In terms of game investment, [Thunder Games] only invests in the game itself, not the game company, and it will not interfere with the basic operation and management of the game company. Everyone can rest assured. In addition, anyone who applies for an investment agreement, Unification defaults to permanent authorization, please keep this in mind.”

……

Tang Qiuyu couldn't help but nodded when Tian Moyun said these four points.

Before she came to interview, she also did her homework.

It is very clear how harsh the cooperation terms of the three giants of the game can be, which makes people's scalp tingle.

And [Thunder Game] here——

It can be said that it is extremely loose, except for the "exclusive authorization of the game", everything else is beneficial to the game company.

For example:
During the trial operation period, all revenues belong to the game company.

During the national regional operation period, 55% of the net income after deducting the operation is divided.

[Thunder Games] will bear all costs for operating expenses, game cassette production, transportation, and distribution.

There is a loss in game operation, and the minimum income of the game company is 0 yuan, so there is no phenomenon of loss.

When the development cost is too high, you can apply for [Thunder Game] to invest in the game itself and share the risk.

These five major agreements——

Compared with the domineering terms of the Big Three, it is simply a boon for game companies.
