Chapter 216: Unstoppable

If a latecomer wants to surpass the seniors, the most effective way is to spend money. Other than that, he can cultivate his own partners.

Just like Pinxixi, in order to catch up with Big Brother, it launched tens of billions of subsidies, attracted millions of users to take a stab at it, and created a problem of the century. What the hell is going on with the last 0.01

break!

The same is true for Snow Mountain. If you want to compete with Nintendo, Sega, etc. after launching Snow Mountain Online, you have to either spend money to poach the game suppliers of these console platforms, or you can spend money to cultivate Microsoft Xbox.

That's how it works, it just takes a little time.

Song Yang looked at Ken Williams and Roberta, "ICQ headquarters can provide Xueleshan with US$300 million in funds to implement the ten-year "Dawn of the Game Industry Plan" to provide small and medium-sized enterprises with

Game manufacturers and independent game studios provide funds and resources!"

The Snow Mountain version of the "Dawn Plan" sounds really bluffing. It will cost US$300 million at the outset, which can be divided into ten years. That is, US$30 million in support funds a year, and will be implemented for one or two years.

, if it works, keep doing it. If it doesn’t work, well, the project leader can’t be found...

"In addition," the money has already been spent, if you don't do something fancy, how can you afford the tens of millions of dollars every year? "Xueleshan can implement a global game award TGA, which can select the best game of the year and the best developer.

Best independent game, best creative award, etc.!”

Song Yang's words attracted the attention of the entire audience. Whether it was the Williams couple, Mike Mowaimi, G Fat and others, they were all attracted by Song Yang's words.

"Xueleshan promotes the TGA Awards. In addition to awards, it can also set up a hall of fame to make TGA the Oscar of the gaming industry. Let every game in the world be proud of winning TGA, and let TGA's Hall of Fame witness the game.

The history of the industry!”

Not to mention other people, when Ken Williams heard the words TGA Game Hall of Fame, his face turned red instantly. Roberta, who was familiar with her husband, knew that Ken Williams’ heartbeat and blood rate started to rise at this time.

This is incredible, don’t ask Roberta how she knew...

For a person who has achieved financial freedom, what he fears most is not how to make more money, but the fear of being forgotten and everything he has ever done.

Hall of Fame exists in all walks of life. The basketball and football hall of fame in the sports industry are the most eye-catching. However, there is no hall of fame in the game industry, but now, there may be a hall of fame in the game industry.

Who can become the first person to enter the Game Hall of Fame? Ken Williams does not want to miss this opportunity. Ken Williams knows that for a person of his stature, once the TGA Hall of Fame appears, maybe

Entering the Hall of Fame is probably more tempting than earning more dollars!

Mike Mowaimi, Gabe Newell and others are also somewhat interested. They are not yet old enough to consider entering the Hall of Fame, but who doesn’t want their achievements and life experiences to be regarded as legends and respected by their peers?

Looking up to?!

Now Ken Williams began to understand why Song Yang was able to make such a big splash in the gaming and telecommunications industries. This lively craft was really trendy.

Internet digital game platform, Game Dawn Project, TGA Awards, Game Hall of Fame, this old sow wears underwear, one set after another, as if a cannon shot out halfway, it is really hard to guard against.

Ken Williams doesn’t know if everyone in the Internet industry is so good at playing games. No wonder the Internet can create such a big momentum now. Once these plans appear in the game industry, Williams doesn’t know whether the game industry will be changed.

, but it is certain that it will be turned upside down.

Ken Williams, whose heart was filled with enthusiasm, felt like he was back to the feeling he had when he first established Sierra. He didn't want to retire unless the TGA Awards Ceremony and the Game Hall of Fame were held. Of course, the first

The current TGA Hall of Fame candidate, if Ken Williams is thick-skinned, he can nominate himself and Roberta.

Already in matryoshka mode, Song Yang stopped acting and said directly, "Xueleshan's Dawn Project can also be combined with the TGA Awards. The winning TGA game company can directly receive the million-dollar bonus from the Dawn Project!

"

Whether it is the Dawn Project or the TGA Awards, they are all designed to bring more game manufacturers to Xueleshan's chariot. Once TGA becomes the authority in the game industry and has the right to speak, then Xueleshan will become the leader in the game industry.

Rule makers.

To paraphrase a sentence, that is, the referees, judges, media, game manufacturers, and game users in the game industry are all people from Xueleshan. What can Sony and Nintendo do to fight with Xueleshan? The two flowers are blooming and they are tactically leaning back gif...

"If you want the TGA Awards and the Hall of Fame, then I'm afraid it's not enough to rely on Xueleshan alone. You need to join forces with other game manufacturers, including Sony, Nintendo, Ubisoft, EA and other companies, and there is no way around it!"

Ken Williams said, unless you act like a monkey behind closed doors, if you want to make TGA an authority in the gaming industry, you must invite Sony and Nintendo to the scene. The history of the gaming industry over the past few decades has, to a certain extent,

, is the glorious history of the three major game console manufacturers. By bypassing them, there will be nothing left in the game industry.

Just like the Oscars, if the seven major Hollywood film companies are excluded, what is left of the Oscars? Isn’t the Oscar just a bragging rights show for the major Hollywood film companies? Over the past few decades, more than half of the Oscar awards have been won by the seven major film companies.

If it is taken away and not allowed to be blown by the seven major film companies, then what is the meaning of the existence of the Oscars?

The same goes for TGA. A large part of future game awards will be awarded to game manufacturers such as Nintendo, Ubisoft, EA and Japan. This is inevitable.

And if you invite Sony, Nintendo, etc. to participate, you must give them a large part of the voice and let them become TGA judges or the like. Otherwise, it will be difficult for TGA to become the Oscars of the gaming industry.

Song Yang knew that what Ken Williams said was true, but Song Yang did not want the tga he had worked so hard to build to end up being a bragging tool for a Japanese game manufacturer.

After thinking for a moment, Song Yang said, "Of course we need to invite other game manufacturers to join, but I think that Microsoft, Yahoo and other manufacturers should also join. The future game industry will not be able to bypass the Internet. In addition, in addition to the council that manages TGA

, in addition to Xueleshan being responsible, the judges of the annual TGA Awards should adopt a rotating system, and invite game media people, theater designers, independent game producers, etc. from different regions to serve as judges every year!"

Song Yang is secretly trying to create obstacles for Nintendo, EA and other major game companies, preventing them from taking over Snow Leshan and controlling TGA's judging panel. Anyway, it takes turns every year, so no one can take advantage of it.

Regarding the establishment of TGA and the Hall of Fame, Ken Williams is very motivated and has put forward many opinions. He wishes they could be established now.

After talking with Ken Williams for a long time and confirming the plan, Song Yang looked at Blizzard and other people, "So, Blizzard, V Club and R-Star, is there anything that the ICQ headquarters needs to do?"

Song Yang is asking Gabe Newell and others to set their own conditions. If there are no difficulties, icq will have to start working as a team to develop games.

Several people looked at each other, and Blizzard was the first to speak. Mike Mowaimi and Alan Adhan exchanged looks, "Boss, Blizzard needs funds and more manpower. Blizzard is now

There is really a shortage of manpower to develop several game projects such as "Diablo", "StarCraft", and "Warcraft 3"!"

Mike Mohuaimi plucked up the courage and complained to Song Yang. In the era of CUC International, Blizzard complained, but CUC International didn't care at all. It just forced Blizzard to finish the game quickly and sell the game.

Song Yang nodded, glanced at Erin, and then said to the Blizzard team, "All the research and development costs for these Blizzard games are borne by the icq headquarters. The most important publishing task of Xueleshan this year is publishing."

"Diablo", I hope it can appear in front of all users and players!"

Xueleshan, which was acquired by icq, also needs to make a turnaround and announce to all people in the game industry that Xueleshan is back. There is no more suitable game than "Diablo".

After Mike Mowaimi and others opened their mouths, people from V Club followed suit. Gabe Newell said to Song Yang, "Boss, Valve already has a game plan. We are ready to develop a brand new game."

FPS game, a new FPS shooting game that surpasses "Quake"!"

Gabe Newell and Harrington vowed, but Ken Williams frowned upon hearing this, "Beyond Quake?!"

It is no exaggeration to say that "Quake" is the ceiling of current shooting games. Whether it is game settings, image quality or operability, it is an era ahead of other similar games. It even appeared suddenly because of this game.

Created something that had never appeared in the game industry before, a 3D game engine.

There is no game engine in the world, and there is no concept of FPS shooting games. All this is due to the great man in the game industry, John Carmack, the father of FPS, who is a great figure who has shouldered the responsibility of an entire gaming era.

How powerful is John Carmack? He developed the world's first game engine on his own for a game. He carried 3D graphics technology alone and advanced for more than ten years. He made 3D games appear in front of the world for the first time.

, allowing game fans to experience that there is such a game.

With the series of games "Wolfenstein 3D", "Doom", and "Quake", the game industry has suddenly added a type of FPS. Last year, Microsoft released the Windows 95 system and took advantage of Carmack's popularity to promote the new system.

It’s obvious.

Now I hear that Gabe Newell, who is just starting out, wants to challenge Carmack. It would be damning if Ken Williams didn't have any doubts. This is like a novice whiteboard player who wants to challenge all the players with the highest level in the server.
