Chapter 606 Street Basketball(1/2)
Miracle's development meeting ended after half a month.
"Still have any questions?"
Everyone present shook their heads. Liu Zhiyuan's explanation was so detailed that if they had the funds themselves, they could even get a share of the online gaming era.
"Then I announce that the development of Miracle has officially begun."
Liu Zhiyuan looked at everyone here, and they were all people who were firmly tied to the Han Dynasty.
The era of online games is really out of his control. Although the platform for online games is computers, the Han Dynasty cannot monopolize the computer market anyway.
If his explanation in the past half month were leaked, it would completely create a new gaming giant.
The development difficulty of online games is not low, but compared with stand-alone masterpieces, they are not at the same level at all.
What is really difficult is the ideas and money to develop online games!
Developing an online game itself does not require much money, but if you want to have an online game that supports a world server, the investment is very scary.
Do you really think that future game manufacturers will be willing to make partition settings?
It’s not that they want to, it’s that the technology is not up to it.
The highest number of people in a server partition in later generations is 7,000 people, while the maximum number of people in each zone of World of Warcraft is 4,000. If you exceed 4,000, you need to queue up.
Under Miracle's current most ideal conditions, the number of people in each district will not exceed 500.
Although partitioning has certain benefits, overall it is more advantageous for all players to come together.
Online games are all about being crowded and lively, otherwise why would there be such a thing as a ghost zone?
"Taika Tomobu."
"exist."
"From today on, the resources of the Han Dynasty will be tilted towards you. If you have any difficulties, you can ask other groups for help."
"yes!"
Tomonobu Ohga first bowed deeply towards Liu Zhiyuan, and then bowed to others present.
"The Miracle Development Team hopes that all seniors will give you your advice in the future."
The miracle is that it is not difficult to develop, but it is not something that his own small company can develop. Liu Zhiyuan only gave him one year.
In 1997, Miracle had to be launched into a global public beta.
"Contact the communication company more. No one will play online games with laggy internet speeds."
"yes."
Don’t worry too much about internet speed, Han Dynasty will launch ADSL broadband next year!
It's not the ADSL from Bell Labs, which was preceded by XDSL.
Why hasn't there been any big movement from communications companies in the past few years? Why haven't they even released new mobile phones?
Because they are working on their own ADSL broadband!
This is truly astonishing income. It is much faster and more abundant than selling games. There is no way he can give up this part of the business to others.
Once the research and development of ADSL broadband is completed, communication companies will start to make efforts, because the 2G era is coming!
Next year will be the year when Han Dynasty’s products explode.
The biggest outbreak is undoubtedly the communication companies.
In terms of broadband costs and communication costs, it is way ahead of its peers, and these are all money! A lot of money!
In fact, the Han Dynasty's strongest company in the world has never been its main business, games, but this separated communications company.
Although he has unified the home game industry, it does not mean that there is a big technological gap between others and the Han Dynasty. It is just because he has a monopoly and does not give other newcomers room to survive.
But once the era of online games arrives, there are actually many companies in the world that are capable of developing online games.
But the Han Dynasty really took the lead in the communications industry and had no rivals.
In later generations, Huawei's global base station share was more than 30%, but now, the Han Dynasty's communications company's global base station share is as high as 90% or more!
There is no way, this is an industry purely about throwing money. Whoever spends more money will occupy a larger market.
Why don't other communications companies, especially Ericsson, spend money?
The returns were too low. For this reason, the communication companies of the Han Dynasty directly achieved a dominant position in this industry that no one could shake.
The outside world said he was crazy, but who would have thought that the communications industry would develop into a necessity in human life in the future?
The money he invested today will be recovered tenfold or a hundredfold in the future, and by then, it will be useless no matter how jealous others are. He will not let this part of the business go out no matter what.
Isn’t it just throwing money away?
With the blood transfusion of the Han Dynasty system and the communications company's own profits, he wanted to see who could overtake him.
People at the R&D meeting were leaving one after another, and Liu Zhiyuan sat there thinking deeply.
To be honest, he doesn't want to develop Miracle, or even World of Warcraft.
Because there will definitely be people who will enter the gaming industry again. Although Zhulong Computer will occupy a large part of the market, there are many other brands of computers.
People can log in to other brands of computers, and it is impossible for him to block those online games, which will cause the Han Dynasty to lose many users.
The reason why it can completely dominate the home console market is because of games. A home console is just a game console and has no other use than playing games.
On home consoles, games are more important than hardware. Games determine whether a console can make players buy it.
But computers are different. In addition to playing games, computers have other functions. The most important thing is that the profits of the computer industry are not comparable to those of home consoles.
Those computer manufacturers will not give up easily. A price war may come soon, and it would not be surprising even if other manufacturers join forces.
If he can't block the computer market, someone will inevitably develop online games, and the profits there will be crazy.
As long as the quality of the game is up to standard, there will definitely be players who will play it.
This is one of the reasons why he insists that online games are free, because if they are free, it means that online games will lose a large part of their revenue.
Without benefits, no one will pay attention to online games.
But at the same time, he has brought the era of krypton gold. Don’t treat other people as fools. The next online games can be sure to be all krypton gold games.
This is a pit, a sinkhole he dug for other companies preparing to enter the online game industry. If you fall into it, you will not be able to climb out!
Krypton gold games are not so easy to operate in this era. He has countless experiences and is cautious, let alone those companies that only rely on guesswork.
Once you fail to grasp the degree of krypton gold, that game will die at an alarming rate.
Such examples abound in later generations, but the cost of game development at that time, especially pure krypton gold games, was outrageously low.
But that’s not the case in this era. If a game dies in a short period of time, many game companies may not even be able to recoup their development costs.
But isn’t that how experience is accumulated bit by bit?
In a few years, many people will understand the gameplay of krypton gold games, and by then Han Dynasty will definitely have some share of online games.
The era of online games is beyond his control. This is the normal development of history. If there were no online games from the Han Dynasty, there would be online games from other companies.
Let him divide as much as he can, his only advantages are money and those ideas.
Not long after the Miracle R&D meeting ended, Liu Zhiyuan received a call from FIFA.
"Hello Liu."
"Hello, Mr. Havelange."
The call from the President of FIFA immediately made him think of live football.
Because the Han Dynasty had nothing to do with football except this game, and he didn't buy any football teams.
Although he was able to run a galactic battleship by relying on foresight, the Han Dynasty was so busy with things that he had no energy to engage in football.
"I have communicated with the heads of all top leagues and I wonder if you can make the game PES free?"
He knew that other than this matter, such a big shot would not come to him.
"Of course, we will pay for the buyout."
"Can you tell me the reason? There should be no shortage of fans in football, right?"
Stern bought out NBALIVE to add new fans. Although every industry needs to constantly replenish fresh blood, football doesn't have to be like this, right?
"No one can say no to more fans, can they?"
João Havelange is really interested, and the impact of NBA LIVE is far greater than Liu Zhiyuan thought.
Because of NBALIVE, the NBA has gained hundreds of thousands of new fans in a short period of time, although most of them are fans who don't even understand the rules.
But, these are fans too.
After researching the previous version of Live Football, he found that there were a lot of new fans added because of this game.
"All right."
You can buy it out, even football games can buy it out. This kind of game developed based on reality actually has big shortcomings.
tedious!
