The release of Doom caused some abnormalities in the American market.
Of course this anomaly is a good thing for video games.
More and more people who had little interest in video games before are starting to play them.
I have to say that the United States really has a deep attachment to firearms.
First-person shooting games naturally have certain advantages in this country.
The appearance of Doom Slayer immediately became the darling of the American market.
Originally, the sales of SFC began to weaken due to the sales of the cheap game console FC. However, sales quickly increased again due to the release of Doom, and they were once again close to being out of stock.
This is not enough.
The per capita rate of personal PCs in the United States is very high, so they are naturally a huge group of potential customers.
When Doom was released on PC, countless players were greeted with a strong interest in Doom.
And these PC players are so crazy that they can play Doom day and night, almost tirelessly.
Some people have even reached a point where it starts to affect their lives slightly.
However, Zhu Youxing had already expected this.
In its original world, Doom was also very popular when it was first released.
This is just history repeating itself.
This is very good news for Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
Just the first week's sales of Doom alone quickly increased the revenue of Zhuyouxing by hundreds of millions of dollars, which is really scary.
Two million dollars, the price of a game reaches 69 dollars. After excluding the physical costs, the profit in the first week has reached nearly 70 million US dollars.
With such popularity, Doom spreads like a virus.
'Hey, have you heard of Doom? That shooting game?'
'What? Never heard of it? Then I'll give you a good recommendation. This is a super exciting game. If you don't play it, you're not a real man!'
There are a lot of these kinds of comments on the Internet. Although these words are somewhat offensive, their influence is also amazing.
With this kind of viral spread, Doom's sales are not over after the first week's satisfactory sales, and it continues to sell at a very crazy speed.
Sales in the second week actually remained at two million.
In two weeks, the profit exceeded 100 million US dollars. This kind of earning power is very scary.
Of course, the most terrifying thing is the influence of Doom on the thinking of American people.
More and more people are unable to live a normal life because of Doom.
This is not an exaggeration at all, but some people are really so addicted that they forget to eat and work.
What's more, in some companies, everyone from the boss to the employees is playing Doom.
Their ongoing work projects have come to a standstill as a result.
This is the horror of Doom.
Impact life.
In some American states, officials seem to be aware of this.
Of course, they did not discover this on their own initiative, but they themselves fell into it, which indirectly caused problems in their government work.
And some civil servants under their command sometimes make typographical errors when submitting work materials, and enter some nouns from Doom into the work documents, affecting the judgment of others.
"Governor, you should see this."
In the office of the governor of a certain state in the United States, an assistant walked in with a solemn expression holding a document.
As soon as he entered the office, he heard the familiar sound of gunfire coming from the governor's office.
But the sound soon stopped.
"Huh? Why didn't you knock on the door? Forget it, what's the matter? I'm a little busy now, so finish it quickly."
The assistant looked dumbfounded.
He seemed to realize what the governor had just been doing.
The governor was also playing Doom just now.
And what he wanted to report was related to the Doom Slayer.
At this time he was a little hesitant.
However, he still mustered up the courage to step forward and hand over his statistical data to the governor.
"Governor, this is the data I recently investigated. A video game product is affecting us."
"Electronic games?"
The governor is very sensitive to this title now, and at the same time he feels a little guilty, because he was also playing Doom just now.
He carefully opened the document submitted by his assistant and read it carefully.
Then, his expression became solemn.
In the document, the influence brought by the game Doom in recent times is recorded in detail.
The most obvious one is that many people are addicted to it, which affects their lives, work and studies.
This has a great impact on the United States.
If such influence continues to be ignored, perhaps this game may become like some kind of contraband, affecting the entire society.
In order to make the information he collected more convincing, the assistant also deliberately found some examples that were related to the impact on life after playing Doom. Some employees of the power supply bureau even had power supply problems because they played Doom at work.
Mistakenly, the power in an area fluctuated violently.
There are also local companies where all employees are playing, which has caused several businesses of the company to come to a standstill. The owners are very dissatisfied and are planning to sue the company. If the lawsuit is successful, the company will also go bankrupt. In this way
There will be a lot of unemployed people as a result, which is something that many people don't want to see.
The governor became more and more frightened when he saw the news.
He can be considered an elite in the United States. Even he, an elite, was so obsessed with it just now that he almost forgot about his job.
Then let alone those ordinary people whose per capita intelligence is not very high.
Their resistance to video games will definitely be lower.
This is indeed not a good sign.
At this time, he finally began to look at the document seriously, and then looked up at his personal computer.
On his personal computer, there is still a picture of the Doom Slayer killing enemies.
"Governor, the impact of this game is very serious. I suggest that we should consider controlling it now. Moreover, you see this is something created by a company from Japan. I have to doubt the ambitions of the Japanese company. They may
He has his own hidden secret."
The following paragraph is of course just nonsense.
But people also easily believe this.
If used properly, it can indeed pose a threat to Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
A state government will openly confront a Japanese game company. The result is naturally obvious. The Japanese company cannot win. Who knows, the governor can also gain some reputation for this.
In the name of the people, he combated the influence of foreign culture and brought people's lives back on track.
