When the time came to November, a very surprising news suddenly came from the United States.
A class action lawsuit led by several large companies and participated by many small companies and individuals was opened in California, the United States.
The defendant is Youxing Electronic Entertainment. There are many lawsuits, including monopoly litigation, technology patent restriction litigation, and image infringement litigation.
All the lawsuits have been squeezed together, and the sponsors have also launched joint lawsuits. This shows that Youxing Electronic Entertainment has indeed offended some people.
The main sponsors are several film and television company bosses in the film and television industry.
They were the first to express their dissatisfaction with the development of film and television using Unreal Engine.
If a company does not have any lawsuits, it seems that it is not a big company.
No matter what you do is good or bad, there will always be people who want to cause trouble for you. This is something that is simply unavoidable.
Zhu Youxing has been mentally prepared for this. Since his competitors cannot defeat you head-on, they will find ways to defeat you through other means.
So when Matsuhashi Minoru reported this matter to him, he simply asked Matsuhashi Minoru to handle it.
Following a previous experience, the legal department of Youxing Electronic Entertainment is now very strong.
Among them are a legal advisor to two presidents and several well-known patent and copyright lawyers.
Zhu Youxing is a very generous employer, and these lawyers are money-oriented. They especially like lawsuits that do not involve ethics, such as commercial disputes. They can make money and gain fame.
In Zhu Yuxing's previous life, the legal departments of Nintendo, Disney and other companies were known as the strongest on the planet, because they had suffered losses in this area, and then they spared no effort to strengthen this aspect.
With the experience and lessons learned from his predecessors in previous lives, Zhu Youxing will naturally not relax his investment in this aspect.
These companies just want to slow down the pace of Youxing Electronic Entertainment. It is best to kill them directly. If they let them have no time to do film and television special effects, they will gain more enemies for themselves.
But while there are more enemies, there are also allies.
When Tukarev learned about this, he did not discuss it with Zhu Youxing. Instead, he used his own contacts and relationships to find trouble with those film and television companies.
Now he has an in-depth cooperation with Youxing Electronic Entertainment, especially since he sees the potential of video game IPs. If he can obtain the authorization for filming in the future, he may be able to make a lot of money, and he doesn't want to have problems with Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
And if he didn't do something, he would be a bit cold-blooded. Zhu Youxing had helped him a lot before. Although it was a mutually beneficial thing, he must remember this kindness.
Without Zhu Youxing, I would quit the film and television industry if I didn't think so, and would go back to Russia to raise pigs.
There is also the Detroit Film Group, which has also benefited from the Unreal Engine, and is naturally willing to help Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.
Through his influence in the film and television industry, he has at least persuaded a few wavering film and television companies to give up their lawsuits, and even started to use Unreal Engine.
This is really a money-saving tool. To be honest, you would be a fool not to use it.
At the same time, there was a man named Hunter. He was originally Tukarev's competitor, but he did not follow others to sue Takeyusei. Instead, he contacted Matsuhashi Minoru, hoping to obtain the use of Unreal Engine.
Authorization.
If authorized, he would be willing to lobby some people to reduce Zhu Youxing's enemies.
For these people who show kindness, Zhu Youxing will naturally repay them.
He promised to Detroit Pictures that he would continue to provide more detailed special effects production and customization services for them in the next ten years, striving to improve special effects on the basis of cost reduction.
Accept Hunter's request and sign a ten-year licensing contract. The price is the same as Tukarev's, $50 million for ten years, which can be paid annually, and he can also be listed as a high-quality partner like Tukarev.
, provide the best after-sales service.
As for Tukarev, Zhu Youxing, a partner with whom he had a deep cooperation, was more generous.
From now on, we can talk about movie adaptation projects, such as the animated movie adaptation of Pokémon.
It just so happened that TV Tokyo lacked a channel to promote the movie. Takeyusei only needed to connect the two parties, which was equivalent to helping both parties improve their strength, which was very cost-effective.
Legal matters were left to Matsuhashi Minoru and the people in the legal department. After giving back something to those who showed goodwill to Yusei Electronic Entertainment, Yusei returned to delving into the development of video games.
This is my job.
Even though the lawsuit seems to be a headache and distracts a lot of energy, in fact it has no impact on the development team at all.
The game continues to be produced and released step by step.
The Hot Blood series, football and basketball and other ball sports, as well as Dragon Quest 6 and Mario Land 3.
These games will be released together in November, and the sales of each game will steadily exceed 500,000, and Mario and Dragon Quest can easily exceed one million sales.
During this period, several exclusive third-party studios of Youxing Electronic Entertainment developed a number of high-quality games.
The products produced by Youxing must be of high quality.
This sentence has gradually become popular.
Because the games released by Zhuyouxing so far only have different audiences, but there is absolutely no game that everyone dislikes.
Even the games that third parties log on to their consoles are of high quality. Players can just buy them with their eyes closed. There are only games that are not suitable for you and there are no games that are not fun.
This is very scary.
This is like all the movies produced by a film and television company being well-received and successful. This is almost impossible to happen.
In other words, the video game industry is a brand new industry, and people will subconsciously think that the success of Youxing Electronic Entertainment is taken for granted, without any doubt in this regard.
If this were applied to other industries, there would probably be some imagination monsters who could really imagine that Bamboo Traveling Star is a time traveler.
However, most of the games developed by Youxing Electronic Entertainment in recent times are lighter, and their characteristic is that the development cycle is short, and it generally only takes one or two months to develop a game.
It is not a problem for multiple studios to work together and produce five or six games a month.
The reason why we are only developing short-term games now is because most people have been transferred to develop games for the GS1 and GBA game consoles.
At the same time, engineering development kits for gs1 and gba were also distributed to the most loyal first-party game studios.
Allow them to familiarize themselves with the new game console system and prepare in advance for the development of new game consoles and new games.
When the game console is released, we will strive to have more than 20 launch games to satisfy the appetite of the vast majority of players.
