"Have you ever considered logging this game on gs1?"
During the chat, Zhu Youxing asked the question he wanted to ask the most.
Bourne was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said: "Of course I do, why not? gs1 is now the place with the largest number of users. If our game can be logged in on this game console, then more people will pay attention to it, but gs1's authorization
Gold is not something we can afford right now.”
If a game developer wants to log his game on a certain game console, then there is the biggest threshold first, and that is the licensing fee, which can also be called patent money.
This is equivalent to the entry fee to join a certain game console.
The entry fee is generally relatively high, and it is difficult for some small game studios to afford such licensing fees.
Unless their works are really famous, they can rely on the money they earn to log on to other platforms and continue to expand their influence.
When you log in to PC, you don’t need these things. You only need to publish the game on the PC platform, and then players will naturally download and play it.
However, PC will also give rise to another problem, and that is piracy.
Yuxing Electronic Entertainment doesn't really care. Even if the Doom Slayer cracks more than 10 million PCs, it won't affect Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's fundamentals at all.
Zhu Yuxing believed that he had started playing piracy since he was a child, so he maintained this tolerance towards latecomers.
And pirated and cracked games are not all bad for a large company.
This also means that these players are also focusing on their own products, and sometimes the number of users is also a big fortune.
Outsiders estimate that the total number of genuine and pirated copies of Youxing Electronic Entertainment now exceeds about 130 million.
Such a huge number of users is beyond the reach of ordinary companies.
The company valuation brought by this number of users alone has exceeded 10 billion US dollars.
Now as long as Zhu Youxing is willing to let go, there will be countless capitals clamoring to join in with money in the blink of an eye.
And they will all give Youxing Electronic Entertainment a valuation of at least US$20 billion.
Even if Zhuyouxing sells out 1% of its shares, that would be US$200 million, which is enough money to invest in a production similar to ff7.
However, piracy is not a problem for Zhuyouxing, but a small studio like Bourne is very likely to be brought down by piracy.
They might just sell one or two fewer copies of the game and bankrupt the studio.
Looking at this doomsday role-playing game, Zhu Yuxing still likes it very much.
It gave him the same feeling he had when playing Fallout 2.
If he missed this game, he would definitely regret it.
But people in this world know very little about games with this form of expression. When prudent investors see that the game is not a popular one, they will definitely ask for more studio shares, otherwise they will choose a higher quality product.
game studio.
Even though the gaming industry is very hot right now, they still invest very cautiously.
This seems to be the norm among investors in this world.

At this time, Zhu Youxing said: "Patent money is indeed a troublesome thing, but I recently heard that Youxing Electronic Entertainment is working on a new plan, with the purpose of exploring more potential video games. For these
Early-stage game studios with little capital of their own gave concessions to royalties, for example, they would only receive royalties after selling a certain number of games.”
Bourne was stunned: "Ah? Is there one? Why haven't I heard of it?"
It is true that this thing does not happen, but Zhu Youxing is the boss of Youxing Electronic Entertainment. If he says it does, then it will definitely happen.
But this was also Zhu Youxing's sudden and impromptu idea.
He had always wanted to recruit some game development talents, but he had also forgotten that not everyone is willing to work in a company. Many geniuses hope to be independent and become a company under their own control.
game development group.
Even though Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's status can still attract many talents, it is difficult for such more independent talents to be attracted.
He had been immersed in the game development environment before and actually ignored this matter.
Fortunately, it's still too late to save it now.
Zhu Youxing nodded: "Indeed, I am half of the industry. I have some media interviews with... Youxing Electronic Entertainment. The interviews in the past two days did reveal that Youxing Electronic Entertainment has this plan.
To be honest, I think your games are pretty good. Maybe you can take the initiative to contact Yuxing Electronic Entertainment. Even if the plan is not open yet, if there are high-quality games, they should not mind giving the green light in advance."
Zhu Youxing's words immediately made Bourne's mind come alive.
Any chance of free login on gs1?
This is quite rare.
In the early FC era, Youxing Electronic Entertainment naturally did not charge too much royalties at the beginning, and took the bulk of the share.
Later, as more and more game companies joined, Youxing Electronic Entertainment naturally needed to make certain changes. It needed to kick out some guys who just wanted to fish in troubled waters, so as not to affect its own development.
But now it seems that this strategy is not completely correct, because it does block a lot of guys who fish in troubled waters, but it also abandons these potential game developers.
After Zhu Yusing said these words, Bourne's attitude towards Zhu Yusing was obviously completely different.
"Sir, can I ask your name?"
"There's no need to ask for my name. I'm just doing a small favor. Now I'm a player."
"This... I actually want to thank you because you revealed this news to me. This is really important to Darnley and I. If it weren't for you, we might have suffered serious losses."
Zhu Youxing smiled and said: "There is no need to be so exaggerated. Anyway, I don't need to say it. In a few days, it may even be at this exhibition that Youxing Electronic Entertainment will announce new plans."
"But even so, I am still very grateful to you."
Bourne thought for a moment, then immediately took out a notebook from the side, and then wrote his name and a paragraph on it.
'I, Bern Stamper and Tim Darnley now owe you a favor, sir. If there is anything you need from us in the future, please sir, you can use this to find me at any time. I am willing to use all methods to do my best.
Pay back sir.'
Because Zhu Yuxing was wearing sunglasses and a mask, Byrne could only tell through his accent that he was not American.
He also respected Zhu Youxing's choice not to expose it, so he came up with the idea of recording Zhu Youxing's favor in this way.
Then, he tore off the paper very seriously and handed it to Zhu Youxing sincerely.
"Sir, please accept this. Maybe this thing has no value, but I hope that I will still have the opportunity to repay you in the future. Even if we fail to develop the game in the end, no one is interested in our work. In the end, the two of us
If you have no choice but to do odd jobs, as long as you come to me with this at any time, I will repay you immediately."
