582 Subtle influence

582

Hold a video game football match, and the winner will be rewarded with free drinks in the bar for a year.

This was the idea that came to mind from the bar owner's son.

In addition to being a loyal gamer, he is also a person who likes e-sports, a new and trendy thing.

He will be the first to watch every StarCraft match on the Internet.

And when Super Soccer Tournament was officially released and he played the game for the first time, he was deeply attracted.

Also attracted were many old friends who came here to drink every day.

These guys seemed a little dismissive of FIFA football games before. They still felt that such games had no sense of reality.

The cheers in the FIFA football game are very stiff and fake, and the players' movement training is actually a little unsmooth.

At the time, they were just curious about such a new form of entertainment, but soon they were no longer interested. Such games were not enough to arouse their interest.

But when Carson was willing to share his game console in the bar so that more people could experience another game called Super Football, the old guys in the bar and the gangsters were completely

I didn't want to leave the bar.

And this also caused the bar's drink sales to increase steadily.

Not only that, but those young gangsters who usually like to smash, smash, and rob when they have nothing to do are now very peaceful.

Because of the emergence of video games, their energy seems to have been completely absorbed, and they have forgotten about fighting.

So it can be seen from this that these gangsters who often fight do not really like fighting. They are just too idle and have no other way to entertain themselves. Video games have completely suppressed their previous urge to fight, or in other words, completely consumed them.

They have no interest in fighting anymore, and now all they can think about is how to play the fun Super Football Tournament.

Today, I, the Bayern Tigers, are going to kill you Barcelona weakling!

Of course, this group of people is not always so peaceful.

The hidden violent nature still occasionally makes them angry when they fail in the game.

They want to vent their anger and then go out to cause destruction.

One time a guy did just that.

Because the team he controlled lost, he was so angry that he slammed the controller on the TV screen.

The TV screen was black and smoking, and the handle was smashed.

Then no one got to play games that day.

Then, the guy who broke the game console in anger was severely beaten by a group of other angry people, including a few very honest customers who also stepped in to help him.

This shows how much public outrage the game console caused when it was damaged.

In the end, the bar owner didn't say much and spent money to buy a new, bigger TV and a few spare controllers. To be honest, this small loss was compared to the previous group of guys who liked to fight every day.

What happened is simply not worth mentioning.

Then no one dares to do anything to game consoles and TVs.

They can now play games in front of the TV very honestly, and no one will go beyond their limits.

It was at this time that the young bartender thought of giving the football game an entire tournament.

Of course, the gimmick of the competition is just to add some attraction and income to your bar.

But I didn't expect that all the men, women and children in the town who were interested in football would come to the bar.

There was milk for the children, sweet cider for the women, and good beer for the men and old men.

For a time, the bar's turnover once again rose to a whole new dimension.

For people in small towns, the feeling of watching a familiar team win under their own control in a video game is completely different.

It's like the team belongs to you and you are the soul of the team.

Thanks to Super Soccer Contest's polishing of every detail, this football game has gained an unparalleled sense of reality. No one will find Super Soccer Contest boring after playing it. This is the charm of Super Soccer Contest.

The rapid increase in sales naturally excited Matsuhashi, who was already stationed in Europe.

This is a small stage of success. In the past few weeks when the sales were not as good as FIFA, she had always been very calm. She never responded much to the bombardment from her opponents.

But things are different now.

Football games have gradually become a talking point for people in Europe. They are amazed that there is such an interesting new form of entertainment in the world. The teams can be controlled by themselves, and these teams are also based on real teams. This

The sense of immersion is even stronger.

Immediately afterwards, Minoru Matsuhashi began to use the money he earned to invest heavily in publicity again.

Don't look at Yoo's early FIFA. There was a lot of publicity, which caused sales to skyrocket.

But now Youxing Electronic Entertainment has continuous capital injection, and the money earned is used for publicity and continues to expand its influence.

Gradually, people began to talk about the Super Football Tournament.

And these are all subtle. Unless there are very professional market researchers, it is really difficult to notice such invisible changes.

As for Nagao Yu, he continues to be immersed in his previous success and has not recovered.

Maybe by the time he really comes to his senses, it may be too late.

Immediately afterwards, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's second game for the European market was officially released, and that was Counter-Strike.

This time Counter-Strike is not only released on home console platforms, but also on PC platforms.

Like the United States, Europe also has a very large share of personal computers.

And the DOS system used here is also the Morgan Group.

Through cooperation with the Morgan Group, the optimization of Counter-Strike is very good. You don’t need high computer performance to easily play the game of Counter-Strike.

Through the Battle.net system, you can also compete with players around the world in real time, which also allows Counter-Strike to quietly open up a second battlefield.

With the previous Super Football Tournament as a foreshadowing, Counter-Strike's first-week sales were significantly better than before.

As of the end of the first week, Counter-Strike's sales reached 930,000, of which 500,000 were for home consoles and the other 430,000 were for personal PC platforms.

This time, the combined first-week sales directly surpassed those of Yoo’s shooting games.

The advantages of multi-platform seem to be slowly emerging.

And this time, Minoru Matsuhashi had much more ammunition than before.

With a stroke of his pen, Takeyusei ordered all the money earned from selling games in Europe to be handed over to the European branch for management. This was equivalent to directly handing over a large amount of money to Matsuhashi Minoru and telling her to spend it as she pleased.

If it's gone, ask me for it again.
