Chapter 390 390. The darkest day in the history of gaming

Qiao Mu was unaware of these discussions.

He just went to work in the office and surfed the Internet. He could see that "My Civilization Simulator" was being discussed and the number of downloads increased dramatically.

There are also some anecdotes in the middle.

On the third day after the game was opened for download, the game’s fame spread abroad.

But the problem is that Qiao Mu didn't consider foreign audiences, so there is no foreign language version.

But the game itself is very attractive, which has led to many interested foreign players playing with translators, and there is also a so-called English group that is ready to translate the game into English.

When Qiao Mu saw it, he asked Xiao Ai to translate it into more than thirty languages, and also created an official webpage for external networks.

A week later, the game's downloads exceeded 8 million, heading towards the goal of 10 million.

[To you two thousand years from now, completion level: 51%]

The scene completion level also improved very quickly. Qiao Mu felt it and felt that the second generation update patch could be released.

However, according to Xiao Ai's suggestion, he did not update immediately, but decided to let the game's popularity ferment again.

Nowadays, there are many flower jobs online.

In addition to normal gamers, people from other fields have also gradually come into contact with this game.

For example, a report that Qiao Mu saw now.

This is an article on the public account of Jiangcheng University School of History. It is reported that two master students studying prehistory learned about the game and applied parameters to imitate a primitive human civilization. By studying the development of this human civilization, Wrote a thesis and was recognized by the professor.

There are also some film and television companies that use games to imitate real scenes and edit many short plays. These short plays have strong special effects, and the "actors" have excellent acting skills and have a high number of clicks.

Moreover, in the story mode, different forms of civilization develop according to different basic conditions of the world. The characters implanted by the player have a high degree of freedom. They can be an adventurer with an arrow in the knee in the world of swords and magic. You can also become a legend in the post-apocalyptic zombie trend, and you can also travel through cyberpunk high-rise buildings as a robber, which covers almost most role-based adventure games.

Qiao Mu also saw a tree hole article. The poster said that he was a master's student in sociology. He said that he used the urbanized civilization in the game to conduct sociological experiments, achieved a lot of results, and was preparing to publish a paper.

It can be said that due to the high degree of fidelity of this game, those outside the circle download the game not only for entertainment, but also to try to assist their research through the game.

There is another report that is also very interesting. Some programmers wanted to study the game code and find out what big model the AI ​​used in it. However, after they unpacked it, they found that they could not understand the code at all. The programming method used in this game has never been seen before, and it is incomprehensible. It is not based on the logic of the earth. Let alone reproducing it, you can't even read the code.

Qiao Mu looked at this happily. He refreshed the page and soon saw another report.

"The Darkest Day in the History of Domestic Gaming".

The accompanying picture is the game screen of "My Civilization Simulator".

Qiao Mu immediately became interested and clicked in to taste it.

This article first introduces the game "My Civilization Simulator", and then begins to analyze the impact of this game on the gaming industry.

For example, free games will interfere with players' judgment of normal game prices, thereby affecting the pricing of the entire game industry, lowering the profits of the entire industry, and eventually leading to the bankruptcy of game companies and the collapse of the entire industry.

For another example, because "My Civilization Simulator" includes many types of games with very low repetition, it will occupy a lot of players' leisure time, which will result in players not being able to take time to play other games, or watching short-term games. Video will indirectly cause all entertainment industries, including games, to be severely hit. Countless people will be laid off at that time, causing great turmoil in the industry.

Also, the article also mentioned that the essence of this free promotion model is to harvest the market. When other game manufacturers are forced to death, the producers of "My Civilization Simulator" will start charging for updates and do whatever they want. Players should not For the sake of petty gains, sacrifice the good and the bad.

Finally, the author calls on the producers of "My Civilization Simulator" to stand up and make the game open source, which can promote the development of the entire industry. Otherwise, major manufacturers will be called on to boycott the game.

"You must be sick."

Qiao Mu couldn't help but worry about the author's mental state. Maybe he was controlled by some abnormality, otherwise he wouldn't be able to write such an outrageous article.

He immediately asked Xiao Ai to investigate the situation of the author of this article, and soon confirmed that the author simply received money to write a black manuscript and was not involved in anomalies.

Qiao Mu felt relieved.

He read the article carefully again and felt that some of the statements were not completely unreasonable.

For example, if you want to bring down the global gaming industry, all you need is a company spending hundreds of millions to make an excellent game for everyone to play for free.

After all, the development cost of a masterpiece is only a few hundred million U.S. dollars. Short video companies like those can generate tens of billions of revenue in a month. If you spend a month's money to directly overturn the game industry, then everyone will watch the short video. Isn't it perfect?

Also, the author asked for open source games, which Qiao Mu thinks is quite good. After all, he is not trying to make money, but simply wants to improve the completion of the scene. If other games use his code, then all games will have his code. The gene of the scene will definitely increase the completion rate and efficiency faster.

Qiao Mu thought for a moment that this was the truth, and he immediately asked Xiao Ai to publish all the source code on the official website.

Unfortunately, just like the results unpacked by programmers, these source codes are completely uninterpretable at the current level of human technology, let alone reproduced. Many people feel that Qiao Mu is playing a trick on everyone, but there are senior Hackers came out and said that this was indeed the source code of the game, and the public was in an uproar.

After doing this, Qiao Mu didn't promote anything. He kept his merit and fame. He asked Xiao Ai to call the user's data. The main reason was not to forget his original intention. After all, he made this game in the first place to study the formation of foreign lands. process.

Because of these experiences in the school city, Qiao Mu also became curious about what a foreign land is and what the nature of the God's Chosen game is. Therefore, he pooled everyone's wisdom and wanted to find the answer through a simulation game.

Over the past week, players have done various activities and created countless worlds, some of which are somewhat similar to the foreign lands that Qiao Mu knows.

For example, Xiao Ai handed over one now, which was randomly rolled out after the player set the initial conditions. He named this world [Wasteland].

Qiao Mu looked into it.
