Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

   Chapter 293 Enemies and Friends

   When the time came to November, a very unexpected news came out of the United States.

   A class action lawsuit led by many large companies and participated by many small companies and individuals was held in California, the United States.

   The defendant is Youxing Electronic Entertainment, and the content of the lawsuit is many, including monopoly lawsuits, technology patent restriction lawsuits, and image infringement lawsuits.

   All the lawsuits were crowded together, and the initiators also conducted joint lawsuits, which 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 Unreal Engine's development of film and television.

  A company doesn’t seem to be a big company without a lawsuit.

   No matter what you do, good or bad, there will always be people who want to trouble you. This is unavoidable.

   Zhu Yuxing was already mentally prepared for this. Since the competitors cannot defeat you head-on, they will try their best to defeat you through other means.

   So when Matsuhashi reported this to him, he simply asked Matsuhashi to deal with it.

  Have a previous experience, and now the legal department of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is very strong.

   There is also a legal adviser to two presidents, and many well-known patent and copyright lawyers.

   Zhu Yuxing is a generous employer, and these lawyers put money first, especially in commercial disputes, which do not involve morality.

   The legal departments of Nintendo, Disney and other companies in the previous life of Zhu Yuxing were called the strongest on the surface, because they had suffered losses in this area, and then they did everything to strengthen this aspect.

  With the experience and lessons of the seniors in the previous life, Zhu Yuxing will naturally not relax his investment in this area.

   These companies just want to slow down the rhythm of Youxing Electronic Entertainment. It is best to kill them directly. Whoever lets him do video special effects in his spare time will add enemies to himself for nothing.

   But while increasing enemies, there are also allies.

   When Tukarev found out about this, he did not discuss it with Zhu Yuxing, but through his personal connections and connections, he went back to find trouble with those film and television companies.

   Now he has a deep cooperation with Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, especially since he sees the potential of those IPs of video games. If he can obtain the authorization to shoot in the future, he may also make a lot of money, and he does not want Yuxing Electronic Entertainment to have problems.

   And if you don't do something, you will be a little cold-blooded. Before, Zhu Yuxing helped him a lot. Although it is a matter of mutual benefit, you must also remember this kindness.

  There is no Zhuyouxing, so if he doesn't think well, he will quit the film and television circle and return to Russia to raise pigs.

   There is also the Detroit Film Group, who also benefited from the Unreal Engine, and are naturally willing to help Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

   Through his influence in the film and television industry, at least a few swaying film and television companies gave up the lawsuit, and even started to use Unreal Engine.

   This is really a money-saving artifact, to be honest, it is really an idiot if you don’t use it.

At the same time, there is a man named Hunter. He was originally a competitor of Tukarev, but he did not follow the others to sue Take Yuxing, but contacted Matsuhashi, hoping to get the use of Unreal Engine. authorized.

  If he can get authorization, he is willing to lobby some people to reduce the enemies of Zhu Yuxing.

   For those who release kindness, Zhu Yuxing will naturally reciprocate.

   Commitment to Detroit Pictures that it will continue to provide more detailed special effects production customization services for it in the next ten years, and strive to improve the special effects effects on the basis of cost reduction.

Accept Hunter's request and sign a ten-year licensing contract, the price is the same as that of Tukarev, 50 million US dollars for ten years, can be paid annually, and can also be listed as a high-quality partner like Tukarev , to provide the best after-sales service.

   As for Tukarev, this partner Zhu Yuxing, who was originally a deep cooperation partner, is more generous.

   From now on, we can talk about the project about the adaptation of the movie, such as the adaptation of the Pokémon animation movie.

   It happens that TV Tokyo lacks a channel for movie announcements, and Zhu Yuxing only needs to draw a line, which is equivalent to helping both sides improve their strength, which is very cost-effective.

  Legal affairs were handed over to Matsuhashi and the people in the legal department. After giving something back to those who showed goodwill to Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, Zhu Yuxing went back to study the development of video games.

   This is my job.

   Even though the lawsuits seem to be overwhelming and distracting, in reality the development team has no impact at all.

  The game continues to be produced and released step-by-step.

  Blood series, football and basketball and other ball sports, as well as Dragon Quest 6, Mario Mainland 3.

  These games are all coming 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 Yuxing Electronic Entertainment developed a variety of high-quality games,

  Youxing must be a boutique product.

The phrase    is also gaining popularity.

  Because the games that Zhu Yuxing has released so far only have different audiences, but there has never been a game that everyone does not like.

  Even the games that third parties log on 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 a film and television company shooting all the movies that are very popular, which is almost impossible.

  The video game industry is a brand new industry, and people will subconsciously feel that the success of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is taken for granted, and there is no doubt in this regard.

   If this is put into other industries, it is estimated that there will be some brain-filling monsters who can really make up the mind that Zhuyou Xing is a traveler.

   However, most of the games developed by Youxing Electronic Entertainment in the recent period are more mild, characterized by a short development cycle. Generally, it only takes one or two months to develop a game.

   With multiple studios working together, it is not a problem to produce five or six games a month.

  The reason why we only develop short-cycle games now is that most people have been transferred to develop games for GS1 and GBA consoles.

   There are also engineering development kits for GS1 and GBA distributed to the most loyal first-party game studios.

   Let them also familiarize themselves with the new game console system and prepare for the development of new game consoles and new games in advance.

   When the game console is released, more than 20 games will be launched to satisfy the appetite of the vast majority of players.
