Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

   Chapter 359 A Favor

   "Have you considered adding this game to GS1?"

During the    chat, Zhu Yuxing asked the question he wanted to ask the most.

Byrne was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said: "Of course, why not, GS1 is now the place with the largest number of users, if we can log in our games on this game console, then more people will definitely pay attention, but the authorization of GS1 Gold is not something we can afford right now."

   If a game developer wants to register his game on a certain game console, then there is the biggest threshold first, which is the licensing fee, which can also be called the patent fee.

   This is equivalent to the entry fee for joining a certain game console.

   And this entry fee is generally higher, and it is difficult for some small game studios to bear the price of this license fee.

  Unless their works are really famous, it is possible to rely on the money they earn to log on to other platforms to continue to expand their influence.

   On the 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.

   But the PC also creates another problem, which is piracy.

   Youxing Electronic Entertainment doesn't care much. Even if Doom Slayer cracks more than 10 million on PC, it will not affect the basic disk of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment at all.

  Bamboo Yuxing started playing pirated copies since he was a child, and he maintained this tolerance for latecomers.

   And pirated crack games aren't 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 lot of wealth.

   Outsiders estimate that the total users of Youxing Electronic Entertainment's genuine and pirated versions may have exceeded 130 million.

   This huge number of users is beyond the reach of ordinary companies.

   The company valuation brought by this number of users has exceeded 10 billion US dollars.

   Now as long as Zhu Yuxing is willing to let go, in the blink of an eye there will be countless capitals clamoring for money to join in.

   And they will give Yuxing Electronic Entertainment a valuation of at least 20 billion US dollars.

   Even if Zhu Yuxing sells 1% of the shares, that is 200 million US dollars, a big investment similar to FF7.

   However, piracy is not a problem for Zhu Yuxing, but a small studio like Bourne is likely to be dragged down by piracy.

   They might end up going bankrupt by selling a game or two less.

   Looking at this doomsday role-playing game, Take Yuxing still likes it very much.

   It made him feel like he used to play Fallout 2.

   If he misses this game, he will definitely regret it.

However, people in this world know very little about games in this form. When cautious investors see that it is not a popular game work, they will definitely ask for more studio shares, otherwise they will choose a more high-quality game. game studio.

   Even though the game industry is very hot right now, they are still very cautious in investing.

   This seems to be the norm for investors in this world.

At this time, Zhu Yuxing said: "The patent fee is indeed a very troublesome thing, but I actually heard that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is carrying out a new plan recently, the purpose is to explore more potential video games, for these Early-stage game studios with little funds themselves gave preferential treatment to royalties, such as how many more games were sold before the royalties would be collected."

  Byrne was taken aback: "Ah? Is there any? Why haven't I heard of it?"

   It is true that there is no such thing, but Zhu Yuxing is the owner of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment. He said that if there is, there will be.

   But this is also a sudden and impromptu intention of Take Yusei.

He has always wanted to recruit some game development talents, but he also somewhat forgot that not everyone wants to work in a company willingly. Many geniuses hope to be independent and control only by themselves. game development group.

   Even if the status of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment can still attract a lot of talents, it is difficult to attract such more independent talents.

   He has been involved in the game development environment before, and he has neglected this matter.

   But fortunately, it is still too late to recover.

Zhu Youxing nodded: "It is true, I am half an industry insider, and I have some media interviews with... Youxing Electronic Entertainment. The interviews two days ago indeed revealed that Youxing Electronic Entertainment has this plan, saying: Really, I think your games are not bad, maybe you can take the initiative to contact Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, even if the plan has not been opened yet, but if there are high-quality games, they should not mind giving the green light in advance."

   Take Yusei's words made Bourne's mind instantly liven up.

   Chances of free login on GS1?

   This is quite rare.

   In the early FC era, Youxing Electronic Entertainment naturally did not charge too much patent fees at the beginning, and more of it took the bulk of the share.

   Later, as more and more game companies joined, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment naturally needed to make certain changes. It was necessary to kick out some guys who only wanted to fish in troubled waters, so as not to affect their own development.

   But now it seems that this strategy is not completely correct, because it is indeed blocking a lot of guys who fish in troubled waters, but it also abandons these potential game developers.

   After Zhu Yuxing said these words, Byrne's attitude towards Zhu Yuxing was obviously completely different.

   "Sir, can I ask your name?"

   "I don't need to ask my name, I'm just doing a little favor, now I'm a player."

   "This... I actually want to thank you, because you revealed this news to me, which is really important to me and Darnley. If it weren't for you, we would have suffered serious losses."

   Zhu Yuxing said with a smile: "It doesn't 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 Yuxing Electronic Entertainment will announce new plans."

   "But even so, I am very grateful to you."

  Byrne 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 debt of gratitude to Mr. Sir. If there is any need for us in the future, please use this to find me at any time. I am willing to use every means possible. Return Mr. ’

   Because Zhu Yuxing was wearing sunglasses and a mask, Byrne could only tell by his accent that he was not American.

   He also respected Zhu Yuxing's choice of not revealing, so he came up with the idea of ​​jotting down Zhu Yuxing's favor in this way.

   Then, he tore off the paper very seriously, and handed it to Zhu Yuxing sincerely.

"Sir, please accept this, maybe this thing has no value, but I hope that I will still have a chance to repay you in the future, even if we fail in the final game development, no one cares about our work, and finally the two of us If you have to do odd jobs, as long as you use this to find me at any time, I will repay you immediately."
