Chapter 6 Life is easy to get old
While Vilford and Wanhu were thinking of various strategies for their gunfight game, players did not think so much.
They only focus on which game does not cost money and which game is more fun.
Players who pay attention to which game does not cost money are often players of lower age. A game of 60 dollars is too expensive for them. Even if they can get some rewards by sending newspapers, bonds, and cleaning the lawn for others, they have to do 60 dollars at least 60 times.
Even if you do it twice a day, it will take thirty days to get a new game.
However, how could children's entertainment be the only video games?
Do you want to play with skateboards and ride bicycles? Don’t think that children’s consumption is less.
In the commercial society, even a baby needs to consume more and more products, not less and less.
Therefore, in terms of price, those first-line masterpieces have become increasingly far away from young players.
On the contrary, games that are relatively cheaper on Nintendo handheld consoles and Wanhu handheld consoles are more popular among children.
Although the picture quality of the two handheld machines is not good, in the hearts of young players, seeds for the two manufacturers can be sown.
Many years later, even if the two manufacturers are no longer able, they can live for a long time even by harvesting the feelings of their former fans.
Perhaps, it is the other major game manufacturers that ignore the children's demand for games and only need to make as much money as possible in front of them, so that they can give Nintendo and Wanhu a different living space.
You know, the combined sales of the two games "Pokemon" and "Pokemon" have exceeded 20 million.
Almost two models sold around 10 million.
The sales of 10 million yuan can be said to be nuclear bomb-level for mainstream masterpieces, but for such young children's games, it is not obvious.
Even when the TV cartoon or theater of "Pokemon" is played, countless small players will watch it, which will make everyone think that these children have problems with their brains. There are so many masterpieces with excellent pictures that don't play, but instead play with the mosaics on the screen?
They knew that it was because these children could not afford those high-end games that they played games like little beasts.
Although the picture quality is worse, the price is cheaper.
When game consoles and games are combined, there may be no big game that is valuable.
In addition to the maturity of hardware technology, although there are inevitably some minor problems, skilled players are already proficient. Even if their machine has broken into a pile of parts, when they want to play, they will pull out the pile of parts from the drawer, assemble it a few times, and then they can start the computer and play.
If you want to experience the fun of assembly in the future, you can continue to play like this.
If you don't want to, you can also use tape and other things to fix it.
Recently, children have begun to discuss a free game, which is "Operation Counter-Terrorism".
"Have you heard that? Wanhu actually launched a free game, which seems to be called "Anti...Anti...Anti-What's the matter?"
"Anti-terrorism operation!"
"Yes! It's "Anti-Terrorism Operation"! I heard that this game can be played without spending a penny, and this has never been done before! I want to play it too, but... it's just that my computer is not connected to the Internet, so I can't play it..."
"I heard that as long as you do this and you can access the Internet. As long as you don't play for a long time, even if your parents think you have too much phone bill, they won't doubt you!"
"Is that true? Is that true? That's great! I'm going back and try it now!"
"What's the rush? What if you find that you don't like this game after you finish it?"
"Then...what should I do?"
"Come on, go to the Internet cafe with me, let's go and see what this game looks like!"
"Okay, let's go together!"
This is the conversation between two young children.
With the development of the Internet, the computer rooms that used to be used to have evolved into Internet cafes one by one.
Although many of the people who come to the Internet cafe to surf the Internet are gamers, there is still a group of people who come to the Internet cafe to watch online videos or chat with forums.
As soon as the Internet cafe appeared, it swept across the United States in a posture far beyond the computer room.
Even in terms of quantity, it is more than arcade hall.
In the United States, although there are still many arcade halls, people's enthusiasm for arcade games has declined a lot.
Although a few years ago, the popularity of arcade games has declined.
However, fighting games, the entire type of game that is popular among players, have greatly extended the life cycle of arcades in North America.
However, although fighting games are becoming more and more popular, their popularity has begun to decline little by little.
The fight between two super big characters is interesting, but after so many years of training, masters and low players can be quickly distinguished even if they are not in the same game.
Experts certainly like to abuse other players themselves and enjoy the pleasure.
But why should the underdogs keep being abused and keep playing?
Electronic games have become immortals and blooming in a state of blooming flowers. If you don’t play this game well, it doesn’t mean you can’t play other games well.
Therefore, low-handed players, or grassroots players, are still greatly lost.
Without the grassroots, how can the system be maintained?
Every new fighting game is played by old players, and new players ignore the fighting game at all.
Some of these old cannons, which were originally more powerful, have now become new grassroots, so the loss of players is like peeling an onion, passing through layer by layer.
The entire game type will inevitably lead to a declining fate.
The arcade halls have also differentiated. Some are arcade halls with the latest arcades, while others have started to play the nostalgic card. The latest game consoles in the arcade halls are probably not all released in 1990.
For example, "Pac Man", "Donkey Kong", and "Iron Plate" are the most popular arcade games in arcade halls.
The reason why this type of arcade hall was born is that the young people who played these games were now entering middle age.
They cannot accept new things, and even if they accept them, they will seem very clumsy.
But they are still very flexible when they played the games when they were young.
Therefore, they settled down and provided a breeding soil for this nostalgic arcade hall.
