Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

Of course, sandbox strategy game enthusiasts generally haven't paid attention to this shortcoming, and they remain very enthusiastic about it.

But suddenly the way StarCraft was played made them wide-eyed.

Only then did they realize what had happened.

It turns out that sandbox games can also be run on a computer.

Moreover, the computer-controlled soldiers are lifelike and act in real time, no longer relying on one person per turn to fight.

This immediately elevated the way war games are played to a new level.

I'm definitely buying this game! And if possible, they'd like to buy it right now.

This entirely new way of experiencing war made them eager to jump into it.

However, it will probably be at least six months before such a game is actually available.

But this game demo alone had already made them incredibly eager to play it. If there were any way to play it immediately, they would be willing to pay dozens of times the price.

"It seems the audience response has been very positive. You're all very interested in this brand-new gameplay. So, what you're most interested in now is the game's price and release date, right?"

"That's right! Hurry up and announce the date! We don't need to announce the price yet!"

"I want a date! I want a date!"

The crowd below shouted loudly, instantly raising the atmosphere.

Outside the venue, many people who were unaware of what was happening also ran over to check what was going on, drawn by the unified shouts.

What big move has Morgan Stanley made this time? Why are so many people suddenly going crazy?

What? A brand new type of game personally supervised and produced by Yusei Electronic Entertainment's CEO, the "God of Games," Takeyuki?

And it's a brand new game that's only available on Morgan Group's DOS system?

What are we waiting for? Let's go! If we don't go now, we won't see anything!

Originally, there were quite a few players playing games at the booths of Surui Electronics, Lierda, and Brown Entertainment.

But when they suddenly learned of the major news from Morgan Group, half of them left in the blink of an eye, and the remaining half also had the urge to leave immediately.

Chapter 362 A Dream-Level Cooperation

Morgan Group is not short of money at all, and its publicity campaign is going all out.

Around the exhibition hall, several cosplayers dressed as StarCraft Marines had already appeared. Their imposing steel armor and oversized machine guns left a deep impression on everyone.

This attracted even more people to come and see what was going on.

These people also happened to see the official announcement of the game's release date and price.

"After in-depth discussions with Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, we have decided to price StarCraft at $59 per copy. If you pre-order now, you will also receive a limited-edition gift available on-site, first come, first served. As for the release date..."

brush.

The screen changed again, displaying a large date.

It was officially released on July 1, 2000.

"One month later? One month later!"

"Long live!"

The players cheered.

They had thought the game would take at least another six months to a year to complete.

But you can play it in just one month.

In terms of production difficulty, StarCraft should be more difficult than Final Fantasy, but as long as the direction is clear, detours are avoided, and there is enough manpower, development is not difficult.

In addition, the American team involved in the development was extremely dedicated; each of them was passionate about StarCraft, and the game's development progressed much faster than expected.

Moreover, this game has another unique feature: it is constantly updated over time, unlike other traditional games that are almost never modified after being sold.

This also marks a new stage for video games: online services.

Online services are not unique to online games; single-player video games also require online services, although their network requirements are not as high as those of online games.

"If you are interested in the game, you can also go to our demo area to try out StarCraft. We will have dedicated staff to guide you on how to play and battle."

"Wait, a war? So that means we can wage war against each other?"

"That sounds like it. Um, I have something to do now, so I'll have to leave first. Everyone, please continue watching the promotional video."

"Hey, I have something to do too, please make way."

"Excuse me, I need to go out. I need to pee right now."

As soon as the host mentioned there would be a demo area, these people couldn't wait any longer.

They began frantically leaving the press conference venue and flocking to the Morgan Group's experience zone.

Initially, there were very few players in the Morgan Group's experience zone because most players didn't take Morgan Group's products seriously.

They came here to see the latest games and to play them.

Morgan Group initially only offered a system experience, which naturally didn't attract many players.

But things are different now. All the computers in the venue have had their graphics pre-set, and all the machines are already in the StarCraft demo's main interface. Players just need to come over and start playing.

Moreover, the deep-pocketed Morgan Group assigns a dedicated service personnel to each machine to help players solve all in-game problems and explain how to play the game.

The venue has over a hundred computers, which means there are over a hundred service personnel. Only a few large companies like Morgan Stanley can do this without any scruples.

Just now, the Morgan Group's service staff were quite relaxed; they were even able to gather together and find a few game consoles to play StarCraft.

But in the blink of an eye, players started flooding in, leaving them all a bit bewildered.

Fortunately, their professionalism remained intact, and they quickly got into the swing of things, patiently serving the players.

"What happened? Why did all the players run away? And why did they all run to Morgan Group's area?"

At Lierda's booth, the newly appointed CEO personally came out to promote the latest game consoles and games.

Initially, the game attracted many players by offering generous prizes.

The quality of their new game was also quite good, and many players did try it out. They also showed interest in the new console and the new game.

This pleased the CEO.

But before he could be happy for long, most of the players ran away in the blink of an eye, and they all went to Morgan Group.

What's the situation?

He could accept it if these players suddenly switched to Su Rui Electronics or Youxing Electronics Entertainment.

But then it suddenly jumped to Morgan Group, which puzzled him.

Has Morgan Stanley entered the gaming industry?

Damn it! Another strong competitor has appeared. How come there are more and more competitors every day?

Having just one company like Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is enough to drive people to despair. Can't you guys go into other industries? Why do you have to crowd into video games?

"Boss, Morgan Group has launched a game."

really!

Morgan Stanley, this behemoth, is also entering the gaming industry. Damn it! Making money is getting harder and harder.

It was already very difficult to make money.

Fortunately, it's just a game, and Morgan Group has only recently entered the game industry. They certainly don't understand the difficulty of game development yet. It's impossible for them to develop a truly good game in a short time. No matter how much money you have, it's useless for a novice company like this. Without top game developers, you can't bring high returns.

He even maliciously imagined that Morgan Group would throw a lot of money into the video game industry, only to be thwarted and become a laughing stock in the industry.

"But it wasn't made by them; it was made by Yusei Electronic Entertainment."

Lierda CEO: ? ? ?

What the hell is going on?

Has Yuxing Electronic Entertainment been acquired?

He's full of questions right now.

Then he realized a serious problem.

A super conglomerate that is extremely wealthy and holds more than 80% of the PC operating system market share.

In addition, there's Youxing Electronic Entertainment, which also holds 80% of the influence in the gaming industry.

With these two together, it seems like the gaming industry has no enemies left.

"Damn it, what's going on? Why are these two companies working together?"

The employee who came to report shrank back.

How could a lowly employee like him know such secrets?

Aiden, the North American head of Surui Electronics, was equally shocked.

Hack Brown, former CEO of Brown Entertainment's Lierda division.

They couldn't understand how this was done.

Whether or not they can figure out the reasons behind it, at least for now, the collaboration between Morgan Group and GameStar Entertainment has yielded amazing results, and the gaming experience is excellent.

This is truly a dream collaboration.

Chapter 363: Clickbait titles are everywhere.

It's big news that a game from Yuxing Electronics Entertainment will be exclusive to Morgan Group's operating system.

Everyone knows that logging in on a PC will result in earning significantly less money because piracy on PCs is very difficult to completely eradicate.

Releasing games on your own console offers greater assurance.

According to statistics over the past few years, games on game consoles have consistently outsold those on PCs.

Unless they're completely out of their minds, most game developers will prioritize releasing their titles on game consoles.

Hack Brown is an exception.
