Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

Top-tier game companies typically pay five million US dollars a year for Unreal Engine usage, plus a 5% cut of product sales. Startups, on the other hand, may even use Unreal Engine for free initially. Only when their sales reach one million US dollars will they start charging different tiers of revenue sharing.

For competing companies like Mikef, if they want to use Unreal Engine, the revenue share will be 10%, but the licensing fee will remain the same.

Even though Surui Electronics is currently in a cooperative relationship with Youxing Electronics Entertainment, the revenue sharing ratio and licensing fees have not been reduced in the slightest.

Myron Case tried several times to break free from the control of Unreal Engine.

But nowadays, if he wants a game team to develop a game engine, it starts at hundreds of millions of dollars; otherwise, there's no way he can develop an engine that supports top-tier game creation capabilities.

Myron Case hesitated.

One is like cutting flesh with a dull knife, making you reluctant to give up; the other is like cutting everything off, which is definitely worth the price from a long-term perspective of ten or twenty years.

Ultimately, he compromised on the financial aspect and chose to continue using Unreal Engine.

However, different companies use Unreal Engine in different ways.

Youxing Electronic Entertainment can utilize all the functions and database resources of Unreal Engine.

Others can only use 70-80% of Unreal Engine's capabilities; to go further, it's not something that can be achieved simply by paying more money.

His game development team was powerless to do anything about it.

Looking at the incredibly realistic game graphics on TV, Myron Case sighed.

He was fully aware of the gap in game development.

This is something that can't be achieved simply by throwing money at it.

This employee was now completely absorbed in the task.

The game's CG scene shifted from a distant view to a street scene, where a female character appeared to be praying with her eyes slightly closed.

When the camera focused directly in front of the female character, Myron Case seemed to hear the employee's slightly rapid breathing.

Is this character the main character?

"Myron Case asked."

"That's right, she's one of the main characters. It's been a long time since we've seen Alice, and she's even in such high definition."

This employee is practically a die-hard fan of Final Fantasy VII.

Back when he was just a middle school student, he first experienced the game Final Fantasy VII.

From that moment on, he became completely immersed in the world of video games.

However, since there are only so many good games, and they will eventually run out, and often after playing enough good games, it is hard to be interested in playing those low-quality games. This has led to this employee suffering from some symptoms of electronic ED.

Now, he feels that his erectile dysfunction symptoms are rapidly improving, and he feels like he is regaining his virility!

"Look, he's playing games in the boss's office!"

"My God, this is unbelievable! This guy is so lucky!"

"It seems he just went out to run errands to buy something for the boss."

"He went to buy the Final Fantasy VII Remake game."

Outside Myron Case's office, a group of people watched as one of the employees inside was engrossed in playing a game, which immediately aroused the curiosity of many employees, who then gathered around.

However, because the TV screen was facing away from them, they couldn't see the game screen.

"Huh?! What did you say? Final Fantasy VII Remake?"

"That's right, I was planning to go out and have fun after get off work."

"My God, I want to play this too! How come this guy can play Final Fantasy VII Remake right here!"

"I would do anything to switch places with this person!"

When the crowd learned what game the employee was playing, they became even more agitated.

Employees who can get into Mikefu are often a group of people at the forefront of technology.

Many of them initially developed an interest in the electronics industry through video games, which led them to pursue education in fields related to electronics, software, and programming.

Many of them even aspired to become game developers.

However, as they grew older, they had to face reality and pursue money more than their original dream of making games.

Of course, their enthusiasm for playing games has not diminished in the slightest.

Of these people, at least half have played the game Final Fantasy VII.

And almost all of these people now seem extremely enthusiastic.

They all craned their necks, eager to see the employee playing games in the office, no longer caring about being watched by their boss.

Myron Case has always been perceived as approachable by the company's employees, which is why he can now sit here and casually watch which employee is playing a game.

Myron Case naturally noticed this scene as well.

The sight of those people outside the glass curtain wall of his office, all looking so eager, once again touched Myron Case.

Is this the allure of video games?

At least so many of my employees have such a great passion for video games.

However... I didn't feel anything about it.

He began to feel somewhat lost.

Those people look so happy and joyful, all because they've been playing video games.

I feel nothing about it. Is it really because I don't fit into this era?

No, one's vision should be forward-looking and in line with the popular culture of this era.

Video games are just not my cup of tea.

"You, come with me and bring the game console out."

At this moment, the employees who were playing Final Fantasy VII Remake have arrived at the actual gameplay screen. Cloud, in a very high-definition image, jumps off the train and faces the soldiers from Shinra.

That familiar feeling came back, which deeply moved the employee.

But upon hearing his boss's voice, he immediately snapped back to reality.

"Boss? What's going on here...?"

"Can't you see how many people outside want to see the game footage? Well then, let them see it too."

It was only then that the employee noticed how many people were crowding outside the office, which surprised him.

At the same time, he was also somewhat excited.

So... so many people in the company love games, and it seems quite a few of them are fans of Final Fantasy VII.

It seems he's not alone; he might make even more good friends!

"it is good!"

The employee immediately shut down the game console and unplugged it.

"Hey hey hey? It looks like the cable was disconnected?"

"Oh no! The boss is going to be angry! Get back to your workstations and get to work!"

These people panicked a little. Seeing their boss, Myron Case, about to come out, they immediately ran back to their workstations, sat up straight, and made themselves look like they were working seriously.

Then, Myron Case walked out of the office with the employee.

Myron Case first silently scanned the people at each workstation.

These people seem to have returned to a state of serious work.

However, Myron Case still noticed that some people would glance at him intentionally or unintentionally.

That wasn't because he was worried about being blamed.

Those people wanted to see how they, as the boss, would react.

"Alright, put down your work."

Myron Case said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, these people immediately stuck their necks out from their workstations again.

Some people simply stood up and stared at their boss.

"I bet a lot of you are not in the mood to work today. The release of Final Fantasy VII Remake has probably made you all quite excited, right?"

"Um... Boss, to be honest, I wanted to become a programmer because of the game Final Fantasy VII."

At this moment, someone mustered up the courage to raise their hand and stand up, and then sincerely expressed their opinion.

"Boss, me too!"

Then someone else raised their hand and stood up.

One, two, three.

Myron Case didn't say much; he simply turned to look at the employee who had already come out carrying a game console.

Then he looked at the group of employees.

All of you who want to watch this game, follow him to the studio and watch it properly. I'm giving you all a day off today. I think even if I didn't give you a day off, you probably wouldn't want to work at all right now.

"Long live!"

"Long live the boss!"

The people cheered.

The allure of video games...

Watching them cheer, Myron Case was reminded of the reactions of the players around him when he went to the StarCraft Carnival last year.

They were all incredibly excited, and when they saw the confirmed information about the Final Fantasy VII Remake, it was as if they were about to shake the entire carnival venue to its core—and that's no exaggeration.

Myron Case, though in that atmosphere, felt somewhat out of place.
