Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

This set of internet slang sounds so familiar.

How many years has it been since I last heard such slang?

I haven't heard of it since I traveled to this world.

I never expected to hear these familiar things here again today.

"Um... President Zhuyou, is there a problem with what I said?" The hippie was still a little confused.

He was quite pleased with what he had just said.

Internet slang is not yet popular in the world, and terms like "empowerment" and "ecosystem" are still relatively unfamiliar.

He also believed that by describing his products with these words, he could immediately arouse a strange, sophisticated interest in most people, and then close a deal.

However, Zhu Youxing stopped him abruptly, which made him feel a bit frustrated because he hadn't finished saying all those slang terms.

"Stop with the boring nonsense. I just want to know what product you want to recommend to me."

Boring nonsense... I've been thinking about these lines for ages, how are they boring...?

This hippie-style guy was somewhat dissatisfied.

He only had a feeling of having long admired Zhuyouxing, but he didn't have much respect for him. In his opinion, the products he created were better. As for video games, if they didn't have products like his, they would eventually die out. His own products were the moat of video games.

"President Zhuyou, my co-founder and I have launched a special encryption program that can encrypt the program itself of video games, making them difficult to crack by humans for a long time, thereby maximizing sales for a period of time."

Chapter 992 I Refusal

992

To be honest, Zhu Youxing thought this person was alright from the first meeting. He seemed like a rather casual person, which suited his own style, which was why he was willing to talk to him about business negotiations.

Otherwise, if the person who appears is a very serious guy, Zhu Youxing would probably just tell him to stop talking nonsense and explain his purpose clearly, and then Zhu Youxing would make his own judgment.

But when this guy opened his mouth and uttered a long string of internet slang, it made Zhu Youxing feel as if he had returned to the world before he transmigrated.

He also remembered that the internet company he used to work for would frantically seek out investors every few months to discuss business, and the things they said were not much different from what this guy was saying.

It's both familiar and inexplicably something I don't want to hear.

Then, Zhu Youxing told the man to stop talking nonsense and state his purpose directly. The man then said something that Zhu Youxing was quite familiar with.

Encrypting games to prevent the spread of pirated and cracked games?

Good guy.

Zhu Youxing really had to exclaim, "Wow!"

Has Denuvo encryption finally arrived?

Denuvo encryption is a built-in encryption program in games.

The main purpose of this program is to prevent video games from being cracked into pirated versions, so that players can experience the full game experience without spending a penny.

Well, for game developers, this has indeed led to an increase in game sales to some extent, and their income has naturally increased as well.

In theory, this D encryption should be considered a win-win situation.

Game developers ensure the value of their game products, and players should be able to have a better gaming environment experience.

However... all of this is based on theory.

This so-called D-encryption is truly something that people both love and hate.

Game developers love it because it does increase their game sales.

But for players, it's a disaster.

Denuvo encryption will continuously consume some performance resources in the background as long as you run the game.

For example, in a game that is supposed to use 100% of its performance to display the game graphics, with Denuvo, only 70-80% of the performance can be used for displaying the game graphics, while the remaining 20-30% is occupied by Denuvo.

This is very unfair to the players.

I paid for the game myself, but the experience was terrible.

On the contrary, pirated games that have been cracked and had their Denuvo encryption removed later on the internet offer a better gaming experience, which is simply outrageous.

At the time, Zhu Youxing also really hated this thing.

Because of this thing, the graphics of many games he played were not satisfactory.

Of course, home video game consoles don't have this problem.

Because of their closed systems, games on home consoles don't require Denuvo DRM, and home consoles are one of the main bases for digital games, making them a relatively untouched haven.

However, Denuvo encryption on the PC platform is notorious, and Zhu Youxing hates it very much.

"You mean you've developed a program that can protect existing legitimate games, preventing them from being cracked for a long time, thereby increasing game sales?"

"Yes, yes, that's right, President Zhuyou. It seems you've already heard some rumors. Some game companies have seen a significant increase in their game sales by using our products."

The hippie was very happy.

He believed that the fact that Zhu Youxing could understand his explanation so quickly was the most obvious sign that his company's products had become famous.

If their products weren't well-known, it would be impossible for the president of Zhuyou to know about them.

Thinking of this, he became somewhat smug again.

It seems this deal is now secure.

If they can secure a deal with a top-tier company in the gaming market like Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, their company will truly soar to new heights!

He has already envisioned a wonderful life with an annual income of tens of millions and luxury mansions and yachts.

"I have no interest in your product."

However, before this hippie-style guy could indulge in his fantasies for long, Zhu Youxing's words shattered all his fantasies of mansions, yachts, and a million-dollar annual income.

"Uh... President Zhuyou, it seems you don't know much about our products. I can explain it to you."

"No, I don't need your explanation. I know what this is. I just need to ask one question. If you can give me a definite answer, that will satisfy me. Maybe I'll change my mind."

At this moment, even this hippie-style guy seemed to lose his casualness, and he became somewhat serious, saying, "Then, President Zhuyou, you say it."

He was prepared to be challenged by Zhu Youxing, but if it was about the strength of their products, he was confident that he could answer decisively without any hesitation.

"I'm asking you, if your encryption product is added to a video game, will it consume the game's performance resources? If so, can you provide an approximate estimate of how many resources it will consume?"

hippie:……

He was dumbfounded.

It's not that the question is particularly profound.

On the contrary, this question is actually quite easy to answer.

The answer came to him instantly.

But how did President Zhuyou come up with this question so quickly?

This issue should be considered a weakness in their products.

Moreover, it should be considered a rather fatal weakness.

Just as Zhu Youxing guessed, their anti-piracy encryption product does indeed consume game resources.

And this usage is still quite high.

The original D encryption system in the world also underwent many iterations.

Initially, this thing neither prevented piracy nor did it consume a lot of game resources, which made players very annoyed, eventually to the point that everyone hated it.

Later, if some games used Denuvo, it would attract a group of hackers who threatened to crack the game and share all its code for free if the game company did not remove the harmful Denuvo encryption.

But even so, it still couldn't stop this thing from becoming popular.

For game developers, this threat is far less tempting than the prospect of increased game sales.

Any legitimate game development company, especially one driven by profit, would ignore such protests.

Then, Denuvo was popular for many years under this infamous circumstances, and PC players suffered a lot as a result. Later, a very popular meme emerged: "The legitimate player is the victim."

This meme is used to describe those who spend money to buy legitimate games, but whose experience is worse than that of pirated players.

"Uh... this."

The hippie was momentarily speechless.

He didn't know how to answer this rather fatal question directly.

But Zhu Youxing already understood.

This world is not much different from the original world; everything that is supposed to appear will appear, and everything that is supposed to happen will happen.

“I refuse. I refuse your product. Youxing Electronic Entertainment will not use any of your encrypted products. You can leave now,” Zhu Youxing replied decisively.

Chapter 993 One of the things I hate most

993

"Mr. Zhuyou, you can think about it carefully."

The hippie was somewhat embarrassed by Zhu Youxing's blunt rejection.

I did a lot of research in order to meet with Zhu Youxing to discuss this matter.

He wanted to explain in detail the many benefits of this game encryption product.

Of course, the biggest benefit is that it can bring more benefits to users' products.

Logically speaking, wouldn't a normal company not refuse this kind of product?

However, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment was not a normal company from the very beginning.

It is very difficult for a normal company to maintain such a high level of product output quality.

Over the past two decades, most video game products have been above average, except for a few that are extremely selective and polarizing.

And there are countless masterpieces among them that are perfect.

Other game companies would boast for a long time about getting a perfect score from a professional media outlet, and some would even want to put up slogans like "This media outlet gave it a perfect score" on their promotional materials.
