Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

However, the games from Yusei Electronic Entertainment don't need these fancy things at all.

As long as the Yuxing Electronic Entertainment logo is printed in the lower left corner of the game cover, it's synonymous with quality.

"No, unless you can guarantee me that your product will not affect the performance usage of the game itself when it is running, then I can consider it, but only consider it."

In general, Zhu Youxing is not particularly sensitive to certain products, nor does he have a particularly strong reaction to them.

Most of the time, he calmly observed everything as if he were someone who had been through it all.

However, there are always exceptions to this.

This broken game encryption system is one of the things that Zhuyouxing hates the most.

In the original world, he was powerless to change these things, and Denuvo's encryption caused immense suffering for legitimate game players.

Especially later, due to the explosive improvement in the performance of electronic products, many manufacturers simply stopped optimizing their games and just dumped them on the PC platform to make money. Then, they added an encryption system to these poorly optimized games, which made things even worse.

So, we can talk about other things, but the game's encryption system is absolutely not up for discussion.

Faced with such a blunt rejection, the hippie-style man looked rather grim.

"Mr. Zhuyou, this is a groundbreaking product that can truly empower your product..."

"Stop, stop, stop, I don't want to hear those words."

Zhu Youxing was tired of hearing it and really didn't want to hear any more of this kind of internet slang.

"Then let me explain..."

"As I just said, if your product doesn't cause performance degradation during game operation, I can consider it. If it doesn't meet this requirement, then I have to refuse."

After Zhu Youxing finished speaking, the hippie-style man finally couldn't help but stand up, somewhat annoyed.

"Mr. Zhuyou, I must admit that you hold a very high position in the point-based game industry, and your contributions to video games are also very significant. However, I must say that you have started to become a bit old-fashioned in some aspects, and sometimes you should try to keep up with the times."

Zhu Youxing retorted bluntly, "So you think your product is the trend of the times?"

I think so.

Zhu Youxing shook his head: "Then it means our philosophies don't align. You can leave now."

“Mr. Zhuyou, you will definitely regret this. When I bring more and better benefits to other game companies’ products, you will definitely regret your choice today.”

"I will only regret one thing."

"what?"

"That means if I choose your product, I will regret it and give players a bad experience."

hippie:……

In the end, the hippie left Yuxing Electronic Entertainment looking dejected.

It was only at this moment that Zhu Youxing realized he didn't know this person's name.

However, it's not a big problem; whether or not he knows the person's name won't affect him.

Then Zhu Youxing simply treated this as an interlude and quickly forgot about it.

But this hippie hadn't forgotten.

He is a young man from a European country who is quite talented in software development, which is why he and his partner were able to create such a unique product.

Their product quickly gained popularity among some game developers in Europe shortly after its launch.

After these game developers used this encryption system, the sales of their legitimate games immediately saw a significant increase.

An improvement of approximately 10% or more.

In a very short time, this hippie and his partner became a dark horse in Europe, then received several rounds of investment, and now the company is valued at around $100 million.

His successful expansion in Europe naturally led him to want to expand, and his first choice for expansion was not the United States, but Japan.

Since Japan is considered the birthplace of video games, conquering Japan would naturally make conquering American game companies a piece of cake.

Among them, the person he most hoped to persuade was Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

Unfortunately, his wish ultimately failed.

The business negotiation department of Youxing Electronic Entertainment takes this matter quite seriously. They feel that it is a good thing if it can bring benefits to the company, but they are not sure whether it is good or not, so they choose to consult the boss's opinion again.

But when it came to Zhuyouxing, the wind suddenly shifted, and Zhuyouxing seemed to know a lot about this kind of product.

Some of what they know is even a bit abnormal.

He was able to immediately pinpoint the product's weakness after only hearing a few words from the hippie, and bluntly stated that he wouldn't consider their product unless the performance consumption issue was resolved.

This was something that even the hippie hadn't expected.

"Hey, how's the business negotiation in Japan going?"

Not long after leaving the Starry Sky Building, the hippie's collection started ringing.

The caller was another of his partners.

His partner was naturally very interested in the negotiations in Japan and wanted to get firsthand information as soon as possible.

The hippie replied in a very annoyed tone, "It failed. My sales pitch failed. That god of the gaming world rejected our product."

"Rejection? Why would you reject it? Did you not explain the effects of our product clearly?"

"Hehe, I don't need to explain at all. This god in the gaming field is really an amazing person. I don't need to say anything. He seems to know our product like the back of his hand."

Chapter 994 I Want Revenge!

994

The hippie recounted what had happened in the Starry Sky Building to his partner, who then made an incredulous sound.

"How did they manage to understand the weaknesses of our product so quickly?"

“Who knows?” the hippie replied impatiently. “But I have a feeling that this gaming genius may have made a similar product before, and then abandoned further development after discovering such flaws.”

He said on the other end of the phone, "But this flaw shouldn't be a big problem, right? As long as the game is fun enough, it's not a big deal if our product uses a little bit of game performance, is it?"

According to this partner, the quality of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's games speaks for itself. Even if the experience is a bit bad, players will still buy them because Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's games are fun.

That alone is enough to defeat all problems.

However, it seems that Youxing Electronic Entertainment does not see it that way.

First and foremost is Zhu Youxing himself. He values ​​game quality and user experience the most because, in his heart, he always considers himself a player first and a game developer second.

This will never change.

Since he is a player, he would never allow the game he creates to have a bad gaming experience, which would affect his mood.

But people outside of Yusei Electronics Entertainment probably wouldn't understand Takeyusei's somewhat excessive demands.

Most of them still believe that video games are a product, and as long as they make money, they are a good product. As for the user experience, that can be taken slowly.

When it comes to profit, the user and player experience can take a backseat.

"Forget it, if we can't reach an agreement with this company, we can go to other companies. There are so many well-known game companies in Japan, they can't all be like Yusei Electronics Entertainment."

The partner began to comfort the hippie.

However, he said with great displeasure, "I can't just let this go. Although Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is the largest game company, they have been operating for decades and have long been out of touch with the times. I have to prove to them that an encryption system can bring greater value to games."

"Hmm? What do you mean by that?"

The hippie said somewhat fiercely, "Isn't our team always doing hacking and anti-hacking work?"

"Yeah, what's wrong? We're trying to develop even better ways to counter game hacking."

"Then why don't we just release the complete cracked games online, preferably capturing most of the PC games from Yuxing Electronics Entertainment in one fell swoop?"

"Forehead……"

The partner was somewhat taken aback.

"This isn't good...it just feels a bit sinister."

"No, this is not insidious, but a necessary step to prove the value of our product. Otherwise, if the encryption system we have worked so hard to develop is ultimately proven to be dispensable by others, it will be a great blow to our future development."

His partner still felt that the hippie's sophistry was inappropriate.

However, another statement made by the hippies is also correct: their company was founded with the aim of making a profit.

Now that Youxing Electronics Entertainment is refusing to use their products, if Youxing Electronics Entertainment's games can still generate very good revenue without the support of an encryption system, and the profit margin is not significantly reduced, then it will indeed send a signal to others: the encryption system for genuine video games is really dispensable.

As a result, their business has indeed become more difficult.

"Hold the team's current work temporarily, and upload the many cracked games we've already cracked directly to the internet. Oh, by the way, make sure it's foolproof before uploading them to the internet, so that no one can find any evidence against us."

The hippie is now preoccupied with seeking revenge on Zhu Youxing.

What he just explained to his partner was merely a means to persuade him. He himself had no intention of pursuing any financial gain; rather, he simply wanted to take revenge on Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

It is obvious that an elderly person is no longer suitable for this era.

He was still young and should be the most knowledgeable about the times. He felt that perhaps people like Zhu Youxing should gradually step down from their pedestals and let the new generation take over.

Hearing the hippie's firm tone, his partner didn't try to dissuade him any further. He just felt that it wasn't quite right, that it was somewhat unethical, but he didn't insist on his stance. Instead, he said, "Okay, then I'll go and prepare."

The hippie said, "I'll continue to lobby other game companies. If we can find more companies to use our products to release games and achieve better sales, then compare them with Yuxing Electronic Entertainment. I think Yuxing Electronic Entertainment will definitely regret their decision!"

He fantasized like this while showing a smug expression.

It seems that his fantasy has become a reality. He has begun to consider how to negotiate with Yuxing Electronic Entertainment and punish them for their previous disrespect with a higher price.

Over the next month, the hippie visited several game companies in Japan, and then immediately flew to the United States.

If Japan is the birthplace of video games, then the United States is the biggest source of profit and one of the largest markets for video games.

People outsiders say that whoever can conquer the US market will become the most successful company in the world, regardless of what industry they conquer.

To this day, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment still holds a firm 70% market share in the United States.

They always manage to earn the most money.

However, this should not lead to an underestimation of the other 30% of the gaming market.

Here you'll find established companies like Mikef, veteran game developers like Brown Entertainment, and newer players who have entered the game development field in recent years.

These companies share some notable characteristics: they possess numerous well-known IP works. By developing these IPs into canned open-world games using the traditional industrial model of mass-producing games, they can garner a large following and are guaranteed to break even.
