Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

Stanford Legion?

what is that?

This name sounds very powerful.

But he had never heard of this name before.

It's normal that he hadn't heard of it.

Generally, only highly experienced game industry professionals are likely to understand some of the basic structures of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

Yuxing Electronic Entertainment currently has approximately twenty official game development teams.

Ten of the development departments are located in Japan, after all, Japan is the home base of Takeyusei.

Secondly, there is the United States, with four development teams, each responsible for different game genres. These four teams specialize in Western-style games, with Uncharted, GTA, and Cyberpunk 2077 being their key development projects.

Then there are six official game development divisions in Europe, Australia, and Africa.

These twenty game development departments produce a wide variety of high-quality games every year with considerable efficiency, serving as the vanguard of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

The manager of these twenty game development departments is Takeyusei himself. In addition to being the president, he also serves as the director of game development.

Behind these twenty game development departments are engine development companies and special effects production companies, all of which are managed and directed by Zhuyouxing.

Then, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment also has five engineering development departments.

Three are in Japan, and two are in the United States.

They are primarily responsible for the research and development of all video game-related hardware at Yusei Electronics Entertainment, with Airi Hayazawa serving as the Engineering Development Director.

Minoru Matsuhashi is in charge of all aspects of business operations, marketing, and expansion. He is the company's chief steward and the CEO.

Finally, there is another team within Yuxing Electronic Entertainment that is not exactly a secret.

You can learn a lot about this team with just a little inquiry.

This team is called the Stanford Legion.

This team has some characteristics of a local warlord, with completely autonomous management and no direct control from Youxing Electronic Entertainment. The Stanford Legion has only one leader.

That was Aya Tsukino.

The Stanford team also possesses the strongest computer technology capabilities.

They were the ones who overcame all the technical challenges in the programming of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

In the Stanford Legion, everyone is a graduate of Stanford University, and from one of the best computer-related majors.

Stanford has a deep partnership with Yusei Electronic Entertainment. If a Stanford student wants to join Yusei Electronic Entertainment, as long as they pass Aya Tsukino's interview, they can start working directly without any personnel-related assessments and receive a very good salary.

Their daily task is simply to solve all the problems of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

This challenge includes programming techniques in video game development, but is not limited to tasks such as new software development, internet server maintenance, and server protection.

Then, when necessary, they will also act as a hidden dagger for Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

To deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at any time.

"Stanford Legion..."

Zhu Youxing said, "Believe me, the internet is not a lawless place. What you think of as leaving no trace only applies to ordinary people. To real professionals, everything you do is just a clumsy attempt at concealment by a petty thief."

Zhu Youxing walked up to Yiwen and patted him on the shoulder.

“Now, I am considered a senior, while you are a junior. I can only hope that you don’t let me catch you doing anything wrong, otherwise, your fate will be even worse.”

At this moment, Zhu Youxing no longer had the casual or gentle attitude he had before.

He suddenly adopted an arrogant and domineering demeanor.

It's a composure and maturity that comes with years of experience.

This was not something that Ivan, who was only in his twenties, could handle.

Moreover, if we consider actual experience, Zhu Youxing should be ten years older than his current physical age.

That is, the extra ten years of social experience he had before he transmigrated.

On the internet, never claim you can hide yourself well.

On the internet, the only way to do something without being caught doing anything is to do nothing.

If you do something, the internet will definitely leave a trace.

Data never lies.

Ivan slowly broke out in a cold sweat.

He didn't have time to exchange any more pleasantries with Zhu Youxing, and instead left Youxing Electronic Entertainment quickly while sweating profusely.

He had just stepped out of the Youxing Electronic Entertainment building when he hurriedly picked up his phone and dialed his partner's number.

"Hey, I want to know if we've kept our previous actions well hidden."

"What? It's well hidden? There's absolutely no way anyone will find out?"

"you sure?"

"What do you mean you're not sure? You said before that you could completely destroy any evidence."

"The data won't be completely erased?"

"damn it!"

Ivan quickly left the Starry Sky Building.

At this very moment, the Stanford Army has already begun its operations.

In fact, they had already started taking action when Youxing Electronic Entertainment began to encounter the piracy crisis.

Aya Tsukino can be considered a genius programmer.

Her forte was internet attack and defense.

Now it's like going back to my old profession.

She also has a whole think tank of experts in internet and computer technology.

In the face of such a team, few secrets of the internet can remain hidden.

On the internet, evidence often does not require any direct proof.

Even a seemingly insignificant statistic can become absolute evidence that determines everything.

Chapter 998 uses only one sentence

998

Finding evidence on the internet is not particularly difficult.

The people at Yuxing Electronic Entertainment are all top-notch talents. They're not looking for anything confidential; they're just looking for some clues.

Before long, the Stanford Legion and the AI ​​Lab collaborated to thoroughly investigate all the secret activities of the company that created the game encryption program.

The first thing to do is to file a lawsuit directly.

The legal department of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment hasn't been officially mobilized for a long time.

Over the past decade or so, there have been very few legal disputes involving Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

These legal departments are so bored they're practically worried they'll be laid off at any moment.

Now that they suddenly discovered they had a new target, their entire department immediately became excited, with everyone clamoring to take action against the company.

Zhu Youxing has never been stingy with his financial investment in legal matters.

His investment wasn't intended to target those who create fan works, but simply to prevent potential political correctness disputes or sanctions from a particular country.

There have been many similar incidents in the United States before.

The legal department did not disappoint Yusei, and Yusei Electronic Entertainment's European branch quickly sued the company that developed the encryption program. At the same time, for the first time in many years, Yusei publicly criticized the matter on social media platforms.

Encryption programs in video games are something that benefits game developers.

However, Zhuyouxing does not want this to be based on negatively impacting the player's gaming experience.

If these people want to use encryption programs, then they must first ensure that such encryption programs do not create a bad gaming experience for players.

Yusei also issued a public statement saying that Yusei Electronics Entertainment will never cooperate with such a company again.

If any company wants to cooperate with such a company in the future, Zhuyouxing may not be able to stop it, but he can prevent such games from being logged into their Battle.net platform.

This effectively cuts off the encryption software company's escape route.

The company immediately faced immense pressure, and the founder quickly came forward to declare that they did not intend to affect the gameplay of video games; they simply wanted to create better value for video games and protect the rights of video game manufacturers.

But the players weren't happy about it.

Before this, they didn't really care about video game encryption, but in the past few months, more and more games have started using encryption software, which is quite annoying for pirate players.

This is equally frustrating for legitimate players.

If this thing is not compatible with the original program of the game, it may even cause serious crashes or vulnerabilities such as the loss of save data.

Many players have been complaining more and more during this period.

On the Battle.net platform, some games that originally had a 60-70% positive rating have had their positive rating drop by 10-20% due to this encryption program.

Although this did not affect the company's profits, players' trust in the company was actually gradually decreasing.

Recently, players have mostly complained to the game development company, completely unaware that the root of the problem lies in this inexplicable encryption program.

This encryption program is quite damaging to players who truly love video games and always insist on buying legitimate copies.

They spent money but had a terrible experience.

Moreover, these players became even more furious after Zhu Youxing took the initiative to publicize the matter on social media.

Immediately, the encryption software company's page on Facebook was flooded with angry comments from players.

"So it was you who ruined my gaming experience! What did we gamers ever do to you? All we wanted was to play a fun game, and you've trampled on our fun like this!"

"Just go bankrupt already!"

"From now on, I will not play any games that use this company's encryption software, and I will not even play pirated versions!"
