Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

Look, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment can make countless excellent games.

Moreover, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment can often discover excellent games that are difficult for ordinary people to find, and then cultivate and promote them.

Yuxing Electronic Entertainment can also discover games that initially had a bad reputation but have the potential to turn things around.

Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's vision is the most powerful tool in the world, a reason why players can blindly choose to believe in it.

Under such circumstances, even if Yuxing Electronic Entertainment produces a few terrible games in a short period of time, it can still be blindly trusted by players.

This kind of trust is cultivated over countless years; it cannot be achieved overnight.

Myron Case simply couldn't understand the meaning of video games at this level.

Myron Case then examined the current revenue and returns of Mickford's game development division.

I've invested a lot recently, but the returns have been minimal.

Most games have entered a period of stagnation, during which the team attempted to develop games for continued operation, but all of these efforts came to nothing.

Not all game companies have the DNA for long-term game operation. Most game companies are better at making quick and easy games, making a quick buck, and then developing new games.

Overall, Mikef's gaming division is still profitable.

But to be honest, this profit doesn't meet Myron Case's requirements.

He also hopes to use video games to support his hardware R&D business.

However, it seems that it will be difficult in the short term.

Meanwhile, many gamers online have begun calling for a boycott of Mikefu products.

It is foreseeable that the sales of Mickford's video games may be even worse in the near future.

Unless their game quality can surpass this skepticism and resistance, and convince everyone.

But does the game division in Mickford have that capability?

Obviously not.

Especially when some core team members resign, this ability becomes almost zero.

He suddenly felt a little tired.

I never imagined that after building up the game division, I would still find it difficult to reap any rewards.

Money and fame are now rapidly declining.

So... isn't it time...?

Myron Case frowned; he was clearly conflicted.

I'm not sure if I should make this decision.

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of Yusei Electronic Entertainment Building, Takeyusei is looking at a new game project proposal.

He hasn't assigned any teams to develop any specific games or sequels recently.

Mainly, he felt that the development of games in this world was almost complete, and it was no longer necessary for him to bring games from his previous life to this world.

This world already has its own unique games, and they are all of good quality.

So, can I finally consider fulfilling my long-held wish?

It's about retiring, becoming a carefree hermit, spending every day with your wife and kids, and playing the games you like.

He thought about it for a moment, then shook his head. He figured he probably couldn't stay idle, but he could be a supervisor and oversee the early game planning and mid-game development of these teams.

What he has in his hands now is a proposal for a traditional role-playing game.

The term "traditional" refers to the game's core storyline, which revolves around standard elements such as heroes, princesses, dragons, and disasters, and is a turn-based strategy game.

If this game were placed in the eyes of a typical game company, it would definitely be considered an outdated game.

Not many gamers would like this kind of game.

But Zhu Youxing watched with great interest.

The various settings in this game are very well done.

The game features a complex system, from its overall gameplay to its mechanics.

This game... has a bit of a Divinity: Original Sin vibe to it.

Zhu Youxing actually considered making a game like Divinity: Original Sin.

However, due to scheduling conflicts with other game development projects, the project had to be temporarily shelved.

Zhu Youxing remembers that someone wanted to develop this type of game before, and he gave some support. Now he has become quite well-known in this niche genre.

The game on my desk is a practice project by one of the development teams; they wanted to try something different.

The development budget is around ten million US dollars.

Zhu Youxing pondered for a moment, then decisively signed the approval document.

A game like this only needs to sell around 200,000 to 300,000 copies to basically break even, and even if it incurs a loss, it won't be much, so let them do it.

Even if it's a disaster, consider it training for new recruits.

Zhu Youxing is quite looking forward to seeing what a parallel world's God Realm Original Sin game would be like, and hopes it can be made as soon as possible.

Then Zhu Youxing put the documents aside and leisurely thought about what he was going to do next.

It seems... there's really nothing to do lately. He doesn't need to worry about anything in the company anymore; he can really be a hands-off boss.

Just as Zhu Youxing was lost in thought, his administrative assistant rushed in from outside the office in a hurry.

"President, President, look at the news! Mikefu... Mikefu has made big news!"

"Big news?"

"Yes, Mickford announced that it will split up the gaming industry!"

Chapter 1186 Sharing Food

The splitting of the game development department in Mikefu was quite sudden.

No one in the industry expected this.

Originally, the gaming division in Mikefu was doing quite well, at least breaking even, and occasionally even making a small profit.

Why did they suddenly want to disband?

Myron Casey was clearly a little shaken up, and the comments online did have some impact on him.

In addition, the gaming business unit did not seem to be as profitable as he had initially expected.

This made him start to back down.

Zhu Youxing thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out the reason.

However, this is a good thing for other companies as well.

Mikefu's gaming industry has reached a certain level of development, ranking only behind GameStar, Brown Entertainment, and Surrey Electronics.

It does have some foundation, to some extent.

A sudden announcement of a split would mean that the gaming business would no longer receive large-scale financial support from Mickford.

The game division had to start considering profit and loss on its own, as well as various technology research and development and purchases.

Prior to this, much of the technology research and development and purchasing was funded by the Mikelfu headquarters.

Now they have to spend some money on this as well.

Under such circumstances, it is questionable whether the Mikefu Games division can still break even.

First of all, the current number of people is definitely not enough to support the continuous development of three large-scale games.

They don't have that much liquid capital.

For over a month, people were discussing this significant upheaval in the gaming industry.

Of course, at the same time, some people also began to get restless and extended olive branches to talents in the Mikeford Games division.

Since Mikeford itself wanted to split up its gaming division, they stopped hiding it. Some game companies directly called Mikeford's gaming division and even threatened to take all of Mikeford's gaming division employees with them.

This applies only to employees, of course.

It doesn't need game copyrights, resources, data, etc., other than employees.

Because these game companies each have their own strengths, they don't need the assets left behind by other game companies; they only need people, not resources.

The company owns all the copyrights, so there's no need for them to get involved with other companies' unclear copyrighted games.

Moreover, Mikelford's reputation among players is not good now, and their copyright value has been greatly reduced.

Everyone in the gaming division in Mikef is currently in a very low mood.

Their development was not very smooth from the very beginning after they joined Mickford.

Just when they had begun to achieve some success, a series of events damaged their reputation.

Then Myron Case seemed to have broken down and no longer wanted to be directly involved in game development. Instead, he opened up the platform resources to all game companies and encouraged them to release their games on the Mikeford platform themselves.

However, there are clearly not many game companies willing to do this.

While the hardware performance of Mikef's electronic products is undoubtedly excellent, Mikef's own gaming division hasn't made much of a splash, so it's even less likely that these gaming companies will earn much money.

Only those games that are relatively easy to develop and whose mentality is that more platforms mean more money will consider releasing their games there.

Most of these are indie games and low-budget games.

Zhu Youxing saw all of this.

He has been watching the whole thing closely ever since Mikef announced the spin-off of the gaming division.

More than a month later, the game division team in Mikefu is almost falling apart. Many people are considering changing jobs, but because they are still tied to Mikefu headquarters, they have to wait about another month for the division to be split up and the game division to become an independent company before they can regain their true freedom.

They now seem to be acting as if they are physically in Cao Cao's camp but their hearts are with Han.

Three large-scale games in development have come to a complete standstill, and it is likely that these three games will come to nothing.

Once the split was complete, many game companies devoured the entire Mikef Game Division like vultures.

"Boss, you wanted to see me?"
