I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World Chapter 769: VRgame is online!
Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
The last good news is about the phantom helmet of future technology.
In early April, Future Human Technology held a special VR game industry summit at the Los Angeles Silicon Valley branch, inviting hundreds of well-known game manufacturers around the world to sign VR technology sharing agreements.
As early as the beginning of last year, Future Human Technology opened up VR software development tools at the request of all parties. However, because there are no supporting training institutions, when major game manufacturers port their games to the VR platform, Progress is extremely slow. And apart from the big vendors like Microsoft, Sony, Sega, and Ubisoft, almost no one has the financial resources to rent a supercomputer as a server for their own games.
That's why, until April of this year, there was still no large-scale VR game except "Godland".
But now this situation will soon be over.
According to the signed VR technology sharing agreement, Future Group will send technical consultants to major game companies to train them a group of technicians who can use basic VR development tools proficiently. In the future, Renren Group will hold a 5% stake in these participating game companies in the form of technology shares. This 5% stake will enable Future Human Technology to obtain a seat on the board of directors of each game company.
However, Future Group promises to exercise limited voting rights on the board of directors.
At the same time, in the latest update of the Phantom Helmet, the VRgame icon has been added to the menu interface. Although it is currently a black frame, it will only pop up after you click it. Please look forward to it.
The positioning of VRgame is similar to steam on PC, and users can purchase games through VRgame. All companies joining the technology sharing agreement will be eligible to join VRgame. For games sold by other companies, Future Human Technology only charges 20% of the total sales as a channel fee, and charges a relatively low rent based on server resource consumption.
Because of technical reasons, the future group completely blocked the possibility of piracy on the channel, and VR games are originally the development direction of games in the next era, so once the VRgame application was launched, it immediately attracted the attention of countless game manufacturers.
It is even more obvious that at the shareholders meeting of their company, they will put all their energy into the development of VR games and completely abandon the pirated PC field.
At the same time, the launch of VRgame has also made China's game manufacturers see the hope of rising. At the beginning of 2000, many excellent stand-alone games emerged in Hua Guo, including Meteor Butterfly Sword, Ancient Sword Qi Tan, Sword Seal Magic Record and so on. However, these masterpieces that once hoped to compete with Japanese game companies have all died in their own hands. Without even going out of the country, he was bankrupted by playing pirated discs.
The only fairy sword series that is barely alive to the present, has also done a job of selling money in the love circle.
But now this situation can be over.
All VR games are run based on the server of Future Group. Any server rental application without copyright registration will be returned. In addition, the subject matter issues that worry game manufacturers in some countries can be perfectly solved in VRgame.
The translation system that comes with the platform makes language not a problem at all. Even if the game you made cannot pass the review in China, it can be sold in the new country and conquer the global market. The "holes" in the Phantom Helmet also allow players in other regions to purchase games sold in the new country through the wall. In other words, as long as your game is good enough, even if it is sold in a new country with a population of less than 100,000, sales can still exceed 100 million.
Could those in the Ministry of Incineration still go to the new country and burn your server?
According to the WTO's regulations on virtual products and services, it is free of tariffs when selling games, so there is no problem of tax avoidance.
It is foreseeable that in the next few years, a number of high-quality VR games will emerge in the phantom helmet, changing from the unique pattern of future technology to the pattern of blooming flowers.
......
Microsoft Game Studio, or MGS for short, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Microsoft that develops and distributes games for Windows-based PCs and Xbox and Xbox360 game consoles. Its game development involves multiple fields from RTS to RPG, and its representative works include the well-known "Era of Empire", "Fable of the Gods", "Rise of the Country", "Halo", and "Freelance Cavalry", which is called the world A "rich" console game company is not an exaggeration.
In this industry summit, Future Human Technology certainly invited MGS, and MGS CEO Aiden Nelson also flew to California personally for the face.
After attending the VR Game Industry Summit in Silicon Valley, Aiden walked out of the venue with a sullen face. Without a word, he flew back to Redmond, Washington, USA, and went directly to Microsoft headquarters with his suitcase.
He gave the suitcase to the secretary. He took a briefcase and stood at the door of the CEO's office. After taking a deep breath, he pushed the door and walked in.
As he expected, CEO Satya Nadella is in the office. When seeing Aiden enter the door, Satya put the pen in his hand aside and looked up at him.
"How is it going?"
Aiden opened his hand and did n’t know how to answer, just took a document from his briefcase.
"This is the VR technology sharing agreement given by Future Human Technology. The fruit they give is very sweet, but the conditions are ..."
After thinking for a long time, Aiden spit out a word.
"Very harsh."
It seems that Satya did not hear what his men said, took the document and looked at it, and pushed the eyes on the bridge of his nose.
After half an hour, Satya put down the file in his hand, picked up the pen that was on the side, and signed his name at the end.
"Not bad."
Satia looked at the name and swallowed.
"Do we really want them to hold MGS? Although it is only 5% of the shares ..."
"Thinking from another angle, paying 5% of the shares will allow MGS to survive, which is also a good ending." Satya grunted and shook his head with a smile.
Give up 5% of the shares in MGS is equivalent to spending 500 million to join the agreement. The possibility of entering the field of virtual reality can be exchanged for only 500 million yuan, and this transaction is not too bad at all. What's more, Microsoft does not have much choice.
The launch of VR equipment is like an industry reshuffle. In this reshuffle, even a small workshop with a market value of $ 1 may become a big company with a market value of tens of billions that dominate the VR game market in the future. To be sure, those small-scale game manufacturers must have signed without hesitation. If Microsoft hesitates at this time, MGS may even be thrown away by those small companies in the field of VR.
Not to mention that in the agreement, Future Human Technology also promised to make certain compensation for companies with high market value. This compensation is mainly reflected in the tilt of training resources. Large companies have a richer talent pool, and in the future, Renren Technology will also send more technical consultants to "help" them to become familiar with development tools.
Anyway, it ’s all a family.
"MGS's next strategic goal is to port Minecraft to VRgame. The only requirement is to occupy the sandbox game market and get ahead of all companies!"
Microsoft ’s Minecraft, which was purchased for $ 2.5 billion, was originally intended for the new HoloLens. However, sales of HoloLens have proven their fiasco in the VR game.
Porting Minecraft to a competitor's platform is, in a sense, equivalent to a defeat in disguise. But to think about it from another angle, this is a choice. After all, it is not a wise move to die with the future-oriented group that has an absolute advantage on the VR device.
But ... is this really good?
After picking up the agreement and looking at the expressionless face of the group CEO, Aiden finally couldn't help but ask.
"Is this really good?" (To be continued.)
