Chapter 1445 Where Are the People?

Everyone was unsure, wondering how the players would react?

When all the players heard the news that "Contra NE" would end one day, and that all the games in "Second World" would end one day, they were stunned! They had never considered this when playing online games, and had never thought that online games would end one day. (Reading novels) All online game players had never had this concept in their minds. In their opinion, as long as the game was still there, they could experience the fun of the game at any time.

But now that Lin Feng's news was announced, it was different. Online games would end, so they had spent so much time and energy to train such powerful characters in the game. If the game ended, wouldn't it mean that everything they had paid for would be gone? All the things in the past would only become memories in their minds? Those equipment, levels, friends and reputations would no longer exist?

Thinking of this possibility undoubtedly made all online game players thrilled. If this was really the case, who would dare to play an online game. After all, when you are having the most fun, the game suddenly ends, and everything you have is gone. Isn't this going to drive people crazy!

As the reporter announced this news, the global gaming community suddenly became noisy. All players, regardless of whether they are online game players or not, began to discuss enthusiastically whether Lin Feng's idea of ​​an online game with an ending is right.

No, I firmly oppose the idea that online games will end one day. If it ends, then everything I have invested before will be completely meaningless. In this case, why do I still play online games? Isn't that a waste of time and energy? ——A very loyal online game player protested loudly.

Yes, if the online game ends, then where can we find the things we have? These are things that we have spent a lot of time and energy to get, how can they just disappear like that! ——Many players protested.

"Boss, now the outside public opinion is questioning! Including those stand-alone game manufacturers have jumped out again." Wu Zhaopu said with a frown.

"Although our company has always been mainly engaged in stand-alone games, we have also developed several online games that were once popular (Magical Baby), so we still have some say in online games. In our opinion, online games are a place for everyone to communicate about games. If it ends, it not only means that the equipment and levels that everyone has worked hard to obtain are gone, but also means that the friends with similar interests that we met in the game are gone. This is undoubtedly fatal. In addition, although stand-alone games also have endings, the difference from online games is that after completing a stand-alone game, we can create gods and continue playing the game at any time from the previous game record, but online games are different. Once it ends, we can no longer experience the game. Because the client is on the side of the game development company, not the player. Therefore, although the two seem to have similarities, in fact, there is a big gap.!" Enix-Square President Yoichi Wada commented.

Yoichi Wada's words undoubtedly made these questioning remarks even worse. The official website of "Second World" is full of protests against the ending of online games, and they all asserted that if "Second World" dares to end a game, then they will stop playing all games of "Second World". In order to show their determination and give a warning to "Second World", almost all games under "Second World" chose to sit in and protest in the game at the same time.

"Boss, this is really a big trouble!" Wu Zhaopu frowned.

Now in his opinion, Lin Feng's plan to have an ending for the online game is really terrible. Originally, why should online games have an ending? Isn't it better to let players keep playing? Anyway, the company can make money, so why bother so much. When there are no players at all, just shut down the server. As a result, Lin Feng now has such a plan to directly let all players go on strike. Isn't this an opportunity for other game companies!

Isn't it! After "Second World" announced that the online game has an ending, facing the anger of the players, all online game companies announced that all their online games can be played all the time, and players will never worry about the end of the game.

Obviously, these online game companies that have been suppressed by "Second World" before hope to be able to take advantage of this opportunity to regroup and completely suppress "Second World".

"Boss Wu, don't worry. I'm prepared for the players' opposition. Although it's so strong, all the games are sitting in protest at the same time, which is a bit beyond my expectation, but it doesn't mean I'm not prepared. Therefore, I will never compromise this time. Because online games must have an ending!" Lin Feng said firmly.

"Why? Boss, why is this?" Wu Zhaopu was puzzled. Isn't Lin Feng asking for trouble? He can easily make money by creating gods, why does he have to make things difficult for the players! Isn't this just asking for trouble?

Lin Feng smiled faintly. Then he turned on the computer, entered "utube", opened the video, and started a live broadcast to players around the world.

"Hello, players. I believe that my company's 'Second World' recently announced that all its games have an ending moment, which has caused a lot of controversy. I'm afraid that most people are against it." Lin Feng looked at the camera and talked freely.

"I know the reason for your objections. You are worried that everything you have put in before will be in vain, that your efforts will eventually become piles of data, and that your friends will also end because the game is over. Here, I want to remind you something , after all, games are just games, not life. Your life is on this earth. I hope everyone understands this. Of course, it is normal for you to feel sorry for it after all. But I want to ask. One sentence - when playing games, do we focus on the process or the results? "

Lin Feng's words undoubtedly shocked many people, and also made more people reflect on themselves.

"The process is important, but so are the results!" Some people with ulterior motives posted posts on the Internet, questioning Lin Feng.

"Yes, the process is important, and the results are also important, but have you ever thought about it, if an online game has no ending and everyone keeps playing, would it be interesting? We don't want to end an online game through our own efforts. , and then start a new online game experience? What's more, the ending I am talking about is not a sudden shutdown of the server, but when the player completes the ultimate task in the game, it changes the game process and pushes the game to the final ending. An ending. This ending is jointly created by all players. Each player plays an important role in it. You will witness with your own eyes the end of an online game that you have devoted a lot of time and energy to. What a proud and proud thing!" Lin Feng said emotionally.

Faced with Lin Feng's rhetorical question, many players fell into deep thought. After all, no matter how fun an online game is, it will always get boring. If you can rely on your own efforts to promote the development of an online game and finally let it enter the final chapter of the game, this is indeed a very proud thing.

"However, this is not an excuse for you to deprive us of the right to play games. It is us players who have the final say whether to play games or not, not the game developers!" one player said in a difficult manner.

However, this kind of difficulty quickly received responses from thousands of netizens. It is indeed quite sad to think that the game character that you have worked so hard to build has finally come to nothing.

"Everyone, let me reiterate again. When I say the end of the game, I mean that all players have jointly completed several ultimate tasks in the game, changing the course of the game and bringing the game to the finale. The process in between requires All players have to complete it by themselves. It can be said that the end is not ended by our company, but by each player. Therefore, at least 70% of the players need to work together to complete these tasks. Whether an online game will end, I think, does not depend on our company, but whether you players really want to complete such a task and end an online game. Also, it is not the end of the entire game, but the completion. If one server terminates the task and the other servers have not completed the task, they can still create a god game," Lin Feng said.

Regarding what Lin Feng said, all the players were silent. You know, when an online game reaches a certain stage, when all players' levels and equipment reach a certain stage, players will feel very empty and lonely. It needs more stimulation, otherwise it will always be meaningless pk, which can easily make people boring. And such an ultimate mission is indeed very attractive. And it's like a curse.

Lin Feng sets such a curse for players, which is to artificially limit the life cycle of an online game to facilitate the launch of the next online game of the same type. According to the "Second World" survey, the most profitable time for an online game is in the first and second years of its launch. At this time, everyone's enthusiasm is the highest, and its level, equipment, etc. are also the lowest. It takes a lot of time to play the game. At this time, game developers naturally have the greatest profits.

After three years, when everyone's level, equipment, and novelty of the game have risen to a higher level, their enthusiasm for the game will naturally begin to decline. After 5 years, its enthusiasm for gaming will be even lower, and the company's profits will naturally be lower.

However, its operating costs have not dropped, which will impose a huge burden on the company. In the end, there is only one ending, merging areas, merging areas, and finally closing when there is no one left. In that case, why bother? It is better to directly give players an ultimate mission to end an online game!
