I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World

Chapter 769: VRgame is online!

The last good news is the phantom helmet about future people's technology.

In early April, Future Technology held a special vr game industry summit in the Silicon Valley branch of Los Angeles, inviting hundreds of well-known game makers around the world to sign the vr technology sharing agreement.

As early as the beginning of last year, Furen Technology has opened up the development tools of vr software at all requirements. However, because there are no supporting training institutions, major game manufacturers are making slow progress when they transplant their games to the vr platform. . And with the exception of Microsoft, Sony, Sega, and Ubisoft, almost no one has the financial resources to rent a supercomputer as a server for their own games.

It is precisely because of this, until April this year, there is still no large vr game in addition to "God-level continent" on the market.

But now this situation will soon end.

According to the signed vr technology sharing agreement, Future People Group will send technical consultants to major game companies to train a group of technicians who can use the basic vr development tools. Future Group will hold 5% of the shares of the participating game companies in the form of technology shares. This 5% stake will enable Future Technology to secure a seat on the board of each game company.

However, the Future Group promises to exercise only limited voting rights on the board of directors.

At the same time, in the latest update, the phantom helmet added the vrgame icon to the menu interface. Although it is only a black frame, it just pops up and looks forward to it.

The location of vrgame is similar to steam on pc, users can buy games through vrgame. All companies that join the technology sharing agreement will be eligible to join vrgame. For games sold by other companies, Future Technology only charges 20% of total sales as a channel fee and a relatively low rent based on server resource usage.

For technical reasons, the future group of people completely blocked the possibility of piracy on the channel, and vr games were originally the development direction of the next era of games, so the vrgame application immediately attracted the attention of countless game manufacturers.

What is even more directly announced at the shareholders' meeting of the company, all the energy into the development of vr games, completely abandon the pirated version of the pc field.

At the same time, the launch of vrgame also let game makers in China see the hope of rising. At the beginning of 2000, there were still many outstanding stand-alone games in China, including Meteor Butterfly Sword, Gu Jianqi Tan, Sword and Seal. However, these masterpieces, which once had the hope of competing with Japanese game companies, have all died in their own hands. Even if the country did not go out, it was robbed and ruined.

The only series of the swords that barely survived to the present, also started to do business with selling money.

But now this situation can be over.

All vr games are run on the servers of Future People Group, and any server rental application without copyright registration will be returned. In addition, the subject matter that some national game manufacturers are worried about can be solved perfectly on vrgame.

The translation system that comes with the platform makes the language not a problem at all. Even if the game you made is not in the country, it can be sold in the new country to conquer the global market. The "vulnerabilities" in the phantom helmet also enable players in other regions to buy games for sale in the new country. In other words, as long as your game is good enough, even if it is sold in a new country with a population of 100,000, the sales volume can still break through 100 million.

Can those in the incineration department still run to the new country and burn your server?

According to the WTO regulations on virtual product services, there is no tariff avoidance when crossing the sale of games, so there is no tax avoidance problem.

It is foreseeable that in the next few years, a number of high-quality vr games will emerge in the Phantom Helmet, from the pattern of future people's technology to a unique pattern, to the pattern of a hundred flowers.

......

Microsoft Game Studio, or mgs for short, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Microsoft that develops and distributes games for windos-based PCs and x-wave and x-wave 360 ​​game consoles. Its development games range from rts to rpg, and its masterpieces include the Age of Empires, Fables, The Rise of the Country, The Halo, and The Freedom Lancer. A "rich" console game company can't be overstated.

At this industry summit, the future people technology certainly invited mgs, and the cs Eden Nelson of mgs also gave a face to California.

After attending the vr game industry summit in Silicon Valley, Aiden walked out of the venue with a sullen face, and then flew back to Redmond, Washington, USA, and took the suitcase directly to Microsoft headquarters.

The suitcase was handed over to the secretary. He stood at the door of the ceo office with a briefcase and took a deep breath and pushed the door and went in.

As he expected, ceo Satya Nadella was working. When seeing Aiden enter the door, Satya put the pen in his hand aside and looked up at him.

"How's it going?"

Aiden spread his hand and didn't know how to answer it. He just took out a document from the briefcase.

"This is the vr technology sharing agreement given by People Technology in the future. The fruits they give are very sweet, but the conditions..."

After thinking for a long time, Aiden spit out a word.

"It's very demanding."

Satya seemed to have not heard the words of his men, took the documents and looked down, pushing the eyes on the bridge of the nose.

Half an hour later, Satya put down the documents in her hand, picked up the pen on the side, and signed her name at the end.

"Not bad."

Satya looked at the name and swallowed.

“Do we really want them to hold mgs? Although it’s only 5% of the shares...”

"From another angle, it would be a good ending to pay 5% of the shares to make mgs live." Satya snorted and smiled and shook his head.

Letting out the 5% of the shares of mgs is equivalent to spending 500 million to join the agreement. With only 500 million yuan in exchange for the possibility of entering the virtual reality field, this sale is not too bad. What's more, Microsoft doesn't have much choice.

The introduction of vr equipment is like an industry reshuffle. In this reshuffle, even a small workshop with a market value of 1 US dollar may become the market value of a billion-dollar company in the future. To be sure, those small-scale game makers must have signed without hesitation. If Microsoft hesitates at this time, mgs may even be opened by the small companies in the vr field.

What's more, in the agreement, the future people's technology is also promised, and will make certain compensation for companies with high market value. This kind of compensation is mainly reflected in the tilt of training resources. Large companies have a richer talent pool, and Future Technology will send more technical consultants to “help” them familiar with development tools.

Anyway, they are all family members.

"The next strategic goal of mgs is to transplant the nerat to vrgame. The only requirement is to occupy the sandbox game market and grab it in front of all companies!"

Microsoft's $2.5 billion purchase of the nerat was originally intended for the new hololens, but the sales of hololens have proved their fiasco in the vr field.

Transplanting the nerat to the platform of the competitor, in a sense, this is equivalent to a disguised form of admit defeat. But from another angle, this is also a choice. After all, it’s not wise to die on the vr device with a group of future people who have an absolute advantage.

But... is this really good?

Picking up the agreement and looking at the expressionless face of the group ceo, Aiden couldn't help but ask.

"Is that really good?" (To be continued.)
