Ninety percent of Internet cafes in the United States have downloaded the Firefly game platform, and "Doom" and "Warcraft 1" have become standard Internet cafes. Without these, I am sorry to call it an Internet cafe! Whenever you walk into an Internet cafe and look around, you are either playing "Warcraft 1" or "Doom".

In the Internet cafes, the voice of shouting, one after another!

"Send troops, let's go together!!!"

"Kill the boss!!!"

"..."

There were a lot of people in the Internet cafe, and two or three people were standing behind a machine and watching, to be precise, waiting for the other party to disembark! In Internet cafes with a lot of traffic, there are even long lines at the door.

The firefly game platform has risen to fame overnight.

"Warcraft 1" and "Doom" suddenly became popular all over the world!

Because these two games can only be played on the Firefly game platform at present, this has actually led to a surge in the number of Internet access in American households. According to incomplete statistics, the next day, there were as many as 500,000 new Internet home users in the United States! Experts say that the subsequent explosive growth of Internet home users will continue until the Firefly Game Company releases game CDs!

"Los Angeles Times": "July 1 can be called American Game Day. On this day, Firefly Games Company released two new games-"Warcraft 1" and "Doom", these two games instantly swept the world. , Becoming the most popular game now! On this day, for the first time, players who play computer games surpass those who play TV games, breaking the long-term dominant position of TV games, which is a milestone!!!"

"Wall Street Journal": "According to data released by the Firefly Game Company at 1:00 a.m. on July 2, the number of downloads of the Firefly game platform reached 4.5 million, 3 million registered users, and up to 5 million purchase registration codes. Most users almost buy the registration codes of the two games! A registration code is 20 dollars, that is, Firefly Games’ first-day revenue is as high as 100 million US dollars! The registration code is just a program written, compared with the traditional game CD, its manufacturing and The cost of sales is almost zero. It can be seen that Firefly Games will make high profits through these two games! According to the comprehensive evaluation of many Wall Street evaluation agencies, the market value of Firefly Games is at least 10 billion U.S. dollars!"

"USA Today": "The U.S. economy has suddenly accelerated in these two days. The reason is actually because of one game platform and two games! On July 1, the Firefly game platform and "Warcraft 1" and "Destroy After the release of the two games "Warrior", they soon became popular throughout the United States. After that, the number of Internet access and the sales of computers, beverages and food increased to varying degrees. It drove the development of the US economy!"

Recently, the computer system administrator of Carnegie Mellon University issued an online notice: “Since the release of the Firefly game platform, there has been an abnormal situation in the school’s network. After analysis, we believe that it is the two on the Firefly game platform. This new game has caused network overload...all "Doom" and "Warcraft 1" players please be careful. Do not play online games, it will bring a lot of network traffic, our campus network load is close to the limit. No change. We will forcibly disconnect the internet! Repeat again: Do not use the online mode when playing Doom and Warcraft 1!"

The computer room administrator of the Department of Computer Science at Stanford University said: "Since the release of "Doom" and "Warcraft 1", students have lined up tens of meters outside the computer room in order to play these two games. This situation has been seriously affected. It’s time for the students to study. Therefore, I decided to write a small program that will traverse each machine and delete "Doom" and "Warcraft 1"!"

Intel Corporation.

"Report to the supervisor. The network is abnormal!!!"

"What's the situation?! How could the network be abnormal?" the supervisor asked in shock and confusion.

"Report to the supervisor, after some inspection, we have found the reason for the network abnormality! According to our tracking, it is because a large number of company employees are playing "Doom" and "Warcraft 1"!!!"

As soon as the supervisor heard this, his hand shook, and a sparkling cigarette fell to the ground, and "Warcraft 1" was running on his computer at the moment.

"Okay, I see, immediately prohibit employees from running "Doom" and "Warcraft 1" in the company!!!"

"Understood, Director, I will give you a notice immediately!"

"Ok!"

At this time, allies typed out a line on the computer screen: "Robinson, what's the matter with you, let you send troops, you are so uncooperative, my soldiers were killed by the computer!"

"I'm really sorry, I just answered the phone!" the supervisor explained, "I will send troops over now!"

The supervisor just transferred the soldiers, and a notice of prohibition of playing games was sent to Intel's ICQ enterprise group.

At this time, the supervisor saw the other person typing: "I'm paralyzed, the supervisor asks someone to issue a notice, not to play games in the company!"

When the supervisor heard this, he was surprised, oh, is the other party also at Intel? !

...

EA games company.

"The Firefly Game Company is too powerful. The three-dimensional graphics and astounding running speed of "Doom" is simply awe-inspiring! "Warcraft 1" is played in real time, not the turn-based strategy game that is common in strategy games. . And by deploying troops and deploying this kind of macro operation, it is easier for people to experience the pleasure of operation!"

"Firefly Game Company will surely rise this time, and our opponents are strong again!"

"..."

Nintendo of Japan.

"Immediately send someone to contact the Firefly Game Company and ask them to transplant "Doom" and "Warcraft 1" to our SFC home consoles!" Nintendo President Pu Yamauchi held an emergency meeting and said with a serious expression!

"Hi!!!"

Henry came to ID-software game company at this time. He said to CEO John Carmack: "John Carmack, how about we develop an editing tool for Doom, so that players can create levels by themselves?"

When John Carmack heard this, he pondered for a while, and said: "Chairman, your idea is very good. It will definitely attract more people to become "Doom" players, and will produce a large number of loyal players!!! "

John Carmack paused, and said excitedly: "Oh, the thought of playing the game levels you made by yourself is awesome!"

"Yes!!!" Henry nodded, and then said to John Carmack, "This kind of program that can be modified, I call it MOD, the abbreviation of modification (meaning modification), which can be used to modify the props in computer games. Make changes to, weapons, characters, enemies, things, modes, storylines, etc., or add new props and things!" Henry said this, and paused, "However, we need to pay special attention to one problem!"

"If the mods made by players are popular and generate commercial value, then how should this profit be distributed! Therefore, we should first make a formal statement to avoid later litigation because of these commercial disputes!" Henry thought for a while. , Said, "In order to encourage and stimulate many players to make mods! I think it can be written in the statement that if the mods made by players have commercial value, we can sign contracts with them and give them a portion of the benefits, eh? For example, this 1% of the proceeds from MOD..."

John Carmack smiled in surprise: "Chairman~lightnovelpub.net~ In this way, I can already imagine that there will be a lot of players participating in the production of MOD!"

Henry laughed and said: "Hehe, this is the best. They are equivalent to free labor to help us develop games, enrich game content, and increase popularity! Anyway, if you don’t sign a contract, there will be no money for them! As for whether to sign a contract, it is entirely up to us , And we will only sign MODs with obvious commercial value. In the final analysis, we are still making a lot of money!"

"In addition, if a game continues to have players making mods, the game will continue to last for a long time and continue to bring profits to the company. However, we can save a lot of manpower and resources in this game, so that we can concentrate our efforts. Carefully create another brand new game!"

When John Carmack heard the words, he nodded repeatedly. He could not wait to develop the MOD editor. "Chairman, then I will develop the MOD editor for Doom now!!!"

Henry smiled: "Well, you go!"

"Good!" John Carmack responded excitedly, and hurried out!
