Chapter 186 Suicide

The Flamingo-1 game console and the games on this platform are so popular that major game companies around the world have basically purchased a batch from RB and taken them back for research, and they are all shocked!

"The performance of Flamingo-1 is much better than that of Atari 2600. It runs faster, the game is smoother, and the color of the picture is more beautiful. More importantly, the eleven games released by Flamingo this time are really It’s so fun, especially "Super Mario". This game can be called a model for video games, establishing the production concepts of characters, game goals, process distribution, operability, hidden elements, BOSS, miscellaneous soldiers, etc.!!!"

"Yeah, let us know how we should develop games in the future!"

“With junk games flooding the market, it’s incredible that Flamingo Company has so many refreshing games, and many of them are groundbreaking games!”

"The really awesome one is Chronos Li. He designed all these games by himself! As far as I know, during the year when Chronos Li was in a coma, his consciousness was actually clear, and he designed the games in his mind. So many games!”

"This is a game empire that is propped up by one person!!!"

"That's right, it used to be Sunbird Company, but now it's Flamingo Company. When Christmas comes, Flamingo will replace Sunbird Company. It's really full of drama!"

"Haha, what's ridiculous is that Sunbird Company has issued a banning order. Who will abide by its banning order now? Anyone with any sense knows that Flamingo Company wants to replace Sunbird Company's game dominance. We, It’s time for third-party game developers to show their attitude, and the sooner the better!”

"Yes!"

"..."

Therefore, on the second day after the release of the Flamingo-1 game console, hundreds of third-party game developers around the world publicly announced their willingness to develop games for the Flamingo-1 game console.

When Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Smith heard this, he fainted on the spot...

At this time, the Warner Bros. board of directors held a meeting and officially dismissed Kevin Smith as CEO.

Then an executive director named Gavin Howard was sent as the company's CEO.

After Gavin Howard came to power, he announced two things. First, to develop a new game console, the performance of the machine must exceed that of the Flamingo-1; second, to speed up game development and make sure to release it before Christmas. Be the first to snipe the Flamingo-1 game console.

Gavin Howard previously worked as an executive in the film department and didn't understand games.

If you want to make a classic and fun game, you must spend a lot of time. Usually the game development cycle takes more than a year. Now, he is asking Sunbird to release multiple new games before the Christmas promotions. You can imagine how rubbish these games are.

However, Gavin Howard apparently didn't realize this. He believes that when Sunbird Company releases a new game and players buy it, they will have a new game to play. Naturally, they will not spend money to buy other game consoles and game cartridges in a short period of time, thereby completing the development of Flamingo Company. check. This way of thinking is indeed normal, but the problem is that Sunbird has produced too many junk games. After players buy them, they will definitely complain, causing Sunbird to lose its reputation and create a credit crisis. It will try to regain its credit in the future. , then it will not be easy, and the company may even collapse because of this...

Coca-Cola Chairman Woodruff once said: "If my factory is destroyed by fire, if there is a world financial crisis, as long as the Coca-Cola brand is there, I will stand up again the next day."

Brand is very important to a company. It is an intangible asset and has extremely strong competitiveness!

…

The Flamingo-1 game console and the games on this platform are extremely popular in RB. Within a week, more than 4 million of the Flamingo-1 were sold, which made Ant Factory work overtime every day until late at night. So far, 10,000 people have worked in Ant Factory. The monthly salary is 70 yuan, and 140 yuan for overtime. The salary is much higher than working in other companies. Nowadays, people are trying to get into the factory. Even newspapers across the mainland have reported on the deeds of Ant Factory, causing more and more workers to go to Shenzhen. The more workers there are, the faster Shenzhen will develop.

The Flamingo game is so popular in RB, so the news has naturally spread in the United States.

Almost every day, newspapers or game magazines in the United States introduce the interesting games of Flamingo Company in large sections:

"RB's best-selling game is undoubtedly "Super Mario". Almost every player who buys the Flamingo-1 game console will definitely buy "Super Mario"! This is a game tailor-made for the Flamingo-1 game console. The game we created can be called the originator of side-scrolling puzzle games and is an incomparable classic!”

"The game "Contra" is simply men's favorite. The name of the game means "a person with excellent fighting ability and quality". It is the title given to the strongest warrior. This game belongs to the scroll shooting single-player game , the story background of this game is adapted from the famous horror film "Alien", it is as famous as "Super Mario", almost every player has purchased this game!"

""Tank Battle" is amazing. It is a two-dimensional shooting game with the theme of tank combat and base defense. It belongs to the strategic online category. It is also a rare built-in level editor on the Flamingo-1 game console platform. It’s a game of weapon, players can create their own unique levels, and strengthen their tanks and bases by acquiring some props. The game’s classic index is five stars!”

"..."

The more detailed the newspapers and magazines introduced it, the more itchy American video game players became.

Why is it so fun?

Why is it so fun! ! !

They wish they could play these games now, but unfortunately, Flamingo has not released the games in the United States.

Hundreds of players held up huge banners and demonstrated in front of Flamingo Company.

"Strongly urge Flamingo to release the game in the United States!"

Reporters not far away were surprised and said that this was the first time they had seen someone demonstrating in front of a game company just to play games, and the lineup was so strong!

Flamingo Corporate Headquarters.

Nolan Bushnell and others were in pain and happiness. The people outside were really crazy. They were blocked as soon as they went out. What's more, they even sent razors to threaten the company to release the game!

"Mr. Bushnell, how do you think this matter should be handled?" a company executive asked.

Nolan Bushnell shook his head and said: "Still as planned, we will release it nationwide during the Black Friday Christmas sale!"

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving, the fourth Friday in November, just over twenty days away.

"..."

Since Flamingo never releases the game, people can only ask someone to buy it from RB.

Some businessmen took the opportunity to make a fortune, purchasing goods from RB and bringing them to the United States to sell them at prices several times higher.

Gavin Howard, the new CEO of Warner Bros., saw that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable to Sunbird, so he stayed in the game development department every day, urging them to speed up game development. As a result, in less than two weeks, all 20 games were developed.

So Sunbird released 20 new games in the week before Black Friday.

American video game users heard that Sunbird Company had released a new game, so they couldn't help but check it out. The cover of the game cartridge was quite good, which deceived many players. However, when users started playing the game, they started yelling!

The game graphics are rough, the plot is rubbish, there is no playability at all, and there are many bugs. It is so depressing that it makes you want to vomit blood!

"Fuck Atari 2600 and Sunbird. These are just a few games. I will never buy their games again!!!"

Countless people were so angry that some ran to return the product, while many more simply smashed or threw away the Atari 2600 and game cartridges!

For a time, Atari 2600 and Sunbird game cartridges could be seen everywhere in the garbage dumps of the United States.

Sunbird flagship stores across the United States suddenly became very deserted.

Gavin Howard realized the seriousness of the problem at this time, and the matter had almost reached an irreversible level.

"Mr. Howard, Sunbird's games have seriously hurt the hearts of players and users. In order to save them as much as possible, our only way now is to recycle these garbage games at the original price!" Wu Guangguang suggested.

"Well, just do as you say!" Gavin Howard said weakly.

It's a pity that players are extremely disappointed with Sunbird and Atari. In addition, Flamingo's game is about to be released. Most players have abandoned Sunbird and are ready to choose Flamingo!

At this time, the media was slandering Sunbird Company.

"Popular Electronics": "In order to stop Flamingo, Sunbird Company shortened the game development cycle, resulting in all newly developed games being junk games. Today's players and users can no longer tolerate such junk games. Sunbird Company undoubtedly It’s self-destruction!”

"Los Angeles Daily News": "Gamers were furious and smashed their Atari 2600!"

"Video Games": "Sunbird Company has fallen from the altar!!"

"Hollywood Daily": "As soon as the Flamingo game came out, other game consoles turned into garbage or scraps!"

"..."

Li Zetian was speechless at this time, "Flamingo Company hasn't exerted its strength yet, why can't you do it?"

Holding a glass of red wine, he walked to the balcony and looked at the blue sky and white clouds. He was as lonely as snow!
