When Yang Dongxu was testing the pressure on those who jumped out from South Korea, some large companies in the domestic game market finally saw the opportunity to overturn the giant mountain of Rising Sun Technology.
As a result, various newspapers and gossips began to fan the flames, and many companies even decided to create private servers of Legend themselves. In short, the only purpose was to seize this opportunity, dethrone "Legend", the undisputed king of game revenue in the country in the past two years, and then replace it themselves. .
"Is there no way to ban it?" In the Rising Sun Technology Office, at least half of the staff here have been replaced compared to two days ago. In particular, the company's management has been reduced by two-thirds in an instant, but the few people were quickly replaced.
Yang Dongxu is short of everything, except for IT talents and IT company management talents. There is no way that he has been too ruthless in his previous bargain hunting. He has a lot of bankrupt Internet company employees who have no place to arrange, and many of them are on white-collar wages.
But basically now about four-fifths of the companies have been sorted out, and everyone continues to develop according to the previous development model, although they are still losing money after the reorganization due to the depression of the Internet industry. However, some projects and technology research and development are already on track.
"It's difficult. After all, the technical threshold has been reduced a lot after having the source code. Private servers don't have to update new maps, and they don't have to invest in research and development. Even the game screen requirements don't have to be so high. It doesn't matter even if you get disconnected while playing.
In short, they can do everything without investing money in research and development. They can just spend a thousand dollars to connect to a server. Then find a few people who understand technology to adjust the technical parameters and it will be operational. Chang Hao said helplessly.
No matter what game or technology, the biggest investment is actually in research and development, and the most profitable thing is to directly copy the game without spending a penny, and it doesn't have to be as perfect as the copycat, as long as it can barely keep running.
What's even more speechless is that if the game crashes directly, there is no need for any technical repair or compensation. You can just close the game and reopen a vest.
At that time, those private server players who spend money to buy equipment will at most just curse MMP in their mouths, and then while cursing, they will look for other private servers that look pretty good to open, and then go in and spend dozens of dollars to continue having fun. A wave.
In short, the genuine legend is like feeding the appetite of these private server players. Level heights and equipment heights that cannot be achieved in the genuine legend can be achieved in the private server one by one. Countless emotions suppressed in the official Legend can be vented in the Legend private server.
In short, the genuine Legend is cultivating the market in the front, while the private server is harvesting leeks in various ways without capital. In the end, the genuine Legend collapsed, and some people not only played with feelings, but the private server market also slumped along with it.
"How about finding some technicians to hack their servers specifically for these private servers?" Yang Dongxu obviously doesn't have a good reputation. Since you don't care about intellectual property rights and cut off the legends in various ways, then don't blame him for using other methods. means.
Although the private server investment is very small, the thousands of dollars invested are still money, so one hacker comes out and the server is hacked before they make any money. This is also a wave for them. Failed investments. If there are too many failures, only losses and no money will be made, then naturally no one will open a private server.
"It's okay for a short time, but it's not cost-effective if it takes too long. Even if we have a lot of technical staff here to crash the other party's server, we probably won't be able to close it as fast as others. After all, the source code can be connected to the server in an instant. ." Chang Hao said.
Yang Dongxu frowned. It might take several hours to hack a server, and it would require a few good technicians to work together. But to open a private server, it would only take ten minutes to get the source code into the server. Because they don't need to debug or use the inner side at all. If it works, if it doesn't work, they will get another one.
"What about blocking the connection port?" Yang Dongxu looked at Qiu Bosong beside him.
Since there is nothing we can do about the private server after the source code is leaked, blocking the link from the source is a good measure. After all, if players want to play a private server, they must find the entrance to the private server before they can play. If these links are all blocked, they will not be able to promote one after another. If players don’t know that this private server exists, they will naturally be unable to play.
“In principle, it is possible, but the laws on the Internet are not perfect now, so if we notify the website to block some links, they may or may not block them.
And you can’t even hack these links. After all, they are not private servers, but serious websites, or diversion ports with formal procedures. If we attack other people’s websites, they will sue us. "Qiu Bosong said.
Yang Dongxu's face was gloomy, and he was completely disgusted.
But this is the current domestic Internet environment. In short, it is not against the law for a website to just link to it, because the link is not to your banana-colored website, nor is it an illegal website, it is a legendary private server.
The private server may violate the copyright of Legend, which involves legal disputes, but the dispute with Xuri Technology is the private server, not the website. Therefore, if Xuri Technology has trouble with its website, they can sue you if Xuri Technology breaks the law.
"Fuck!" Yang Dongxu cursed without hesitation.
While they were having a meeting, people from Lianzhong and Ninetowns Games were also having a meeting. First of all, Lianzhong was originally the number one player in domestic games, although it only ran some small games.
But since the release of Legend, a large number of players in their hands were instantly diverted away. Then they failed to reach an agreement with China Telecom and Internet on the initial bidding price, and the money they received in the end did not meet expectations, so they did not earn more. profit.
So as the legend became more and more popular, Lianzhong became more and more sad, especially when Telecom finally canceled the time-based charges and changed them to monthly subscriptions, and no longer gave them a share of the profits. They were on the verge of bankruptcy in an instant, and could only accept some small advertisements and make some traffic income.
In the end, I tightened my belt and collected money to represent "King of Kings" and finally got some success, but my life was just half-dead because most of the profits were divided by "Legend". In addition, the legend continued to Updated maps and gameplay have attracted the enthusiasm of players, and they have no way to increase their profits.
The same situation as Lianzhong is The9. As the second largest game company in mainland China after Rising Sun Technology, The9 has represented many games in the past two years. At the beginning, the results of "Three Kingdoms" were mediocre, and this year's "Stone Age" Players have been unable to get on.
Therefore, when looking at the company's performance in the first half of the year, small companies may still be able to enjoy the soup with little investment, while large game companies demand more because of their huge investment. Everyone frowns when looking at the extreme performance statistics in their hands.
Then in the second half of the year, the situation has not been opened up. Just when everyone was thinking hard and losing hope, something happened to Legend.
So Lin Wei, who was sitting in the Nine City Conference Room, had the urge to laugh at this moment and shouted: "The strongest fortresses are broken from the inside. The ancients never deceived me."
She had always had a face as cold as an iceberg, but today she had a smile on her face from the meeting until now. This made the company managers who were very afraid of him rub their eyes and wonder if they were delusional.
"Contact the media to expose it. We must take this opportunity to knock down the momentum of Rising Sun Technology. Legend will never let him get up again, and the swordsman will also be dragged down." Lin Wei could not take back the smile on her face. , maintaining his usual serious and dignified face.
But if you feel happy, just smile more. Ever since she took over the job of CEO Jiucheng, she has felt that her face is sullen all day long. When she comes home every night, her expression has become more relaxed and her wrinkles have increased.
"What's the latest progress in the cases of those programmers?" Lin Wei adjusted her expression and asked.
"The boss behind Xuri Technology seems to be very powerful, and Guojian also wants to establish his authority. The Korean embassy protested before, and our Ministry of Foreign Affairs had a tough attitude. Recently, I don't know if the boss of Xuri Technology has opened up relations with South Korea. . The public opinion that had been stirred up before began to decline, and the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs seemed to be somewhat relaxed and no longer as insistent as before."
"Are these people going to be sentenced in China?" Lin Wei couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
"Judging from the current situation, this is the case. After all, South Korea is unreasonable in this matter. The previous protests and statements were a bit unreasonable and had no advantage. Once we persisted, they gave up."
"Will the sentence be announced in the country?" Lin Wei's face darkened and she tapped her fingers on the table.
If these people are really extradited and sentenced by South Korea, even if Rising Sun Technology is the victim as a competitor, she will follow up and add insult to injury to show her patriotism. The extradition of these programmers back to the country is said to be because Xuri Technology is afraid and will not insist on it.
This further attacks the other party's image in the minds of domestic players. This blow alone may prove that Rising Sun Technology will never be able to turn around. After all, the patriotism and angry youth of netizens are now in a state of explosion.
"Do you want......"
"Don't do stupid things!" Lin Wei looked cold.
If the other party is really extradited back to the country, it would be fine to add insult to injury, but now that the higher-ups have withstood the pressure and insisted on sentencing these people in China, no matter what outsiders speculate, the boss of Rising Sun Technology has great influence.
Or the country wants to do this to establish prestige and set an example for migrant workers in the country. It all shows that there is a unified attitude from above. At this time, helping South Korea to support extradition from behind is not only disgusting Rising Sun Technology, but also clearly showing that betraying the country in front of the people above will reap the rewards?
So anyone who can come up with such an idea has no brains.
"Don't worry about the case trial. First, we should seize the leakage of the other party's game source code and employees' private purchase of equipment and gold coins, and then find a way to see if we can collapse the internal game economy of Legend. As long as those game equipment depreciate, this game wants to It’s hard not to die.” Lin Wei said.
This woman's gaze undoubtedly accurately grasped the key to killing the legend.
