The mark of the times is always silent. When "wearing shoe covers in front of the computer room, buttoning marbles under the mouse" is still the common memory of many post-80s who have grown up with the Internet and the information age, mobile phones have become the most important intelligent terminals for most people, and what accompanies it is an anomalous phenomenon - today's young people, many of them can no longer use computers.
Saying that young people can't use computers, it's not that they are the same as the old people who "don't know what a computer is", but the most basic way of operating the computer that we mean is too far away for them, and even the most radical and most contact with the computer gamers will also make a lot of incredible "jokes", for example, a recent "Against the Cold Water" player, he asked others very sincerely: I always watch others say that they want to go to YY on the world channel, what is YY?
"Against the Cold Water" is currently the best screen performance on the market, the most heavy end game masterpiece, because the picture material quality is extremely high and the gameplay is rich, the client size of this game has exceeded 100 G, it can be said that simply downloading this game is already a relatively heavy player to do. And the game's players do not know what the most important voice chat tool in the end game era, YY, is the game's own chat tool or the software that needs to be downloaded separately, this sense of difference, so that many gamers feel stunned.
Many players sighed, unconsciously, they have become the "old generation" abandoned by the market, originally felt that playing the game under YY is deserved, but what they did not expect was that the new generation of players who were "educated" by the various built-in chat systems on mobile games did not know how to play the computer well, and they needed to find and install supporting tools... There are some players who have some sad expressions, before thinking that the end game is so fun, why game manufacturers are reluctant to do the end game, now look at young people will not even use the computer, suddenly understand why the end of the game is finished.
Duanyou has become an outcast of the times, which may really be a helpless reality. In fact, in recent years, there has not been a new terminal game product on the market, and the number of newly listed terminal games is even less than that of console games, which is unimaginable to former players in any way. One of the reasons why the end game is abandoned is actually that after the popularity of smart phones, the mobile game has a large number of potential user groups, so game developers are naturally more willing to put "investment" in areas where it is easier to obtain revenue, and the end game is gradually abandoned.
On the other hand, compared with mobile games, traditional terminal games are really an asset-heavy project that is too "resource-consuming". Because the players have a longer game age and more core relationship, the degree of pickiness of the game itself by the end gamers is also comparable to that of non-mobile games, and the end game itself is a "continuous operation" game type, even after the listing, the game manufacturers also have to spend a lot of money to form a team to update and iterate the game, of which the cost is even larger - for example, "Against the Water Cold" Since its launch in 2018, NetEase in order to maintain the update iteration of the game, Maintaining a huge team of more than 200 people to carry out follow-up research and development of the game, and such a large-scale team, the salary expenditure alone is tens of millions of dollars per month, which is an uncompromising heavy asset.
The good point is that the players of the end game are more affectionate, and the end game product itself is also an excellent "testing ground", NetEase is willing to invest heavily in the update iteration of "Reverse Water Cold", that is, to use the screen advantage and number of players of "Reverse Water Cold" itself to try the most popular and popular game play on the market. For a large manufacturer with capital, this technological accumulation itself is also a very important part.
In any case, the glory of duanyou has receded. So, at the moment when the post-00s will not use the computer, how many possibilities do you think there is still for the terminal tour to turn over?
