The first thousand one hundred and eighty-eight chapters emotion
Golden Plains.
There is never a shortage of people in this world who do it because they really like something...
Similarly, there will be no shortage of people in this world who do something because they make money...
Just like when college students choose majors, they often look at majors with higher employment rates and more profitable professional choices...
Even from a certain perspective, many people actually don’t care what job they do in the future, but there is only one premise, that is, work must be decent, make money, and be able to make people feel respectful at first glance...
In fact, no matter what kind of work it is, it depends on the former and the latter...
It's like a game that is always composed of pure game enthusiasts, casual players, and professional players who aim to make money, the same is true...
The former is the cornerstone of the game and is also the real welcome object of most game companies. The latter, to a large extent, is actually the enemy of the game companies. However, although it is a hostile relationship, the game companies have to admit that it is precisely because of the existence of professional players that they can always inspire the enthusiasm of players...
In fact, many times, what can lead the popularity of the game will be the performance of professional players in all aspects, such as dungeons, equipment, pks, etc., which will make the abilities of professional players fully demonstrate in front of ordinary players. To a certain extent, it is enough to make players realize the fun of the game!
In fact, it is precisely because of the existence of the game that professional players, a special group, enters the sight of ordinary players in a short period of time...
Compared to learning, for ordinary students, games are undoubtedly a relaxing and pleasant experience...
In fact, because of this, many students often envy professional gamers, believing that they can play games every day, and also make money through games, live in luxury villas for training, and have someone to be responsible for three meals every day. This is really a very cool thing...
However, this idea is often very one-sided. Once anything goes from entertainment to work, it will become boring and cruel. Just like in the professional game circle, people who lack talent and hard work will eventually be eliminated, thus wasting their youth in vain. In the entertainment of ordinary passers-by, any mistakes made by players often do not bear too much responsibility and psychological pressure. When they meet more tolerant teammates, they will not even take the initiative to say it. Even if they meet some relatively slandered teammates who always like to swear, it is just a game. For players, there will be no missing piece of meat...
However, in the professional circle, any little mistakes and mistakes will be magnified unlimitedly...
Only those who can constantly prove themselves can survive in this circle, otherwise they will be able to leave sadly...
This is the most essential difference between work and entertainment!
Speaking of which, in the first period of time, the jobs of professional players were far from being decent, profitable, high-end, and elegant, and because of this, professional players were always the purest at the beginning. They always loved the game from the bottom of their hearts. Even if they needed to spend money and energy to take the train competition, they might even be owed the bonus, and they were also willing to enjoy it...
However, with the development of the game, the standardization of the professional circle, and the intervention of the rich, the attention received by professional players has increased. With the support of the country and the emergence of some high-priced competitions, the spring for professional players has also come...
Due to various reasons, the recognition and awareness of professional players in society are also constantly increasing. At least for many parents, if their children really have the talent for gaming, they will not choose to kill them because of this. They will choose to let their children try it themselves and try it out...
Liushui Wuqing himself is a professional player, so he naturally knows the development history of professional players...
From the initial few dilapidated computers and slightly trembling computer screens, to the fact that they live in a studio that is not luxurious but comfortable enough, everyone has their own dedicated computers, each with their own exclusive gaming account, and a contract with generous bonuses and salary...
Such changes happened to Liushui Wuqing himself...
However, even so, Liushui Wuqing was very clear - before the emergence of the fantasy world, professional players were objects that were admired, envied and jealous in the eyes of some people. However, for most people, professional players such professions have not yet truly entered their sight, and they cannot truly gain the recognition of these people...
The reason is very simple. In this world, not everyone will play games, and not everyone will pay attention to games. For professional players, only those who play themselves or have some attention to games will truly understand and like them. For those who do not understand games, in fact, those so-called celebrity professional players are not much different from Passerby A...
Of course, being able to achieve such a step is enough for Liushui Wuqing to satisfy himself...
After all, for professional players, they never hope that they can achieve the reputation and treatment of film and television stars in one step, and that they can gain the recognition of game enthusiasts, which is enough for them!
In fact, before the emergence of the fantasy world, the circle of professional players had already developed greatly. Many people who were originally talented but were just interested in games, gradually became involved in the professional circle because professional players could bring them a stable and comfortable life...
However, it was at this moment that the fantasy world appeared!
The emergence of the fantasy world can be said to have made the status of professional players a huge improvement!
At least, the emergence of the fantasy world has caused many people who did not pay attention to the game circle to turn their attention to the game industry and field!
The game is being followed, and as a professional player, it will naturally be followed...
Before the emergence of the fantasy world, for most ordinary people, they didn’t care much about games, because in many people’s perception, a virtual world would not have much impact on the real world anyway...
As for the understanding of games, what appears in most people's minds is nothing more than a game setting called free and actually cheating money. In many people's perception, games are a field with only input but no output. Because of this, many people are not interested in games...
In fact, this understanding is largely correct. The value of virtual property has always been a topic of debate. It has not been finalized for a long time. Almost all game developers or operators often have an attitude of not supporting or encouraging the transactions in games and reality. They can accept transactions between players and their real money, but they do not recognize transactions between players and players...
Their attitude is actually very similar to the slogans that are always posted in places such as Internet cafes and bathrooms - please put important items on the counter, and you will not be responsible if you lose them...
It is because of this that the transactions between players are always full of many twists and turns, which will cause many conflicts and conflicts, such as the purchased account being retrieved, or the account being given in advance but others did not pay, and a series of various problems. In addition, although the game also has related trading platforms, the two parties will still have many trust issues...
Generally speaking, only those professional players who have built a certain professional reputation can obtain a relatively stable route to make money. It is often a fantasy for ordinary people to make money in the game. However, different professional players, their reputation is often established bit by bit after a long time and many games. Moreover, most of their customers are real rich people, so in the game, those who can really make money are these professional players or professional studios. For most ordinary players, it may not be difficult to spend money, but it is absolutely not easy to play the game well and make money by the way...
Most of the official games often do not support transactions inside and outside the game, so the reason is naturally easy to understand. For them, they can accept selling things in the virtual world at sky-high prices, because it belongs to their world, but they absolutely do not recognize that players can get benefits by playing in their games, obtaining rare props and selling them. They support transactions in the game, but in reality, they have a negative attitude...
It is because of this that most people who want to make money will not whimsically choose a job like professional players. Compared to playing games, making money with a down-to-earth work is the way of working that most people recognize...
However, after the appearance of the fantasy world, the situation changed a lot!
The trading platform officially supported by Fantasy World can be said to have greatly made the transactions in the game popular. If you have enough good luck, even if you are just an ordinary gamer, the profits in the game will be enough to subsidize your family income...
They don’t need to find any trading channels, they just need to hang their own things in the auction house. The auction house in the fantasy world is divided into two parts. One is the part in the game, which is settled with gold coins in the game, and the other is the part outside the game, which is settled with US dollars. Of course, the game companies will charge certain taxes for which of these two auction methods, but the quantity is not large, so most players will be willing to accept...
Of course, players can also ignore the system to conduct private transactions, but there is naturally no guarantee of security. The transaction of gold coins and equipment in the game generally does not have much problem, but transactions inside and outside the game often involve many aspects. In the absence of system protection, transactions naturally require certain risks...
Just like in reality, when many people buy and sell houses, they always like to choose to cross the river and destroy the bridge after the agency successfully builds a bridge. Skip the agency to reach a transaction by yourself. On the surface, there is naturally a fee left, but naturally there may also be a risk of being cheated, which is nothing more than a choice between risks and interests...
At this point, the game company is still doing very well, because the taxes collected by the trading platform in the Fantasy World are very low, so it is enough to dispel the concerns of most players in private transactions. As for just a little bit of money, players who are willing to bear the risks also exist, but the number is not too large!
It is because of this that the existence of the fantasy world provides a good opportunity to make money for those who cannot find a job, or who have little work intensity, do not have too high requirements for sleep quality, and can take time to play games during sleep time...
Any industry, as long as it attracts enough popularity, will immediately become popular and full of wealth!
Just like Shanghai in the past, Shanghai at that time was called the paradise for adventurers, and it was believed that gold was everywhere...
The reason is actually because of high popularity!
The more people there are, the more opportunities there will be and the more wealth there will be!
On the other hand, the more opportunities and wealth there are, the more people there will naturally be...
This is a typical virtuous cycle!
The more developed the place, the higher the popularity, and the higher the popularity, the more developed the place!
Even gangsters know this truth very well, so they often choose places with a lot of people to collect protection fees...
For a long time, the IT industry has been considered the most profitable job. It is because of this that for a long time, students in related majors in universities often become particularly popular...
The rise of the fantasy world will naturally make professional players suddenly popular!
Businessmen are always a creature that seeks profit and avoids harm...
For them, when they can smell the smell of copper coins, they will pounce on them like wild wolf...
For many local tyrants, they originally did not have much investment value. For ordinary people, they care whether they can earn enough wealth by doing something, but for businessmen, what they think about is how much reward they will get when doing it themselves...
For businessmen, when wealth accumulates to a certain extent, it is almost impossible for them to lose money in a real sense. Just like on a casino, if the chips on someone's table reach about a hundred times the limit of the chips, then theoretically, these chips will only become more and more, and will not become less and less!
Because when the wealth reaches a certain amount, the businessman can already hurt people with his original intention!
Yes, it hurts people with this!
That is because of this, businessmen with a certain amount of wealth will only plan to invest money. As long as they are not too cheating or risky investment projects, they will eventually have returns, and the difference is only a few...
For businesses like games, except developers, others are not too interested in it...
Because, in addition to game developers being able to make money through games in a true sense, other businessmen even if they really invest capital in the game, even if they form the best professional team and the most powerful game studio, to a large extent, the money they earn will be a drop in the bucket for them!
For businessmen, compared to making money, they care more about reputation!
Yes, reputation!
They actually don’t care much about money, but they attach great importance to reputation. Many times, some rich people form game teams and do not expect the team to make money in operation. What they care about is whether the team can achieve high enough honors to meet their expectations. At the same time, the brand effect they care about, and they hope to pay enough attention to the real industry they operate through the game field...
It is obvious that among the very few competitive games, most other online games cannot produce high reputation!
It is because of this that businessmen have been indifferent to the field of games for a long time!
Of course, this is not because they don’t want to make money or are unwilling to make money, but because the meat in the game industry is far from fat enough to them!
However, the emergence of the fantasy world, the application of virtual reality technology, and the high price of virtual items in the fantasy world finally made those merchants unable to bear such temptation!
The existence of the fantasy world is not only a temptation to businessmen, but also a temptation to professional players!
Liushui Wuqing knew very clearly that in the field of professional game players, there are already many game studios and a large number of professional players, who have been incorporated by the rich...
In fact, even Liushui Wuqing himself and the Liushui studio where he is also recruited by several local tyrants...
In terms of treatment alone, it has increased by more than three times!
The only thing that makes them have some concerns is the relevant degree of freedom. After being incorporated by the rich, the issue of professional players in the game studio staying and leaving will be largely dominated by the boss...
Liushui Wuqing didn't feel too unhappy about this...
He also knew very well that after all, this was just an option...
There is no question of selling freedom and dignity...
At this time, what needs to be considered is often just a trade-off...
If you feel that you can earn more than the boss promised in the game, then being alone may make a better choice. Otherwise, you will not be unacceptable to accepting the inclusion...
