Chapter 9 The dust has settled
"Xiuyuan, do you really want to publish this article?"
Zhao Xiangmeng's eyebrows were slightly squeezed together under his black-rimmed glasses, and he looked at Lin Xiuyuan in front of him.
This is a young man with a high-spirited attitude on his face. He is meticulous in his administrative jacket, neither humble nor overbearing, and maintains an indomitable momentum.
Of course, this is just a nice way of saying it.
Young and high-spirited are actually not good adjectives for someone within the system.
"Why not?" Lin Xiuyuan looked at the doubts on Zhao Xiangmeng's face. Having been exposed to it since childhood, he naturally understood this person's worries. He smiled slightly and explained,
"Aunt Zhao, it has been five years since we won the economic war with Lighthouse, and two years since the reform of the domestic classification system.
Nowadays, the Western world is generally afraid of us, afraid that we will dominate like a lighthouse, but you also know the strong psychology of human beings, and they also secretly long to know more about us.
In order to curb this tendency, they are also doing their best to demonize our domestic environment. In order to combat this demonization, a strategy for cultural export has been formulated long ago.
But in the past two years, nothing has changed from top to bottom.
The entire cultural atmosphere above and below is still like a pool of stagnant water. ”
Lin Xiuyuan calmly explained the current situation.
"As for the reason, on the one hand, it is limited by our introverted cultural attributes. The inherent concepts of the older generation still look at certain things like a scourge.
On the one hand, cultural creation is difficult to force, and it doesn’t mean you can just put your head down and write hard. On the other hand..."
It is better to do nothing than to make mistakes. The principle of being wise and protecting yourself has been true since ancient times.
With such a large platform, there is no need to fight to get the first bite of crabs. They can already make a lot of money by making games that strictly follow certain regulations.
What's more, for some game companies, vague reviews can make more money.
Many things were actually very ambiguous before the classification system came out, but after the classification system comes out, they will definitely be placed under the restricted category.
And it is difficult to guarantee the game level of the young author and make it difficult to cause any movement.
Of course, Lin Xiuyuan would not say this reason. He just smiled at Zhao Xiangmeng:
"However, the young people we used to have have grown up now, haven't they? The sea is inclusive and inclusive; we take the essence and discard the dross...
Aunt Zhao, you still need to study harder. ”
Zhao Xiangmeng just smiled bitterly. She was no better than Lin Xiuyuan, but she still reminded her kindly:
"If you want to use... that one as an example, it's okay to open a hole in the conservative position, but you must also pay attention to the negative consequences afterwards."
"I will pay attention." Although he said to pay attention, Lin Xiuyuan's expression did not show much concern.
"Now that the rating system has been established, it is not the game producers nor us who need to be responsible for the possible negative impact.
The game makers are not breaking the law. What really makes these things spread is the popularity of various media and related platforms that have no moral integrity.
This is the social responsibility they should play. ”
After pondering for a moment, Lin Xiuyuan still said to Zhao Xiangmeng:
"Next, including the game and the article we are about to publish in the newspaper, we should try to treat it as coldly as possible.
Articles can be published and attitudes can be expressed, but they do not need to be spread to the point where everyone knows. "Although I want to make a fuss about this sudden popularity, after all, games are only a relatively small part of the strategy of cultural output. As long as the control is good, you don't need to worry about this matter causing too much noise.
Before posting it, I had to call my dad to report it, and try to ensure that no one would stab me in the back, causing this article to completely sink into oblivion.
……
"The Magic Mirror, a bold exploration of the current new classification system"
Although it only occupied an insignificant small page in this issue of "Integrated Media Game Observer", it still almost made Luo Bai's jaw drop.
This is a real official media, the kind with administrative units.
In a sense, "Integrated Media Game Observer" is a vane for the overall treatment of the game industry.
It is the golden rule that all the bigger game companies in the industry will definitely order a copy.
After Luo Bai studied it carefully, he was deeply moved.
This article is roughly divided into three parts:
The first part elaborates on the origin of the current game rating system, reveals that some game companies are still wandering around the edges of the rating system, and expresses dissatisfaction with this behavior.
The second part introduces in detail Mirror’s active exploration of the innovation of match-3, an outdated game mode. As for the part about restricted levels, it is not mentioned at all.
The third part is the conclusion of the article, and it is also the part that touches Luo Bai the most.
"On the surface, the heated battle for the bar that spreads on the Internet is just a carnival of 'Internet fun people'. But if we delve deeper into its essence, we will find that the battle for the bar is The essence of this carnival is the love and support for high-quality games.
Low price and super high quality are the sincerity of game producers to countless game players; while spontaneous publicity and heartfelt maintenance are the sincerity of game players in return for the author.
Gamers are really simple. They don’t have fancy needs. As long as your game is fun enough and you are willing to put their gaming experience first, they will hold you high.
…”
"It's just that there won't be any risk in publishing this article."
Although he was very happy, Luo Bai still saw the possible crisis behind this article.
Although there are certain differences in the development of the Yan Kingdom in the two worlds, the cultural core remains unchanged. This incident might cause an uproar.
However, what Luo Bai didn't expect was that after several days, the entire online world did not see any searches related to the content of the "Integrated Media Game Observer" article.
It’s as if this article never existed.
But what Luo Bai could see was that all the relevant articles that bombarded the magic mirror had disappeared.
Luo Bai is not a fool. He knows that some things can be touched and some things cannot be touched.
The silence on the Internet was fed back to Luobai's steam backend in the form of game sales.
Looking at the skyrocketing sales, Luo Bai swallowed.
System, tell me quickly how much reputation I have gained this time!
It can be regarded as revealing the second main line of this article.
Luo Bai: I am a man who wants to export game culture!
