In fact, Su Li understands this truth very well.

The game market more than 30 years ago is no longer the same level as the game market today.

Whether it is the market size or the investment strategy of capital, thirty years ago and now are simply incomparable.

Just as the Atari collapse could have happened in the United States more than 30 years ago, it is difficult to reproduce in this era. Atari's strategy and system will be rejected if it cannot be implemented until now.

People will learn from their lessons, and their capital is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Nowadays, while chasing profits, those huge capitals are willing to invest in projects that don’t seem to make money.

In the technology world, such behavior may be called investing in the future. Google invests in various technology projects every year, and its biggest source of income is advertising.

In the gaming industry, such behavior can be regarded as a whitewashing of itself. Game capital is willing to spend a small amount of money to make some popular games that are not popular to earn some reputation, but their focus is always on those projects that can make money.

Although excellent stand-alone games can be both well-known and popular, they can also make a lot of money and have IP value that is difficult to achieve in money-making games, it also means huge risks.

The plot of the company being dragged down by R&D expenses is staged every day. The domestic stand-alone market has experienced the cold winter that has destroyed the entire environment. Before the first Warriors who explored the path and achieved success appeared, this environment will never recover.

Profit pursuit is an inherent attribute of capital. If investing in an unknown field is called adventure, then investing in an area that has been proven to be a failure can only be called an angel.

There are many reasons for the formation of this cold winter.

That ban destroyed the console industry and made an important part of the gaming industry missing.

More than ten or twenty years ago, those pirated CDs on the streets destroyed the domestic stand-alone R&D studio that was born but full of vitality at that time.

The pirated download website that is still very active has made capital who want to enter this field hesitate.

The sharp contrast between the number of players willing to buy genuine stand-alone players and the number of kryptonian players in mobile games is almost impossible to convince capital to enter this place that has failed once again.

In Su Li's view, the Blood Lion is just a special event that happened at a special point in time. Nowadays, those web game advertisements made with cheap Illusion 4 materials are no less supreme in false propaganda. Although the Blood Lion incident is harsh and has far-reaching impact, it is by no means the main cause of the current environment.

The production of excellent works requires the cultivation of the environment, and it is almost impossible to achieve overnight.

If there is no such environment, we can probably only pray that one or a group of geniuses who emerge from the world and are willing to contribute without any reward, and become the savior in people's eyes.

Su Li is undoubtedly a sentimental and willing to contribute. He gave up the opportunity to enter a large factory and get a high salary, gave up the opportunity to enjoy the dividends of the game industry, and stick to his ideals.

But how could a passionate game designer be willing to make those small games forever?

No matter how good an independent game is, it can be seen from it that the designer’s difficulties and compromises are.

In terms of available resources, in terms of development funds, in terms of compromise on technology...

Only by compromising all aspects can those producers who work as independent games try their best to show their talents and make interesting designs in extremely limited resources.

If possible, who doesn’t want to use the most top technology to realize their fantasy ideas, who doesn’t want to work with top artists to give their works a stunning artistic style, and who doesn’t want to have endless resources to make the game have amazing sound and picture effects?

But the reality is that a game designer struggling in the business vortex seems extremely luxurious to design a system purely for fun or fun. A designer who is not bound by capital can only constantly compromise in production because of limited resources.

Sitting at the computer desk, Su Li couldn't help but fall into a moment of confusion.

Su Li's family conditions are pretty good. Xinhai City is located in a wealthy and developed province. Su Li's parents have received higher education, have a fair income, and are relatively open-minded. Otherwise, they would not be able to support Su Li to study abroad while improving their living conditions, and they would not accept Su Li's dream pursuit path after graduation.

But that's all.

At least Su Li's dream pursuit path depends entirely on him.

The proposition of changing the environment of the game industry is too heavy. Fortunately, Su Li is not an ambitious person. Although he is undoubtedly a genius in game design, now he has only one work of his own besides some of his works when he was in school.

Su Li wanted to make an epoch-making work, but he had no idea at the moment.

Just as Su Li sat on the chair and kept thinking, the monitor screen in front of him suddenly turned white.

Su Li was shocked by the sudden change. If something happened to this computer, it would be a big problem.

Su Li operated the computer but there was no response.

It's a bit strange. If the computer reports an error, it shouldn't be like this.

Soon, a few lines of words appeared on the white screen.

Chinese.

It seems to be a multiple-choice question.

【What is your attitude towards your game works?】

【A. Money-making tool】

【B. Artwork】

【C. Others (Freely fill in)】

These lines of words shocked Su Li even more than the sudden white screen on the computer.

My computer was hacked.

This was the first reaction in Su Li's mind, and this invasion method was very high-end.

Although Su Li doesn't have a deep understanding of the direction of network security, as a developer, he cares a lot about the security of his computer and has taken many security measures.

And who would hack his computer specifically?

According to the current situation, the first thing Su Li had to do was to physically cut off the Internet immediately, but the questions on the screen attracted him a little, as if the other party was not maliciously invading.

What exactly is he going to do?

Su Li felt that it would be okay to play with the person who invaded him.

Su Li moved the mouse and found that he could operate it now.

Su Li thought for a while and chose C.

A dialog box appears on the screen, asking Su Li to enter the answer.

Su Li wrote a short sentence in the dialog box.

【The world in my mind】

Enter to confirm.

The dialog box disappears.

After a brief white screen, several new lines of text appeared on the screen.

【What does game design mean to you?】

【A. A job】

【B. Hobbies】

【C. Others (Freely fill in)】

Su Li directly chose C, and then wrote a short sentence in the dialog box.

【The meaning of my life】

At the same time interval, the content on the screen changes with one.

【If you own the world's largest gaming company, what would you do?】

There is no option, below is a dialog box for typing information.

Su Li thought for a moment and gave his own answer.

[Produce a great game that can become an oasis of human spirit, become a holy place for all game designers and developers to display their talents, and provide them with an oasis where they can create freely.]

Enter, confirm.

Various strange patterns flashed by the screen, lasting about a minute, and returned to white again.

Several lines of information appear on the screen.

[Certification passed, future Oasis system is loading...]
