Ning Zimo mentioned the meaning behind the game. Such an unprecedented height suddenly made the glass-stained elites in the conference room think of a scenery they had never seen before.

But it was this scenery that was ignored or never looked at that made everyone fall silent in the memories that followed.

After a long time, Alan Aide was the first to come back to his senses from the silent environment.

"Wow...I...I..." Alan Aide felt that the turbulent emotions in his heart prevented him from saying complete words.

But Ning Zimo's eyes fell on him, and the encouragement in his eyes gradually made him calm down.

Taking a deep breath, Alan Aide finally calmed down.

"This was the first time I realized that what I was doing actually had such far-reaching significance."

Ning Zimo nodded and said, "Actually, games have a far deeper meaning than what the world thinks of it."

After a pause, Ning Zimo continued, "Ever since I started working at Yibi in 2001, I set a goal for myself. That is, to use the concept behind my game into a set of

The complete game ecology is presented to the public.”

Drawing a circle with his finger in the air, Ning Zimo raised his chin and said, "Just last year, I finally had the opportunity to realize my dream, so I made two decisions. One of them was to make enough money.

Purchase the glass slag from Vivendi.

The other one is to establish a platform that can push my game concept to people through an entire green and healthy industry chain. Since then, a platform called wegame has been built."

Alan Ed's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe the fact at the moment.

This young shareholder, who is known as a fan of Glass Slag, actually set a long-term and clear goal for himself in 2001. The acquisition of Glass Slag was actually a temporary decision he made only last year.

Now, their Glass Slag Entertainment has been owned by this young major shareholder.

And, what kind of thing is the wegame he calls?

Alan Ed was very curious.

And Ning Zimo also clearly felt that he was facing many curious eyes. Looking around, everyone's attention was focused on him.

"Guys, I know you think I have unlimited creativity. But I have always known where my strengths and weaknesses are, so if you want to discuss creativity with me today, why not listen to me and expand on the topic I just opened to you?

Come and take a good look at how the wegame platform I am talking about can realize my dream."

"Okay, man, tell me about your wegame platform, of course we are very interested!"

"Yeah, man, what does the Wegame platform do?"

For a time, all kinds of curiosity filled the glass slag conference room.

After four days of detouring, Ning Zimo finally had the opportunity to return his trip to Glass Slag to the original intention of coming here in the first place.

So, let me express my feelings.

Ning Zimo himself was filled with emotion, "It's a long story, so just listen to me and tell it in detail. This may be a story behind the games, entertainment and even cultural industries."

After a pause, Ning Zimo officially started the topic:

"First of all, Wegame is a digital game distribution platform. Its mission is to publish good games in this world on this platform. The audience for this platform is a group of gamers from around the world. We

From a functional perspective..."

In the previous life, in 2005, V Club G Fat finally launched Steam in 2003 to update "CS". After releasing its masterpiece "Half-Life 2" in 2004, "ragdoll kung fu" and "darwinia" were released.

Two non-V Club games have been pushed to Steam.

For V Club, that was a significant change. It marked that Steam was shifting from a download platform and server browsing platform for V Club's own games to a store platform for selling games.

Until 2006 in the previous life, as nearly 100 games were launched on the Steam platform, the concept of digital product sales on Steam, which was still very new at the time, was born. This can be seen from the products on Steam at that time, free trial demos and

High-definition videos have also begun to be put on steam.

It wasn't until 2007 in the previous life that V Club finally had its own search function, with built-in game ratings and filtering tags for best-selling games and newly released games. These functions greatly improved the usability of Steam. The establishment of the game community forum also

Because G Fat finally realized that the game user group on Steam is a very important resource.

It developed like this for 5 years through exploration. Until 2008, in the previous life, the method of searching for games based on game type was introduced, and more attention was paid to the display of newly released games, making it more convenient for players to browse a greatly increased number of games on Steam.

.

At the same time, in the previous life of 2008, Steam also added displays of focus games, game slideshows, and larger advertising headers. During this period, the total number of Steam users has reached 20 million.

In the previous life of 2008, the most important function of Steam under V Club - steam cloud, has a very simple operation that allows players to play the same game on different computers. Steam cloud supports automatic synchronization of game cloud archives, and can

Synchronize cloud storage player's button configuration information and parameter setting information.

Since that time, Steam has developed more and more towards a real Internet distribution platform. Since Steam is a game ecological platform software developed based on the Internet, how could Ning Zimo not conduct detailed research on it in his previous life?

The development trajectory of wegame has been aimed at the development trajectory of steam in the previous life from the beginning, but in the hands of a reborn person like himself, wegame will inevitably have a higher starting point than steam under the previous life V Club.

After introducing the first version of wegame in detail, Ning Zimo paused. Seeing that there was no other noise in the conference room, he continued with satisfaction:

"The market never relies on monopoly to grow. It must develop to a certain level and thousands of active latecomers emerge, which will make the entire market full of vitality and full of various expanded products.

possibility.

When wegame has games from PC game manufacturers such as Glass Slag, Rockstar, Ubisoft, and EA, wegame will even send out cooperation invitations to console games such as SNK, Nintendo, and Sony. At that time, a new era of games will be

Turn on.

Wegame, which brings together all 3A masterpieces and even various types of game flea markets, will bring together various game players from all over the world and give more independent games or small game studios the opportunity to showcase their games.

Just think about it, if you had a free distribution platform like Wegame when you founded {Silicon and Synapse}, would your development path have been so bumpy? And if the market back then couldn't accommodate {Silicon and Synapse}

, where did the glass slag that is now famous all over the world come from?

Therefore, wegame is such a professional platform focusing on game promotion, and it is also a game distribution platform to create a larger and broader game market. I believe that through the vigorous growth of wegame, one day we will show people a healthy, positive

An upward gaming industry will provide game practitioners with a better working environment, allowing them to focus on providing better quality games to the public.

When these are brought together, the essence of the games I just told you will be truly pushed to people by wegame. In addition to discovering some of the value of this industry, people can gradually study the essence of games.

What can it bring to mankind?

So, this is wegame, this is the story behind wegame, and this is the real reason why I want to make wegame.

No matter what, I will persevere because I know there is a dream ahead. Although I am still far away from the day when I reach my dream, I believe that through my efforts, the world will be able to reach this day earlier!

"

no applause,

There was no shouting.

There was only silence in the glass slag meeting room, and every member of the glass slag present had a thoughtful look in their eyes. Just like the essence behind the game that Ning Zimo just told them, wegame is a more concrete but more complex game.

Something worth thinking about.

When putting these thought-provoking thoughts and ideas together, Alan Aide felt that many things collided together in his mind, and then transformed into a new world in his mind, a world that he had never imagined before.

He glanced at Michael Morlem beside him and saw that he nodded slightly towards him, so he collected his emotions and said:

"Guys, I think I'll make a statement now."

???

Ning Zimo looked at Alan Aide. He was curious about what the founder of Glass Slag wanted to say, and others also looked over curiously.

Alan Aide did not look into the eyes of his partners, but turned to look at Ning Zimo and said apologetically:

"Ning, I want to say sorry to you first. Because, on the day you first came here, I was actually against you as a 'nouveau riche'."

Alan Aide nodded sincerely, Ning Zimo looked into his eyes and shook his head indifferently, "Alan, after all, this is the first time we have met. After such a big change, your first love for me...

It’s natural that one’s senses are not good.”

Seeing Ning Zimo letting him go with ease, Allen smiled and continued, "Ning, I think I can answer you on behalf of our entire team, all of our games will be the first to log into WeGame

Platform games.

In addition, we will dispatch a glass slag technical team to provide technical support for porting the glass slag battle network to wegame. We will strive to allow games such as "StarCraft", "Warcraft", "Diablo" and "World of Warcraft" to be available on the wegame platform.

Get in as soon as possible."

???

Agree so quickly?

Isn’t there nothing we haven’t discussed yet?

Ning Zimo was stunned. How could he have thought that Wegame would start a good game so quickly?

"Ning, you are a good leader, and you are a far-sighted leader." Michael Molem looked at Ning Zimo and said, "Before you, there has never been anyone in our game industry who can be like this.

If you think about the problems of the game industry itself, no one has ever considered the nature of the game industry and the nature of games so profoundly.

It can be said that you have allowed us to see a whole new world, and in the world you have described, we finally have a more profound meaning besides the value of our work!"

"Yes, Ning!" Frank Pierce stood up, walked to Ning Zimo and said, "We, Glass Slag, are a game company with a dream, and you spread the meaning of our dream to a greater world.

place.

Although the long development sprint period of "World of Warcraft" during this period has caused the passion of each of us to burn out, your words today made me feel that I have regained my passion and full of motivation.

I can’t wait to complete this game as soon as possible, so that it can become the main force of Wegame and contribute to Wegame’s big goal in the future.”

Sam Wysdiddle also stood up at this time and said, "Ning, although I can't beat you in "Warcraft", I believe that with my ability and my hard work, I can contribute to your wegame platform."

"Yes, Ning," Bob Fitch also stood up and said, "Since you have found a higher value for our work, why don't we work harder?"

After Bob Fitch, Robert Pardo, Chris Mason, Roman Kenny, everyone in the conference room stood up.

Ning Zimo felt that these guys were all radiating light and heat.
Chapter completed!
