Reborn America, this is my time

Chapter 37 makes a reply to the data in Chapter 36

First of all, thank you for reading this. A friend told me just now that some readers said that there was an error in the data in my previous chapter. I read it carefully and found that my writing should be easy to misunderstand.

First of all, the arcade industry is the most rubbish industry in the game field. I used a strong subjective color in my remarks. I am sorry if it has caused misunderstanding to everyone.However, how did this sentence come about? In fact, it was said by the book friend of the digital ID, "The profit margin of the arcade machine is very high, higher than that of the red and white machine". What he said is true, but many Money does not go into the pockets of developers.

Take the digital ID book friend "Space Invaders" as an example. In 1982, there was a book called "Video Games" written by Daniel Cohen, which recorded the sales of "Space Invaders". .15 pages and No.16 pages wrote, in 1978, "Space Invaders" sold 10 units in RB, and the revenue reached 6.7 million US dollars, and then each machine could earn nearly 500 US dollars a day, with an average The daily turnover is 18.25 million US dollars, which is [-] billion a year.But this money, the developer of "Space Invaders" Taito did not share.

In other words, "Space Invaders" earned 1978 billion in 18.25, and Taito only got 36%. This has to be subtracted from the cost of making arcade machines.

It is on this basis that I say that arcades are not profitable for developers, the most rubbish words.

Of course, I know that my words are very absolute, this should not be, but when I wrote this paragraph, I really brought myself into the thinking of a game developer to write, you think you are exhausted with a game If you do it, you can only get [-]% of it. Isn't this special code too dark?

Then there is another point, the digital reader is right, the arcade is very fast to grab money, this is what I ignored in the last chapter, in "Game Over: A History of Nintendo's Global Conquest", author David Sheff, this book In it, the author records the situation when "Donkey Kong" was popular. When "Donkey Kong" became popular, RB's 100 yen coins could not be exchanged by the bank, but a lot of money was made by the entertainment city However, what really allowed Nintendo to experience the fame of "Donkey Kong" was actually the transplant.

Therefore, if you look at it from the perspective of making money quickly, arcade machines are indeed very good. "Space Invaders" earned almost 139.2 billion U.S. dollars, but when the game was popular, Taito's revenue from "Space Invaders" was 30 billion US dollars is not profit.

I believe you can understand what this gap means to capitalists, right?Watching other people make a lot of money on their own products is more uncomfortable than killing yourself.

Especially when the protagonist is still a time traveler and has past life memories, among other things, the cost and income of Star Rock's "Give Him Love" project is much higher than that of "Space Invaders".

Therefore, it is true that arcade machines make money quickly, but it is also true that the proportion that developers or development companies can get is very low.

Maybe it’s because I didn’t describe it clearly, or because my subjective consciousness is too strong, so the previous text may be a guide to you. I’m sorry if I conveyed inappropriate thoughts.

Finally, what I want to say is that I read the comments, but my author account is banned, so I can only respond to you by opening a single chapter, and this method actually affects the reading experience very much of.

Therefore, in many cases, I will try to avoid opening chapters, and I can say a few sentences at the end of this chapter, and I will say it at the end of this chapter. Today, the main reason for opening chapters is that I did not finish writing when I made notes on the previous chapter. I can only write five hundred characters, which is not enough for me to write.

But there is one thing I can explain first. In order to make the story look real enough, most of the information is actually sourced, only a small part, such as why Ralph Bell and Atari reconciled with me. Gossip, that will be explained in advance.

But even so, because the age is relatively long, and this historical span is older than my age, so I can't really verify whether many materials have been falsified. If you find something, I welcome you to point out mistakes. After all , I chose this unpopular subject because I like it. I like the era when the stars of mankind shine. I like many inventions that scientists actually made for the benefit of mankind.

Finally, thank you all for reading my rant.
