“Let’s talk inside the company, please co in.”
In the end, Lincoln decided to invite the person into the company to chat.
After calling a passing administrative girl to help pour tea, Lincoln didn’t directly accept the interview but asked the reporter Miss to have so tea and wait a mont as he had urgent matters to attend to.
Indeed, he had rested after returning ho yesterday, but Mavis hadn’t.
Mavis happily worked on the large open zoo, getting it mostly done.
Not all the animal information was available, so it wasn’t fully completed.
But with the current level of completion, it was ready for review.
In order not to waste ti, Lincoln handed a copy of the ga to Samuel and asked him to run an errand to submit the ga for review.
“A new ga?” Samuel asked in confusion, “Boss, when did you make this? Haven’t we all been busy recently?”
“Just made it, worked a whole day yesterday and it was only done after extra work was done.”
“Yesterday?” Samuel was first puzzled and then his face was full of disbelief, “Boss, you made a new ga in one day?”
“No, there was an expert who helped, and it wasn’t finished yet, so hurry up and submit it for review.”
Lincoln urged, “By the way, ask Sister Qiao to notify everyone that this afternoon, any employees who can spare their hands should pause their work temporarily and let’s all test the ga together.”
It’s already at the testing stage, and it’s still not finished? Samuel was speechless and hurriedly left with the ga.
After finishing the urgent matters, Lincoln hurried back to sit down in front of Zoe, drank so water, “Sorry for the wait, everything is arranged, and we can start now.”
The intellectual-looking reporter Miss opened her notebook, picked up her pen, took out the recording pen and gestured to Lincoln, who nodded in agreent before she turned it on.
—To get the truth, many reporters don’t mind using so “special” techniques, but Lincoln’s identity was not just an entrepreneur.
Unlike small newspapers or new so-called “self-dia” on society, newspapers with certain official backgrounds like “Great Xia Industrial Observer” have never participated in any gossip, prying, discussion about Lincoln himself on the Internet.
They had only reported objectively on his public inventions and the achievents of his entrepreneurship.
Because of this, Zoe was extrely polite and courteous from beginning to end, which of course, included respect for a top scientific researcher.
However, even though she was polite, she wouldn’t be polite in her manuscript nor would she whitewash it; she would only report the truth.
She would rather not publish her manuscript than to write about sothing untrue.
This is the pride of a feature reporter.
“Let’s first talk about what happened in the past two days.” Instead of rushing into the topic, Zoe chose a recent event as her entry point.
“Because a video producer was sued for copyright infringent, using your trailer to make paid videos, video platforms removed his video yesterday afternoon, do you know about this?”
“Many video producers are worried about this now, so have used your materials in their videos, others are concerned that they can’t use them in the future. How do you view these concerns?”
“I never thought about it before, after all, I like to watch videos occasionally for fun when I’m free. So as long as it’s not too excessive, I usually don’t bother with it.”
Lincoln thought for a mont, then added, “Since you brought it up, I can state my attitude: if you’re conscientious about making videos and use our material, we won’t trouble you in principle. But for those with ‘low originality, copying, plagiarizing, and article laundering,’ they’d better be careful. If I’m not in a good mood one day, maybe I’ll use a lawsuit to relax.”
Zoe looked at Lincoln in surprise, he seed serious, not joking.
So does Cloud Dream really not have relevant regulations? Is it based on the mood of this boss to decide whether to sue or not?
Is this unpredictability, like the saying, “the more unknowable the punishnt, the more powerful the fear”?
The reporter, who had seen a lot of ups and downs, couldn’t help but blink her eyes in confusion, but she didn’t make any comnts and moved on to the next question.
“The grudge between you and NetDragon is well known. So, have you been paying attention to NetDragon’s recent situation?”
Have I been paying attention? Lincoln thought, I am so paying attention!
NetDragon was a “special concern” for Mavis, who reported any changes to Lincoln when he woke up and washed up.
Lincoln was even planning to snipe the DLC for “Blaze 3”!
But obviously, this was not suitable to say as it would seem petty.
So Lincoln shook his head, “I’ve been busy developing new gas and haven’t had ti to pay attention, why do you ask?”
“NetDragon’s R&D departnt supervisor suddenly resigned, and in a short period of ti, several scientific research talents in NetDragon’s R&D departnt left one after another. According to predictions, NetDragon’s latest generation of VR device ‘Flying Dragon Fourth Generation’ is highly likely to be delayed from its scheduled launch.”
“Oh, that’s really unfortunate.” Lincoln expressed his formal regret. He only knew about the core talent leaving the R&D departnt, but not about the delay of NetDragon’s new device.
Great news! He’d have to rub Little Milkshake’s dog head a few tis later to celebrate.
“In addition, relevant statistics have shown that since the launch of the virtual reality console – Mirage, sales of VR ga equipnt have been rapidly declining. After entering September, when the Mirage reached a weekly shelf of 15 million units, sales fell off a cliff.”
Zoe showed obvious concern in her serious expression, “This is not just a decline in device sales for NetDragon alone, but for the entire industry. All VR equipnt manufacturers are experiencing a cliff-like decline in sales.”
“In recent years, sales of VR ga equipnt have been steadily growing, and the entire industry chain has benefited from it. But in the past two months, sales have plumted, and the future is no longer optimistic, causing unease in the industry.”
“What’s your opinion on this?” Zoe finally asked her biggest concern, “Will virtual reality gas completely destroy the VR ga industry?”
Lincoln put away his schadenfreude and said seriously, “Arcade machines, hand-held consoles, and ho consoles have all experienced similar situations. It’s just that their scale did not grow as large as VR gas before losing most of their market space, so the decline of the VR industry appears more worriso.”
However, from the perspective of ga types, the intensity is actually the sa. But you see, no one complains about arcade machines or handheld consoles. Why? Because people inherently pursue progress, better sound quality, better graphics, stronger expressiveness and imrsion, better storytelling and freedom ot interaction…
In this regard, VR ga equipnt is indeed a progress, which is why the scale of VR ga equipnt has been expanding in recent years. ”
But I’m willing to bet that even without the birth of virtual reality gaming equipnt, the market share of VR devices would eventually hit a ceiling in the near future and could no longer maintain growth. They might even be overtaken or defeated by PCs, ho consoles, and mobile phones, which have beco subordinates in recent years.”
Zoe was surprised by this viewpoint, as she had done her howork before the interview and had a detailed understanding of the developnt of the gaming industry.
She knew very well that VR gas had decisively defeated other ga types and dominated the market. But what was Lincoln saying?
Defeated PCs, ho consoles, and mobile phones make a coback and defeat VR devices?
Zoe looked at him incredulously, even suspecting that Lincoln might be holding a grudge against NetDragon and projecting it onto VR devices.
“Don’t get wrong, I have no prejudice against VR gas.” Lincoln saw her disbelief and understood it.
After all, she had never seen a world where console gas were popular all over the world, where PC gas had 800 million daily active users, and where everyone had a mobile phone and could pull out a “pesticide” anyti anywhere.
It’s normal for soone who has never seen a world with player numbers in the “billions” to be skeptical.
Lincoln explained to her, “Not only do I have no prejudice against VR gas, but I also genuinely believe that they are a great form of gaming.”
— Indeed, it is a great form of gaming and the only type of gaming in this world’s short history of gaming that has surpassed the previous life. It is indeed admirable that much of the hard work of ga developers and technology researchers has been soaked in it.
“VR gas have many advantages, such as graphics, music, imrsion, physical health… You can almost say that everything is good. But there’s one thing that’s not good about it — it raises the barrier to entry for gaming.
And it raises it by a lot!
It has made too many people “unworthy” of playing gas: players who can’t afford the equipnt, those with poor physical health, those with illnesses, those who easily get dizzy due to poor balance, any limb-disabled person… all have been eliminated outright.
In the era before VR devices, a single finger could tap the keyboard to release skills, one hand could hold the controller to speedrun high-difficulty real-ti combat gas, and even completely paralyzed players could play gas with their mouths!
But in VR gas, with the increasing complexity of the gas, and the highly customized controllers, even ten fingers are barely enough for manufacturers, let alone using only five fingers to play!”
Lincoln looked at Zoe, “How should we judge which is good progress? Should we eliminate outdated technology equipnt or players who can’t keep up physically?”
Without waiting for Zoe’s answer, Lincoln decisively gave his own answer: “We shouldn’t make people adapt to technology, but rather technology should serve people!”
“Leaving behind players who are unworthy of playing gas? They have no right! Such gaming equipnt will eventually be pulled off the divine altar as the player base grows and beco ‘niche!!”
“So it’s not who wants to eliminate VR gas, but the players who want to eliminate them! Even their own limitations will eliminate them!”
Zoe, sitting opposite him, looked at Lincoln in shock.
Obviously, she had never heard such an argunt from anyone or anywhere before.
But the argunt was so persuasive!
Both logical thinking and intuition told her that — Lincoln was probably right!
She wondered in astonishnt: Is this the way a genius thinks?
She even thought further: at the very beginning, when Lincoln first appeared in the dia’s line of sight, it was because he criticized NetDragon’s “new equipnt” for being technologically backward.
Was it because he believed from the start that continuing to advance VR devices, while adding more burden to players, was a dead-end?
Finally, he couldn’t bear it anymore, so he personally stepped in and developed virtual reality devices.
His intention was to personally “rectify” the crooked path the gaming industry had taken?!
