When the time came to November, a very surprising news suddenly came out of the United States.
A class action lawsuit led by many large companies and participated by many small companies and individuals has been heard in California, the United States.
The defendant is Youxing Electronic Entertainment, and the content of the lawsuit is many, including monopoly lawsuits, technology patent restriction lawsuits, and image infringement lawsuits.
All the lawsuits have been crowded together, and the initiators have also conducted joint lawsuits, which shows that Youxing Electronic Entertainment has indeed offended some people.
Among them, the main promoters are several film and television company bosses in the film and television industry.
They were the first to express their dissatisfaction with Unreal Engine's development of film and television.
A company doesn't seem to be a big company without lawsuits.
No matter what you do, good or bad, there will always be people trying to get you into trouble, and it's unavoidable.
Zhu Yuxing was already mentally prepared for this. Since the competitor cannot defeat you head-on, he will try to defeat you through other means.
So when Matsuhashi reported the matter to him, he simply asked Matsuhashi to deal with it.
Having had the previous experience, the legal department of Youxing Electronic Entertainment is very strong now.
There is also a legal adviser to two presidents, and a number of well-known patent and copyright lawyers.
Zhu Yuxing is a generous employer, and this group of lawyers put money first, especially in commercial disputes, which do not involve morality.
The legal departments of Nintendo, Disney and other companies in Zhu Yuxing's previous life were called the strongest on the surface, because they had suffered losses in this area, and then they did everything to strengthen this aspect.
With the experience and lessons of the predecessors in the previous life, Zhu Youxing will naturally not relax his investment in this area.
These companies just want to slow down the pace of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, and it is best to kill them directly. Whoever lets him do film and television special effects in his spare time will add enemies to himself.
However, while increasing enemies, there are also allies.
When Tukarev found out about this, he did not discuss it with Zhu Youxing, but through his personal connections and connections, he went back to find trouble with those film and television companies.
Now he is in deep cooperation with Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, especially since he sees the potential of those IPs of video games. If he can obtain the authorization to shoot in the future, he may also make a lot of money, and he does not want Yuxing Electronic Entertainment to have problems.
And if he didn't do something, he would be a little bit cold-blooded. Zhu Youxing had helped him a lot before. Although it was a matter of mutual benefit, he should also remember this kindness.
Without Zhu Youxing, he would quit the film and television industry if he didn't agree, and since then he went back to Russia to raise pigs.
There is also the Detroit Film Group, who also benefited from the Unreal Engine, and are naturally willing to help Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.
Through his influence in the film and television industry, at least a few swaying film and television companies gave up the lawsuit, and even started to use Unreal Engine.
This is really a money-saving artifact. Seriously, if you don't use it, you're really an idiot.
At the same time, there is a man named Hunter. He was originally a competitor of Tukarev, but he did not follow the others to sue Take Yuxing, but contacted Matsuhashi, hoping to get the use of Unreal Engine. authorized.
If authorized, he is willing to lobby some people to reduce the enemies of Zhu Yuxing.
For those who released goodwill, Zhu Youxing will naturally reciprocate.
Commitment to Detroit Pictures that it will continue to provide more detailed special effects production and customization services for it in the next ten years, and strive to improve special effects on the basis of cost reduction.
Accept Hunter's request and sign a ten-year licensing contract, the price is the same as that of Tukarev, 50 million US dollars for ten years, can be paid annually, and can also be listed as a high-quality partner like Tukarev , to provide the best after-sales service.
As for Tukarev, this partner Zhu Yuxing, who was originally a deep cooperation partner, was more generous.
From now on, we can talk about projects related to movie adaptations, such as Pokémon's big animated movie adaptations.
It just so happened that TV Tokyo lacked a channel for movie announcements, and Zhu Yuxing only needed to draw a line, which was equivalent to helping both parties improve their strength, which was very cost-effective.
The legal affairs were handed over to Matsuhashi and the people from the legal department. After giving something back to those who showed goodwill to Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, Zhu Yuxing went back to study the development of video games.
This is the job.
Even though the lawsuit may seem overwhelming and distracting, in reality the development team has no impact.
The game continues to be produced and released step-by-step.
Hot-blooded series, football and basketball and other ball sports, as well as Dragon Quest 6, Mario Mainland 3.
These games are all coming together in November, and the sales of each game will steadily exceed 500,000. Mario and Dragon Quest can easily exceed one million sales.
During this period, several exclusive third-party studios of Youxing Electronic Entertainment developed a variety of high-quality games, and
the products produced by Youxing must be high-quality products.
The phrase is also becoming popular.
Because Zhu Yuxing's games so far only have different audiences, but there has never been a game that everyone doesn't like.
Even the games that third parties log on their consoles are of high quality. Players can buy them with their eyes closed. There are only games that are not suitable for you, and there are no games that are not fun.
This is very scary.
This is like a film and television company shooting all the movies that are well-received and well-received, which is almost impossible.
In other words, the video game industry is a brand new industry, and people will subconsciously feel that the success of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is taken for granted, and there is no doubt in this regard.
If this is put into other industries, it is estimated that there will be some brain-filling monsters who can really make up the mind that Zhuyouxing is a traveler.
However, most of the games developed by Yuxing Electronic Entertainment in the recent period are more mild, characterized by a short development cycle. Generally, it only takes one or two months to develop a game.
With multiple studios working together, it is not a problem to produce five or six games a month.
The reason why we only develop short-cycle games now is that most people have been transferred to develop games for GS1 and GBA consoles.
At the same time, engineering development kits for GS1 and GBA were also distributed to the most loyal first-party game studios.
Let them also familiarize themselves with the new game console system and prepare for the development of new game consoles and new games in advance.
When the game consoles are released, more than 20 games will be launched to satisfy the appetite of the vast majority of players.
