Chapter 351 Free working environment

The most important thing is that it would be fine if they did this, but they just played both versions. However, the version they tested this time was actually only blue version. For those collectors in our editorial group, every time they opened the monster picture book and saw the icons that could not be lit on the picture book, it would be very uncomfortable.

I wish Pokemon would be released soon.

While having lunch, Jester watched this game show on a Los Angeles TV station in the employee cafeteria with hundreds of employees in the company. They told the funny story of "Pokemon" before its official release in a teasing tone, and it also mixed with the two largest game magazines in North America.

After the release of this issue of "Players" which was obviously ridiculous, "Game" was also sure of its anger, but because they had mistakes first, they could only endure it. However, according to reliable information, when the editor-in-chief of "Game" saw this issue of the magazine, he tore the magazine with dozens of pages and coated paper into pieces.

Even at the end of this game show, the host even teased Jester.

The reason is that although there is no conclusive evidence that Jester is the real boss of "Game", we can still draw some of them from a lot of gossip and the tendency shown in "Game" on weekdays.

However, after watching it, Jester smiled and ignored it. "Game" is indeed his magazine, but in recent years he has never interfered in the specific affairs of "Game". At most, he has put forward some opinions on some matters. These opinions have nothing to do with Mars Entertainment, and are entirely intended to increase the sales and influence of "Game".

This is the most clear thing in the game magazine.

In fact, Jester also knows that if a game magazine wants to truly become bigger, its position must be unbiased. If "Game" had been sitting on the butt of Mars Entertainment from the beginning, then they would not have developed to this point now. This is recognized by readers.

For example, Nintendo has also made similar magazines, but the one that focuses on introducing games that only introduces Nintendo and boasting about Nintendo's games as its core selling point is to show Nintendo's readers and let them go to yy alone, which has no value at all. Instead, "Famitong" immediately understood the key soon after it was released in "Game" and immediately changed their names.

You should know that the name of "Famitong" was called "Famitong", and what is "Famitong"? The full name of FMC home game console is called "Fami". In other words, this was just a publication launched to introduce games on FMC when seeing the strength of FMC in the Japanese market, but after seeing that Nintendo had no way to dominate the market, they immediately changed the name of the magazine that was very easy for readers to misunderstand that they were Nintendo.

Of course, a magazine that wants to grow bigger must have a position. Only by being firm in your position can you attract enough loyal people, but your position cannot be limited to a certain game company. Of course, having a good impression of a certain game company is allowed.

For example, "Game" often boasts about Mars Entertainment games and belittles Nintendo games, but this cannot arouse readers' disgust because when they compare the United States, they compare Japan, and the United States beat Japan is something they like to see.

This is to make your butt the reader likes the most, and not to go against it.

Even for sales, "Players", which often compete with "Game" in terms of view, never put their butts on the side of Japanese manufacturers. Although Japanese manufacturers do not lack excellent games, for example, when the game scores between the two parties, they always have a little bit of American games and are selfless towards Japanese games.

This situation does not only happen in the United States, but also in Japan. In addition, Japan is a relatively closed country in the game industry. They have their own aesthetic methods, such as the Gang style "Dragon Quest". This game was a great success in Japan, but not many people were interested in it when it was released in Europe and the United States. The reason is that European and American players cannot accept the Gang style games that the Japanese advocate.

Such examples are actually inconsistent. In later generations, in Jester's memory, the same is true for a game called "Monster Watch". The sales in Japan were so bad, and even the sales in a single week reached 1.5 million and 600,000 copies in Japan. However, after the sales in Japan, the sales immediately dropped sharply, not even one percent of the sales in Japan.

Therefore, with the support of a large number of such Japanese players, the place where "Famitong" can play independently in the comments is much larger than "Game". In addition, the contradiction between "Famitong" and Mars Entertainment is well known. Mars Entertainment has not given "Famitong" any face at all. At a certain game launch conference, the reporter of "Famitong" was directly bombarded out.

The three-foot freezing is not a day's cold. Mars Entertainment's excessive move will definitely not be just a provocation of "Famitong" at the press conference and secretly leaking the beta version of the game, but more of it is a concentrated outbreak of conflicts between the two sides.

Since the bombardment incident, although such behavior has angered Mars Entertainment because of secretly leaking the test version to Mars Entertainment's biggest competitor, "Famitong" has completely begun an attack on Mars Entertainment, which was a little more obscure before. Since Mars Entertainment announced that it would never accept an interview with "Famitong", both sides have completely broken up.

But because of this, the sales of "Famitong" did not rise again, and more people want to see how they blackmail entertainment.

When Jester founded Mars Entertainment, he had high requirements for the company's restaurants and hired chefs with high standards. They not only often prepared Western food, but also had a large number of Chinese foods. Because there were many Japanese employees in the company, they often made some Japanese foods.

Moreover, because of Grandpa Jester, the restaurants of Mars Entertainment hire authentic masters from China, and the Chinese food they make is also an extremely authentic traditional Chinese food, rather than the Chinese food that has been reformed after arriving in the United States. Although many Americans do not like this kind of Chinese food, the same is true for many people to like it. At least within Mars Entertainment, there are still many people who like this traditional Chinese food.

The most important thing is that Jester learns a rule set by Google in the future, that is, restaurants are completely free for internal employees.

This is also the best benefit of the entire company by Mars Entertainment. Free restaurants are not a strange thing. Many companies in California do this, but restaurants like Mars Entertainment that make the taste of star-rated hotels are also free, which is extremely rare.

According to Richard Lucent, who just joined the hardware development department of Mars Entertainment after resigning from ibm at the end of this year, with his more than 20 years of industry experience, he has never seen such a company.

The reason why Jester did this is very simple. He very much agreed with Google's statement that it was promoting the free restaurant program, that is, if employees are allowed to eat better in the company, then employees will spend more energy on game development.

The work of game development has not been a very serious and rigorous job since its birth. More often than not, he needs the explosion of inspiration from employees, whether it is programmers completing a function, artists completing a setting, or planning to come up with an amazing idea.

Mechanized dogmatic work cannot give birth to inspiration, but Mars entertainment requires continuous bursts of inspiration.

The large game companies in later generations can be said to be very comfortable in building the working environment of employees. For example, Mars Entertainment completely copied the Blizzard's outfit in later generations. Even if you come to work in pajamas, no one will say anything about you, as long as you can complete your work.

As for people like Google, who put a table tennis table in their office and ask people to play table tennis from time to time, there are many people who are there.

The company often organizes some very interesting activities, such as how to brew beer. Of course, such a stylish event cannot be qualified to participate. Within Mars Entertainment, it is completely fair for whoever participates in this kind of activity, that is, the lottery is open, and whoever catches it is counted.

Such an event is not a talk-talking lecture, but a real practical operation. The purpose is to enable every employee to have the ability to make beer of various flavors. In fact, there is actually an employee who, after participating in this event, found that his interest in beer is much greater than that of games, so he quit his job and went home to open a brewery by himself.

In every office area, in addition to the lounge, there is also a wine cabinet. The wine in this wine cabinet is brought by people in the same working area. Because the staff of Mars Entertainment come from all over the world, there is no shortage of wine in this wine cabinet, not only South American rum, but also British whiskey and French brandy. Of course, there is also Japanese sake, and so on. Even Jester, even put a bottle of Erguotou and a bottle of Moutai in a very bad taste.
