383 Chapter 371: Underage Audience Wanting to Cry but Having No Tears


    Should we include the campaigns Daxia participated in?


    Lincoln reviewed the war history of this world, and thought about the attention and emotions of the soldiers from the high-level to the civil society, and immediately decided—


    Let''s not do that.


    After all, the core gamey of this game, is not the experiential narrative game, but the strongpetitive game, it is definitely for yers to stand on both sides and fight.


    Then it will be inevitable that the fighting sides will be shooting each other with guns, everyone will die and resurrect together, then die and resurrect again …


    If we were to add Daxia into the mix, this kind of scene of soldiers dying frequently and various tragic deaths would spread on the Inte, and it''s hard to say how much controversy it would stir up.


    Let''s not mention anything else, Cloud Dream''s good reputation on the Inte would definitely be severely damaged, especially in terms of the passer-by''s favor, it would probably bepletely ruined.


    So, let''s just drop it.


    Anyway, there are so many countries and so many battles in this world, there are too many choices to make!


    Moreover, looking at the world, there are many countries that do not care about history, and their citizens only regard soldiers as a job.


    So outside of the game, it''s not a big problem!


    What''s left is to find a way to make the game fun to y.


    After a series of exnations, everyone present was relieved.


    "Don''t worry for now, I''m just informing you of what we''re going to doter, no need to rush."


    Lincoln emphasized again: "You can focus on holdingpetitions and taking vacations, and the development team and ns for the new game will not be discussed until a weekter."


    Randall and Fred nodded to indicate their understanding.


    It was only then that Lincoln turned his attention back to Samuel: "I identally mentioned the firstpletion battle, we don''t have to deal with it; is there anything else?"


    Samuel nodded and continued his report: "Another problem is that underage audiences on the inte are generally dissatisfied with live streaming tforms."


    "Audiences are dissatisfied with the live streaming tform? Then go find a live streaming tform, what does it have to do with us?" Lincoln was a bit puzzled.


    "It''s because of the dynamic grading issue." Samuel exined to Lincoln.


    Live streaming tforms in Daxia have a set of grading review systems specifically designed for them.


    If users do not register with their real names, they can only watch all-age live streaming content.


    For those game content with grading restrictions, the tform has set up age restrictions in advance.


    Audiences can only enter to watch after real-name authentication; otherwise, they cannot enter the live broadcast room at all.


    Originally, this system worked well and there were no major problems; at most, there were children secretly using their parents'' mobile phones to watch live broadcasts, bypassing the real-name restrictions.


    However, those were exceptions and minor issues.


    But with the dynamic grading system of "Speed Chase" being introduced, both Cloud Dream and yers were happy, but live streaming tforms were directly confused.


    Especially, this system was urgentlyunched just before the game was released!


    Live streaming tforms were caught off guard without any psychological preparation!


    What to do?


    Do not let the streamers broadcast, and solve the technical problems first?


    By then, the yellow flower dish would be cold!


    In the end, all live streaming tforms chose the same approach—


    Directly raised the original "17+" section prepared for "Speed Chase" to "18+", adult restricted!


    Increase the restriction to the highest level, allowing only adults to watch, and not allowing minors to watch, wouldn''t that solve the problem?


    As for the unlucky underage audiences who couldn''t even watch the game…


    The live streaming tform apologized sincerely, saying: "We are working on it, we are working on it…"


    ...


    "Therge and small live streaming tforms have sent us emails, hoping to provide technical support."


    Lincoln frowned: "What kind of technical support do they want?"


    "Provide them with the game screen disy effect under different grading during the live streaming of the streamers, so that they can push the suitable screen for different age audiences more targetedly."


    After hearing this request, Lincoln was astonished: "Are they sick?"


    But he thought about it and felt that as an entrepreneur, he should listen to the conditions: "What are their conditions? What kind of price do they n to offer?"


    Samuel frowned, "It''s basically between 1 million and 5 million."


    "Per month?"


    Samuel shook his head.


    "Per year?" Lincoln was surprised.


    "One-time payment."


    "???" This time, Lincoln was reallypletely confused: "Are they for real?"


    "...Probably not." Samuel replied helplessly.


    "ording to the relevant regtions of Daxia, underage audiences are not allowed to reward live streaming tforms. The live streaming tforms are probably not willing to invest too much because they cannot bring direct benefits."


    "Oh." With that, Lincoln understood. "So what''s your idea?"


    Samuel looked at Lincoln and said very seriously: "My idea is that Cloud Dream can establish its own live streaming tform."


    "Our Cloud Dream Gaming tform, with the continuous increase in sales of Mirage Consoles, the yer base is also expanding, providing a solid user base to establish a live streaming tform."


    "Moreover, our software system is designed to provide support for live streaming, and yers currently rely on this feature for their live streaming. So, creating a live streaming tform poses no difficulty for us. We can even develop an ''immersive'' live streaming mode based on virtual reality technology."


    "Lastly, all the features required for live streaming can be aplished directly using the Mirage Console without the need for additional equipment, making it very user-friendly for streamers."


    ...


    With a solid user base, technical capabilities, and advantages to attract both audience and streamers...


    Samuel presents the advantages of Cloud Dream establishing a live streaming tform methodically, demonstrating that he has seriously considered the idea and offering a persuasive argument.


    Employees at the meeting, including Lincoln, couldn''t help but nod in agreement.


    Initially reluctant to venture into the live streaming industry, Lincoln bes more inclined after hearing Samuel''s opinions, considering that "starting a live streaming tform is not a bad idea."


    "It''s a good idea. This way, under the dynamic grading system, underage yers can also watch live streams normally," Fred is the first to speak up.


    "I also agree. With our own Cloud Dream live streaming tform, it will be much more convenient for us to hold gamepetitions," Randall nods in agreement.


    When Randall agrees, Little Chun refrains from voicing additional opinions.


    — Unless Lincoln specifically requests, in discussions like these that require votes, both Randall and Little Chun will only speak once, treating their two opinions as one.


    "I agree! Immersive live streaming sounds amazing!" Cheryl is extremely excited. "I can have someone specifically as a ''live streaming operator'' for our pet employees! This will significantly bridge the gap between the audience and the pets."


    "We can also have a live office tour of Cloud Dream! Wow, there are so many possibilities!"


    Jerome also expresses agreement.


    However, he considers purely from a business perspective: "With the development of the console and games, the live streaming tform can grow naturally. The investment is minimal, and the returns are exceptionally substantial, undoubtedly worth pursuing."


    ...


    "OK!" After hearing everyone''s unanimous agreement, Lincoln makes the final decision: "Let''s create a Cloud Dream Live Streaming tform!"


    "Sister Qiao, you may need to put in some work to recruit experienced professionals, preferably with live streaming startup experience. I will handle the technical issues, which are rtively simple and should bepleted in a few days."


    As soon as he says this, everyone at the table looks sideways.


    "Understood. Once the meeting is over, I''ll update the recruitment information," Quentina nods.


    However, she soon adds, "But boss, if we post our recruitment publicly, a few existing live streaming tforms may immediately understand what we''re nning to do. This may cause us some obstacles since the top streamers are already contracted with them."


    "So, should we try to search privately first and move to public recruitment if we don''t find anyone suitable?"


    Lincoln''s initial response is to say, "Let anyone seeking trouble bring it on." -


    However, he quickly realizes that he personally doesn''t care about any problems, but acting this way may cause difficulties for future employees, hindering their work.


    It''s best not to create trouble for future employees.


    Thus, he changes his tune and says, "That''s fine, Sister Qiao, you''re experienced, I''ll leave this to you."


    Quentina nods happily, "No problem."


    Lincoln nces to the side at the tablet on his desk and thest item on the to-do list turns red and erges to remind him of its importance.


    — This is Mavis giving him a reminder.


    During meetings, Mavis won''t disturb Lincoln but will assist with auxiliary tasks.


    All the necessary talking points, employee reports, new ns, and even meeting minutes are handled by Mavis.


    "Lastly, the selection of honorary yers for different games."


    "As our game world is already interconnected, it will be unfair if we only select honorary yers from ''Assassins'' Alliance'' for the public map." n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    "So…" Lincoln looks at Little Chun, then at rk who has been silently listening to the meeting beside Little Chun, and finally at Fred.


    "''Light Encounter,'' ''Paradise,'' ''Assassins'' Alliance,'' ''Speed Chase,'' and even ''Traveler of the Wind,'' should award honorary yer titles to some yers, granting them ess to the public map."


    "At the beginning of each month, we should choose some honorary yers, with a preliminary quota of 100 yers per game per month. As for the specific selection process, discuss it with your team members and try to ensure fairness."


    "Of course, when I say ''fair,'' I do not refer solely to the yer''s gaming skills or their pay-to-win habits, but their loyalty to the game and their contributions to the yermunity."


    "Do you understand what I''m saying?"


    The several development team leaders look at each other, puzzled, then look back at Lincoln, wanting to say they don''t understand.


    However, Lincoln''s idea is indeed vague!


    But Lincoln nonchntly waves them off: "Anyway, go back and discuss it internally, brainstorm a bit."


    — Lincoln only has a vague concept in his mind and hasn''t thought about more detailed conditions.


    Hence, he decides to act as a ruthless boss for once, setting demands and letting his subordinates handle the specifics.


    After all, the team members who have been closely following the games are more likely to propose reliable ns than Lincoln simply thinking of something out of the blue.


    "As for ''Battlefield'' and ''Speed Chase 2,'' we''ll discuss those in the afternoon. For now, let''s adjourn the meeting!"


    With that being said, he doesn''t consider the others'' expressions and leaves immediately.


    As for what he''s going to do? No kidding, he has to join the firstpletion battle between Daxia and Izumo yers!


    Lincoln can''t miss this excitement!
