Video Game Tycoon in Tokyo-Chapter 892: Starting from the Top-Level Game

Myron Case had once again broken his own rule.

That was to give up more of his shares in exchange for the opportunity to take a gamble.

If.

If he could make a breakthrough in the video game industry, then his smartphone industry might at least be able to maintain its base.

And there was also his personal PC business.

In the past, he had always insisted that his PCs focus on productivity and style, dismissing video games entirely.

With this attitude, coupled with the fact that Mickford's PC sales were not great, no one was interested in porting their game titles to Mickford's PC operating system.

But now, he was about to make a complete reform.

The price for this reform was that he would have to sacrifice some of his shares.

When the news came that Myron Case would personally cover all the funding for this venture and was willing to give up more shares, the shareholders immediately stopped objecting.

Some even began to think about how much money they could offer to acquire more shares from Myron Case.

Myron Case naturally knew what they were thinking.

But he didn't care anymore.

At the same time, the other shareholders also heard the news.

And they, too, didn't object but instead began considering acquiring more shares of Mickford.

Although Mickford's product sales weren't great at the moment, they had at least built up a loyal fanbase.

And these loyal fans still had quite decent spending power.

However, these loyal fans had often complained about the lack of video games for Mickford's products, but to the shareholders, that didn't seem important.

But now, since they didn't need to pay any extra costs, trying out video games didn't seem like a bad idea.

"Good, it looks like the shareholders have no objections to my suggestion. Next, I want to say that I will be increasing investment in the video game department. This time, we will make top-tier games, just like Gamestar Electronic Entertainment's high-end games. I remember Gamestar once promoted a type of industrialized, mass-production game, which they said was a standard answer. Does anyone here know about this?"

"Boss, I know a bit about that because I participated in Gamestar Electronic Entertainment's industrialized game development course."

An employee, who had always been a small leader in the game development department, stood up.

He looked a little excited.

The boss was planning to increase investment in video games, which meant that they would be getting more attention and, in turn, more opportunities for promotion!

If they didn't seize this opportunity now, it would be the biggest regret!

"Good. After the meeting, we can discuss the industrialized game development in detail."

Myron Case was very pleased.

At least now, there were some people who could be of great use.

"Boss, I believe we shouldn't limit ourselves to industrialized mass-production games. I mean, the games we make can try to be on a bigger scale."

At this point, another person stood up. He was also from the game development department, but he had led a team of over a hundred people in charge of mid-to-small-scale game development.

His team had always struggled with limited funds for game development, which had stifled his ambitions in the field.

Of course, he could consider going to a bigger game company to fully utilize his strengths.

But as the saying goes, it's better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.

That's the kind of person he was—if given a chance in this position, he would be the biggest beneficiary.

Seeing someone already stepping forward, he no longer hesitated.

"A bigger scale? How big?" Myron Case asked.

"A thousand-person development team, with game development funding starting at $100 million. Of course, this doesn't include the costs for game engine licenses or marketing expenses."

Everyone immediately looked back at the team leader in shock.

Starting with $100 million? That was insane.

"Do you have the confidence to surpass Gamestar Electronic Entertainment?"

"Of course not." The team leader answered bluntly. "How could we surpass Gamestar's status with just one game? But boss, don't worry. If the direction I'm envisioning is correct, at least we will be able to establish a solid foothold in the video game industry. And at that point, we will have more followers. Isn't that what you want, boss?"

His words were very honest. To try to surpass Gamestar was indeed a fool's dream.

Gamestar Electronic Entertainment was an almost insurmountable giant.

It had been said that unless Gamestar messed things up themselves, they could survive on their past achievements for at least forty years.

Not to mention Gamestar's top-tier game developers and one legendary figure: Takayuki.

"Alright, we can discuss the specific details after the meeting. As for the funding you want, that's negotiable."

"Thank you for your trust, boss!"

The team leader was extremely excited.

It seemed that he had made the right bet.

The boss truly wanted to make a name for himself in the video game industry.

He had finally realized that the products themselves weren't the key—what mattered were the contents.

There were many forms of entertainment.

Video entertainment, literary entertainment, music entertainment, and so on.

But according to market research, the global video game industry was estimated to be worth hundreds of billions of dollars over the next decade.

And over the next fifty years?

It was estimated to be worth trillions of dollars.

Such a massive market, no one would want to miss a piece of it.

It was just that Myron Case had always been too proud to touch video games.

Now, chasing after the top-tier game companies seemed impossible, but Mickford was still a company with money. As long as there was enough time, and with bold people willing to take risks, it wasn't impossible to carve out a place.

After that, several people continued to voice their ideas during the meeting.

Of course, Myron Case didn't directly approve their requests but suggested discussing them individually after the meeting. He needed to carefully review each person's basic approach, as he didn't want to waste money.

At this moment, Myron Case had felt a surge of passion he hadn't experienced in a long time.

Of course, he still didn't fully understand the allure of video games.

What he needed to do next was to figure out how to understand the charm of video games as much as possible.

Starting with the top-tier games, he would dive into them.
