Chapter 277： Doom's Multifaceted Impact

Chapter 277 The Multifaceted Influence of Doom

The release of   DOOM caused some anomalies in the US side of the market.

Of course this anomaly is a good thing for video games.

More and more people who had little interest in video games before started playing games.

I have to say that the United States really has a deep gun complex.

First-person shooters naturally have certain advantages in this country.

The appearance of    Destroyer immediately became the darling of the American market.

Originally, the sales of SFC started to weaken due to the sales of cheap game consoles FC. Soon after the release of Doom, the sales quickly rose again, and it came back to the point where it was close to out of stock.

This is not enough.

The percentage of Americans owning personal PCs is very high, and they are naturally a huge group of potential customers.

When Doom was released on PC, it was greeted by countless players who were very interested in Doom.

And these PC players are crazy enough to play Doom around the clock, almost tirelessly.

Some people have even gotten to the point where they start to affect their lives slightly.

However, Zhu Yuxing had already anticipated this.

In his original world, Doom was also very popular when it was released.

This is just history repeating itself.

This is very good news for Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

It's really scary that just the first week of Doom's sales has quickly added hundreds of millions of dollars to Takeyusei's revenue.

2 million, the price of a game reached 69 dollars, after removing the physical cost, the profit in the first week also reached the level of nearly 70 million US dollars.

In such a popular state, Doom is spreading like a virus.

‘Hey, have you heard of Doom? Is that the shooting game? ’

'what? Have not heard? That's right, I'll give you a good recommendation. This is a super cool game. If you don't play, you're not a real man! ’

There are many such remarks on the Internet. Although this kind of remarks is somewhat offensive, its influence is also very amazing.

With this viral spread, Doom's first week of sales is not over, and it continues to sell at a frantic rate.

The sales volume in the second week was also maintained at the level of 2 million.

In two weeks, the profit exceeded 100 million US dollars. This kind of earning ability is very terrifying.

Of course, the most terrifying thing is the impact of Doom Warrior on the thinking of Americans.

More and more people are unable to live normally because of Doom.

This is not an exaggeration at all, but some people are so addicted to it that they forget to eat and work.

What's more, some companies even play Doom from bosses to employees.

Their ongoing work projects were brought to a standstill.

That's the horror of Doom.

affects lives.

In some U.S. states, officials also seem to be aware of this.

Of course, they realized that this was not something they discovered on their own initiative, but they themselves got caught up in it, which indirectly led to problems in their government affairs.

And some of the civil servants under their command sometimes made mistakes when reporting their work information, and entered some nouns from Doom Warriors into their work documents, affecting the judgment of others.

"Governor, you should see this."

In the office of the governor of a certain state in the United States, the assistant walked in with a document with a solemn expression.

As soon as he entered the office, he heard a familiar sound of gunfire coming from the governor's office.

But the sound came to an abrupt end.

"Huh? Why didn't you knock on the door? Forget it, what's the matter? I'm a little busy right now, so hurry up and finish."

The assistant was dumbfounded.

He seemed to realize what the governor was doing just now.

The governor was playing Doom just now.

And what he wants to report is also about Doom.

He hesitated at this time.

But he still mustered the courage to step forward and handed over his statistics to the governor.

"Governor, here's the data I recently surveyed, a video game product is affecting us."

"Electronic games?"

The governor is very sensitive to this title now, and he is also a little guilty because he was also playing Doom just now.

He seriously opened the document submitted by the assistant and read it carefully.

Then, his expression became solemn.

In the file, the influence of the game Doom Warrior has been recorded in detail in the recent period.

One of the most significant is that many people are affected by their addiction to life, work and study.

This has a great impact on the United States.

If you continue to let such influences go unchecked, perhaps this game may act like some kind of contraband and affect society as a whole.

In order to make the information collected by the assistant more convincing, he also found some examples. These examples are related to the impact on life after playing Doom. Some employees of the Power Supply Bureau even caused the power supply to appear because of going to work and playing Doom. Mistakes, a region's power has experienced dramatic fluctuations.

There are also local companies playing with all members, which has caused several businesses of this company to stagnate. The owners are very dissatisfied and are planning to sue the company. If the lawsuit is successful, the company will also go bankrupt. As a result, many unemployed people will appear, which is also something that many people do not want to see.

The governor became more and more alarmed when he saw these news.

He can be considered the elite of the United States. Even the elite of him was so addicted to it just now that he almost forgot his job.

Then let alone ordinary people whose per capita intelligence is not high.

They will definitely be less resistant to video games.

This is really not a good sign.

At this time, he finally began to seriously examine this document, and then looked up at his personal computer again.

On his personal computer, there is still a picture of the Doom Warrior killing the enemy.

"Governor, the impact of this game is very serious, I suggest that it should be considered to regulate it now, and, you see, this is something created by a company from Japan, I have to doubt the ambition of the Japanese company, they may He has his own secrets."

The latter paragraph is of course just nonsense.

But the people are also very easy to believe such words.

If you use it properly, it can indeed bring a threat to Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

A state government will openly confront a Japanese game company, and the result is naturally obvious. The Japanese company cannot win. If it is not good, the governor can also gain some prestige.

He fought the influence of foreign cultures in the name of the people and brought people's lives back on track.
