Chapter 261: A seed
Chapter 261 - A seedFor a small company, being sued by the court has a considerable impact, but soon the young boss learned that Gamestar Electronics had sued quite a few companies this time.
There were at least thirty to forty game companies that had copied their company's code, and Gamestar Electronics sued them all at once.
Moreover, they also hired a group of professional lawyers specializing in infringement, completely indifferent to money.
Obviously, Takayuki wanted to warn some unscrupulous people that if they wanted to scrape some benefits from him, they should be prepared for his fierce counterattack, even if it meant paying a terrible price.
But whether Gamestar Electronics could bear this price was another question.
"A Japanese company, just a newly risen company, wants to use both low-price loss-making strategies and legal weapons to fight. They are clearly a bit arrogant. Let's just hold out against them. Although we will suffer some losses, if we can bankrupt this big company, then we are also victorious!"
After a day of shock, the bosses of more than a dozen game companies calmed down.
Takayuki's attack was fierce, and it did make them panic at first.
But after thinking for a while, they felt that it might not be so bad after all.
No one knew exactly how much money Gamestar Electronics made, and these small companies didn't have proper statistical channels. But in their view, Gamestar Electronics shouldn't have made much money. After all, they still needed to invest a lot of funds. If they invested most of their liquidity in selling games at a loss and fighting lawsuits, it would obviously be a losing behavior.
This dual-line approach was not cost-effective.
So these dozen or so small companies gradually became more confident.
A few days later, they immediately started selling their game products for four dollars each. Four dollars was their profit line, any lower would mean a loss. Sell off all these games first, then they would invest a little bit more money to develop new games without copying Gamestar Electronics' code anymore.
This would increase development costs a bit, but in the current mature gaming industry, it wasn't a problem anymore.
Finally, new games could be sold for about five dollars, and they could still compete with Gamestar Electronics.
They believed that the games sold by Gamestar Electronics must be sold at a loss, otherwise the games shouldn't be so cheap.
As long as they hold out for this period, the future will be bright.
At this time, Yukihito Hayakawa also learned of this news.
When he heard about Gamestar Electronics' series of operations, he was also shocked.
Too risky.
This kind of operation carried great risks, and one small mistake could lead to the company's ruin.
But at the same time, he admired Takayuki.
He was a person willing to defend an industry.
The impact of those junk games on them was the greatest, causing the sales of their PN2 game console, which had just been released, to plummet.
The PN1 game console was even worse.
Originally, he planned to announce their first handheld console recently, but had to shelve it temporarily because of this incident, to cut losses in time.
Otherwise, they might incur huge promotion costs, but still couldn't resist the spreading ability of those cheap junk games.
Cheap junk games were like viruses, and Takayuki was like an antivirus expert now, paying a 'price' to kill these viruses.
But after careful consideration and analysis by several professional re
It turns out that games can be really fun, and what they had played before was simply indescribable, uncomfortable. A seed from Gamestar Electronics quietly planted in their young hearts and had already sprouted.
