One month after the launch of "Elf World", some similar mr games that imitated this game were also launched one after another.
However, these games did not shake the status of "Elf World" at all, and did not even make much waves.
The reason is simple, they can copy the gameplay of "Elf World", but it is difficult to copy the IP, and they can't find any way to offset the first-mover advantage of "Elf World".
The prerequisite for counterfeit products to be comparable to the original is to surpass the quality of the original in at least one aspect, such as gameplay, picture quality, ip, number of players, and so on.
However, looking back at "Elf World", its gameplay and picture quality have temporarily reached the top of this genre, and there is not much room for improvement.
In terms of ip, not to mention other big ip mastered by Leiting Huyu, only the elf images in "Pokemongo" are also classic images that have passed the double test of players' taste and time. It can basically be said that the game company wants to defeat "Elf World" with a counterfeit image that has been produced for more than a month.
Moreover, "Elf World" has set off a global craze through the World Boss event, and this event just cannot be replicated.
Other game companies also want to do world boss events, but how? Opened a boss, but only a few dozen people were present? These dozens of people looked at each other, wouldn't they feel particularly awkward...
Seeing that there are only a few people playing this game, it will have the effect of dissuading them from quitting.
This kind of game has strong social attributes, and the more people play, the more scale effect it can produce. For other game developers, how can they promote their own "Elf World"-like games under the premise that "Elf World" has become popular all over the world? This is an almost insoluble problem.
What's more, "Elf World" has penetrated into every aspect of the player's life. Even when many friends gather, they will discuss the pet they just caught and engage in pet battles. In normal times, players are also used to letting their pets Follow around yourself, and when you are bored, you will feel very comfortable watching the elf you have worked so hard to stretch and pose.
At this time, if a player has played other "Elf World"-like games, is he willing to join the topic of friends
Moreover, even if he wanted to show off, other people would not be able to see his pet at all, and even if they did, they would not feel how precious it was at all.
If you can't enjoy the social help brought by this game at all, it can be said to be a blood loss in terms of game experience.
Only when the number of players reaches a certain level, and only after the players truly agree with the value of the elves in the game, can game developers establish a stable and clear price system and form a large and stable game community.
At this point, all the players of "Elf World" are firmly held by Thunder Interactive Entertainment, and other similar games can't be dug even if they want to.

In the experience store, Chen Mo had just finished talking with Zhou Jiangping.
Zhou Jiangping was very excited to talk about the historic breakthrough of matrix glasses in the overseas market, and the market share has increased by 3 percentage points compared with last week.
Chen Mo seemed quite calm about this, and just briefly explained to Zhou Jiangping the promotion plan for the next period of time.
At the same time, matrix glasses, as a brand-new smart device, will also develop more practical functions to further facilitate all aspects of people's lives.
For example, the glasses are bound to the mobile phone, and Jarvis is controlled by consciousness to handle affairs on the mobile phone, such as replying to messages, answering calls, etc., to achieve the effect of consciously controlling the mobile phone in disguise.
You can also consider cooperating with the police. After real-name authentication and verification of the user's identity, you can temporarily turn on the camera function to record the crime scene when calling the police, and use it for evidence collection, thereby reducing the crime rate.
Of course, these functions need continuous development and improvement, close cooperation with various institutions, and gradual changes in everyone's concepts and awareness.
But in any case, technology is changing everyone's life. Sooner or later, smart glasses will go deeper into the field of reality, and even a little bit will become like a smartphone, and everyone has one.
And in terms of games:
After that, "Elf World" will still carry out a world boss capture activity every once in a while, and at the same time will slowly update the elf illustration book and add new gameplay to maintain the players' enthusiasm for this game.
However, Chen Mo is also very clear that after this game becomes popular all over the world, it will inevitably gradually enter a period of calm and stability.
The reason is also very simple.
On the one hand, there is still a bottleneck in mr technology. Currently, the screens that can be displayed in "Elf World" are already the highest-level screens. If you want to make more complex games with richer gameplay, you need to wait for the further improvement of the hardware level.
On the other hand, players' enthusiasm for "Elf World" cannot rise without limit. Now is the stage of "Elf World". Many players even spend more than 20 hours a week catching elves in the wild. This time is obviously seriously inflated, and it takes up their time to rest after get off work and play other games.
At the beginning, players felt very fresh about the gameplay of "Elf World", but this enthusiasm will gradually drop. Maybe after two or three months, many players' attitudes towards this game will change from "sleepless and restless" "Actively go to the wild to catch elves" has changed to "catch elves on the way when going out", and the weekly game time has fallen back to less than ten hours or even shorter.
After all, most players have their own jobs and lives, as well as various other entertainment activities. Just like other games, "Elf World" will eventually get boring.
However, for Chen Mo, "Elf World" has achieved such popularity in a short period of time, and it has perfectly fulfilled its mission. On the one hand, it has become the most popular mr game nowadays, on the other hand, it has promoted the matrix glasses to the whole world and seized a large market share, which is equivalent to laying a solid foundation for the future mr game competition.
If at some point in the future, the mr game field ushers in new technological changes or new game outlets, then relying on the market share occupied by the matrix glasses, Chen Mo will also establish a first-mover advantage in the mr game field.
What's more, the fact that "Elf World" has entered a stable period does not mean that it will become cold, and old players will gradually accumulate. For a long time in the future, "Elf World" will be the best game for players to go out. There is no such thing as mr game.
…
The mr game can be regarded as a small episode, and Chen Mo has to consider the next research and development plan.
In terms of the current level of technology, mr is a new trend, but vr games still dominate.
This year, Chen Mo will continue to launch more high-quality games that can compete for the game of the year, further enhancing Leiting Huyu's dominance in the global game industry.
