The difference between insider-revealing games and internet entrepreneurship

Today's VC most of the network game and mobile game into the Internet entrepreneurship projects, and in fact, the two are essentially different, H is a circle in the game for nearly a decade of people, has created a number of game companies, and then in the Internet circle to fight business, This time he anonymously shared with us the three major differences between gaming companies and internet start-ups.   Through these sharing, you can see that although the game is an application branch of the Internet, but its own system, and the Internet company's entrepreneurial path has a significant difference, the operation and product ideas are also very different.   The first big difference: Game products can not be gradually improved   Internet company's product development idea is to run, the product even if the initial stage is very simple, can also be improved through the subsequent version of the iteration update, but the game product is not the case, whether the end or the hand tour, Open to the user needs to have a relatively perfect function, once the first gun did not, basically means that the product has become a history. This aspect of the typical products have NetEase's "World 2" and the "Mercenary World", two games launched by the market cold, and finally had to be recycled.   The second difference: plagiarism is not a problem   H said, if the Internet circle business, need to always beware of competitors plagiarism, which is typical of such as Mushroom street plagiarism Beautiful said, Word-of-mouth network plagiarism, similar cases abound. In the Internet circle of entrepreneurship, products, markets and business ideas once copied by competitors, it is likely to give opponents to catch up with their own opportunities. When the video industry was just emerging, the 56 network had maintained a leading position for quite some time, but Youku imitated 56 by way of complete plagiarism, eventually becoming the industry leader.   But in the game circle, plagiarism is not a problem. The game field is more like a creative industry, all creative industries have a common feature: success requires a little luck. Shi Yuzhu in "Journey" great success, has completely copied the game and system to create a name called "Giant" full 3D game, the result is "journey" continue to be a big hit, "giant" encounter Waterloo, their own plagiarism has not succeeded, so the game circle out of their own product quality to be excellent outside, Timing is also a determinant.   Similar cases and Shan Tiger made "My name Mt" great success, but "mercenary world" but Bingbairushandao, finally had to be recycled. Finally, this said not master had to sigh, entrepreneurship is like throwing a sieve, stick to it will have to shake the leopard that day, but many will be able to shake the leopard, only God knows.   The third difference: the money in the game is very good take   H said, oneself in the game circle, the envy of the day is those who do the Internet, O2O, mobile interconnection, peer-to-peer these professional terms of the whole hanging on the tip of the mouth, it appears incomparable high-end, atmosphere, upper grade. But went to the Internet circle to start a business, and found the bodyWhile doing the internet entrepreneurial Friends envy the game circle, because only the game industry away from money recently. Good projects as long as a demo will have a bunch of vcs like crazy to throw you money.   But the internet is not so high-end, atmosphere, on the grade, more internet entrepreneurs are cock silk origin, and has been cock silk. And do the game people may not be close to the money, now the game team want to find VC, angel investors give money, the chances of success than internet entrepreneurship is much smaller, coal bosses although willing to give money, but unless those who do not know the depth of the talent will take coal boss money, The general experienced entrepreneurs even if the sale of the car to do start-up funds will not go to take the money of the coal boss, the reason is very simple, take their money, entrepreneurial failure has to be hunted down the chance, entrepreneurship is to achieve the ideal of life, rather than desperate.   Summary   Some say marriage is like a siege, people outside the city desperately want to come in, and the city people are looking forward to go out all day. In fact, the game circle and the Internet circle of entrepreneurship is similar, there is a huge difference between the two, but because the lack of understanding and communication channels, just feel the other side of the industry looks very beautiful.
