Yize iMicrosoft imemezele ukuthi imboni yabo ibhidliza ukutholwa kweZeniMax, iqembu okuyinkampani engabazali beBethesda (omunye wabashicileli abakhulu bezinkampani zangaphandle embonini, kanye nabantu abalandela amanye ama-franchise amakhulu kakhulu, ikakhulukazi. Abadala Imiqulu futhi fallout), besilinde “ukugunyazwa ngokomthetho” ukuze sazi ukuthi isivumelwano sizophumelela noma cha. Isimemezelo sakamuva sokwakhiwa kwe-“Vault”, inkampani ephethwe yi-Microsoft ezosebenzisa i-ZeniMax kubo, nokho, kubonakala kukhombisa ukuthi umugqa wokuqeda ususondele ukuze inqubo iqedwe. Ngempela, ukwakhiwa kwenkampani engaphansi ezimele kungase kube isinyathelo esihloselwe ukushweleza abalawuli.
Ukuba semthethweni kwesimo eceleni, nokho, manje sekuyacaca ukuthi iBethesda, nazo zonke izitudiyo ezimangalisayo, imidlalo, nama-IPs abawaphethe, bazoba yingxenye ye-Xbox Game Studios. Okuyi- amazing bazuze iMicrosoft emizamweni yabo yokuqinisa iqembu labo lokuqala (futhi mhlawumbe lenza iqembu labo lokuqala lithandeke kakhulu kunelika-Sony, okungenani kimi) - kodwa okubuza umbuzo, ingabe lezi ezinhle, ezichaza imboni, ama-franchise amakhulu kanye nemidlalo izoba I-Xbox ekhethekile kusukela manje?
Manje ukuze kucace, lena akuyona ingxoxo ngalokho engikucabangayo kuthanda kwenzeka, lokhu kuyingxoxo ezimele ngokuphelele kulokho. Lokhu kuhlaziya kuzama ukubhekana nenkinga ngombono wokuthi iMicrosoft noma cha kufanele qhubeka nokubeka imidlalo ye-Bethesda kumapulatifomu e-PlayStation ne-Nintendo (phela, esinye sezizathu ezenza leyo midlalo ithengise izinombolo ezinazo kungenxa yokutholakala kwayo yonke indawo). Ngokombono weMicrosoft, ingabe kunengqondo ngokwengeziwe ukuqhubeka nokubeka le midlalo kuma-consoles ezimbangi? Noma ingabe zisetshenziswa kangcono ngokuzigcina ngaphakathi kwe-Xbox ecosystem?
I-Microsoft Ikala Kanjani Impumelelo
Ngaphambi kokuthi sifinyelele kuleyo mpendulo, nokho, ake sithathe isikhashana, futhi, siphinde sigcizelele ukuthi liyini isu eliwumgogodla lebhizinisi leMicrosoft emakethe yemidlalo nge-Xbox. Ngomlando wabaphathi bezinkundla abanjengoPlayStation noNintendo ababeka phambili ukuthengiswa kweyunithi yehadiwe ukuze kube lula ukuthengiswa kweyunithi yesoftware kanye nenzuzo ngamamodeli anelayisense, kungaba lula ukubhajwa kumodi lapho okuwukuphela kwendlela yempumelelo umuntu ayicabangayo ingeyendabuko - okungukuthi, uma ungathengisi amayunithi ayizigidi eziyi-100 njenge-PlayStation noma i-Nintendo, kusho ukuthi awenzi kahle ngempela.
Ukukhuluma iqiniso, lokho kuyiqiniso if usemakethe ukuze uthengise ama-consoles. Microsoft wenza sebenzisa ukuzama ukwenza lokho - i-Xbox, i-Xbox 360, kanye ne-Xbox One yasekuqaleni zonke zizame ukusondela emakethe zinalowo mgomo engqondweni, wokuthengisa izingxenyekazi zehadiwe namasofthiwe amaningi. Kodwa-ke, ngokubonga kwabo, kubonakala sengathi iMicrosoft ibonile ukuthi asikho isidingo sokuphinda ujikijele ikhanda lakho odongeni (okuyiyona nto ekhuphuka ngokumelene nabadlali abagxiliswe njengePlayStation neNintendo), futhi benza i-pivot ehlakaniphile nxazonke. maphakathi ne-Xbox One gen.
Isu leMicrosoft manje ukuthengisa okubhaliselwe. Incazelo yabo yenkundla ye-Xbox manje isiyi-hardware agnostic, futhi i-Xbox iqukethe uchungechunge lwezingxenyekazi zehadiwe, izinsizakalo, okubhaliselwe, nemidlalo. I-Microsoft ifuna ukuba imodi yakho eyinhloko yokusebenzisana nomdlalo - kodwa ayinandaba ngempela ukuthi ufika kanjani lapho. Uma ufuna ukudlala ku-PC kuphela, kulungile ngalokho. Iselula? Into efanayo. Uma ufuna ukusebenzisa ama-Xbox consoles ukuze kube lula amapulatifomu e-console, akhona futhi. Kuwo wonke lo mkhakha, umzamo wabo uwukukusiza nge-Xbox Live kanye nezinsizakalo ze-Game Pass - empeleni, uma udlala ngocingo lwakho noma kwi-PC yakho, iMicrosoft ingathanda ukuthi udlule ku-Game Pass usebenzisa i-akhawunti yakho ye-Xbox Live. Isihogo, ngisho naku-PlayStation noma ikakhulukazi Shintsha, iMicrosoft inemidlalo (efana ne Minecraft or I-ori nehlathi eliyimpumputhe) ngamahhuku e-Xbox Live kuwo.
Lena indlela ehluke kakhulu yokusondela emakethe, ngoba kulokhu, iMicrosoft ingathengisa inani eliphansi kakhulu lamayunithi (aphansi kune-Xbox One ephethwe), futhi ibe yimpumelelo kakhulu ngenxa yababhalisi ababambe iqhaza, abakhulu, futhi imali eqhubekayo engenisa. Ngokuyisisekelo, iMicrosoft inqume ukuthi ngeke yini bakwazi ukuthengisa amakhophi ayizigidi ezingu-20 Halo kubanikazi be-Xbox abayizigidi eziyi-100, bangathanda ukuba nabasebenzisi be-Game Pass abayizigidi eziyi-100 - kuyo yonke i-Xbox kanye ne-non-Xbox hardware ngokufanayo - bonke bayadlala Halo esikhundleni salokho, futhi wenze imali ngazo ngaleyo ndlela.
Ngakho-ke iMicrosoft okuyisisekelo isisusa asisekho ukuthengisa ama-consoles. Kodwa lokhu enza hhayi kusho ukuthi abanandaba nhlobo nokuthengisa ama-consoles. Impela, bangajabula uma bekwenzile - ngokwesilinganiso, ama-consoles asangenisa imali eningi ngomsebenzisi ngamunye kune-PC noma umdlali weselula. Ngomdlali we-console, uthola imali ngokuthengwa kwesistimu (uma ithengiswa ngenzuzo), izesekeli ezifana nezilawuli, okubhaliselwe okufana ne-Xbox Live Gold (edingekayo ukuze uyidlale ku-inthanethi kuma-Xbox console, kodwa hhayi i-PC noma iselula. ), nemali evela wonke umdlalo owodwa abawuthengayo ohlelweni. Akukho kulokhu okuyiqiniso kubasebenzisi babo ku-PC noma kuselula. Ku-PC, i-Microsoft ithola imali yokuthenga imidlalo yayo kuphela, nemali yokubhalisela i-Game Pass kuphela (kodwa hhayi i-Xbox Live Gold). Ku-PC, iMicrosoft ayitholi mali yokuthenga imidlalo yezinkampani zangaphandle ngaphandle uma ithengwe ngesitolo seMicrosoft (futhi masikhulume iqiniso, bangaki abantu obaziyo abadlala ku-PC futhi abasebenzisa isitolo seMicrosoft kuphela, noma abayisebenzise nhlobo?) . Ku-PC, abadlali bangasebenzisa noma yisiphi isilawuli abasithandayo, okuhlanganisa i-PlayStation, i-Nintendo, ne-Steam. I-Ditto yeselula nayo.
Ngakho-ke kufika esenzweni sokulinganisa - iMicrosoft ngokusobala ifuna ukukhulisa ukubhaliswa kwe-Game Pass njengesisusa sebhizinisi esiyinhloko, kodwa singakwenzi lokho ngendlela yokuthi abantu bakhishwe ngokuphelele ekufuneni ukuthenga ikhonsoli ye-Xbox. Futhi ngicabanga ukuthi leli qiniso, ngaphezu kwakho konke okunye, yilo elizokwazisa isu leMicrosoft ngeBethesda nemidlalo yabo.
Yini iMicrosoft okufanele iyenze ngeBethesda Games
Ikhumbula konke lokhu okungenhla, iMicrosoft izonikezwa okungcono kakhulu ngokugcina imidlalo ye-Bethesda i-Xbox ecosystem ikhethekile - okungenani ngewindi elikhulu lokwethula. Kunezizathu eziningi zalokhu, kodwa zonke zehlela ezinzuzweni zebhizinisi ezivamile zokuzikhethela, kuhlanganiswe nokuthola izinzuzo ezinhlelweni zabo zamanje ezigxile ekubhaliseni.
Okokuqala: njengoba i-Xbox ecosystem okwamanje ihlanganisa i-PC, iselula, ne-Xbox console, isisekelo sokufaka esingalungiseka semidlalo ye-Bethesda sisasikhulu. Ukulahlekelwa ngokwesiko kwezithameli okungenzeka umuntu wakucabangela esimweni lapho umshicileli wenkampani yangaphandle athengwe umnikazi wenkundla akusebenzi lapha. I-Bethesda ayidayisi nje kubanikazi be-Xbox console, ithengisela abanikazi be-Xbox console, kanye nabadlali abaku-PC (futhi khumbula, i-PC ne-Xbox izimakethe ezimbili ezinkulu zemidlalo ye-Bethesda, ngalolo hlelo), futhi okungenzeka, indawo yonke. yamakhulu ezigidi zabadlali kuma-smartphone namathebulethi.
Okwesibili - ukugcina igeyimu ikhethekile ku-Xbox ecosystem kuphoqa abantu ukuthi bazibandakanye nayo uma befuna ukudlala imidlalo ye-Bethesda. Izinketho zakho uma ufuna ukudlala Imiqulu Yabadala 6 kungaba ukuthenga ikhonsoli ye-Xbox kanye nekhophi yomdlalo; thenga ikhonsoli ye-Xbox bese ubhalisela i-Game Pass; bhalisa ku-Game Pass ku-PC; bhalisela i-Game Pass kuselula; thenga ikhophi yomdlalo ku-PC. Kuzo zonke lezi zimo, iMicrosoft ithola imali yakho, kuyilapho ikwenza ube yi- engenisa imali ingxenye ye-Xbox ecosystem.
Okwesithathu - ukhulisa amandla okuthengiswa kwe-console. Bheka, yize kukhona okungenani abanye abanikazi be-PC abathenga kuphela ama-consoles emidlalo abangakwazi ukuyidlala kuma-PC kodwa bakwazi kulezo zinhlelo, inqwaba yabanikazi bamakhonsoli bathenga ama-consoles ukuze kube lula kulawo mapulatifomu. Abanaso isithakazelo ngempela kumdlalo we-PC noma weselula noma ukusakaza, yingakho imidlalo ye-console ikwazile ukubhekana nokukhuphuka nempumelelo (kulungile, hhayi kakhulu ukusakaza, kodwa namanje) kuzo zontathu zazo futhi zikwazile. ukuze achume ngisho eduze kwabo.
Kusho ukuthini lokhu ukuthi ubukhona be Imiqulu Yabadala 6 ku-PC noma kuselula akusho lutho kumdlali ojwayelekile we-PlayStation noma weNintendo. Kubo-ke, okuwukuphela kwenketho yokudlala umdlalo ukuthenga i-Xbox. Okusho ukuthi iMicrosoft namanje ikwazi ukuthengisa amakhonsoli athile, kanye neminye imidlalo kanye/noma okubhaliselwe, kubantu ngokulenga imidlalo ye-Bethesda njengesiyengo.
Ngamanye amazwi, ukugcina imidlalo ye-Bethesda ikhethekile ku-Xbox ecosystem kuvumela iMicrosoft ukuthi iqhubekisele phambili inkundla yabo. ngaphandle, ngandlela-thile, yendabuko nebubi kokukhethekile. Bazoba nekhekhe labo futhi balidle kulesi simo.
Kodwa kukhona icala Minecraft
Ubufakazi obuphikisayo obubaluleke kakhulu bekusasa ngemidlalo yeBethesda engaba yi-Xbox kuphela engiyibonile yindaba Minecraft. I-Microsoft ithenge lokho manje osekuwumdlalo omkhulu kunayo yonke emlandweni ekuqaleni kweshumi leminyaka elidlule - futhi bekungumdlalo omuhle kakhulu ngaleso sikhathi. Nokho, kunokuba uqhubeke ukukhiya Minecraft phansi ku-Xbox consoles, futhi uyisebenzisele ukuphusha i-Xbox ngaleyo ndlela, iMicrosoft yakhetha uku... yenza okuphambene ncamashi. Minecraft yasakazwa ezinkundleni eziningi kunangaphambili. Iqhubekile nokuza kuma-consoles e-PlayStation, i-PlayStation handheld, i-Nintendo consoles, i-Nintendo handhelds, amaselula, amaphilisi, i-VR, i-AR, ngaphezu kwe-PC kanye ne-Xbox platforms, kunjalo. Uma iMicrosoft ikhethe ukugcina i-multiplatform franchise multiplatform ephumelele kakhulu ngisho nangemva kokutholwa ngaleso sikhathi, kungani bengeke bakwenze lokho ngeBethesda?
Nokho, okokuqala, umongo uhluke kakhulu. Minecraft kwakuyisenzakalo ngoba yokutholakala kwayo yonke indawo, nokuyikho okudale ukuthi ibambe iqhaza elibalulekile labadlali abancane. Izingane emhlabeni wonke zingakwazi ukuqalisa igeyimu futhi ziyidlale ngaphandle kokudinga ukuhlukumeza umama nobaba ukuze bachithe amakhulu amadola ethoyizini elisha elicwebezelayo labo. Ngisho nefoni endala izokwazi ukudlala Minecraft kuhle nje. IMicrosoft cishe yalibona ngobuhlakani inani layo Minecraft kwakuwuphawu ngokwalo, kunokuba lube namandla e-Xbox ecosystem. Ngamanye amazwi, kunokuba i-hamstringing Minecraft ukusunduza i-Xbox, bakhethe ukunqamula i-Xbox ukuze baphushe Minecraft, futhi umlando ufakazele ukuthi leso kwakuyisinqumo esifanele.
Imvelo yokuthengwa kwe-Bethesda yehlukile. Uma kubhekwa iqiniso lokuthi inani labantu eliyinhloko lemidlalo ye-Bethesda akuzona izingane (izithameli ezaziwayo eziguquguqukayo neziqhutshwa imfashini), kodwa kunalokho abalandeli abashisekayo abamatasa, iMicrosoft iyazi ukuthi ingagcina ibhange kubalandeli beBethesda empeleni basebenzise imali ku-Xbox ukuze badlale imidlalo yeBethesda. Imvelo yokuthenga okubili ihlukile, ngoba lapho kwenziwa khona Minecraft okukhethekile bekuzovele kubangele ukuthi u-Timmy omncane aphenduke adlale omunye umdlalo yena ayengakwenza angene ku-iPad kamama wakhe, enze Imiqulu Yabadala 6 okukhethekile ngeke kube nomphumela ofanayo, ngoba uma ungumuntu Abadala Imiqulu fan, uyadlala Imiqulu Yabadala 6.
Ngamanye amazwi, uzama ukuqhathanisa Minecraft ekuthengeni kwe-Bethesda kwenza umqondo omncane kakhulu, ngoba wona kanye umongo wokuthenga okubili uhlukile. Minecraft yathengwa ngenxa yekhono lomkhiqizo; I-Bethesda yathengwa ngenxa yokwanda okungaba khona kwe-Xbox ecosystem engayibangela. Enye ayifani nenye, futhi ukuqhathanisa lezi ezimbili kuwukukhohlisa. Futhi kunoma yikuphi, izethameli ezikwazi ukubhekana nemidlalo ye-Bethesda ziseziningi ngoba azigcini nje ngokuthengisela abanikazi bezingxenyekazi ezithile zekhompyutha.
Ekuphetheni
Bheka, angiyena umlandeli wokuhlanganiswa komkhakha, futhi angithandi iqiniso lokuthi onjiniyela nabashicileli bezinkampani zangaphandle bayathengwa futhi bathengwa kuyo yonke indawo. Kodwa yilokho okwenzekayo, ngakho-ke yilapho esikhona. Emhlabeni wami omuhle, ukutholwa kukaBethesda bekungeke kuguqule imidlalo yabo eza kwezinye izinkundla, kodwa futhi, lokhu akukhona ngalokho engikufunayo. Izinombolo zinengqondo kakhulu, futhi ngokususelwa ekuhlolweni okuhlosiwe kwesimo, akunakuphikwa ukuthi kuyinzuzo ye-Microsoft ukwenza izihloko ze-Bethesda zikhethelwe ku-Xbox ecosystem. Mhlawumbe singabona amanye amachweba wemidlalo emidala kanye/noma emincane ye-Bethesda eza eNintendo (noma i-PlayStation), kodwa kwenza umqondo omkhulu ukuwagcina ekhethekile kumapulatifomu e-Xbox isikhathi eside ngangokunokwenzeka.
Kunjalo, lokhu kungukuthatha kwami lesi simo - iMicrosoft, ngokwesibonelo, ingase inqume ukuthi ukugcina imidlalo ye-multiplatform akubalimazi, ngoba basaqinisa umtapo wezincwadi we-Game Pass, futhi ukuba nawo atholakale ngosuku lwesevisi nosuku kungukuthi. isisusa esanele sokwenza abantu bafune ukubhalisa (futhi esimweni sabadlali be-console kuphela, ukuthola ikhonsoli ye-Xbox ukuze bakwazi ukubhalisa). Angazi-ke yibona abagijimisa izinombolo futhi yibona abazogcina bethathe isinqumo ababona kungcono ukuthi basithathe. Ngokusekelwe endleleni engibona ngayo izinto? Kuyoba into ehlakaniphe kakhulu abangayenza ukuze balinganisele ukutholakala kwezihloko ze-Bethesda ku-Xbox ecosystem kanye neplathifomu - ngandlela thize noma enye.
Qaphela: Imibono evezwe kulesi sihloko ngeyombhali futhi ayimeleli imibono ye-GamingBolt, futhi akufanele ukuthi ibalulwe ku-GamingBolt njengenhlangano.
