Chen Mo had previously suspected that Origin's method of playing games was to connect to the computer through a cable. Wasn't that a hack?
Hacks worked by modifying the signals of humans, allowing them to do things that humans couldn't. Obviously, Origin was a more comprehensive and powerful hack.
If part of Origin's functions were taken out and made into support functions, such as automatic team fights, automatic teleport back to the city when low health, and automatic support for normal players, wouldn't that be the best hack?
Moreover, Origin's camouflage was very good. After limiting the APM, it could fool most players. Chen Mo was only able to discover its flaws after checking the data.
Chen Mo also noticed that Origin didn't trigger any anti-virus or security alerts when it was connected to the computer and played Warcraft.
If this was a hack, then it shouldn't have been discovered.
Chen Mo wondered if Origin had something to do with these hacks.
Of course, it couldn't be that Seventh Vision developed their own hacks. They were a high tech company that researched artificial intelligence. They were one of the top three companies in the world in terms of assets. Why would they make a hack to make money?
However, was there such a possibility?
In order to allow the artificial intelligence Origin to blend into the ladder of other games, pretending to be a real player and collecting game data, Seventh Vision created some kind of anti-detection program for it?
The reason why it was' other games' was because Origin wasn't just limited to Warcraft. In Seventh Vision's plan, any type of game, including popular VR games, as long as there was room for artificial intelligence, would be the focus of Origin's research.
According to Origin's plan, they would definitely move on to other projects after conquering Warcraft. This was only the beginning.
If there was a program to avoid detection, would someone secretly use this technology to create a hack?
Or rather, even if the technology wasn't leaked by Seventh Vision, if Seventh Vision was able to develop this technology, then other companies could as well?
All in all, this latest hack must have benefited from a certain technological innovation.
The technology in China seemed to be lagging behind at the moment, but it would catch up soon. Just like in Chen Mo's previous life, after Google developed the AI Alpha Dog, there were also AIs such as Jueyi and Xingtian.
Then, with artificial intelligence entering the gaming industry on a large scale, would it signify the arrival of a new era?
There were too many functions that artificial intelligence could play in the game.
For example, according to the rules set by the designer, the entire game world could be automatically changed, creating a system similar to "God's Will", making the players' adventures more varied and complicated.
At that time, the scenes depicted in Xianxia novels could be seen in the game.
Another example was that some key NPCs would be controlled by artificial intelligence. This way, whether players were playing single-player games or online games, it would feel like they were talking to real people instead of NPCs that were designed with lines and scripts.
Think about it. An NPC with a well-planned personality and behavior pattern would act according to your favorability level with them. Coupled with her super good looks, many otaku would probably be addicted to games, wouldn't they?
A character drawing was enough to make many people spend money on it, let alone an AI lady in a VR game that could talk and respond to you.
Artificial intelligence could even pretend to be a player and play along with the game's script, allowing real players to have a more realistic gaming experience.
In the past, the game designer had to design very complicated and detailed rules for the game. If there was a flaw in one of the rules, it could cause the entire system to have a bug or even crash. Moreover, no matter how complicated the design was, the system was ultimately dead. It was just a well-wound puppet that would only operate according to a relatively obvious pattern.
However, with the help of artificial intelligence, many elements in the game could be brought to life, making the game world more realistic.
This could be a revolutionary step for VR games, especially those with open worlds.
Of course, it was still too early to think about this as Origin hadn't reached that level yet. Moreover, it was too expensive to make it widely available for the time being.
However, with the level of technology in this world, who could say for sure that the development of artificial intelligence would stop?
If it continued to develop at its current speed, it wouldn't be strange for artificial intelligence to be able to play as many real players in the game.
…
The next day, in Chen Mo's office.
Chen Mo touched his bracelet and opened the virtual screen.
It had been a long time since Chen Mo drew a prize, and his hands were itching to do it.
The main reason was that he had enough power from before. What he did recently, including the World Finals for LoL, the development of Shores of the Earth, and Overwatch, Chen Mo's power was more than enough.
Chen Mo wanted to see if he could get an item to counter the cheats when the cheats were rampant, but he didn't get anything even after drawing a few million RMB, so he gave up on the idea.
It could be said that Chen Mo's current power was quite comprehensive, and he wasn't in a rush to improve his power.
After a year of hard work, although Chen Mo's income wasn't small, it wasn't as explosive as before.
It was mainly because of Chen Mo's marketing strategy.
LoL was still in the marketing phase, especially for the World Finals, where Chen Mo used the profits from LoL to pay for it.
As a VR game, Overwatch had a lot of investment. Although Chen Mo's shocking free VR game brought in a lot of users, it would take some time before it could actually start making money.
As for Outlast and Shores of the Earth, they were only niche games. Although they were profitable in the eyes of other video game designers, they were nowhere near the 'money tree games' in Chen Mo's eyes.
Of course, it wasn't as profitable as it was in his previous life. In the parallel world, Thunderbolt Entertainment was one of the top three video game companies in China alongside Emperor Dynasty Entertainment and Zen Entertainment in many players' hearts.
Moreover, their reputation was much better than those two companies.
