Kyutaraki Ken was silent when he heard Jester say this.

Because he has not had such an experience, he has not experienced it personally, the hardships of those independent game producers when they make the games they want to make in their hearts. So when Jester said that he was made from such an independent game producer, Ken Kutaraki was speechless.

For a top student like him who graduated from Tokyo Electrical and Communication University, he joined Sony, which was not very famous in Japan at the time, and his classmates and colleges all joined NTT, who were much more famous than Sony at the time. However, with his talent, he has also risen to the top within Sony. Until now, he has become the leader of Sony's field.

However, it is also somewhat inaccurate to say that Ken Kutaraki has not experienced the difficult environment.

So, after Jester finished this passage, Ken Kutaraki was silent for a while, then shook his head slightly and said, "As Mr. Li, you said, as a hardware engineer, I have been working at Sony since graduation. I have indeed never experienced the difficulties and embarrassment of independent game producers you mentioned."

As he said that, Ken Kutaraki paused.

"But, Mr. Li, you may not know that when I was in my third year of college, my father was seriously ill, and my family hoped that I could drop out of school and take over the small printing house and bookstore at my home. I had already made up my mind to drop out, but my father told me in a very stern tone that only after graduating from college can one have a better way out..."

Jester listened quietly as Ken Kutaraki finished his experience, and he was also sighing.

"Sorry, it reminds you of something unpleasant."

After listening to Ken Kutaraki's story, Jester also apologized and expressed his apology: "It's true that I didn't think it well."

And Ken Kutaraki shook his head.

"Nothing. Everyone has experienced difficult situations. As long as you have perseverance and perseverance, you can survive. Combined with my own experience, I can understand the difficulties you are talking about indie game producers, and I am also a little bit judging a gentleman with a villain's heart. I really didn't expect that as a dictator in the industry, you will have the courage to do such things."

Jester and Ken Kutaraki didn't talk for a long time, after all, there were many things between the two.

This time, Ken Kutaraki came to the United States. In addition to attending the GDC Global Game Developer Conference, he also had to deal with some matters of some North American branches.

This is the first time Iwada Satoshi came to the United States, and was invited to Los Angeles to participate in the first GDC, Global Game Developer Conference.

In fact, Iwata Satoshi had no plans to come because the cost of coming to the United States was too high, and his salary was not too high. Especially after Nintendo announced his withdrawal from the game industry and transformed, it was established as Nintendo. The HAL Research Institute, which has been making games for Nintendo or conducting OEMs in games, has been operating miserably during this period.

Even because it is not a direct subsidiary of Nintendo, when Nintendo split the game department and major game companies are eyeing Nintendo's game talents, few people are interested in their research institute.

Even Satoshi Iwata has heard that Nintendo headquarters has planned to stop investing in the hal research institute. In other words, the remaining personnel of the hal research institute can only receive the last comfort money and be dismissed and then become an unemployed person.

But he is different from those young people who have just graduated from college.

He has graduated for the first time. As a person born in 1959, he is already thirty-one years old this year. It is really impossible to be as dedicated as young people and work hard in the new company. However, as a game producer, he really can't think of what else he can do besides making games.

Just when he felt that his future prospects were dim and there was no light, he suddenly received an invitation letter, an invitation letter to the GDC held in Los Angeles in January this year, the organizer of this conference actually invited himself to attend such a meeting. It has been hyped in the industry for a long time and is almost considered to be the highest-standard conference in the industry.

Moreover, the only one in the entire Hal Research Institute was actually received by the organizer.

At that time, Iwada Satoshi planned to refuse.

Because as Nintendo withdrew from the game industry, the salary of the hal research institute has also shrunk significantly, and he still has a family that needs him to support, so he is unwilling to go to the United States to attend such a meeting, which makes him spend a lot of savings.

However, after his wife found out, she encouraged him to come to Los Angeles to participate, because he knew that Iwada Satoshi loved game development very much. For Iwada Satoshi, his love for games was even more important than what he saw than his own life.

When Iwada Satoshi made up his mind to participate in this GDC and have an intimate exchange with the most famous developers in the industry to see if he could find a better job for himself and had a game-related job, the organizing committee contacted him. As an invitee, the cost of this trip, accommodation, and catering organizing committee will solve it for him, and he does not need to spend a penny.

This made Satoshi Iwada breathe a sigh of relief, and it could even be said that he was overjoyed.

After all, for him, this is not a small amount.

After the plane landed, Iwada Satoshi did not wait in the airport hall for too long. He saw the person sent by the GDC organizing committee to pick up the plane. A young man was holding a white card with Iwada Satoshi's name written in Japanese, which was very eye-catching in the airport hall.

Iwata's English is not good.

Of course, the organizing committee of GDC will not send someone who is proficient in Japanese to pick him up. After all, Satoshi Iwada is not a big shot in the game industry.

Although it is not good, the speaking speed is slower, and it is okay to conduct a little bit of Hello, I, everyone's simple daily communication is fine. It's just that Satoshi Iwada's strong Japanese-style English accent makes the young people who come to pick up the plane feel uncomfortable and have to ask a question repeatedly. Even if he can understand Satoshi Iwada's meaning, fortunately, there are not many information that the two need to communicate.

Sitting in the car, the pickup took him to the hotel arranged by the organizing committee.

Iwada Satoshi watched the scene in Los Angeles from the inside out from the car window.

Not as beautiful as Japan.

This is his first impression.

Developed than Japan, this is his second thought immediately. Then he remembered that when he was in Japan, he asked him why he sent him such an invitation letter, and he was the only one in hal. You know, he is not the most famous person in hal.

However, the organizing committee's reply was also very vague.

It is just that some senior executives of the GDC Organizing Committee have high praise for the games or projects he has participated in the production before and attach great importance to him. Therefore, this time he was specially invited to Los Angeles to attend the GDC Global Game Developer Conference. Even this senior executive hopes to meet and then have an in-depth discussion on some of his views on the game.

However, when Iwada Satoshi asked which senior executive valued him so much, the Japanese side of GDC was not known and did not give him an accurate answer.

So, for Satoshi Iwada, who has arrived in the United States, the most I want to know is who invited him to participate in this gdc.

I didn't want to get the answer from the young man who came to pick him up, but he was a little bored and asked the young man who was driving. Because of his Japanese accent, he repeated it several times, and the other party understood what he meant.

And the other party's answer was not beyond what Iwada Satoshi expected.

"I don't know much about this, but you are on the invitation list for Mars Entertainment. It should be an invitation from a big figure in Mars Entertainment." The young man who was driving thought for a while before answering this sentence.

Although he did not ask who invited me to participate in GDC, Iwada Satoshi still got the information he had, at least he knew which party he was invited.

However, this made Iwada Satoshi a little confused.

Because he really has no intersection with Mars Entertainment. Whether it is with the US headquarters, Japan branch, or even because of the accident caused by Jester, President Hiroshi Yamauchi, Arakawa took over Nintendo and split the game department, which caused the income of these people to drop sharply. He had scolded Mars Entertainment for many bad people before.

After thinking for a long time, Iwada Satoshi vaguely remembered that he had greeted Miyamoto Shigeru.

However, the friendship is not too deep. It only helped Nintendo's game write several programs. When it was made by Hal, it also discussed with Shigeru Miyamoto.

But it's not a private discussion.

It was just at a discussion meeting, and most of it was that I heard most of what others said. I might have said a few words at that time, and there was no highlight. According to his understanding, it was impossible for a big shot like Shigeru Miyamoto to remember.

But what she can remember now is the big man in Mars Entertainment, who has something to do with him.

That is Shigeru Miyamoto.

While he was thinking, the car had already arrived at the hotel where he was staying. The guy who picked up the plane accompanied Iwada Satoshi and finished the check-in procedures, then left. Iwada Satoshi wanted to keep this guy for something, but after more than an hour, there was another guy who needed him to pick him up, so Iwada Satoshi gave up the invitation.

ps:   I saw the news today that Nintendo President Satoshi Iwada passed away. Although he was a determined Ren Hei, he still sighed after seeing the news.

Satoshi Iwata is really an outstanding gaming entrepreneur, who has made indelible contributions to the development of electronic games and can be called the legendary president of Nintendo.
