Translator 549690339
âWith the end of the TGN annual games Awards ceremony, this yearâs game of the year was announced. â
âWithout a doubt, Chen Zhaoâs Legend of Zelda. â
âThere was no doubt about the results. When Legend of Zelda swept the video game media around the world and got more than a dozen full marks, this yearâs game of the year was almost in the bag. â
âMonster Hunter and Assassinâs Creed were also nominated for this yearâs Game of the Year awards, which meant that Chen Mo almost took all the games of the year Awards, which made the title of best Designer of the Year a lost cause. â
âOf course, the title of âbest video game Designer of the Yearâ wasnât announced by the video game media. For video game media, selecting video game designers was more important than video game designers. â
This title existed in the hearts of every player.
âIt was just like the high-voted answer on the domestic question and answer website Chen Mo didnât need games of the year to prove himself, but games of the year needed him to prove himself. â
âIf Chen Moâs game didnât get game of the year, people wouldnât think that Chen Moâs game wasnât good. Instead, they would think that there was something wrong with the award. â
âThe news of game of the year didnât cause much of a stir, but the next two pieces of news instantly caught the attention of players all over the world. â
Chen Mo entered the world Gaming Hall of Fame.
Chen Mo was on the cover of Times Magazine.
âThe world game Hall of Fame was to record and let more people remember and understand the group or individual who had made outstanding contributions to the game and had a significant impact on the development of the game. It could be regarded as a Lifetime Achievement Award in the game industry around the world. Those who were selected were all the worldâs best video game designers, and each of them had one or more super-classic games with great influence. â
âIt wasnât too surprising that Chen Mo was in the world Gaming Hall of Fame. After all, to be able to win the best game of the year for three years in a row wasnât an unprecedented achievement, but it was definitely unprecedented. â
âIn terms of influence, there were a few famous designers who could compare to Chen Mo, but there was no other designer who could produce as much as Chen Mo. â
âMoreover, in this era, Chen Zhao had already become the most dazzling one. â
âTo the players, it was only a matter of time before Chen Mo entered the World Hall of Fame. Some even thought that Chen Mo shouldâve made it last year. â
âHowever, the news of Time Magazineâs cover shocked many players. â
âTime magazine would choose a ââman of the momentââ as the cover every year. Its purpose was to ââselect the person who had the most impact on news and peopleâs lives.ââ In the beginning,ââMan of the Yearââ was not an honor. It was only considered from the point of ââthe most influential.ââ However, the selection became more and more politically charged, and a large portion of the people on the cover were politicians. â
âHowever, some people who had outstanding achievements in other fields would also be taken into consideration, such as IT industry leaders, scientists who had made major breakthroughs, influential stars, outstanding athletes, and so on. â
âAfter entering an era of peace, the number of political missions appearing on Time Magazineâs influential figures slowly decreased. Due to the attention that the gaming industry received in the parallel world, the gaming industry was also seen as being on the same level as cultural entertainment, sports, and other traditional fields. It had a very profound impact on the development of the entire world. â
What caught everyoneâs attention was Time Magazineâs comment on Chen Mo being the Man of the Year.
âOn the cover of Times Magazine, Chen Zhao tilted his head slightly and looked at the front left of the camera with a faint smile. This photo originated from the widely circulated emoji package ââserenteâs smileââ on the internet. However, it had been specially processed to remove the irrelevant background and change it to a dark background. â
âA small part of his face was hidden in the shadows, making his facial features look more three-dimensional and mysterious. â
âAt the top of the screen were the four bright red English letters ââTIME,ââ and above them was the title ââPerson of the Year.ââ On the right side of the picture was a short comment. â
SILENT
CHEN
â
THE MAN
WHO CHANGED
THE GAME
âTranslated into Chinese, it meant ââthe person who changed the game,ââ but it also had another meaning,ââthe person who changed the rules of the game.ââ â
âThis was because the word âgameâ didnât just refer to video games. It could also be considered âall gamesâ in a broad sense. This meant that Chen Mo wasnât just changing the game industry, he was also changing every aspect of the world, including the way people lived. â
To be able to get this evaluation on Time Magazineâs cover was already a very high praise.
âIn the more detailed reason for the selection, Time magazine wrote,ââ â
âââIn the known history of mankind, games have never been so deeply embedded in everyoneâs lives as they are today. Mobile phones, personal computers, VR gaming pods, smart glasses ... While smart devices are constantly changing peopleâs lifestyles, the games on them are also becoming more and more abundant, becoming an indispensable part of peopleâs daily life and entertainment. ââ â
âââTo many players, many games have become virtual worlds independent of reality, making our world more diverse.ââ â
âââUp until now, the game industry has been highly developed, and only the top designers can satisfy the increasingly picky players. The perfect virtual world experience brings people a dream world that canât be touched even if they exhaust all their imagination. This kind of bubble-like illusory but seemingly tangible reality comes from the geniusâs mind and inexhaustible inspiration. ââ â
âââTo commemorate the great achievements of the game industry, Time Magazineâs annual person award is awarded to salent Chen.ââ â
âââJust like his name, he was silent most of the time, as if he was immersed in an ocean of his own thoughts. He was so focused that no one could guess the meaning behind his silence and smile. He would always make shocking decisions and choices, and in the future, he would be full of foresight. ââ â
âââThe entire worldâs video game industry has acknowledged him as the greatest video game designer of this era. Heâs a genius, and heâs been making one game after another with his feet on the ground. â
âââMoreover, unlike other designers, salent himself is a top gamer. In his battle with the artificial intelligence, he has gained the attention of the world and is worshipped by many players.ââ â
âââHe and this era are mutually benefiting. We are experiencing a major change, just like the major turning points of the Industrial Revolution and the information revolution. However, this change is carried out in a more subtle and likable way. The game is changing our world.ââ â
