凯文•周：改写社交游戏规则的人 对Zynga的社交网络游戏FarmVille及其他在线游戏嗤之以鼻的铁杆玩家应该拜会一下凯文•周。凯文•周的可视游戏公司Kabam使用网络作为其主界面，但其目标用户可不是那些所谓的“大众/菜鸟玩家”。Kabam公司的第一款游戏《亚瑟王国》（Kingdoms of Camelot）就是给《文明》（Cilization）和《星际争霸》（Starcraft）等复杂游戏的骨灰级玩家奉上的一份大礼。该公司已经推出了五款游戏，玩家数量总计已经达到了1,100万人。平均每次登陆，他们的游戏时间都超过三个小时。最近的一轮融资中，Kabam公司从谷歌风投（Google Ventures）和其他投资者手中融资8,500万美元，进一步证实了凯文•周成就一番事业的信念。 翻译：乔树静/汪皓 |
Gaming: Kevin Chou Hard-core players who turn up their noses at social games -- like Zynga's FarmVille and other online fare -- should meet Kevin Chou. Chou's videogame company, Kabam, uses the web as its main interface, but it isn't for lightweights ("casual gamers," in industry parlance). Kabam's first game out of the gate, Kingdoms of Camelot, was intended as a valentine to veterans of complex games like Civilization and Starcraft. He's published five games and racked up 11 million players who average more than three hours of play per session. Kabam's latest investment round raised $85 million from Google Ventures and other backers, validating what Chou has known for some time now: He's on to something big. |
