I have also been a senior patient with NIH syndrome.
Once, I would often refuse to use a product because the concept of the product is not original, the gameplay is not original, and the melody of a piece of music is not original.
I do n’t play lol because I think it plagiarized Dota; I hate Xaar because he has too much shadow of Pokemon; I do n’t like Xu Song because I think he is imitating Jay Chou ...
However, really fragrant.
Later, I still inevitably came into contact with all the things that I felt "plagiarized". Because they are very hot, if you want to socialize with your peers, it can be said to be necessary to contact these.
In addition, I started as a senior CF player in elementary school, and suddenly discovered that such a fun game is exactly the same as CS1.6. My proud values slowly collapsed.
why? A plagiarized work, actually ... actually so fun!
Now go back and look at these products with product thinking:
LOL greatly reduces the difficulty of Dota's operation, innovates the art style, and enhances the viewing. In contrast, LOL is undoubtedly more suitable for this fast-paced, traffic-oriented era-let alone, without lol, China's e-sports popularity may not know how much it will shrink.
I remember one time I participated in an event, it required everyone to be divided into teams and then complete the project. At that time, there was a person in our group. He thought that we needed to figure out how the other groups did it, and then take its essence and discard its dross to do our project.
The final result was that we were disqualified due to foul play.
Although this matter has created a paragraph, it is undeniable that after referring to the ideas of others, our ideas are the most perfect. Because everyone has a high flame when collecting firewood, and others have finished the hard work of collecting firewood, we can come over and roast the fire directly, which saves a lot of effort. You can directly check for missing vacancies.
Human thinking is limited, and energy is limited. Since others have already helped you find out a part, why build wheels again?
What's more, adopting other people's concepts does not mean complete laziness.
The ideas you can see are only a small part of other people's ideas. You still need a lot of ideas to supplement this small part to get a complete plan.
Jobs also said that poor artists copied everything, and great artists steal inspiration.
The same point has been made in Social Network: You have an idea. After I heard it, I got a better idea. The person who makes a good chair does not owe a penny to the person who invented the chair. (Of course, I do n’t know whether the director ’s attitude is supported or not, but I think it makes sense.)
In general, the purpose of the product is to create user value. If Dota or Half-Life's gameplay is legally locked, then there will not be so many excellent games born today.
