《WhatsApp and its USD0.99》
by Roy Kwong Translated by Selina Kinyee Chau
The WhatsApp software developer has informed its users to the app to be payable, triggering a fight between iPhone users and android users because iPhone users only pay USD0.99 once to enjoy life-long service but android users need to pay the same price every year.
Android users complain, “Why iPhone users only need to pay once but we need to pay every year?” iPhone users retort, “You didn’t say anything when we were being charged at the beginning. And now you are complaining.” So the two parties are stuck at whether the charge is unfair to Android users.
After the Two Ticks and Last seen on (Please refer to the previous article of the same writer), the WhatsApp started a fight again because of this USD0.99 issue. From between lovers to friends, now it has even extended to the whole user group of the two giant software developers. It should be named the Most Evil App of the Century.
The inconsistency of charging is of course WhatsApp’s fault. However, for those who can afford a smart phone that cost thousands dollars will be able to afford USD0.99 which is only the price of a can of coke, won’t they?
Some student users may complain, “I don’t have a credit card, I’m not able to pay at the App Store, WhatsApp are not considerate of us.” It is reasonable for users under 18 to complain if they don’t have a credit card. But if the charge is a disaster of WhatsApp, isn’t it just time for people to show their kindness? Friends who have a credit card can rescue others at this time, “I have a credit card. Let me pay it for you.”
Friends without a credit card will appreciate what you have done for them, although it is WhatsApp’s fault of the forbiddance of sending messages before the expiry date, reactivating the function for your friends by buying them a can of coke is meaningful, isn’t it? The USD0.99 of WhatsApp has created a chance to show your care to your friends, how nice as a social networking app!
Recall those days when we were still texting, it was actually not financial friendly at all. For the sake of keeping in touch with our friends, we were compelled to use the same service provider as theirs even its service was the worst in the world and we had to survived three times every day from losing connection just because to keep the text messages free of charge.
Still, the Two Ticks and Last seen on functions have created a lot of problem. But the invention of WhatsApp allows us to send messages for free, save us from paying for every text messages. It deserves to be granted a credit. And the simplified process by just clicking a few buttons to send pictures, videos and audios when we could only do so via email in the past. What’s more, WhatsApp had actually stated in the Terms and Conditions that charge may be applied after the first year.
So there have been so many complaints about WhatsApp being unfairness and has been given the name “a broken app” when it announced to charge? No one ever said something like that before the charging. After the charge applied, negative comments has swept over the Internet. Some suggested to use another communication app, Line, which is free of charge, and WhatsApp has become the public enemy. Despite the inconsistent charge, what’s wrong for WhatsApp to charge for using the app?
Have we become too comfortable enjoying free lunch without notice?
I still remember how hard I tried to save to buy a CD home and listened to it again and again when I was a kid. I had never been tired of it because it wasn’t easy. When there was a movie I liked, I saved hard to go to the cinema for it. If I didn’t have enough money, I bought the VCD when it was released. But VCDs were only available for movies not for TV shows. I had to start sitting in front of the TV before the show I liked started so that I wouldn’t miss any parts. And recorders became my good friend too. I really cherished the only-180-minute memory of every tape.
After I grew up, thanks to the advanced technology becomes able to store everything, the TV, computer, CD player, VCD player, game station and recorders, into ONE smart phone, only without the air conditioner. Want to listen to a song? Go to Youtube; want a movie? PPS, internet TV! A TV show? There are also apps you can watch live TV or play back. Want some games? From Angry Bird to Candy Crush, there are thousands of choices waiting for you.
However, The advance of technology has devalue our attitude towards making efforts. Because everything has become easy to get nowadays.
Have you noticed the songs nowadays are not as good as those in the past? That could be the problem of quality itself but more likely, it is because we have too many options. Now we just need to click a few buttons, thousands of search results will come out and we can listen to them right after. We are spoiled to be greedy unconditionally. We didn’t realize how long we hadn’t paid for a CD until the news of HMV’s bankruptcy spread out.
In the past we had to sit still and paid 100% attention to the movie to enjoy it, now we can just watch it from a few-inch-wide screen on a train. But the price is we keep being interrupted by the surrounding noise and people. When the character is saying something moving, we would just realize we’ve missed the stop and have to rush to get off. It may be free to watch a movie like this but I prefer paying to buy a ticket to go to the cinema.
We don’t need to worry about missing the best part of a TV show because our friends always share them on Facebook. We don’t need to watch every scene but you know what is going on in every story. But why is there still something missing? It turns out that we only keep the concentrated part of everything while the every well panned detail has been wasted. We don’t spend time building a connection with the characters in the story. However, if we don’t even spend time watching the the TV show by ourself, how can we feel the same way as the characters do, like we did in the past?
You don’t feel the pain losing something if you have never made any effort. It is just like we keep those old comics that we spent all our pocket money on even they are old and worn , but we are able to uninstall an app on our phone without a thought. Well, just take a couple seconds to download and we will own it again anytime.
While we are expecting making no effort, we are also destroying creativity. Creators lack of motivation. Creativity is worth nothing nowadays. People will search for replacement when one creativity starts to charge. This is not just about the USD0.99 of WhatsApp, it’s about our value on Give and Take.
Technology has changed our life, but we should never let it change our values.
We avoid Giving. But giving is vital for us to learn to cherish. Sometimes we get back more by giving than not giving, not just about money but also about love. Think about it, if we get what we want easily without paying any effort, comparing with that you devote yourself to a relationship while the other devotes to the relationship as much as you. Then none of you will give up on the relationship easily.
If you think WhatsApp is good, it deserves the USD0.99. Although I am still annoyed by the evil functions such as the Two Ticks and Last Seen on. WeChat is free but you have to pay your liberty of speech for it. One user once tried to send the name of Southern Weekly in Chinese, the system reminded him that “The message has involved sensitive words, please try again after making modification.” What’s wrong with the name of Southern Weekly? The even more ridiculous thing is, while I am writing this article, I get the news that WeChat now has tightened up the regulation that users have to use their real name, phone number when posting on the public forum and are even required to upload the photo of them with their ID card, like you have committed some serious crime.
To avoid paying USD0.99, you need to escape to somewhere that and be monitored. One day if you really encounter some sensitive issue, you will realize not paying actually pays more than paying. I believe most of readers are willing to pay for this USD0.99. We hope WhatsApp will open up more channels for payments.
Don’t let the wheels of Time make us forget the value of giving.

這次要來跟 @旅行YJ @諾斯Nox @後撤步 一起來玩密室逃脫桌遊《大搜查》! 真的是被這個遊戲搞到腦細胞死一堆啦!
以下介紹來自https://kknews.cc/zh-tw/news/oane6rp.html
謎題,從人類文明誕生之際開始一直延續至今。比如經典的斯芬克斯之謎:「什麼動物早晨用四條腿走路,中午用兩條腿走路,晚上用三條腿走路?腿最多的時候,也正是他走路最慢,體力最弱的時候。」從公元前400年左右被創作出來至今依然為人們所津津樂道。而到了21世紀,這個人類最為傳統的興趣愛好也與時俱進的以遊戲的姿態再次出現在我們的眼前。在當代,解謎遊戲一直是遊戲中的一個重要分類。從網際網路萌芽時代的《逃離紅色房間》,到剛推出不久的《銹湖》系列遊戲,雖然表現的形式稍有改變,但一直占有自己的角落,靜靜的發出璀璨的光輝。
在桌遊的世界當然也不會缺少解謎遊戲的身影。比如最近在摩點大熱並籌得了超過兩千萬人民幣的話題作品《迷宮·如意琳琅圖籍》就是一個圖書的形式將謎題呈獻到玩家眼前的桌遊。不過他並不是今天筆者要介紹的遊戲(畢竟還沒正式發貨並沒有辦法介紹)。今天真正要介紹的桌遊是另一個頗受推崇的解謎遊戲,也就是近期剛剛推出中文版的《大搜查(Unlock)》
《大搜查》是一個推出於2017年的系列作品,遊戲由一系列的卡牌組成。玩家在遊戲中的最終目標是在一個小時的時間內得出一個四位數的密碼逃離「密室」。在不同的劇本中密室所代表的意義也有所不同可能是個封閉住的房間也可能是一個荒島。這根據劇本的不同而不同——每一個劇本都是一個獨立的小故事。目前推出了中文版的是大搜查的第一季。打開遊戲外盒就可以看到作為劇本象徵的整整齊齊的三刀牌,但這其實還並不全部的遊戲配件。
《大搜查》在實際的遊戲進行中,除了需要這些卡牌之外,還有一個不在遊戲盒子中,但地位舉足輕重的額外配件,也就是APP,大搜查的遊戲無法脫離這個APP來完成。APP在這個遊戲中扮演的角色遠遠大於一個單純的計時器,他除了用於記錄一個小時的時間經過了多少之外,還負責驗證密碼正確與否,機關的破解方法是否正確,玩家錯誤嘗試扣除時間以及玩家提示。
這個提醒的作用要比想像中大很多,解謎遊戲中出現卡關再正常不過了,如果只是需要時間還好,但很多時候玩家卡關的原因是與設計師的腦迴路對不上,或者說沒有理解到設計師的用意,因為這種原因而造成的卡關往往無法通過時間來解決。比如《時間守望》基礎劇本的最終謎題筆者就因為這層原因卡了一個多小時,如果不是看了網上大神的攻略恐怕就要強行開門了。但在《大搜查》遊戲中,因為有了這個提示功能,雖然失去了些許懸念,但至少遊戲能順利的進行下去。
遊戲規則
遊戲中的主要卡牌分為四類:地點,物品,機關,密碼。
地點即是遊戲中的我們所處在的密室,在遊戲中起始卡背面必然是地點卡,地點卡上會有許多數字和字母代表著在遊戲中我們可以調查的事物(當然有些會隱藏起來,如果不仔細觀察是找不到的)。物品卡就很直接的是遊戲中我們獲得的物品了。物品的頂端通常會分為紅藍兩種,如果你覺得兩件物品組合在一起可能會發生奇妙的效果時,可以將這兩張卡的編號相加並打開對應的卡牌。機關卡意味著一個機關,我們需要在APP中輸入對應的號碼來開始挑戰機關,機關的正確解法可能就在機關自身之中,但也可能是需要在其他卡牌上尋找線索。密碼卡的意義就簡單了,它代表了這個地方有一道鎖,當玩家獲得了正確的密碼之後輸入APP,就會得到相對應的內容,如果這就是最終要打開的門的話,玩家也就通關了,遊戲會根據玩家在遊戲中的表現(耗時,錯誤嘗試,尋求提示次數等)給玩家得出一個最終得分,當然對於筆者這樣的體驗向玩家來說,只要能通關就好了(笑)
遊戲劇本
遊戲的第一季里包含了四個劇本,一個教學劇本和三個正式劇本。教學劇本由十張卡組成,但包含了正式遊戲中的所有內容,它會手把手帶著玩家了解這個遊戲如何進行,實際上可以起到一個代替說明書的作用——當然正式的說明書還是存在的。
遊戲的其他三個劇本就是正式的遊戲內容了,他們分別出自三個作者之手,每個作品的風格各不相同,劇情上也沒有什麼連貫性,應該算是獨立的。因為作者不同的原因,謎題的傾向也有所不同,比如第二個劇本「香腸鼠俠」就和其他兩個劇本迥然不同,不僅畫風無厘頭,很多謎題也十分的無厘頭。不過為了保證玩家的體驗我就不多講了,此間真意就留給玩家朋友們自己去體會吧。
作為一款A社漢化的劇本類遊戲,就不得不順便聊一聊它的翻譯,畢竟A社再翻譯上有著很多不光彩的過去。不過這次A社的翻譯還是做的不錯的,至少在筆者遊玩的時候並沒有遇到什麼嚴重影響遊戲進行的BUG,大家可以安心購買。不過倒是有一個非翻譯問題帶來的BUG嚴重影響了遊戲。那就是教學任務中的67指的實際上是69,這個問題是英文一版就有的,並且在二版進行了糾正。而A社在推出中文版時是根據英文一版來的,這個錯誤並沒有糾正,而是完美的繼承了下來,讓大家可以體驗「原汁原味的錯誤冒險」。大家在進行遊戲的時候千萬要多留意一下。
小結
《大搜查》是我目前玩過的最好的劇情向遊戲之一,他在遊戲體驗上十分靠近電子遊戲的解謎遊戲和真人的密室逃脫。和電腦上的解謎遊戲相比在一些設定上還是有不同的,比如隱藏數字。在卡片上沒找到就是沒找到,可不存在靠亂點矇混過關的可能性哦(笑)。另一個不同在於可以和小夥伴們互動,小夥伴們群策群力逃出生天的感覺是電子遊戲里無法獲得的。
而且在《大搜查》的後期一些劇本中甚至還會出現一些需要兩組人通力合作才能完成的謎題,實際上已經超過了電子遊戲的能力範圍里,充分發揮了桌遊的優勢(雖然這個劇本真的很難)。而相比與真人的密室逃脫相比,《大搜查》的最大特點就在於體量,遊戲的本體只是一刀牌,攜帶方便,開局也方便。不過這三類遊戲體驗各不相同,難分伯仲,各種取捨還是要看玩家自己的傾向了。
《大搜查》比較創新的採用了APP來輔助遊戲,這個模式曾經很少見,但隨著時代的發展也漸漸變的多了起來,比如《瘋狂詭宅》第二版就也採用了APP輔助遊戲的這個模式。不過實際上最初看到這個模式筆者是不太喜歡的,畢竟桌遊的一大特點在於可以不插電的進行遊玩,用插電的設備來輔助本應不插電的桌遊讓人不由得覺得有些失去本心。但是實際體驗下來,APP的表現確實非常好,讓筆者不由得說一句真香。APP的加入能提供很多一般桌遊配件很難給予玩家的東西,比如時限步步逼近的緊張感,比如說用聲畫和遊戲的配合,不採用這種模式的話是絕難做到的。另一方面還可以封印一個玩家的手機讓他專心投入到桌遊當中,更是妙不可言(笑)。
《大搜查》的外文版目前總共推出了五個季度十五個劇本,這對於一個2017年推出的遊戲來說算是比較誇張了,不過作為一個以劇情為賣點的遊戲,擴展多意味著玩家可以體驗到的內容多,實際上也是一件好事。雖然目前中文只推出了第一季度的中文版,但是開坑的畢竟是A社,至少應該不會出現挖坑不填的現象。如果你是一個密室愛好者,又或者是一個愛好思考愛好解謎的玩家,這都是極為合適的遊戲,不妨趕快去入手吧。
