Journey is an online game developed and distributed by Giant Network. Since its launch in 2006, it has achieved great success with its unique game model and business model. Although the picture of the game is not outstanding, it is good in playability and has some innovations.

On the positive side, the game designer of Journey has successfully excavated the weakness of human nature to the extreme, making the game as cruel as reality. The pioneer of this free business model incited the industry structure by himself, promoted the IPO of Giant Network in the United States with a game, and became the largest private enterprise listed on the New York Stock Exchange at that time, subverting the cognition of the game ceiling inside and outside the industry.

However, from another perspective, there are also some problems in the journey. For example, the game has too many functions and pursues profits excessively. In addition, the marketing strategy of this game has also caused some controversy, because its success depends largely on the idea of free marketing.

Generally speaking, Journey is a successful game, with a unique strategic vision and a deep understanding of the most expensive free marketing concept. However, it also has some problems, such as excessive pursuit of profits and excessive functions. How to look at this game depends on which angle the player looks at it.
