Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

One of the US branches of Star Entertainment is even located in New York State.

They pay tens of millions of dollars in taxes every year.

What if I accidentally drive away such a wealthy person in a moment of impulsiveness? Who will give him the tens of millions of dollars in tax revenue?

Can he have 100,000 people?

Hmm... it's hard to say, but it's probably very difficult.

He just wanted votes, but votes aren't really worth money.

Therefore, the choice is self-evident.

Even a fool knows which choice to make.

Moreover, Star Entertainment not only provides New York State with a significant amount of tax revenue, but it also provides the state with numerous jobs, exceeding two thousand.

There are jobs available in everything from odd jobs to high-tech fields. Plus, the star power of this company has attracted other game companies that originally only wanted to locate in California. But since Yuxing Electronic Entertainment opened a new branch in New York State, other game companies have started flocking there too. If Yuxing Electronic Entertainment were to be driven away because of a single game, causing thousands of people to lose their jobs, he wouldn't be able to hold the governorship this year, or even in the future!

“Peter, I have to give you some advice. This company, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, has a lot of influence. There’s no need to cause trouble for them. By the way, why do you want to cause trouble for this company?”

Peter said grimly, "I'm not looking for trouble, I just can't stand this company's latest game. It's completely wrong!"

Is that completely incorrect?

Blake understood immediately.

Peter knew the style of the liberal organization he belonged to quite well.

A group of so-called free spirits and so-called correct people who are entangled together.

They may seem to have a large number of people, but in reality, they don't have much of an effect.

"In short, I still advise you not to go looking for trouble with Youxing Electronic Entertainment, as they still have a lot of influence."

"Big? Is it bigger than my area in New York State? I have 100,000 votes!"

At this moment, Blake really wants to say, "Are 100,000 votes really that impressive?"

Yes, that's really impressive; he's very eager to have that vote.

But so what?

These things cannot be directly exchanged for real money.

Chapter 832 Self-Inflicted Slap

832

Blake ultimately refused Peter's request.

Even Peter's promise to lobby for more votes for Blake was useless.

Blake is very good at distinguishing between what is important and what is not.

For Peter, these were just some random reasons, and he simply wanted to feel a sense of belonging.

However, he clearly did not yet understand how tough Yuxing Electronic Entertainment was on people like him.

Moreover, he didn't seem to realize the extent of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's influence.

Before this, he didn't even know much about video games, only that there was a game company called Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

Blake made a final appointment with Peter to play golf sometime, to make sure Peter wouldn't easily switch to a competitor because of his rejection.

But Peter still went to find Blake's rival.

Since Blake is unwilling to do it, I can still use my votes as leverage to increase the visibility of my organization.

At this moment, he also vaguely realized that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment was not a company to be trifled with.

So the more a company is like that, the more seriously he feels it should be treated.

Taking down a company like that would greatly increase the organization's visibility.

Back then, countless small and medium-sized film and television companies and various cultural companies compromised under pressure, which allowed them to make a good impression and gain recognition for their organization's value, making more people willing to join them for mutual support.

Now he plans to do it all over again.

However, Blake's competitors were equally enthusiastic at first.

However, he immediately refused when he heard that the target was Yusei Electronic Entertainment, which was even more decisive than Black's.

Blake at least considered Peter's feelings, but Blake's rival was not so considerate.

This made Peter even angrier.

But what followed was even more infuriating.

His article, which he had just published, was locked by Facebook within half a day, preventing users from seeing it.

The reason is that this article is controversial and has caused unnecessary arguments.

Of course, this was not due to the influence of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment on Facebook, but simply because the article was discovered by a group of players shortly after it was published, and then tens of thousands of messages of insults and disputes were posted, almost completely belittling Peter's article.

"Where did you come from? You know absolutely nothing about video games!"

"It's just a video game. We just want to relax and also pursue a little bit of realism. Which eye of yours saw us playing this game and liking to kill people on the street?"

"What a coincidence! I do enjoy killing people on the streets in games, but in real life I'm a judge. Do you think I would do those things in real life?"

"I think you have some kind of paranoid mental illness. I advise you to see a doctor. Oh, and by the way, it's best not to use medical insurance for reimbursement, otherwise it will be too embarrassing to make it public."

Today, the player base has grown increasingly large.

Some of them are veteran gamers who have been playing games for over a decade, while others are newcomers to video games.

But regardless of whether they are new or old players, they all share a common characteristic: they are very enthusiastic about video games.

If what you say makes sense, then they won't say anything more.

However, it is absurd to say that a game will lead to crimes simply because it contains some violence.

Among these people were some very knowledgeable individuals who wrote down thousands of words of rebuttal arguments, linking crime rates and other heinous incidents that have occurred since the advent of video games, and concluding that crime rates have indeed declined sharply since the emergence of video games.

Because some restless people have become so engrossed in the fascinating world of video games.

In games you can do whatever you want without worrying about breaking the law and going to jail, so why do those boring things in real life?

This may not truly stop those antisocial individuals, but those who were just causing trouble out of boredom will eventually run out of energy to do such things.

Moreover, this kind of thing doesn't only happen in the United States.

In Britain, there is a very popular group of football hooligans.

They used to frequently cause trouble and fight, making them a destabilizing factor in society.

However, after video games became popular in Europe and America, at least half of these people started playing video games.

You get angry watching your favorite team lose in a serious football match.

However, once you enter the game world, you can reclaim your honor in your own way.

See? Under my leadership, the football team is so great. They're in such a good mood that they're naturally not interested in fighting anymore, and the security situation has improved significantly.

These messages are now inaccessible to outsiders; only Peter can see them.

Looking at his locked article and the thousands of comments of all kinds, his good mood plummeted to rock bottom.

Originally, he simply wanted to gain some recognition by criticizing the game.

He's gained some recognition now, but it's all negative feedback.

He even spotted dozens of users among these thousands who had been following him, and these people seemed to be members of his organization.

However, when they attacked Yusei Electronic Entertainment, they immediately turned against them and gave them a severe dressing down. They also said they had decided to leave the organization immediately, feeling that it was meaningless for daring to attack their favorite video game. They felt that the organization had no taste at all, as it was impossible for them not to like such an excellent video game.

Upon seeing this, Peter nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

But all of this was just a small interlude.

This didn't even reach Zhu Youxing's ears.

There are too many people like this; paying attention to them every day is just a waste of your time.

Just slap them in the face with your work.

He once silenced these guys with games like Bayonetta and NieR: Automata.

Just keep doing this for now; you can earn money and reputation at the same time.

There are too many people in this world who say one thing but mean another.

He says he's doing this for the right thing, but deep down he still prefers handsome men and beautiful women. If he were to listen to these guys and make a bunch of ugly characters the main characters of the game, Zhu Youxing wouldn't be able to get past that hurdle in his heart.

Compared to such trivial matters, Zhu Youxing had something entirely new that he cared about more at this moment, or rather, a completely new technology.

VR.

After years of technological accumulation, it seems that VR technology, which belongs to this world, has finally been born, and relevant companies have begun to vigorously promote and develop this product.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Youxing's interest was clearly greatly piqued.

Chapter 833 VR

833

Virtual reality technology, also known as VR technology.

The main purpose is to use the most intuitive visual effects to mislead people into thinking they have entered a world completely different from their current environment.

Using this technology usually requires wearing a special pair of glasses.

The development of VR technology in this world is actually considered relatively slow.

Given that this world's technology is ten years ahead of the rest of the world, the relevant technology should have appeared around 2004.

Zhu Youxing looked at the latest news about VR and discovered that it was a newly established company.

The company's founder is a university laboratory professor who used to be in charge of the latest technologies.

When he saw the potential of VR, he decisively chose to resign and then quickly developed a new commercial VR system with his knowledge. Now, a prototype has already appeared. He didn't even have the patience to wait until the Consumer Electronics Show the following year to announce his product. He obviously wanted to make a name for himself first.

"Zhuyou, the development of our Switch is nearing completion. We've confirmed it will be released next year, and we should be able to start mass production now!"
