Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

Only a minority of people can participate in the Olympics, and not many can follow the Olympics throughout the entire event. Most people will still go about their lives as usual. However, it would be quite nice to earn some extra money by taking advantage of the popularity of the Olympics.

Just then, Youxing Electronic Entertainment also took on a big project at the beginning of the year: to create an Olympic Games game for the Brazilian government.

It doesn't need to be of high quality; it just needs to be something that video game players would find interesting about the Olympics.

Anyway, this was funded by the government, so it was no problem for Youxing Electronic Entertainment. They easily got it done in a few months and then handed it in.

Chapter 976 Moral Views

"President, these are the recent criticisms and accusations we've received from the public. They say our GTA series is very controversial and excessively promotes crime and bad behavior. Shouldn't we do something, like fight back against these people?"

"Ignore them. They can curse all they want, but they can't do anything else besides cursing."

While the assistant was reporting on the company's recent developments and public opinion, Zhu Youxing was signing various documents related to the Youxing Paradise project.

Although it's an amusement park, there are some things that need to be handled by Zhu Youxing because of his special instructions.

Zhu Youxing is most concerned about this recently, and he hopes that the entire park will be as perfect as possible when it opens.

In the original world, video game theme parks have never been built independently; at most, they are like Universal Studios, where an attached Nintendo theme park is built.

So I've created a new history, and I have to put my heart and soul into making this new history.

As for those idle, buzzing fellows, Zhu Youxing no longer wanted to bother with them.

If I were to deal with these people again, I'd be busy enough dealing with them all.

He has so much work to finish, how can he have time to deal with them?

Moreover, these people really have no influence on Youxing Electronic Entertainment except for cursing.

This is the terrifying influence gained from over twenty years of producing high-quality games. How could it be easily affected by these guys?

At least for now, players won't be affected by these people at all.

Players will still buy it.

In that case, arguing with such a person would be beneath my dignity.

However, Zhu Youxing remembered something and looked up to say, "Oh right, we don't need to pay attention to these kinds of people, but we still need to seriously carry out the game version adjustment work for different countries. It will be easier to get things done in the future if we can get along well with the government."

"I understand, President. Don't worry about that. Our people have never had any problems in this regard."

Those buzzing mosquitoes have no real rights, so all they can do is make a racket.

However, the difference lies in national power.

They are truly influential figures, and by cultivating good relationships with state power, they can make their lives easier.

The GTA series involves quite a few sensitive topics.

Releasing the game in some regions, such as the United States, is not a problem. However, in countries like the Arab world or Germany, which have strict restrictions on bloody crime culture, special adjustments and modifications to the game are required.

Europe, in particular, has become one of the most important markets for Star Electronic Entertainment.

"Well, there's one more thing, which is to add some disclaimers at the beginning of the game."

"Disclaimer?"

"As I mentioned before, the game's development team is comprised of people with different beliefs and viewpoints. Also, some gamers may have photosensitive epilepsy, who are very sensitive to certain light sources. It's important to remind these individuals that if they experience palpitations or discomfort while playing the game, they can choose to continue playing or give up."

"Is this... necessary?" the assistant asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Of course it's necessary. It's a way to reduce trouble for myself, especially with that photosensitive warning sign."

In Zhu Youxing's memory, similar things had happened in the video game and animation special effects industries before.

A game developer or animation effects maker creates a work that has a very strong visual impact.

This visual stimulus is mainly manifested in the abnormality of the light source, which is very different from the logic of light in the general understanding. This will directly lead to some people having very serious physiological reactions to these light sources that are very abnormal to nature.

If such a person comes into contact with this abnormal light source, it could potentially lead to death.

Although playing games is a player's freedom, even if these people are in real danger because of playing games, the game company cannot be held responsible. Moreover, if it involves a cross-regional issue, it is even more difficult for such an incident to affect the game or animation effects production team.

However, from a purely empathetic standpoint, Zhu Youxing also doesn't want anyone to encounter any life-threatening situations while playing his game.

His wish is to bring joy and beauty to the world, not to bring it bad things.

"Okay, I will explain to each member of the development team."

Assistant Shasha was taking notes in her notebook.

These were all insignificant little things, but Zhu Youxing still kept them deeply in his mind.

This is also a profound lesson from the original world. Unlike the technical difficulties of game development, it is a kind of human morality.

"Okay, then you can go now. I have things to do."

After Zhu Youxing finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to study every detail about the opening of the park.

First, he knew that there would definitely be government officials among the invitees. Zhu Youxing did a simple screening to make sure that there wouldn't be any controversial people among them. Then he went on to check the program that would be held at the opening ceremony.

Since it's a Mario-themed park, all Mario-related elements must be included.

Zhu Youxing needs to carefully consider how to maximize this.

Zhu Youxing and his team spent over a year meticulously researching the arrangements for this program.

All in order to bring players a truly amazing experience.

Everything is for the players.

This is the core of the entire opening ceremony.

Next came the matter of who would be attending.

There are certainly quite a few players who want to attend the opening ceremony.

However, there are still limits to the size of the park.

It's estimated that it can only accommodate around 100,000 people at most.

However, if the entire park experience is to be of a good standard, it can only accommodate a maximum of 50,000 visitors at a time.

This is considered the minimum requirement.

So, deciding which players can participate in the opening ceremony is a matter of debate.

Finally, after discussion among everyone, a portion of the candidates will be selected from loyal players of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, approximately one thousand people.

These 1,000 people first need to have enough games, and then at the same time, they also need to have enough game achievements and trophies.

This means that the player is indeed playing the game seriously and attentively.

The requirements for this trophy are not strict. Any player who has seriously played the game and has been playing it for decades can meet the criteria.

These thousand players are the core group, so it's only natural to give them some privileges.

The remaining player selections were then all submitted to the official website of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

The website periodically announces some players through a lottery system.

This is arguably the most reasonable approach that can be considered.

Of course, these tickets are free. Youxing Electronic Entertainment doesn't care about the tickets for the opening ceremony; what's important is to give players the ultimate gaming experience.

Chapter 977 Closing Ceremony

977

At the same time, the Rio Olympics were still in full swing, but Zhu Youxing wasn't in the mood to pay much attention to that grand event. Right now, all he could think about was his Youxing Paradise.

Oh, and there's also the filming content that was agreed upon with the Prime Minister.

The content being filmed was for the purpose of promoting Japan and video games.

This is now one of Japan's national treasures, and it must be given special attention and promotion.

Since the rise of video games, they have brought considerable economic boost to Japan.

The extent of this increase surprised even the Japanese Prime Minister, who willingly became one of the ambassadors for video games.

Of course, given his position, he couldn't just promote video games; he also had other things like movies and animation to promote as well.

However, the trailer for the 2016 Tokyo Olympics still focused primarily on video games.

To this end, Yusei Electronics Entertainment collaborated with the Japanese Prime Minister to film a promotional video at Yusei Theme Park. The video was finally completed before the end of the Rio Olympics and handed over to the Japanese government. All that remains is to wait for the day when it will bear fruit.

On the day of the closing ceremony of the Rio Olympics, most people around the world were still immersed in the joyful atmosphere brought by the sporting event.

Most people still prefer this kind of cheerful, uplifting, and peaceful game.

Video gamers also have a similar grand event held every year: the Yusei World Cup by Yusei Electronics Entertainment.

This World Cup covers a wide range of games, and any video game player can find their favorite esports title and their favorite esports player in this World Cup program.

That evening, the closing ceremony of the Rio Olympics finally began amidst everyone's reluctant farewell gaze.

This signifies the temporary halt of a major sporting event.

In the stands, a man in his thirties stretched and let out a long sigh, saying, "Phew, it's finally over. It's only once every four years, and I really haven't had enough. I wish the Olympics could be held every two years."

Upon hearing this, the person next to him immediately exclaimed, "Two years? Please spare me! My wife has already been very kind of her by letting you come to this Olympics. If the Olympics were held every two years, she would definitely be furious with me!"

Judging from their conversation, the two seem to be acquainted or friends.

"I was just saying, by the way, where will the next Olympics be held?"

"It looks like Tokyo, Japan."

"Huh? It's that country? I remember that country isn't very big in Asia. I wonder if it's very crowded there?"

"I don't know about that. Let's go check it out next time. Anyway, this Olympics is over. After watching the opening ceremony, let's all go home and reunite in four years."

"Hey, don't rush me. I suddenly remembered that video games were invented by the Japanese, right? And that place has the world's best game company. So, how about we go to the game company's event and take some pictures or something?"

"Hmm? Now that you mention it... I'm starting to get interested."

As the two chatted, the closing ceremony slowly came to an end.

All the programs finally came to an end.
