Chapter 883 The Internet teaches how to be a man
883
This is not the first time that Zhu Youxing has provoked these people directly.
Every time he directly ignores the protests of these people, even if these people are standing in front of their branch of the US company at this moment, it will not make the people of Youxing Electronic Entertainment shake in the game development.
Youxing Electronic Entertainment's announcement is still going on.
From the remake of Final Fantasy 7, to various games such as Tsushima Island and Sekiro, and then dead or alive beach volleyball.
And among those games, Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball is consistently the most viewed announcement video per release.
Many of them are not gamers, and more of them are outsiders who are attracted by the female characters in the game.
They are more of a spectator mentality.
But then they realized that the game looked pretty good.
At least at the moment when more and more ugly characters are born, it is a breath of fresh air to have such a unique game.
And Myron Keith did not expect that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment would get extra attention in such an unexpected way.
People who didn't play games before are starting to be interested in this thing.
Myron Keith also wanted to learn from Youxing Electronic Entertainment, and launched a similar game.
However, as soon as he proposed this idea, it was directly stifled by the protests of the shareholders and some employees in the company.
To put it simply, the shareholder layer also has to face, they are not really in the United States like Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.
In addition to the investment of Mickford, they have other investment industries.
And Mickford is not very good at video games, and he insisted on forcibly entering it to get a share of it, because he wanted to hold on to the current basic market.
But it is not really necessary to use this kind of extreme method in order to keep the basic market. They think there are other more suitable ways to solve the current situation of poor sales of Mickford products.
Go and develop this politically incorrect game together. Isn’t that waiting to be sprayed to death by the American people?
It doesn’t matter if Youxing Electronic Entertainment is being criticized. People’s hometown is in Japan. The big deal is that they will stop playing in the United States if they are really in a hurry.
Hey? Wait, are you forced to stop playing in the United States?
Myron Keyes seems to have suddenly grasped the point.
Now Youxing Electronic Entertainment is standing on the cusp of public opinion.
So many people now really want to see Youxing Electronic Entertainment fall from the altar.
Isn't now a great opportunity?
Then you can also contribute to the flames?
"President, the U.S. Congress has decided to temporarily put our game on the banned list! I'm afraid we did go a little too far this time." The director of marketing and publicity, Natsume Yasulong, personally held a copy of the U.S. economic newspaper. Come to Zhu Youxing's office and tell Zhu Youxing the news from the United States.
About a month after the announcement of Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball, the public opinion in the US market seems to be fermenting more and more intensely.
Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball seems to have a tendency to become a scourge.
The U.S. Congress does not dare to ignore the opinions of enough people. After all, no one can say that they will need votes from the people in the future. Now that they offend the loudest people, do they want votes?
And there is a rule in the United States that once a certain number of people jointly submit a joint letter, they must respond.
But this time the game Dead or Alive has reached this threshold, and the number of joint letters submitted to boycott the game Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball has reached 150,000. Belittle this behavior.
And it just so happens that the United States is very happy to see Youxing Electronic Entertainment suffer.
Because Japan’s video game business is getting what it wants in the United States and making a lot of money, this is not a good sign.
So for whatever reason, they decided to start getting involved.
Natsume Yasulong put the latest U.S. economic newspaper on Takeyusei’s desk, and he took it over to take a closer look. At this moment, it was announcing the resolution from the U.S. Congress on a full page.
This is the first time that the U.S. Congress has officially banned a game from overseas.
Zhu Youxing was a little unexpected.
In the original world, death or life does not have this level of treatment.
No matter how hard the United States is, there are actually not many restrictions on cultural and entertainment products. Any kind of cultural and entertainment products can be released in the United States, and there are few restrictions.
This time, I didn't expect that this game, which didn't cause any waves in the original world, would cause quite a shock in this world.
"Zhuyou, we must find a way to fight back. We must not let those people stand on the high ground of public opinion, otherwise our future games may suffer such backlash again."
Natsume Yasulong said with a solemn expression.
"Yes." Zhu Youxing continued to read the newspaper while nodding his head.
"Director Songqiao has already contacted his contacts in the United States, and they are also helping us actively lobby."
"Then what did they say?" Zhu Youxing asked.
"They all said that this matter is not very optimistic. The time for the launch of this game is very inappropriate. It happens to be the time when the human rights movement is most active. Launching such a game at this time is tantamount to riding on their faces." Natsume Yasulong said in a heavy tone, "However, there is some good news, that is, the U.S. Congress only decided to put the game Dead or Alive on the sales ban list, and other games have not been affected."
In the United States, Youxing Electronic Entertainment is not a rootless duckweed now, whether it is the tax revenue brought by the branch to some places, the employment rate brought to the local area, or the business partnership that has always been good before, even Even Congress must also take into account the mood of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
You can't really push people into a hurry.
So since the most protested by those people is only a dead or alive game, then only this game should be banned.
Other games are selling well.
Unless Youxing Electronic Entertainment intends to modify some of the gameplay of the game Dead or Alive and the content that is too so-called objectification of women, it may be difficult for this game to be registered in the US market.
Zhu Youxing smiled: "It's not bad, it's not too bad."
"Zhuyou, our reputation has also been greatly affected this time. Compared with the ban of a game, our reputation is obviously more important. If we can have a game banned in the future, then someone will definitely follow suit in the future, and then Get our second, third game banned."
"It is possible, but you may have forgotten one thing."
"One thing? What?"
"That means you still seem to underestimate the power of the Internet."
"What's the meaning?"
“Do you really think that if a cultural work is banned on the surface, it can really prevent people from buying it?”
Natsume Yasulong was slightly dazed.
Zhuyouxing, who has experienced two Internet explosions, has a deeper understanding of the Internet.
In the Internet age, some things can’t be banned just because they are banned.
Whether it is the US Congress or those politically correct guys, they underestimate the Internet too much.
Then let the internet teach them how to be human.
