Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

At this moment, such a photo is popular on the Internet in the United States.

The wife of the President of the United States at that time was concentrating on playing with something on the plane.

As long as players who are familiar with video games can recognize that thing immediately, it is the GB game handheld sold by Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

This handheld has a history of more than two years now. Thanks to its excellent game quality, durable leather, and amazing battery life, its sales have reached an astonishing 20 million units.

Among them, Tetris is the most popular game, and this game is bundled with game consoles for sale. If you strictly count sales according to sales, Tetris is now 20 million sales, the only one that can match it. It may be the Super Mario Bros. 1 bundled with FC.

Even the wife of the president can't resist the charm of the GB game console. This is the strongest publicity for game manufacturers, and you don't have to pay any advertising fees.

And below the photo, there is often a sentence attached, which is the half-joking statement of the president's wife: "I feel like I need to go to the hospital for treatment of GameBoy obsession. This thing is really fascinating."

In the governor's office of a certain state in the United States, Governor Colby is thinking hard about how to target this company from Japan.

Because this company is seriously threatening the lives of many people in the United States, this is not a good phenomenon.

However, Youxing Electronics Entertainment is currently a major taxpayer in the United States, and California, where its branch headquarters in the United States is located, is the umbrella of Youxing Electronics Entertainment.

Half a month ago, Colby held a hearing against Youxing Electronic Entertainment, intending to use his influence to curb the development of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

And among them, it is not only because of the negative impact that Youxing Electronic Entertainment itself has brought to the people of the United States, the most important reason is profit.

Everything stems from profit. The state where he is located happens to have a video game company that is emerging. Thanks to Youxing Electronic Entertainment that has not yet released its own 3D graphics game console, this company has also taken the opportunity to occupy a certain amount of 3D game market. The market can be regarded as making a lot of money.

And the taxes he paid would naturally go to Colby's credit book.

It was under the advice of the CEO of this company that he finally decided to sanction this Japanese company.

As long as Youxing Electronic Entertainment is contained, the company developed in its own state will skyrocket and occupy more markets.

But the actual effect is not satisfactory.

California has protected Youxing Electronics very well, ensuring that he will not have any unexpected situations anytime, anywhere.

In the end, he could only rely on his own influence, barely restricting the Doom Slayer, who has the greatest influence on the people of the United States.

The reason for restricting the sales of Doom is that it is too violent and will affect the healthy growth of children, because Youxing Electronic Entertainment advocates the age restriction alone, which is useless, and those children who want to buy such games can still easily buy them , with almost no obstruction.

This kind of very violent and bloody game should be controlled to a certain extent.

Then Colby suggested that the United States immediately set up a video game review committee to be responsible for rating the age group of the game, and then carry out policy suppression on major sellers.

Before the review committee is established, Doom will only be sold in a small number of regions.

That's the best Colby can do.

He also understands the protection of Youxing Electronic Entertainment by the governor of California. If such a big taxpayer comes to his own state, he will also be protected from death.

But at this moment, he seemed to have found a new attack point.

That is the photo of the president's wife playing a game console that is being circulated on the Internet.

The photos are not important, the main thing is the text accompanying the pictures.

Even the wife of the president said that she is a bit addicted and should consider going to the hospital for treatment of addiction.

And just now, a scholar from a certain university in the United States also published a paper, which described some characteristics of video game addiction in detail.

Of course, this scholar is more enthusiastic. Many theories in his thesis have no basis and are completely immature conclusions, and he has not even done a few experiments.

But this has become Colby's treasure.

Finally found a place to attack Youxing Electronic Entertainment!

Colby was excited.

Then he immediately arranged manpower to prepare the materials for attacking Youxing Electronic Entertainment, and then he was going to fight another big battle.

When the time came to the second half of 1997, another round of new hearings opened.

This time it was co-sponsored by Colby and two other states of the same party, and then several academics served as scientific advisors, and many people were identified who claimed to be affected by video game addiction.

This hearing seemed a little aggressive at the beginning. Even if California itself wants to protect Youxing Electronic Entertainment, it will inevitably appear that some people are alone.

But Youxing Electronic Entertainment is not easy to mess with.

In such an occasion as a hearing, whoever speaks the most reasonable words will be recognized.

And Zhuyouxing has never spared money in this regard.

He directly invested a lot of money, and sent out the queen's lawyer team again, and at the same time, he also brought a few top lawyers from Europe to support him.

Naturally, their expenses are not low, but they are worth the price.

The hearing lasted for a full week, and the two sides were arguing with each other. From the beginning of the video game harmful theory, to the negative impact of video games on people, Youxing Electronic Entertainment slowly changed from being passive.

Dozens of top business lawyers, plus a number of scientific thugs temporarily hired from different fields, even though Colby has a lot of seemingly "conclusive" information, Youxing Electronic Entertainment is not at all inferior.

The hearing lasted for several days, and the two sides remained deadlocked.

I have to say that sometimes money really can do whatever it wants.

Zhu Youxing spent more than ten million dollars on the fees of the lawyer team this time, but Zhu Youxing didn't care about these expenses at all.

Until half a month passed, Colby's side was already a little bit powerless, but Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's side seemed a little more than capable.

You can even join two or three top lawyers and scientists every two days, which seems to be a competition for financial resources.

Of course, in addition to the financial competition, there is also the backing of California to help withstand the pressure from the government, otherwise it will not work.

The final result ended hastily with Youxing Electronic Entertainment banning sales in some states.

This was hard for Colby to accept, but there was nothing he could do about it.
