Chapter 322 Chicken Game (4)

Suspension of virtual reality service to Japan indefinitely.

After this news was announced, people’s reactions across the Internet were shocking.

-….??? service stop?

-what. Is the Japanese government blocking it, or is Arcadia going to stop it?

-I think it’s both…?

Announcement of suspension of service simultaneously announced in the names of the Japanese government and the president of Arcadia Co., Ltd. For this reason, there was confusion for a while about who was responsible for this measure, but after understanding the situation to some extent, a tremendous backlash erupted inside Japan.

– damn it! Discontinuing virtual reality services? whoever you like!

– How can you stop the service like this? does that make sense?

-What are the Japanese government and Arcadiana thinking?

No matter how many incidents and accidents explode and they have extreme antipathy, virtual reality service has no substitute. So, for the Japanese users who were enjoying Arcadia, this action was literally lightning fast.

– I really can’t connect!

-Chick Show! How much money did I put into this game!

-What about the one-year pass I paid for? No, more than that, what about this capsule installment?

It was a unilateral measure that Japanese users, who poured a huge amount of money just to enjoy the game, could not understand even for a single day. So, they picked up the phone and went to the head office in person, continuing to protest fiercely, but Arcadia Co., Ltd. didn’t blink an eye.

[This decision was made based on numerous concerns and complaints about the side effects of virtual reality that the Japanese government has continuously communicated to headquarters. Arcadia Co., Ltd. takes this stance and perspective of the jurisdiction providing the service seriously, and will consider resuming the service once the results are clearly verified that there are no long-term side effects or risks of virtual reality technology on the human brain. It is.]

Arcadia Co., Ltd. took a step back, blaming the Japanese government and the media for their decision, saying that they had no choice but to make it. At the same time, they announced additional follow-up measures with faces full of sincerity.

[Therefore, considering the inevitable prolongation of this situation, we plan to establish a special refund policy limited to Japan to minimize damage to consumers. We promise to give you a 100% refund for all connectors Dreamer sold, including service vouchers that have not expired.]

Japan, where over 80 million connectors have been sold.

If all Dreamers are refunded, it is clear that Arcadia will suffer astronomical damages. However, most of the Japanese users, except for a small percentage, did not request a refund.

[However, if a refund is completely processed, this corresponds to completely invalidating the contract for the provision of virtual reality services of Arcadia Co., Ltd., which was previously concluded, and accordingly, all data in the virtual reality of the subscriber is It will be completely deleted.]

In exchange for a refund, Japanese users couldn’t bear to refund the interface device, which had become a useless nuisance because of threats, not threats, that their cherished characters in Arcadia would be completely deleted.

-How much money did I spend on Arcadia… Deleting a character? does that make sense?

– Even if you sell all the items in your inventory, you will buy 3 connectors, you damn game company.

-It’s been less than a month since I fully matched it with a rare item. what kind of lightning

Arcadia provided more immersion and fun than any other game.

Therefore, since the number of wallet warriors who opened their wallets and poured out huge amounts of cash without hesitation was beyond imagination, there was only one option for them to choose because of the countless costs that had already been buried in virtual reality.

-Isn’t it because of the Japanese government that the service was stopped in the first place?

-that’s right. What kind of absurd side effects or what?

– It must have been an inevitable choice for a single company. this fucking government.

The Japanese public made a natural decision that, unless they were shot in the head, the company would not have taken such extreme measures at the cost of huge losses.

That’s why the arrows of anger soon began to return to other places.

“The Japanese government must immediately stop the attack on Arcadia Co., Ltd.!”

“You touch virtual reality because you have nothing to do! You tax thieves!”

“Fucking Prime Minister Abin, come out in front of the people right now and drive the dog!”

Towards Prime Minister Abin and his cabinet who created this catastrophe.

* * *

An emergency cabinet meeting convened under the direction of Prime Minister Abin.

At this meeting, which began in a chilly atmosphere, he spewed out tremendous anger and raged.

Quaang.

“How the hell did that damn company know we were going to shut down the service?”

A statement from Arcadia Co., Ltd., announced at the same time and with exactly the same content. Prime Minister Abin asked with a lively look at this absurd situation where only words came out that he was aiming for it.

“Could there be a rat hiding in here that I don’t know about?”

There is no choice but to suspect that information was leaked from the inside. But at that question, everyone kept their mouths shut with stiff faces.

An inhospitable atmosphere that takes your breath away. It was none other than the Chief Cabinet Secretary who calmed down Prime Minister Abin, who was raging on the streets, saying he would smash anyone if caught.

“Prime Minister, it seems more urgent to think about ways to rectify the current situation than to hunt down the traitor. As of 00:00 two days ago, Arcadia completely blocked Japanese subscribers from accessing virtual reality. They voluntarily shut down all services before we ordered them to do anything about it.”

Originally, the Japanese government thought that Arcadia Co., Ltd. would sit at the negotiating table on its own to resume service if the superpower of service suspension was put first. However, their delusions were far from reality.

“Are you really willing to take the loss? It doesn’t matter if we give up the enormous profits we make in Japan…?”

Prime Minister Abin had already determined that Japan was a key market that Arcadia could never give up through thorough market research and analysis in advance. Measures that were both a warning and an unspoken threat made in order to force Arcadia to unravel the secret bundle of technology by pranking and pressuring Arcadia Co., Ltd., in a state where they were convinced that they were in the position of leader. However, the steps that Arcadia Co., Ltd. is showing now are no different from seriously withdrawing all business from Japan.

“It seems so. According to the current information received, most of the personnel at Arcadia Japan are being reduced, and all partners and affiliates have been notified of the suspension of the project. It seems that they are preparing to prolong this situation, and in the worst case, it seems that they will permanently stop the service altogether.”

I don’t know if it’s a simple bluff or if it’s sincere, but unlike the Japanese government, who expected that it would try to solve this situation quickly somehow, Arcadia Co., Ltd. It was they who gave the

“Right now, public opinion demanding that all measures be withdrawn in order to resume Arcadia’s service is spreading. Beyond mass protests….. even violent protests and extreme actions appear to be spreading here and there.”

Virtual Reality Arcadia.

A virtual world that embodies vivid senses that are indistinguishable from reality even though it is wearing a mask of a game.

That’s why there were more sincere people than anyone else in Arcadia.

[I have no reason to live any longer if I don’t see my Emily Jjaung again.]

[For me, who couldn’t walk freely because I had no legs… Arcadia was the only safe haven…. And this government gave me such a place. You’ve taken away my sanctuary. Hehehe…..]

[Gold earned in Arcadia was our family’s only means of livelihood

. disabled people. And in reality, hikikomori who can’t escape even their own small room, and dark gamers who make a living with the gold they earn from games.

If you’ve never tasted it, you might not know, but once you’ve experienced it, Arcadia boasts an enormous addiction that you can never get out of.

That is why their anger toward the Japanese government, which took away the daily lives and means of livelihood of all those who were sincere with Arcadia more than anyone else, was more destructive than they could have imagined.

[This damn government… do you dare to do this and be safe! Bloody revenge!]

[I will completely burn this twisted world.]

[Hold up the torches, people! Let’s overthrow this damn government!]

A serious situation where large-scale bloodshed occurs simultaneously across the country. That is why the Chief Cabinet Secretary warned Prime Minister Abin with a serious face.

“Currently, it is said that ordinary people have become extreme mobs, perpetrating all sorts of terrorist acts and inciting the masses. If we do not calm this public opinion by responding strongly right now… there is a risk that large-scale riots will spread throughout Japan.”

Anti-government sentiment and public opinion pouring out on the Internet and on the streets. As the number of people of all ages calling for Arcadia’s service to resume increased over time, the Chief Cabinet Secretary became more and more anxious.

But…..

The Japanese government, which had been pouring out comments in a harsh tone of criticism towards Arcadia Co., Ltd., out of pride, soon changed its posture to make Udyr cry at the news that is heating up the world, and servile. I had to kneel down in front of them and pray.

[Arcadia CEO Lee Mi-yeon announced that he would launch a broad and comprehensive welfare policy for severely disabled people. In this regard, several contents were included including permanent rental of premium Dreamer capsules, including free of charge of the service. Subjects can receive the benefits regardless of nationality, but only Japan, where the service was discontinued, was excluded. In response…]

[Today, Chairman Lee Jun-hee, who holds a 33.3% stake in Arcadia, a virtual reality service company, each staked 5%, and everyone saw the final chapter of the true main stream hidden in Arcadia. He has pledged to transfer all of his shares. According to a securities expert, the value of a 15% stake in Arcadia, an unlisted company, is expected to reach 500 billion yen, making it a hot topic.] [This is breaking

news. It has been confirmed that President Pearson of the United States issued a business order to investigate the possibility of officially recognizing the virtual currency called ‘gold’, which is used in virtual reality Arcadia, in a conversation with the chairman of the Economic and Financial Committee today. If that happens, it will be the first time that all economic activities in virtual reality are linked to the real economy.]

Virtual reality services and related industries are digging deeper into the world day by day.

Japan is in a reality where it is completely deprived of the splendid benefits and conveniences of virtual reality, which are indispensable in everyday life, due to a single wrong judgment, and has to live with exclusion.

It was only after tasting the cruel and harsh reality that Prime Minister Abin and the Japanese government were able to come to a desperate realization.

It means that the position they were placed in against Arcadia Co., Ltd. was not a position of A, but a position of thorough B.
