This time the main targets of the exposure were the four major television stations, NHK and Tokyo Television also had some minor exposures, but they were all trivial matters, the kind of behind-the-scenes dealings between superiors and subordinates that were insignificant. This kind of thing occasionally gets exposed and is nothing special.
So Tokyo Television and NHK remained very calm.
However, the Vice President of Tokyo Television, Kubo, was quite frightened.
Among the six major television stations, there were hardly any clean figures in the upper echelons, it's just that the explosiveness of the exposed content varied.
It's just insider trading between superiors and subordinates, much lighter than the content exposed by the other four companies.
Now the four major television stations are in a state of panic, completely neglecting to blacken the electronic game industry further.
However, Takayuki didn't relax. He instructed the online navy team to continue promoting the benefits of electronic games according to plan.
In the industry, mutual defamation is commonplace, and in his previous life, such incidents were not uncommon either.
If there's really any harm, it can only be said that everything has a limit; playing games too much is not good, just like in the future, spending too much time on short videos or other entertainment can also be detrimental, as long as it doesn't exceed the limit, there's no harm.
As for the affairs of those four television stations, they have nothing to do with electronic games anymore. It's more important to focus on how to develop games.
Speaking of which, although there have been several violent incidents in the sales of Dragon Quest this time, it hasn't affected players' enthusiasm for the game at all.
Some of them don't even know about the fighting incidents.
Dragon Quest is the most important.
Wilson was an ordinary person from the United States.
He came to Japan for work reasons and arrived in Japan around the end of last year. When he first arrived here, he felt completely lost because he didn't understand Japanese at all.
In this speechless environment, he felt helpless and didn't know what to do. Apart from work, he seemed to be at a loss every day.
The only people he could communicate with were probably the two or three translators accompanying him.
But obviously, that wasn't enough.
After about a month, he couldn't bear it anymore and was desperate to buy a plane ticket back home immediately.
However, headquarters required him to continue staying here for more than six months.
Damn bosses, they didn't know the hardships of life at all, they just knew how to boss people around.
If they push me too hard, I'll just quit directly!
At that time, Wilson was prepared to submit his resignation.
But on the day before he was about to resign, he went to the home of the Japanese colleague who accompanied him and accepted the invitation to have a meal at his house.
He didn't refuse because he usually didn't eat well, most of the time he just settled for fast food. Having the opportunity to eat a proper home-cooked meal was quite appealing to him.
And he had heard that Japanese housewives were always very skillful in cooking, and the food they made was quite delicious.
So he thought that before returning to the United States, he could taste Japanese home-cooked meals first and then brag about it to his friends and family when he got back.
Then, he went to the home of the translator colleague.
But he forgot how the meal was that day.
He only remembered one thing.
The FC, a home entertainment computer, or more accurately, a game console.
He had heard long ago that Japanese people always had wonderful ideas and could always create some quite novel things.
For example, the portable music player that was currently popular in the United States, it was so small and could play continuously for several dozen hours.
He would sometimes take it out to listen to in Japan, which could greatly relieve his irritability.
And now, there was a new thing in front of him.
This thing was even more interesting, far more interesting than the portable music player.
He remembered that he played until after midnight that night, and during that time, he constantly heard the Japanese colleague's child speaking in Japanese, sounding like complaining.
Anyway, he couldn't understand it, completely ignoring the little brat, and completely immersing himself in the world of electronic games.
In the end, he felt a bit reluctant to leave and bid farewell to his colleague with apologies.
When he returned to his apartment and saw his daily necessities already packed in his suitcase, as well as the resignation letter he had written, he tore up the resignation letter without hesitation and decided to put aside the idea of resigning for the time being.
Then, the next day after work, he immediately followed his colleague's lead to a game console store and generously took out a stack of cash to buy all the electronic games available in the store at the time.
This stunned his colleague, thinking that Americans were indeed rich, buying so many games without even batting an eye.
Now the number of NES games has almost reached one hundred, with an average price of around four thousand yen per game. Nearly one hundred boxes of games add up to tens of thousands of yen.
If it were a modern Japanese person, they definitely wouldn't dare to spend money so recklessly.
Wilson, who bought back the games, immediately rushed into his apartment.
And then, every day after that, besides going to work during the day, the only thing he did was play games.
The most enjoyable thing was to take out a bottle of beer from the refrigerator every day, then sit in front of the TV, drink beer, and play Super Mario Bros. and other games that didn't require him to learn Japanese.
Later on, he gradually started playing those role-playing games.
At first, he didn't like this type of game because there was too much Japanese in it, making it very difficult for him to play.
But out of love for the game, he actually started actively learning Japanese.
Step by step, even though it was very difficult, stumbling along the way, he persisted.
After more than three months, he finally mastered Japanese to a decent level.
In fact, even he himself found it difficult to believe that he still had such amazing learning ability.
He thought his brain had already deteriorated.
Then, he officially started to play those role-playing games.
Since truly immersing himself in role-playing games, he felt as if he had entered a whole new world.
Thrilling adventure stories, epic battles between heroes and enemies, rescuing beautiful princesses.
Isn't this just the American heroic ideal version 2.0?
Wilson, who claimed to have pure American blood, was immediately captivated by role-playing games.
Whenever he reached a critical point in the story, his whole body would be thrilled with goosebumps.
This was much more interesting than simply watching Western cowboy movies.
The only regret was that these games were all in Japanese. Even though his learning ability was strong, there were still some vocabulary he couldn't fully understand, so he could only roughly understand the overall story.
But even so, he felt quite pleased.
Unprecedented pleasure!
