Chapter 249: Restricted Game Launched!
Is today's new world strong enough to face the pressure of public opinion?
The answer is no, not to mention that there are countless pairs of eyes staring at the new world.
What is the game that makes Lindy so entangled, in fact, it is the famous "Grand Theft Auto", or GTA for short.
"Grand Theft Auto" is a crime-themed game developed by Rockstar Games, the first release of this game in 97 years, as soon as the game was launched, it was criticized by public opinion, and even many governments in many countries because the game involves a lot of violence, gang fighting, turf grabbing and gunfight elements, worried that the game will affect the physical and mental health of teenagers and completely ban the game in their own country, and the major media have also criticized this game.
However, it can only be said that the game was not developed for the government and the media. The government's lockdown and media condemnation became GTA's free publicity, and most young people at the time became interested in the game because of the negative reports. As soon as the game was launched, sales far exceeded expectations.
Chinese players really got into this game when they started with Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. However, no matter which version it is, the violent elements of GTA have never been weakened, on the contrary, starting with "Grand Theft Auto 3", due to the change of the person in charge, the game has been more violent and pornographic, and as a sequel to "Grand Theft Auto 3", "Vice City" has also continued this characteristic.
Looking at the history of GTA, it's no wonder that Lindy is so entangled after getting this game.
The quality of GTA's games is indeed excellent, but what really made this game popular was the negative media coverage. Overall, it's an excellent game that has been hyped up in controversy.
Lindy took a deep breath, if the game really induces people to commit crimes, then Lindy couldn't risk the reputation of the New World, but in Lindy's memory, a research department in the United States had published the results of a study.
Crime games not only do not induce crime, but also go a long way in reducing the number of crimes.
In other words, GTA was actually wronged. Not only that, but he also needs a game with a high degree of freedom for players to warm up first.
This made Lindy even more entangled.
After a long silence, Lindy took a deep breath.
He picked up his phone and called for money.
"Hey, come on, come on, listen to me, I need to choose a city in the UK to release a new game......"
On March 25, a new announcement was released on the official announcement page of Shinsegae.
"Grand Theft Auto Racer is currently scheduled to be officially released on the 26th of this month in the UK MC City, and the game will be released in the form of a disc for the first time, and the website does not support online downloads for the time being. ”
As soon as this news came out, one stone stirred up a thousand waves.
"Damn, for Mao to be released in the UK? Isn't the new world our Huaxia?"
"Is it only available in one city? It never seems to have been like this, what the hell?"
"Is there anything special about this game? It's still on disc?"
After all, British players are still a minority in the new world, not to mention that there is only one MC city, so the forums are basically complaining.
It is precisely because of this "abnormal" behavior of New World that it has attracted the attention of more players and the media.
E-sports Network: New World Games debuted its game abroad for the first time.
Ant.com: New World focuses on overseas markets and debuted Grand Theft Auto in the UK, and experts will interpret New World's operation strategy for you.
UK MC City, the UK's mega city, is also the UK's highest crime rate, with a crime rate of 7.49%! On March 26, New World's new game "Grand Theft Auto" started its world premiere in this city.
There is no New World Game Center in MC City, but there is one in London, which is not far away, and not only that, but many players from surrounding cities have come to buy this new game in New World.
On the day of the game's release, players had already lined up at the temporary release point in New World.
The price of 45 pounds is not cheap, but in the UK, it is actually not expensive, and at the game launch site, the staff of New World arranged a large number of promotional advertisements at the release point, and gave a more detailed explanation of the game information and game content.
The most important thing is to purchase this game, which must be an adult player over the age of 18 to purchase!
Needless to say, the world's first crime-themed game quickly attracted the interest of players, and major media outlets began to pay attention to this "adult game".
The British Fiells: New World releases its first limited game! Grand Theft Auto involves a lot of violence.
MC City Local Newspaper: Keep an eye on your kids, Grand Theft Auto contains a lot of violence.
MC Local TV: Please get out of MC City, we don't need a new world to poison our young people.
Not only the British media, but also the global media have begun to pay close attention to the game released by New World.
It can be said that GTA is the world's first crime game so far, and such a game has a far-reaching impact on the entire society.
Korea Electronic Pioneer: Should crime games appear in the video game market?
IPC.com: The video game market is gradually developing towards violence, and video games may become a human psychotropic drug.
This time, even the mainstream media in China did not stand on the side of the new world.
Huaxia.com: Who regulates the video game market, and does a violent game like Grand Theft Auto have the value of existence?
This game,It's the world's first crime game,The role played by the player can be added to the wanton slaughter of civilians,Robbery,Shooting,Arson, etc.,And the game uses a more realistic expression,It also has a more realistic performance for the bloody picture,The emergence of such a game,And it is also a famous new world game produced,No wonder it caused such a big sensation。
It can be said that this game is simply a challenge to social morality.
All of a sudden, almost all the media were criticizing such an epoch-making game.
However, the players went crazy.
"Damn, there is still such a game?
"I only play games and never post, but I can't help it this time, when will New World release GTA in the United States?"
"The media is also neurotic, just playing a game, using such an exaggeration? There are so many people who play CS, and I haven't seen anyone who plays CS and goes out to shoot and kill, right? ”
"After watching the video posted by the British player, it's so cool, I strongly request that New World be released in China as soon as possible!"
Of course, there is also a significant part of the game, which is very disgusted with the game.
"It's a long-time user of New World, and to be honest, this game does teach bad kids. ”
"Who is the mastermind of this game? Isn't there a problem with your brain? What's the point of making a game like this?"
It can be said that there is a clear polarization of players' attitudes towards this game, those who like it are super liked, and those who don't like it are extremely disgusted.
But the new world doesn't seem to have the slightest intention to explain.
The release in the UK is approved by the local government, and not all regions will ban such violent games from entering the market, so what others say will not affect the new world.
Of course, it's impossible for New World to release the game in just one city, and right now, Lindy is just waiting.
Waiting for someone to justify the GTA.
