A few days ago, Toshio Otsuka finally got in touch with Nobuyoshi Koyama, the director of Sony Interactive Entertainment's independent game development class.

The two sides had a meal at a high-end hotel in Ginza, during which Toshio Otsuka revealed his desire to receive financial support from Sony.

However, Nobuyoshi Oyama told Toshio Otsuka that the support funds for this year's game development class have been decided to be fully invested in Terracotta Warriors Entertainment. The two sides have officially reached a cooperation intention, and in a few days, the contract will be signed.

If Chigusa Co., Ltd. shows the same great potential as the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Entertainment, Koyama Nobuyoshi may be able to apply for an additional support fund from his superiors. But it's clear that in Sony's eyes, the game company doesn't make much sense to support it.

was politely rejected by Nobuyoshi Koyama, and Toshio Otsuka was obviously very dissatisfied with this result.

In order to expand its business quickly, Chigusa Co., Ltd. borrowed a large amount of money from a bank.

Now the repayment deadline is approaching, but Chigusa Co., Ltd.'s stall is too big, and most of the working capital is invested in the research and development of new games, and there is no ability to repay at all.

Toshio Otsuka was in dire need of funds, so he targeted Sony's support.

It doesn't matter if you have a partnership with Sony, or even be acquired as a first-party developer. Toshio Otsuka must achieve this goal in order to keep the company. Therefore, squeezing out the rival terracotta warriors and horses entertainment has become something he has been thinking about recently.

Now that the Agency for Cultural Affairs Media Arts Festival is about to be held, if it can beat Terracotta Entertainment and win the grand prize, then there is no doubt that Chigusa Co., Ltd. will greatly increase its weight in the negotiations with Sony.

As the assistant to the president, although Akito Yasumura has a despicable character and average ability, his ability to figure out the thoughts of his boss and make crooked ideas is first-class.

He rolled his eyes and smiled excitedly: "President, I have come up with a good idea that can not only allow us to win the Media Art Festival Award, but also sabotage the cooperation between Qin Han and Sony." In Chinese dialect, this is called killing two birds with one stone!"

"What's the idea, let's hear it?" asked Toshio Otsuka.

Getting the president's attention, Akira Yasumura smiled proudly, and sold it first: "President, although "Oriental Fantasy Hometown Story" sells extremely well and can be called a miracle in the independent game industry, but this game has a very fatal flaw. ”

"What are the drawbacks?"

"It's not politically correct enough. ”

"It's hard for you to know the concept of political correctness. Toshio Otsuka said. He didn't expect this brain-full of fat intestines, thinking about playing with the assistant of a female high school student all day long, and this kind of insight.

Akito Yasumura was not offended by Toshio Otsuka's contempt, he continued, "Although the protagonist of 'Oriental Gensokyo Monogatari' can freely customize the appearance, name, and other content, the gender is fixed, and only men can be chosen. In the game's love system, players can only pursue a variety of female characters and marry them. Moreover, Qin Han, as a well-known cartoonist, also drew those female characters so beautiful and seductive when he was the character of the game. Although this can please otaku players, other game groups may have a lot of opinions. This is the biggest drawback of "Oriental Gensokyo Story". ”

Speaking of which, Toshio Otsuka certainly understands what Akito Yasumura means.

Although the historical trend of this parallel world is different, after the world war, with the deployment of a large number of nuclear weapons, it still experienced the Cold War.

It's just that because the Cold War in this world does not stem from ideological struggles, but from the game of geopolitical interests between major powers, the Cold War does not end because one side collapses.

Thirty years ago, after China and the United States signed the Comprehensive Arms Reduction Treaty and the Memorandum of Understanding, the Cold War between the two major military blocs of the East and the West came to an end.

A large number of high-tech technologies have been transferred from military to civilian use, the economy has developed rapidly, and the whole world has shown a thriving scene.

After the material life was greatly enriched, it was natural that various new social trends of thought emerged.

For example, racial equality, LGBT (a combination of lesbian, gay, transgender, and bisexual) anti-discrimination, feminism, and so on, have sprung up. In Europe and the United States, it is especially widespread.

Although the number of female gamers has grown rapidly in recent years, video games are still the traditional field of male entertainment. Therefore, most of the works of game manufacturers are also developed with male gamers in mind. Among them, it is inevitable that there will be some female characters with angel faces and devil bodies and hot clothes, specially designed to serve male players.

The original intention of feminism was to fight for women's equal social status and legal rights, but today, it has gradually deteriorated. Some extreme feminists are more appropriate to be called mascuophobia. They are like crazy people, as long as they see someone or something that they think is "discriminatory against women", they will pounce on them and go crazy.

Many game companies have suffered losses in this regard.

When there are sexy and beautiful girls in the game, they are objectifying women.

There is a plot of a man beating a woman in the game, which is advocating the oppression of women by male power.

In the game, there are remarks such as "women should be virtuous and patronize their families", which is to imprison women with backward ideas.

In the face of these crazy extreme feminists, game companies either pretend to be deaf and dumb and wait for the limelight to pass, or admit to apologizing and modifying the game content, and few game companies dare to take it seriously.

Although these social trends are not too widespread in Asian countries such as China and Dongying, in Europe and the United States, feminists are very strong and arrogant.

"If we make a fuss about the issue of women's rights, then the reputation of "Oriental Gensokyo Story" will definitely suffer a big landslide. And for a multinational company like Sony, working with politically incorrect Terracotta Entertainment can also affect the company's global image. Akito Yasumura smiled.

"It's a great idea to start with women's rights. But how do you do that? bribe the game media to attack "Oriental Gensokyo Story"?"

"There's a better way!" said Akito Yasumura, "I know an American indie game developer named Zoe Quinn. A month ago, she produced an indie game called Depression Journey, which was released on Steam at about the same time as Oriental Gensokyo Story. However, there was no response. We can buy her and make her make a statement claiming that she has been subjected to unfair competition and suppression because of her gender, so the game is not cared for. And then direct this matter to the discrimination against women in the game industry......"

"Well, very good plan. We can also buy some media and trolls to build momentum and make this matter as big as possible. Toshio Otsuka said triumphantly, "Standing on the moral high ground and harming people is really the most painful thing! Qin Han and his terracotta warriors and horses are finished this time!"
