Chapter 426: Nintendo admits intimidation
"The best thing to do is to let them stop and change their words!" Minoru Arakawa has been in the United States for a long time, and after the initial panic, Minoru Arakawa soon had an idea: "No matter how many rumors we refute, it is useless, only by letting PETA change her tune and admit that they are wrong, and our game does not involve animal cruelty, it is possible to stop this wave of rumors." ”。
"Let them change their minds? How is it possible to slap yourself in the mouth? Yamauchi instinctively questioned.
"President, the people of the United States are different from us Fuso people, we Fuso people regard reputation as life, and will never do this kind of thing that slaps us in the face. But the people of the United States are different, they only have money in their eyes, as long as the money is in place, PETA will change its mind! Minoru Arakawa shook his head and said with a hint of disdain, "It's the same with any animal protection organization!" ”
"If money does the trick, that's the best!" Yamauchi Pu nodded, it seemed that he had approved this plan, but Boss Jia, who was on the side, immediately changed color and said, "No, this plan is absolutely not good!" ”
"Why?" Yamauchi asked, "Does Mr. Jia think that they will refuse our request, and even collect money and do nothing?" ”
"That's one thing, if someone behind them pays them to smear us, then there's a good chance they'll reject us."
"But that's not the most important thing, the most important thing is that once we spend the money, then these animal protection organizations will know that we are weak and can be bullied, and I am afraid that they will come to us from time to time to trouble in the future, so that we may really never have peace!" Boss Jia said with a frown.
"It's okay, it's a big deal that our games don't involve animals in the future!" Yamauchi Pu shook his head and said very lightly, "The top priority at the moment is to settle this matter, and we must get the sales of Pokemon back on track, otherwise we, as well as President Jia, may have to suffer huge losses!" ”
"Arakawa-kun, you immediately contact this animal organization and tell them that whoever paid them to discredit us, as long as they are willing to change their mouths, we will give them double the money...... Well, but the money can't exceed $2 million, otherwise don't talk about it! Yamauchi Pu ordered directly to Minoru Arakawa, and he didn't ask Boss Jia at all.
This made Boss Jia's expression a little cold, don't look at Yamauchi Pu who was so enthusiastic about himself before, he still didn't put himself in his eyes in his feelings.
Thinking of this, Boss Jia simply stopped talking, since Nintendo has made up its mind to do this, Jia Yapeng is nonsense no matter how much he says, it is better to watch them die.
A day later, good news came from Nintendo, after receiving $1.5 million from Nintendo, PETA really agreed, and then began to dazzle the operation.
First of all, Nintendo publicly published a letter of explanation in all the media, which explained in detail that Pokemon are not animals, but some magical elves, and all the behaviors in the game will not cause actual harm to these animals, and at the same time invite PETA to visit Nintendo's headquarters to learn more about the situation.
So PETA readily agreed, sent a delegation, visited Nintendo for a day, and finally concluded that it was a misunderstanding before, "Pokemon" does treat animals well, and they are not enslaving elves, but treating elves as friends, and the whole Pokemon game is promoting that pokemon are friends of human beings so beautiful and full of animal protectionist concepts.
PETA then withdrew all the publicity and personally sent a letter of explanation to all members explaining the situation this time.
I have to admit that PETA is still very skilled in slapping herself in the face, not only does it not hurt or itch, but also can play above board, everyone who hits is very comfortable, plays with characteristics, plays with style, and plays a mountain of gold and silver, even Boss Jia sees such an operation, and can't help but sigh, Midi still has a master.
When PETA came to visit that day, Boss Jia also went to visit PETA's people, and when they left, Yamauchi Pu said to Boss Jia proudly, "Jia Jun, you see, the matter was solved so easily, money is really a universal thing, and all the people of the United States are bastards!" ”
"President Yamauchi is wise!" Boss Jia gave a faint compliment, and then stopped talking.
Boss Jia also figured out the time of the day, why should he be angry about this matter, after all, the stupid thing was done by Nintendo, and it has nothing to do with him Jia Yapeng. In the future, it will be Nintendo who will be blackmailed by the PETA organization, and it will not be blackmailed to him Jia Yapeng's head.
To some extent, this also seems to be a good thing, after all, Boss Jia will have a falling out with Nintendo sooner or later, and with these animal protection organizations in the future, it seems to be quite good to come to Nintendo every day to make trouble.
The facts that happened in the future proved that Boss Jia was indeed very discerning, don't look at the guests and hosts at this time, the second time was only less than a year later, after Nintendo released an animal-related game, PETA was entangled again and began to attack this game.
Nintendo had no choice but to continue to pay for it.
As a result, PETA closed its mouth, and many other animal protection organizations in the United States began to make crazy accusations at the same time, and at most more than 20 animal protection organizations came to Nintendo for trouble, because these animal protection organizations saw the possibility of making money from the lucrative PETA.
The so-called monk can't be touched.
Why can't I make all the money PETA make? Are you discriminating against animal protection organizations?
Anyway, all kinds of animal protection organizations came to the door, and then secretly hinted to Nintendo that they only need to trade sponsorship money like PETA, and they can spend money to eliminate the disaster.
However, at this time, Nintendo also reacted and resolutely stopped giving money, and the result was that the whole country was excited for a while, and the sales of the game plummeted, and a game that was expected to be a big seller was completely finished.
After that, this story was repeated several times, and several Nintendo games were messed up, and finally when Nintendo reviewed and created games, it could only regard animal-themed games as forbidden areas, requiring its game companies not to involve animal themes, let alone any animal-related abuse in the game.
This makes the game companies under their command very helpless, because in the future, these animal protection organizations will even treat the traditional monsters of the game such as goblins and slimes as animals that need to be protected, and they will not even be able to fight the most basic monsters in the game, as long as you dare to fight monsters, it is animal cruelty, and major animal protection organizations will come to the door.
In order to avoid this pitfall, many game companies have devised a lot of unbelievable mechanics, which in turn have led to serious poor sales of game cartridges.
After a long time, Nintendo reacted again, revoked all animal-themed moderation bans, and then ignored all the words of animal protection organizations as farts.
It wasn't until this time that Nintendo understood how correct Boss Jia's suggestion was, and Yamauchi regretted it every time when he thought about it, but it had led to the loss of many players and game companies.
So from a certain point of view, this PETA incident can be regarded as a great help to Boss Jia!
