A Lie Has Become Reality

61 – Power Games (1)

[ The Digital Fox ]

★★★★★ ( 5.0 / 5.0 )

With gorgeous visuals and audio, this game is one of the most polished games ever released.

Brutal violence and surprisingly realistic characters’ three-dimensional effect combined with state-of-the-art technology showed us a perfect movie.

Although it makes players uncomfortable and suffers discomfort throughout the game due to various unpleasant elements, all of these should be seen as attractive elements of the game that fit the planning intention.

“It’s so f*cking stupid.”

I burst out laughing.

Power Games announced the release of a new game in the ‘Original Six Series’ at this EGC.

There was a lot of talk and a lot of trouble, but in the end the game was released smoothly.

Of course, as soon as it was released, it broke records one after another with an average rating of less than 2 points on various sites, but the problem is that the sales trend is not the worst.

“Tsk.”

I clicked my tongue in regret.

Obviously, the sales volume of Power Games’ new game this time is very low compared to expectations.

But I was not satisfied.

I was expecting it to go beyond just being low-key, and to be completely sloppy.

“There is definitely less aggro.”

The situation was quite different from when I was pulling aggro in Korea, my home base.

It’s harder to find someone who doesn’t know my name in Korea, but isn’t that a story that is only used in Korea after all?

Of course, my name spread among quite a few gamers abroad, but that was not enough to truly educate Power Games.

“Shall we just take over?”

Muttering, I took out my cell phone and listened.

Tuk Tuk-

I moved my fingers diligently and searched for corporate information of Power Games.

“Isn’t it an unlisted company?”

Power Games is an unlisted company in which two co-CEOs hold a 66% stake.

This means that stock information has not been disclosed to the market, which means that the exact market capitalization cannot be known.

In the end, what you call is the price…

“If it is an unlisted company, it might be easier….”

If you succeed in persuading only a few major shareholders, the difficulty of acquisition is much easier for an unlisted company than for a listed company.

If it was as big as Power Games, it must have been attempted by another company….

“This crazy.”

As expected.

After searching the Internet for a bit, the case I was looking for came up without difficulty.

[ GameCore’s offer to acquire Power Games for $ 2.4 Billion, the story behind the ‘failed acquisition’ ]

The question is, can I afford that ridiculous takeover price?

2.4 Billion dollars, which is close to 3 trillion won in Korean currency.

There’s nothing wrong with bringing in Taewoong’s capital, but it’s dismissed because the risk is high in many ways.

I feel like I’m losing my mind when I check the acquisition price.

“My morale is shattered.”

I let out a deep sigh and lay down on the hotel bedding.

A soft feeling as if lying down on snow in midwinter wrapped around the body.

No matter how much I think about it, I can’t get rid of my anger.

As much as I was deeply attached to the previous game, I did not know how to cool down my anger at Power Games for ruining the sequel, claiming that they put in unreasonable ideas.

Isn’t there a way to make something work? If it was Korea, there would have been many ways to use their hands.

Diring-!

The top of the blaring phone screen was plastered with Twitter notifications.

I checked the contents by pressing the notification window as it is.

-Okay, I can’t believe you love our fictional characters so much… It’s impressive! But these characters are not real. Literally, ‘virtual’.

@Jasonkinder21

-If the fictional character is that good… Seriously, I’d recommend psychotherapy. This is a must for you guys too.

@Jasonkinder21

-(Photo) Over 3 million copies sold in 3 days of release. Am I still wrong?

“This kid is a really great kid.”

I gave myself a standing ovation.

If writing sh*t is also a skill, this bastard is a talent close to the genius of the century.

It is a fresh shock that I have felt for the first time since Jeon Hyo-min of Jeon Hang Group.

I burst into admiration and went through his recent posts and comments.

≫The quantity purchased by consumers is not 3 million, but the quantity shipped to wholesalers and retailers must be 3 million. And most of them are bad stock that doesn’t sell. Have you decided to change your job as a fraudster?

ㄴ@Jasonkinder21 – Even if you insist on that, the fact that it’s the amount we sold doesn’t change.

≫It’s really the worst that a game company representative treats users who like his games as mentally ill.

ㄴ@Jasonkinder21 – First of all, I know you’re not a fan of my games.

≫I want you to know that it’s your beggarly ideology or spouse, and not paying that expensive money to play games.

ㄴ@Jasonkinder21 – So, isn’t it a problem that can be solved by not buying the game? (Smiley emoticon)

≫Could you tell me what they say there’s something left after fighting with the players?

ㄴ@Jasonkinder21 – I love users, so I’m giving this advice seriously. I want everyone to know my heart.

“Wow.”

The more I look at it, the more I can only admire it.

Ignoring the Power Games boycott challenge that started with me, he just seemed busy mocking his customers.

It is said that the worst has been avoided with the previous game’s buff, but what do you believe and act like that?

I couldn’t stand it, so I moved my fingers to write.

@Leonplay_ksw

-Looking at the writing, I have a strong hunch that the CEO position of Power Games was put on the office politics.

My phone vibrated less than a minute after posting.

@Jasonkinder21

ㄴ Wouldn’t it be better to trust the parents and install it like someone else than a kid?

@Leonplay_ksw

That would be better than a scammer who sells something that is not even a game as a game.

@Jasonkinder21

By any chance, do you feel inferior to me?

Tuk Tuk Tuk-

At first, I just wanted to say something.

After seeing the gamers’ reactions, I thought it would be mutually beneficial if Power Games came to their senses even if it was late.

My affection for the ‘Original Six Series’ was sincere.

Of course, it was all my misunderstanding.

“It is not easy.”

There’s nothing I can do about it other than having a keyboard battle with this goddamn bastard.

Shall we take over Taewoong’s capital?

I am convinced that the value of the company can be multiplied several times if it is possible to take over.

Isn’t it worth taking over if the company’s reputation is somehow undermined and capital is raised?

If I had been listed, I would have done the work with short selling….

Whoop-

It was quite uncomfortable to plant as arrogant thoughts ran through my head.

In the meantime, Tring-! The sound of the ringing notification flooded my ears.

I checked the contents of the notification as it is.

“What is this again?”

@EricMusk

-Hey Jason, yesterday I played a new game in the original Six series you were so proud of. I want to say thank you for giving me the worst day ever.

Eric Musk.

He is a businessman, engineer, and investor who consistently ranks among the top 5 richest people in the world.

He is a giant among giants with personal wealth approaching hundreds of trillions.

Since he is so famous for being a geek, he says he can accept any eccentricity, but what did he come here for?

“Is that right?”

There is a certification mark next to the nickname, but I checked the profile again just in case.

No matter how many times I check, it’s the Eric Musk I know.

I just watched the situation with my mind confused and speechless.

@Jasonkinder21

N Eric Musk, a human like you played my game. I’m sorry about that.

@EricMusk

Can I ask why you ruined the sequel to the series I loved so much?

@Jasonkinder21

Somehow the level of the game was too high for you to accept.

@EricMusk

Oh Jason. How could it have been so damaged because of an art disease?

@Jasonkinder21

ㄴ It’s not an art disease, it’s a social message.

@EricMusk

ㄴ For the sake of future mankind, it would be right to put an end to this nonsense here.

“…… What are they doing?”

I just burst out laughing.

Of course we knew that Eric Musk was a video game enthusiast.

He himself revealed that the reason he decided to become an engineer was because he was obsessed with video games.

“…… “

Coming to think of it, he had enough justification to intervene in this keyboard battle.

Isn’t it Eric Musk who is famous for being a geek as well as an SNS addict whose hobby is writing poop?

Looking at his angry face, he must have been an avid fan of the Original Six series.

@Jasonkinder21

ㄴ It’s not me who needs to stop, it’s you, Eric Musk. Wake.

@EricMusk

I heard that you don’t get along very well with co-CEO Philip, is that true?

@Jasonkinder21

What did that mean?

@EricMusk

N Power Games, I thought I would take over.

@Jasonkinder21

B… What?

“… !”

Am I wrong?

Eric Musk’s bomb remarks made me lose my mind for a moment.

Considering his wealth, the acquisition of Power Games is no more than a level of difficulty lying down and eating rice cakes.

But what kind of crazy person would try to take over a trillion-dollar company just because the CEO doesn’t like it?

But surprisingly, Eric Musk is a human enough to be left with.

@Jasonkinder21

B…… f*ck the joke.

@EricMusk

Oh, I’m more sincere than anyone right now, Jason.

After Eric Musk wrote that he was sincere, Jason disappeared.

But he continued to post as if it was just the beginning.

@EricMusk

N I have already contacted Philip, the co-CEO of Power Games. He indicated that he was fully willing to hand over the stake to me.

@EricMusk

B Most of the other shareholders agreed. However, the condition was that it be operated jointly with a proper game manager.

@EricMusk

ㄴ@leonplay_ksw How are you? Are you interested?

“Ha… hahahaha… “

Anyway, he seems to be serious.

There was another person besides me who would take over a game company just because the CEO didn’t like it.

hahahaha, are you interested?

@Leonplay_ksw

If only those humans could be driven out. Anything.

≫hahahahaha

≫The rumors of a feud between Philip and Jason must have been true.

≫Two crazy guys met hahahaha

≫Is this a true story? Acquisition of Power Games?

≫Where did Jason go? Did you go for psychotherapy? hahahaha

≫What is this ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

You should ask what to ask.

Of course, I’m not interested.
