Chapter 702 What Is Coming Will Eventually Come (37)

701

"Dear viewers, welcome to our new question show. Today we invited a well-known sociologist, and what we are discussing today is a rather special topic, that is, what can video games bring to us? What."

In a program on a certain American TV station, a young host hosted the program with a smile.

"Let me introduce to you the sociologist Mr. Jean."

"Hello everyone."

An old man with glasses and gray hair and beard said hello to the camera.

After a brief introduction and greeting, the host started today's topic: "Mr. Gene, have you learned about the video game industry recently?"

"Video games, of course I know this very well. My child likes video games very much. Even though he is now in his thirties, he still remembers to play video games for one or two hours every day. Maybe that's why For this reason, I, a sociologist, have become interested in video games and want to learn more about them.”

"Okay, so Mr. Gene, what do you think about video games?"

"This is an emerging industry. It can be considered a young industry among countless industries in human history, and this industry is also growing. In the eyes of capital, video games now have great potential."

The host said: "Mr. Jean, you mean in the eyes of capital?"

"That's right." Sociologist Jean nodded, and then continued, "According to my investigation, video games are a very unique industry. This thing does not have any physical output, and in my opinion, it does not even have any right Industries that bring value to human development are now becoming mainstream.”

"From what Mr. Jean said, you are obviously very dissatisfied with video games."

"Of course, because of video games, my child doesn't do legitimate things every day. He can obviously use the time playing games to do more meaningful things, such as working and taking care of the family. , do things that are meaningful to the entire society, instead of wasting time on this meaningless entertainment.”

"Mr. Jean, but there are many similar things in this world. For example, the film and television industry seems to be similar to the gaming industry, right?"

"That's different." Gene replied decisively, "The film and television industry is an art. After so many years of development, the film and television industry has brought many positive effects to people. Look, there are so many well-known inspirational film and television works. , it has brought a great motivating effect to our human beings, which is good. There are also many movies and TV dramas that express their own ideas and express their emotions. I think these are good, but video games do not have any The benefit in this aspect is that this is where the film and television industry is different from video games.”

The host nodded suddenly: "That seems to be the case. Gaming seems to be a really bad industry."

Sociologist Jean continued: "Also, what do you think video games are promoting? Let me give you an example, such as Dragon Quest, which describes the entire superstructure as fatuous or even evil. Yes, this is obviously the most superficial misunderstanding.”

"There is also the game Monster Hunter, which uses weapons to hunt those creatures that are already very cherished. Doesn't this also encourage people to destroy the ecological balance? And the game Monster Hunter is also suspected of encouraging people to use violence to achieve their own goals. There are so many beautiful characters in the game, and mediocre faces can only be passers-by, which is contrary to sociology and many disciplines.”

"Wow, I didn't expect that at all."

The host suddenly realized that he felt as if he had been opened to a new world and had a new understanding of this world.

Sociologist Jean was very satisfied with the host's reaction, so he continued: "There is another most typical incident that should be relatively famous recently. I would like to call it the civilization addiction incident."

"Huh? This is still a very new term."

"Well, please remember that this is a noun named by me. Others can use this noun in the future, as long as they include my name."

The host immediately asked: "Then what does this civilization addiction incident mean?"

"This is closely related to a game. The name of this game is "Civilization""

"Ah, I know this game. I can hear this name recently on some social media and in discussions among some people around me."

"This game is really a heinous crime. Some games in the past have the effect of misleading thinking and judgment, but this game will make people completely addicted and even unable to extricate themselves. I have heard that many people forget about life and work because of this game. Forget about studying, do you think this kind of thing will be good?”

The host shook his head quickly: "That must be bad."

"Yes, it's terrible. That's why I offered to participate in your question show. In this show, I want to appeal to people not to be deceived by the appearance of video games. This is a very bad thing. This thing, I would like to call it poison. As long as you are sober, you should never be poisoned by this poison, and you should do your best to boycott video games. This is what I insist on.”

…

"A lot of bullshit."

This is the only evaluation given by Zhu Youxing.

As soon as this program was launched, someone showed it to Zhu Youxing.

Among them, this sociologist almost pointed out and criticized Youxing Electronic Entertainment by name.

Entertainment is an innate need of human beings, but some people have different control abilities. Electronic games are not to blame. Some people drink all day and all night, some play chess all day and all night, and some go to watch football games all day and all night.

Do you really expect everyone to work like a ruthless working machine?

What's the meaning of life then?

So Zhu Youxing is very dismissive of this kind of program.

This is just another performance of a new position.

He wants to fight for the right to speak for his own interests.

If you understand this core, you will know what these people want to do.

What is coming will eventually come.

In the original world, political correctness gradually penetrated from the film and television industry to the electronic game industry over time.

Later, the ugly characters in the game, and some gameplay features such as deliberately avoiding hunting animals were also to take care of the feelings of these people.

The reason is simple, that is, because these people shout the loudest, so we have to consider these people who shout the loudest.

But, Zhu Youxing is not interested in taking care of these people.

He is here to make games, not to take care of his father.
