Game Tycoon C334 Advertisement and Issue
🕑 Added 2024-01-05 14:43:47 +0000 UTCIn a certain TV channel in the USA, the advertisement of "Netflix" played out.
On the advertisement scene, a split-screen. On one side, a typical living room in 1996: kids fighting over the TV, popcorn crumbs everywhere, family arguing about what to watch. On the other side, a serene living room: a couple cuddled on the couch, smiling as they watch a movie without interruptions.
Then the American narrator sounded, his voice was warm and friendly, [Tired of movie night turning into family feud night? Sick of late fees, empty shelves, and "nothing good's on"?]
The screen split faded and focuses on the serene couple, and the narrator sounding, [Introducing "Netflix"! The future of movie nights is here. With "Netflix," you can get—]
The camera's close-up shots of a stack of DVDs delivered to a mailbox, a user-friendly website on a computer screen, and a movie playing smoothly on a TV.
The narrator sounded once more, [Hollywood's hottest movies delivered right to your door. No more driving, searching, or settling. We have the classics, the blockbusters, and everything in between.]
Then the scene of the couple laughing was captured, and then the narrator sounded, [Discover your next favorite film. Our personalized recommendations help you find hidden gems you wouldn't have known existed.]
The camera cuts back to the happy couple now enjoying a bowl of popcorn together, with the narrator chiming in again, [Say goodbye to the video store hassle and hello to a world of cinematic possibilities. With Netflix: Your all-access pass to Hollywood, from the comfort of your couch.]
After that, the scene changes with close-up shots of the "Netflix" envelope arriving in a mailbox, revealing a shiny DVD and a colorful video game CD.
[Choose from thousands of blockbuster movies, captivating TV shows, and the hottest 32-bit adventures for your KS1 or TSX Fusion. Dive into Tomb Raider's mysteries, conquer Final Fantasy, or soar through Happy's vibrant landscapes.]
The scene returns to the couple, with the man suddenly noticing something and excusing himself to the woman. After taking something from the mailbox, he is exhilarated to see his favorite video game and movie finally delivered – "GTA III" video game and "The Godfather" film.
After that, the man returns and says, "Sweetheart, are you still watching the film?"
"Yes, why?"
"I wanted to play a video game."
When the man says that, the couple goes silent, and the woman pouts, "It's always about video games, what abo—"
Before the woman can finish her words, the scene changes to a different montage, showcasing families enjoying rented DVDs and video game plays: parents engrossed in a movie, kids cheering during a game, friends gathered for a multiplayer session.
[Netflix. It's more than entertainment; it's family time, quality moments rediscovered. Bid farewell to conflicts over video games and embrace boundless adventures. Simply visit the "Netflix" website, choose from various subscription tiers starting as low as 8 dollars after registration...]
After the narrator concludes and scenes of different families enjoying Netflix's rental services, along with the link to the "Netflix" website and glimpses of the webpage, the advertisement finally concludes.
Those who watched the advertisement were curious and interested.

"Netflix? I hadn't heard of it before..." A woman in her 20s, having just seen the advertisement, decided to visit the "Netflix" website on her computer. Reading through the header and texts, she discovered that subscribers could indeed rent several DVDs or video game CDs.
Intrigued, she decided to subscribe to the lower tier.

Sunny, a young gamer who also watched the advertisement, was interested and visited the "Netflix" website. Seeing the low subscription price and the ability to rent multiple video games, he promptly informed his parents about it.
His parents, observing their son's desire to subscribe to "Netflix" for renting DVDs or video games, felt there was nothing wrong with it. In their opinion, it's a preferable option compared to their son purchasing pirated video games.
In fact, the parents themselves wanted to subscribe to "Netflix" after seeing the extensive list of DVDs available for rent. They opted for the $19.99 tier, and Sunny's mother remarked, "How can renting DVDs be so cheap? Is this some kind of fraud?"
Sunny's father reassured her, saying, "Not a fraud, honey. It was just advertised on ABC channel. Do you think they would advertise something fraudulent?"
"Hmm... I don't think so."
Meanwhile, Sunny was thrilled to see his parents subscribing to the top tier, allowing him to play any KS1 video games he desired!

While "Netflix" was gradually becoming a big success for KiShin, the KiShin branch in the UK was facing a minor issue.
The issue at hand is that the "GTA" series in the country was gaining some popularity, and authorities noticed that the game had a violence and crime theme.
Despite KiShin rating their video game "GTA III" as a 13+ game, the other two games in the "GTA" series, namely "GTA I and II," were rated as suitable for ages 7 and above. However, the themes in "GTA I and II" were centered around violence and crime.
Moreover, even though the age ratings were set at 7 or 13, it was deemed inappropriate for individuals of those ages to play the "GTA" series, especially given the foul language in the dubbed version of "GTA III" and its contents. Consequently, the British Board Film Classification was contemplating a complete ban on the "GTA" series in the country.
Certainly, KiShin representatives in the UK will not allow this and will undertake the necessary steps to prevent the video game from being banned in the country.
This issue made headlines on television channels in the UK, reaching even ordinary civilians, but the most concerned group was undoubtedly the gamers.
They fervently prayed that the "GTA" series would not be banned in the country and hoped that KiShin could address the concerns raised by the British Board Film Classification.

In KiShin Rules Headquarters, in Shin's office, he reviewed the report detailing the threat of the "GTA" series being banned in the UK.
Not limited to the UK, some countries were contemplating a ban on the video game "GTA" series, despite the games being in their markets for months.
Shin sighed, recognizing that the only viable ways to prevent the banning of the video game "GTA" series might involve ultimately rating it as 18+ and editing out inappropriate content and dubbed language.
Although Shin perceived the graphics of "GTA III" and the entire series as cute and funny, he acknowledged that the perspective of the people in this world was not the same.
