A Lie Has Become Reality

55 – Super Gap

Game Ratings Management Committee, abbreviated as Governance Commission.

What is this organization doing?

What the hell is this institution doing to incur the resentment of all gamers?

In fact, to understand the background to the establishment of this organization, you need to know an incident that happened in the past.

‘Beach Story Incident’.

What is the beach story situation?

To sum it up in one sentence, it was an incident that completely destroyed the arcade market, which was barely enduring with a breath of fresh air as the PC was commercialized.

2002.

Ahead of the World Cup, gift certificates were allowed to be sold as prizes in Korea, and these gift certificates served as a decisive factor in the explosive growth of gambling-type game centers.

Thanks to that, the pachinko machine ‘Beach Story’, which was released later, also gained sensational popularity.

I avoided the law by paying prizes rather than cash for betting compensation, but gift certificates could be cashed out, so in the end, they were no different from casino chips.

It was also easy to manipulate the odds, so players could never earn money in reality, and as many people tried to commit suicide by wasting their fortunes, the beach story was on the cutting board of public opinion.

Aside from that, it was heavily involved with political events, and the controversy peaked without knowing how to cool down.

If you want to know how serious the damage was at the time, the distribution of gift certificates issued until one year before the incident occurred was worth 30 trillion won.

For reference, 30 trillion is an amount that is close to 30% of the total budget of the Korean government for that year.

And serious problems started when ‘Beach Story’, which was no different from gambling, was tied into the category of games.

Because the two of them, who are different in nature, are tied to the same category, the Korean society’s perception of games has penetrated the bottom and sunk underground.

The countless deliberation, censorship, and oppression and regulation that arose with the revision of the game law are still eating away at the growth of the game industry.

“The more I think about it, the more I get angry.”

Whoop-

Repeatedly exhaling deeply, he regained his peace of mind.

Thanks to that goddamn incident, the Game Management Committee was launched, but the question is whether the current board of directors is fulfilling its role while properly understanding the purpose of its establishment.

They are putting a blue label on Ether or Hunter, a decent 12-year-old game, so how can they play their roles properly?

A nose ring when worn on the nose, and an earring when worn on the ear.

That is the current deliberation method of the Office of the Registrar.

This is a possible situation because the Government Commission has full authority over the green and blue grades.

“If you want to kill them, you have to touch the Ministry of Culture and Sports… “

The Game Management Committee is an ‘other public institution’ under the Ministry of Culture and Sports.

In other words, it is not easily privatized or abolished due to the nature of an institution established for public interest, not private profit.

Even if it is said that it draws aggro as much as possible and makes the public officials guilty of high treason, it means that one decisive shot is still lacking.

“At best, it is a major restructuring, but even that is not very satisfactory… “

In frustration, I tapped the desk with the tip of my finger.

How can I get rid of that obstinacy?

Ziying-

While I was immersed in contemplation for a while, the cell phone in my pocket vibrated loudly.

I took out my cell phone and answered the call.

“This is Sungwoo Kim.”

-CEO! This is Park Yoon-sung!

“Have you finished editing?”

-The 5-part sniper of the government commission has just been edited.

“Wow, you finished so quickly.”

-This is thanks to the well-organized materials sent by the CEO hahahaha!

“Kuhmm… “

Of course it’s because I didn’t organize it.

I expressed my heartfelt gratitude to Park Ji-soo, team leader of Taewoong Group’s Strategic Planning Office.

“Once I get it. I will upload it when I text you.”

-Okay!

I received the documents from team leader Park Ji-soo on the same day that Aetherna Hunter was judged to be a green card grade.

In the documents delivered, the numerous karma accumulated by the Registrar’s Commission over the years were organized.

From all sorts of allegations of embezzlement to all kinds of corruption and countless absurd remarks.

“This is enough to draw attention from the political world… “

The Aetherna Hunter community has already become a mess with gamers who are properly angered by the move of the Commission.

And if I take the lead and succeed in uniting tens of thousands of furious gamers, the political world will undoubtedly pay attention.

If that happens, at least one or two members of the National Assembly who need the support of gamers will take off their feet and stand on the side of gamers.

“Not enough.”

But it’s not enough.

How did I bring Aetherna Hunter to Leonplay?

Do you treat them as yagem, giving reasons that you don’t dare to eat those ethers or hunters?

Go further and treat holy adult games as pornography, saying they are disgusting?

“As expected, it’s not enough.”

No matter how I think about it, the result I came up with is the same.

Sending the reputation to the abyss and destroying the prestige of the institution is not enough to quench this anger.

A huge mace is needed to shake the very foundation of the organ.

A giant mace that completely crushes the top of the heads of those who don’t even treat gamers as members of society.

“Gaegwanwi… Public institutions… Ministry of Culture… “

As if there is fog in my head, I feel like I can see something, but it’s blurry, so it’s just frustrating.

I went into the Aetherna Hunter community and browsed the posts to freshen up the atmosphere.

“What is this again?”

I clicked on the post with the aggressive title located at the top of the recommendation.

[Title]

Aren’t you guys trying too hard for the government officials?

[Text]

Has the Commission ever violated the Constitution?

Did you threaten the people by not filing complaints because there were a lot of complaints?

Or did you cut the complainant at the entrance and sue?

Did you block the log-in so that the customer could not check the processing details?

Did the employee even mine cryptocurrency while working?

Do you want to collect more fees by screening the PC and console versions separately?

Is the deliberation fee more expensive compared to other countries?

Did you even refuse to take minutes?

Did you burn more than 20 million won in tax while visiting restaurants in the name of business promotion expenses?

…

…

…

…

…

…

Which country’s public institutions are like this?

Ah lol

You guys are really telling me to do nothing lol

Poohup.

As soon as I saw the content, I burst out laughing.

Anyway, these are phenomenal achievements no matter how many times you look at them.

I was the flagship of the endless scroll.

There are still plenty of things that aren’t even listed there.

– Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

– There is no end to peeling like a real onion hahahaha

-Even if dirt gets into my eyes, I absolutely cannot ask for f*cking ether or Hunter!!

– Gaechu hahahaha

-Are they unconstitutional?

ㄴㅇㅇ The act of censoring publications itself is unconstitutional.

At this level, it’s strange that it still hasn’t entered the coffin.

-(Link) Everyone, go to this post to sort out complaints and do as it is written whenever you have time.

What should I do if I eat Sue? hahahahaha

I smiled and scrolled down to check the comments.

While looking through the comments for a while, one comment caught my eye intensely.

-It’s not bullsh*t, it’s the public institutions that use power against gamers. They have to suffer the same way to come to their senses.

Obviously, the comment itself is an ordinary comment.

However, when I saw the word ‘gap-jil’, a part of my heart tickled.

Let’s think slowly.

A way to simultaneously attack the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Ge Gwan Commission.

It seems impossible, but the solution is closer than you think.

“…… Budget.”

Budget(豫算).

Even those who boast of omnipotent power do not hesitate to fight bloody battles, even risking all sorts of indecent acts if they stand in front of the word ‘budget adjustment’.

There are many cases in which unrelated projects are forcibly linked in order to get even a little more budget.

Then, where is the super-powered administrative agency that holds the master key of the national budget?

“Ministry of Strategy and Finance.”

The Ministry of Strategy and Finance is in control of the country’s money lines and policies.

No matter what kind of plausible policies the ministers of each department come up with, it is useless if the Ministry of Strategy and Finance ignores them.

The Minister of Strategy and Finance is not ranked third in the executive branch for nothing.

And I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or not.

Minister Jeong Hae-sol, the current Minister of Planning and Finance, is close friends and in-laws with his great-grandfather, Chairman Kim Dong-ho.

“Taewoong Group, isn’t this a complete cheat key?”

This will work unconditionally.

Will the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism try to keep the Gwanakwi even while handling the checks from the Ministry of Strategy and Finance?

Well, I guess not.

I will do my best to keep my head from being crushed by the hammer of budget cuts.

Once this is the case, I have decided what to do.

Exposing the incompetence of the Gwanwi to the world for the justification of budget cuts.

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism sets a trap so that they don’t escape.

You just need to keep adding firewood so that the gamers’ anger doesn’t cool down.

“So who wants to touch my game?”

I tapped on my cell phone to find the contact information for Chairman Kim Dong-ho.

I muttered to myself as I called him.

“I have to show you what real power is.”

Too-

I raised the corners of my mouth as I listened to the regular ringing tone.
