After the "GTA Special" episode of "Today's Current Events Debate" was broadcasted, it immediately had a huge impact on the internet, especially in the entire gaming industry.
As a hot topic, GTA represented the development of virtual reality games. This involved more than two billion gamers from all over the world.
In the parallel world, there were a total of 2.8 billion active gamers last year. Although only a portion of them were VR players, and the number of next-generation VR players who purchased the Matrix VR pod was even fewer, it was undeniable that the gaming industry was a huge market in the parallel world.
After all these years of development, mobile games and VR games went hand in hand, squeezing the PC games market together. The development of the entire gaming industry was still diversified, but it was undeniable that VR games were the future of the gaming industry.
Mobile games and PC games won't disappear, they'll just follow behind VR games to meet the needs of different players.
Therefore, Chen Mo's statement was equivalent to his own vision for the future of VR games. With Chen Mo's current position in the video game industry, his opinion carried quite a bit of weight.
The attitude of the gamers, the media, the Game Committee, and other industry leaders …
These different viewpoints intertwined, to a certain extent deciding the future of VR games in China, and even the world.
The parallel world was a world where technology related to video games was rapidly developing, especially with Chen Mo's technology behind the scenes. The rapid development of these technological industries will bring earth-shaking changes to people's lives, and will change people's living habits in a short period of time.
This was different from Chen Mo's previous world. The development of technology in the video game industry was slow, to the point that it was at a standstill for a few years. Although there were a few good games released every year, people's main platforms were still limited to mobile, PC, and consoles. This slow development of technology made 'discussing the future of the video game industry' less meaningful. It was limited to within the video game industry, and didn't attract much attention from society.
However, in the parallel world, the virtual reality technology in the gaming industry represented a change in people's lifestyles. Restrictions on virtual reality games would affect the development of virtual reality technology, and in turn, affect the entire future … What seemed like an insignificant debate could affect the lifestyles of people in the virtual world in the future.
Therefore, Chen Mo's words were far more important than most people thought.
One could imagine what would happen if Professor Xu's conservative faction prevailed. If GTA was banned and violence was banned in the next generation of VR games, what would the virtual world look like in the future?
Everyone would enter the virtual world together, work hard every day, and save money to buy a house?
A child addicted to games was sent to a virtual world treatment center to get rid of his internet addiction?
Most people work hard for half their lives, yet they still have to empty their wallets to buy a humble abode in a big city?
It was better not to have such a virtual world.
Chen Mo's announcement caused a strong reaction on the internet. The players were actively responding. They were basically fighting for the future, voting on what kind of virtual world they would get in the future.
After this incident, the Game Committee loosened their control over the industry, especially the restrictions on the theme of the game. It didn't mean that they could show all kinds of violence and pornography, but they focused more on overall control, focusing more on the spirit of the work and the reaction of the players.
It wasn't that the Game Committee was open-minded, but in the fight for the next generation VR market, China already had the upper hand. It would be foolish of them to give up the advantage they already had.

Thunderbolt Entertainment's R&D department wasn't idle while GTA was causing a stir around the world.
There were plans for a large scale remake of the original VR games, with updates to come. However, most of these games were just for the sake of emotions, but with the addition of 'next generation VR', they became even more popular.
Gta's online mode was also being developed. They could make use of Gta's existing art resources, so it wasn't hard to do and would be released soon. Gtaol was mainly a platform for GTA players to work together and fight against each other. More importantly, it encouraged players to socialize in game, or continue their relationships in real life.
Gtaol wasn't the final form of the virtual world, it was only a multiplayer mode.
Apart from that, the seaside mansions in Oasis would have a dedicated garage for private cars. Players could buy their own cars in the garage, a small portion of these cars would be models from Gta, while a large portion would buy the rights to the cars in real life. As for the price, it was a thousand times cheaper than the price of gourmet food.
For example, the price of a Maserati LE 350 in real life started at 932400, and could be lowered to 883750 for big customers. In the game, the price would be around 880.
That's right, after spending 6480 + 1280 in the 2D Wives mobile game, one could buy their own Maserati in "The Oasis".
Of course, many of the original cars in Oasis could be imagined, there wasn't even a need to stick to a specific design, as long as it looked cool.
Some people might ask, if Maserati was sold at such a low price, wouldn't luxury cars be everywhere in the future?
Hehe, who told you that luxury cars in real life were the most expensive vehicles in the virtual world?
With a car, there would naturally be other derivative services, such as parking lots, wider roads, and so on. These derivative services wouldn't be as expensive as a car, but players still had to fork out a little bit. It would still be cheaper than in real life. Most importantly, it didn't matter if the car was wrecked, it would be quickly repaired and sent back to the seaside mansions. Players didn't have to buy insurance or pay high maintenance fees either.
Looks like Salent is on the losing end again.

Chen Mo was deep in thought as he looked at this week's development progress report.
He suddenly thought of something and asked Qian Kun, "Is the cinema in the Matrix Shopping Centre open yet?"
Qian Kun nodded, "Yes, when we talked about this last time, didn't you say you didn't know what to put in? Zheng Hongxi and I were thinking about putting in some game CG, but you rejected it. "
Chen Mo shrugged, "What's the point of putting in game CG, the players have seen it so many times. Moreover, it's a virtual world, it's too low to use 2D movies in real life. We'll make one ourselves. "
Qian Kun was confused, "Make one ourselves? How? Buy a movie company? "
Chen Mo rolled his eyes, "Why are you looking for a movie company, it's just a super long CG. Moreover, with the current accuracy of the art resources, it wouldn't be a problem to do it in real time. "
Qian Kun thought for a bit, "Probably like the director's cut of Detroit: Man Change? The kind that players can't control? "
