Dressed impeccably and stylishly in a black turtleneck, black pants, sleek black sneakers and a form-fitting, navy-blue long coat, Kyle calmly stood atop the expansive stage.
The shocked expression on everyone's faces at Gas Con, both in the hall and online was evidently pronounced, save for his employees and a few con staffs whom had seen him earlier in the day and backstage.
Still, the young man humbly introduced himself with a warm smile.
"Hello, everyone. It's my greatest pleasure to et you all."
To his words, most in the auditorium could still only watch on in perplexed shock.
"I'm Kyle Kestis. SpawnPoint Studios' CEO." Kyle continued speaking nonetheless as he briefly, gestured to the massive screen behind him where [Tech Wiz]'s gaplay reveal had been showcased.
"Unexpected, I know. And no, it's not a prank or a celebrity stunt I promis-" the young man was still trying to clarify when a massive surge of awestruck roars, slamd right into his eardrums!
At the sa ti, the livestream comnts, exploded exponentially!
-
WakeyWakey: Babies, boys, girls, n and won of all ages! Wake, the hell, up! THE Kyle Kestis is at GAS CON!!!!!!
ConfusedUngaBunga: I don't even know what to say! Kyle's such a huge nerd, I shouldn't even find it shocking that he's the CEO of a whole ass ga studio and yet, here I am with my jaws on the fudgin' floor!!
Chill Guy: Typically, I hate the idea of seeing celebrities at Gas Con but for Kyle, I'd die on the hill that this man, is a godsend.
Bri'ishGar: I've never, and I an never, seen this bloke get stick, no matter where he goes! Are we, in our collective bloody minds, even sure Kyle's a Hollywood celebrity and not just one of us lads that everyone loves 'cause he's such a good-natured chap?!
-
"Guys. Guys. Please, go easy on your vocal chords." Kyle on the other hand, held his palms out in gestured yet genuine concern, noticeably taken aback by the exploding fever of animated cheers!
Yet, the roaring excitent only seed to get louder by the minute as more and more gars stood up from their seats to scream even louder while simultaneously applauding!
At this rate, Griffin was absolutely bamboozled.
He just couldn't fathom or wrap his head around why Kyle would spend so much money on a ga that he as SpawnPoint Studios forr CEO, clearly saw next to no prospect in.
Yet, nothing could prepare him for what he'd witness next.
There they were, GaSoft Studio's younger investors, previously seated around him but now, currently off their seats while roaring alongside the gars in the auditorium!
As for Oliver, he couldn't help but burst into genuine laughter as he watched Carlos, Owen, Dahlia and the other SpawnPoint Studio employees, similarly joining in with the screaming crowd!
At this rate, Kyle just stared on, completely awestruck by the overwhelmingly positive response.
'I thought gars hated the idea of celebrities at Gas Con?! Am I behind the tis, perhaps?!' he couldn't help but wonder to himself as the roars of excitent, slowly began to die down.
What Kyle didn't know though, was just how much he kept underestimating his current popularity and fa as a young, emulatable young man in Hollywood for a lot of the younger generations and a role model the older ones wished their kids strived to be.
Added to that, he had practically been living as a hermit for close to a month now despite his fa surging every blessed day with the ridiculously successful 4.3 million unit sales of Kaleidoscopes in a month!
And so, considering this was his very first public showing in a fairly long while… at least by industry standards, the reception to his appearance was practically t with positive fervor.
And as if that wasn't enough, he had practically stated that he was the CEO of the studio that made such an exciting superhero ga they hadn't seen in years, literal minutes ago!
If nothing at all, that simple reveal alone, had the blood of most gars pumping because in their collective minds, and from what they'd seen of Kyle online several tis, they could infer that he was definitely a comic book and videoga geek, just like most of them were.
Sure most didn't know who [Tech Wiz] was at the mont but now, they'd be actively looking for every reason to read up on it in preparation for the ga's release.
That said, about a minute later, noticing that the roars of excitent had died down considerably, Kyle then spoke, the genuine appreciation in his tone palpable;
"Wow! That's extraordinary! I'm so honored! Thank you, so very much for doing that! But I'm limited in the amount of ti I get to present the gam-"
Kyle's words were cut off by a random lady whom was making a TicToc livestream of Gas Con as she scread at the top of her lungs;
"YOU'RE EXTRAORDINARY!"
"You're extraordinary!" Kyle remarked in kind as he instantly pinpointed the location of the scream with his heightened sense of hearing and pointed directly at the lady who scread even louder in acknowledgent!
To that, a cascading mix of hearty laughter and elated cheers rolled over the entire auditorium!
"You're all extraordinary!" Kyle soon added as another wave of cheers, whistles and roars of elation filled up the hall.
-
High On Euphoria: HE'S EXTRAORDINARY! WE'RE EXTRAORDINARY!
Isekai Gar: Yes. Is this the casket maker? Good! Make my casket today. Why, you ask? Kyle just called us extraordinary so I might as well just die from happiness soon!
tro Man: Kyle's interaction with that lady gives the 'I love you superhero! And I love you random citizen!' vibes!
Sweets & Gas: Kyle's such a sweetheart, really. I just love how he goes straight to also praising everyone else.
-
"Alright! Back to business guys. I wanna tell you sothing." the young CEO quickly pivoted.
"Seriously, I only have two more minutes of allocated ti to present the ga so please, hear out for a few monts, okay?" he humorously but truthfully added, eliciting a light wave of hearty chuckles from most in the hall.
"What you've just experienced, is a sneak peek of our studios', very first triple-A, videoga; [Tech Wiz]."
"It's also a passion project of mine so I look forward to showing you all the full thing when it finally releases this year, on the 5th of August." Kyle stated with a charismatic smile.
To that, another deafening sound of excited roars cascaded over the entire hall!
One could practically see the glee in the eye of most gars in the auditorium as they realized they'd be getting two blockbusters and now the most anticipated gas, on the very sa day!
As for GaSoft Studio, the mont they heard that date, practically every one of their investors and employees on ground, their CEO included, felt a small chill of fear run down their spines.
If before they had been certain they'd trample upon any competition that so much as felt stupid enough to even launch a ga in the month of August, now, they themselves were palpably wary and quite scared.
[Tech Wiz], coincidentally releasing on the sa day as theirs, was definitely, bad news bears.
That said, the gars were happy at the prospect of laying their hands on two big budget gas on the sa day and that really was what, truly mattered.
-
Hehehe Boi: We eating good this August boys! I'm so, friggin' hyped!
AsmonPapa: As a strear, I see this as a big W! More content to make in the year of August.
On_That_Grind: I still can't believe that Kyle Kestis' a CEO at 22. Bro just can't stop catching wins!
Billie Eyelash: Which platforms will [Tech Wiz] be coming to? Hopefully not a console exclusive?
-
Almost as if Kyle had seen the livestream comnts, he coincidentally stated;
"[Tech Wiz] will be coming to PC, VirtuStation 4 and 5, ZBox One, Series Z and Series S."
Once again, another wave of blissful cheers from gars, filled up the hall, albeit of lesser intensity when compared to the previous.
Well, that was until Kyle dropped a bombshell.
"And one more thing. [Tech Wiz] will be retailing at, $39.99. Yes, you heard right, $39.99."
"That's all I have ti for guys. Thank you so much for having and I looking forward to seeing you all co August!" he waved to the audience as he quickly rounded up and headed backstage.
Kyle had gotten off-stage, at exactly 10 seconds short of his allotted ti for his presentation to be over.
Yet, his words, had an almost nuke-like effect in the auditorium as another deafening roar of excitent shook its walls while the livestream comnts, erupted like a volcanic eruption!
-
Boss Baby: I just have to ask, one more ti–– I heard right, right?! $39.99?! Oh baby on a cart wheel, here I CO!
Budget Gar: SpawnPoint Studios be doing the Lord's work by making it easier for to save for both [A Pirate's Odyssey] and [Tech Wiz] in the coming months! Definitely getting both on day one.
CriticalGar: And they called mad for saying $69.99 was too expensive in 2021. Just imagine if [Tech Wiz] is as good as it looks and seemingly plays fantastically as well. All these big studios are gonna have to review their pricings pronto!
Wiz Lord: Yep. That seals it. I'll be buying [Tech Wiz] three tis for both of my consoles and my PC rig. Maybe even get an extra one for a collector's edition if they'll have.
Twitch Spamr: BEST, GAS CON, GAPLAY REVEAL, EVER! Trust , this mont's going to be iconic in the coming years. I can feel it in my bones!
-
Having left the stage, the showcase's general host, soon took the stage to give a few words of formalities before he then finalized the end of the gaplay showcase segnt of Gas Con.
At the sa ti, not even a few minutes had passed before the viral news, hit the internet that Kyle Kestis was a young CEO at the age of 22 and his studio, was producing the first, blockbuster, superhero videoga in years!
That said, as most of the gars, ga devs, ga journalists and reporters made their way out of the auditorium with excited murmurs, specifically because of [Tech Wiz], a trio of indie devs, glanced at each other and then, nodded curtly in determination.
Watching from afar as Kyle, walked up to his employees whom were currently and animatedly cheering in praises at their CEO's presentation, the trio, walked up to them with a professional deanor.
And no sooner had Kyle seen them, he smiled warmly in acknowledgent whilst simultaneously asking;
"Hey guys. So, what'd you say? Think you'll be willing to take up on my offer?"
Next chapter will be coming in a few hours...
