When the U.S. Congress had just announced the ban on Dead or Alive in the U.S., Gastar Electronic Entertainnt did not stop promoting the ga.
Of course, the U.S. sales region was indeed removed from the official sales list.
After all, they had to give the U.S. governnt so face.
And the protesters, seeing that their initial goal had been achieved, quieted down a lot and didn't continue to push the issue any further.
McGill was furious.
He couldn't understand how those loud protesters thought.
His life's goal was very simple.
To live happily and joyfully.
...
...
In this day and age, there were few things that could bring happiness, and video gas and movies were so of the rare things that could.
But even these things were always criticized, and there were always people wanting to stand on a moral high ground to stop him from playing the gas he wanted or watching the movies he wanted.
He couldn't tolerate that.
He decisively joined forces with so other gars to fight back against the people protesting Dead or Alive.
However, they were not very good at arguing.
In the end, he could only sit despondently in front of his computer, zoning out.
The ga he most wanted to play had been banned, and it seed like his enjoynt for the year would be greatly reduced.
Although other gas were also excellent, there was a saying, wasn't there?
The things you can't get are the things you value the most.
And soon, the second half of the year arrived.
Dead or Alive was released on schedule in many regions of the world.
Other well-known gas would take a few more days to release, but now, seeing that Dead or Alive had launched, he couldn't play it, which made him feel incredibly frustrated.
Now, the only thing he could do was watch livestreams of the ga to satisfy his cravings.
At least, before the release of Final Fantasy VII Remake and other first-party Gastar Electronic Entertainnt gas, he could watch the latest livestreams of Dead or Alive.
"Hello, everyone! Welco to my livestream! Today, I'm going to stream a ga for you."
"That's right, as you've probably guessed, the ga I'm streaming today is the one that's officially released today, the ga that players are calling the savior of humanity: Dead or Alive: Xtre Beach Volleyball."
"Here, here it is! I just got my hands on the physical copy of Dead or Alive: Xtre Beach Volleyball. Honestly, this ga is pretty hard to get overseas because it's extrely popular. If it weren't for collecting, I'd have just bought the digital version."
McGill clicked on a random livestream, where the host was excitedly showing off the physical copy of Dead or Alive: Xtre Beach Volleyball.
Seeing that physical copy made him even more envious.
Actually, there were ways to get the physical copy of the ga in the U.S.
There were always scalpers in the world.
But because of the sales ban in the U.S., the available channels to buy this ga were limited, which made the scalper prices ridiculously high.
He really didn't want to waste too much money on scalpers. It felt unnecessary.
Wouldn't it be better to save that money and wait for gas like Final Fantasy to be released?
So now, he could only stare at the livestream, feeling nothing but envy.
"Okay, I've already put the cartridge into the console, so let's take a look at this ga, which is being called the Jerusalem of the gaming world!"
Soon, the host entered the main nu of Dead or Alive: Xtre Beach Volleyball.
"Honestly, the graphics of this ga aren't that great. For Gastar Electronic Entertainnt's technical capabilities, this ga could have been done better. But I guess the developnt team is small, and the overall developnt cycle didn't even last a year. That's why it looks a bit rough. But don't worry, the official team has promised continuous maintenance and updates, and they'll keep adding more female characters with every update."
"Nice!"
"Host, where did you buy your ga?"
"I really want to play this ga! I can't even get it!"
At that mont, many players shared the sa feeling as McGill.
They wanted to play, but couldn't. It was incredibly frustrating.
"The host isn't from the U.S., I'm currently in [＊＊ country], so I was able to get the physical copy of the ga. Even though this ga isn't banned in our country, it's still not easy to get. I had to stand in line for a long ti—over five hours—before finally getting it. If you like the ga, please follow . I'll be streaming it all day today!"
McGill stared intently at the livestream screen.
At this mont, the ga had entered the main nu.
The overall interface looked very sunny and refreshing, with the background set on a sunny island.
The warm background music played at the right mont.
"Alright, let's officially enter the ga."
The host started playing the ga, clicking to start, and the tutorial began.
The character responsible for guiding the player was one of the female characters from Dead or Alive: Xtre Beach Volleyball.
"Wow! This female character is beautiful!"
"What's her na?"
"I think she's called... Kasumi? Such a unique na!"
"Unique na! It really suits this beautiful character!"
"The more I watch this livestream, the more I want to buy this ga. Can anyone tell how to get it?"
"If you're in the U.S., forget about it. You won't be able to play it."
In the comnts section, many people were envious of the strear and discussed how to get the ga.
But since many of them were in the U.S., they could only stare at the livestream.
The players who were able to watch the stream were usually those who didn't want to waste money.
"Hey, speaking of buying the ga, I actually have a recomnded channel. Even in the U.S., you still have a chance to buy this ga, and at the original price too."
Huh?
McGill was montarily stunned when he heard the host's words.
You could still buy Dead or Alive at the original price in the U.S.?
How could that be possible?
"Don't worry, everyone, I'll stream this ga for a while, and then I'll tell you how to get it. If you like the stream, please follow ! Thanks so much!"
