The Divine Genius’s Game Broadcasting - Chapter 670



Only Krnovel

Episode 670 – The Dignity of No Loss (2)

After the broadcast, at the Metagamer headquarters.

Even though it was late, Shin Hye-rim wasn’t tired. Instead, her eyes opened wide and her mind became clearer.

“No, it really came out?!”

It was thanks to the release of the Perfect Inner Voice DLC that Lee Kyung-bok announced along with the start of the broadcast.

Like any other office worker, she had a strong desire to leave work, but at least not now.

‘Wow, this is totally mine! Thank you, Purple!’

She clasped her hands together and expressed her gratitude, and immediately purchased the DLC. Although she had no talent for games, she had pre-ordered it as a fan and reporter.

‘This is absolutely possible…!’

The type of article she was recognized for, both inside and outside the company, was an experiential reportage. If DLC were game content, it wouldn’t have been article material, but isn’t ‘voice’ the key?

‘This article is going to be a perfect listening review!’

She entered the office capsule with great anticipation.

After that experience.

“…and.”

Shin Hye-rim returned to her seat with a short sigh. She wrote the article as if she was possessed.

“This is crazy.”

A draft written with a satisfied expression.

But with the following reflection, Shin Hye-rim’s expression changed.

“Use this… this…”

Due to the nature of experiential articles, the reporter’s subjectivity inevitably comes through strongly. And so far, her subjectivity has been well-received.

But this time it felt different.

“It’s too much like an advertisement…?”

Of course, if you look at each sentence, they were all honest impressions.

There was not a single lie in the article, which was full of satisfaction and praise. The previous article had a similar tone.

Still, there was one reason why I felt that way.

‘Hmm, this time the problem is the in-game experience.’

The reports that Shin Hye-rim has written so far were articles that she ‘personally’ conducted and reported on.

However, the materials attached to this DLC article were only photos and videos from within the game.

‘Besides, I’m not good at games, so it’s even more limited…’

Moreover, for her, who couldn’t even properly catch a single zombie, all she could do was talk to herself. Could she fully convey her feelings with just this information?

Rather, the value of this DLC may have been diminished.

“Ugh… What should I do…”

As she frowned, a small notification popped up on the monitor screen.

[‘Make the world noisy!’ Decibel’s broadcast has begun.]

This is a broadcast notification from Decibel.

It was thanks to following all of the crew members that Lee Kyung-bok appeared on their broadcasts.

“oh…?”

Shin Hye-rim’s eyes widened when she saw Decibel’s DLC review.

‘If I were alone, it would be subjective, but if I collect reviews from other people…?’

The reason why the article she wrote felt like an advertisement was because it was biased towards the favorable reviews of one reporter. However, if there are more people who feel that way, then objectivity is guaranteed.

“This is it…!”

She immediately asked Decibel’s permission. Upon Decibel’s permission, she clenched her fists and expressed her delight.

“Okay! Now let’s collect DLC reviews!”

She sorted through the clips she had saved and went straight to the Internet. But the places she went to weren’t just Korean sites.

‘I should also look into overseas communities and pertube memberships…!’

Objectivity becomes more certain as the category of the sample expands.

And this was also possible because the core of the DLC was ‘voice.’

‘This DLC is something everyone will enjoy!’

A good voice has no borders.

Late night, Japanese tweety.

Japanese fans talked more about the DLC than the content of the broadcast.

[Japanese Trends]

[#BioCrisis2_DLC (9,770 tweets)]

[#Perfect_Inner_Voice (9,147 tweets)]

[#BioCrisis2 (7,263 tweets)]

There was even more talk about the DLC than the actual game itself, and Japanese fans could easily guess the reason for this phenomenon.

[Hey, you bought all the Chunhachudong members’ DLC right away? Could this be Haru noona’s forced purchase? Or rather, they all like it so muchwww]

[Yattaman www Purple C’s voice kept saying ‘Yatta’ www I burst out laughing right away www]

[Etto, I was surprised when I saw the Try broadcast. All the streamers who bark have Purple C’s voicewww]

[Hey hey, Perfect Voice’s contagion is really bad? It’s worse than Bark 2’s virus!? It’s a voice crisis right now!]

[What, there’s no ‘vaccine’ or ‘antibody’ for Perfect Voice, right? You can’t help but get hooked the moment you hear it?]

This was thanks to many streamers who had a connection with Lee Kyung-bok or showed interest in him, as well as those who purchased the DLC and demonstrated it.

People who originally did not watch Lee Kyung-bok’s broadcasts were hearing his voice on other broadcasts and talking about it.

[Huh? Mr. Purple, you’re not just good at games?! You’re so handsome with that voice! This is so unfair!]

[Hey, hey, I really like Mr. Purple’s voice. Should I just buy this Bark 2 and the DLC? Or, I don’t care about the game!]

[Huh? Hey hey, this isn’t a joke! Didn’t I just buy the DLC!? Seriously…! I don’t really like zombies, but I can’t help it!]

[Ah, so the game called Bark2 is a program that plays Purple’s voice? Is that right? I don’t really play games!]

Among them, there were some who had no interest in the game itself. Most were attracted to Lee Kyung-bok’s appearance and voice.

At this, the fans couldn’t help but laugh. But as the number increased exponentially, the smiles gradually disappeared.

[Huh? Wait a minute! Isn’t the Try category weird? It’s ‘Just Chat’, but why are there so many streamers with Bark2 turned on!?]

[Oh, really. Is this a broadcast where streamers are chatting in Purple C’s voice? They’re not playing games at all, lol]

[Hey, hey, isn’t this a situation where you can just laugh? There might be some weird guys among these streamers!]

[Ugh, I imagined it. Saying dirty jokes or other vulgar things in Purple-ssi’s voice…! That’s absolutely impossible!]

As the number of DLC users increases, wouldn’t the possibility of Lee Kyung-bok’s voice being misused or abused increase?

Fortunately, the concerns that had been slowly rising soon subsided.

[CAP COMPANY_official]

[hello.

First of all, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to the gamers who purchased the Bio Crisis2 DLC products.

However, we would like to inform you that some customers are using this DLC content differently from its original intention.

It was thanks to the official account that recognized the situation and quickly took action.

[The DLC product is related to the copyright of ‘Perfect Play’, who has a contract with us.

According to the terms of agreement that can be confirmed at the time of purchase, there is a restriction that the content in question must be used as ‘game content’.

Please note that using this content outside of gameplay may result in disadvantages.]

[In addition, in relation to the ‘Moral Rights’ of ‘Perfect Play’, there may be cases where the personal/mental interests of the author, ‘Perfect Play’, are infringed.

We ask that you be aware of the above, and inform you that in the event of such a situation, we will use all means at our disposal to protect the rights of ‘Perfect Play’.

Fans did not hide their satisfaction with the developer’s strong tone.

[Hey, hey, are you still checking issues at this hour? You’re doing your job properly, right? www]

[Heh, as expected, ‘partner’? The response to the official collaboration feels completely different…!]

That response was a response, but it was also because the content alone made me realize something new.

Lee Kyung-bok’s voice can now be bought with money.

[Hey, hey, isn’t this something that Purple-ssi can do because he’s so great? But, if Purple-ssi’s personality was originally bad, then it can’t be violated, right!?]

[Ah, if Purple C’s image was bad, then this wouldn’t have happened. Infringement means to belittle, right? Can you belittle something that doesn’t exist?

[What, wasn’t Mr. Purple’s personality already known through the fan meeting? I also participated in the donation (laughs)]

[Really…! Purple C is even a person without loss! Or rather, that’s because it’s perfect!]

He couldn’t even have the dignity he had built up.

Meanwhile, Biocrisis 2 Reddit.

Along with Lee Kyung-bok’s broadcast, articles that had been accumulated in real time were displayed at the top along with recommendations.

[Damn, He knows it! Purple really found him! Let’s get started!]

[Perfect Brain! I feel this time and time again, but Purple is really smart. I wish she would study English with that smart brain…! It would be faster for me to study Korean.]

[Zombies turned into keys, lol! You think you can open the gates with zombies? Purple is really crazy! XD]

[He is insane! That’s why you watch Purple’s broadcast! He ignores everything the developers tell him to do! And it’s perfect!]

[No way…! Shooting an Asura zombie with a gun? And with a ricochet bullet at that!? This is really breaking common sense!]

[President Purple, that’s why he’s called ‘President Bar’. Purple always shows a new way! That’s what a leader does!]

In fact, Lee Kyung-bok’s broadcast clips were taking over the community. Community users expressed their satisfaction and admiration for it.

[Developers are awesome, too. The game still progresses even though Purple makes such ridiculous plays.]

[World’s 1st Game Company. This is why Cap Company is loved. It means that they have even arranged these strategies.]

[There is no perfect bug, XD It must be because the devs experienced it in Bark 1. Didn’t they think of all possible cases?]

As this is a community where most game fans are present, there was praise for the developers as well as Lee Kyung-bok.

But soon a new article caught everyone’s attention.

[Thank You! But, That’s not true… !]

The title wasn’t all that eye-catching. What caught everyone’s attention was the publisher’s account.

[CAP Company USA]

This was because it was a post by the official account of the US branch. Community users immediately confirmed the content.

[We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the players who love Biocrisis for their support.

Officially, we do not ‘support’ the method used by PerfectPlay.

What our development team is preparing is an ‘environment’ where players can play in their own way.

We hope that players will have fun solving the given situations.

However you solve the challenges we’ve prepared, it will require ‘creativity’ from you, the players.

(Of course, there are ‘examples’ prepared by our development team, but you don’t have to follow them exactly. :D)

For the above reasons, our development team does not specifically predict or limit the player’s actions.

Did you solve the problem?

If so, it is up to you, the players!]

People who saw the content left comments with smiles on their faces.

[-This is why I love this company! Cap Company is a company that knows what’s fun!]

[-Creativity, nice word. But I think this case is a little different. Creativity is something you can only think of if you can do it first, right?]

[-Possibility is good for this, because the methods Purple showed were something no one could have thought of. Why? Because no one can do it!]

While everyone was so happy, the atmosphere in the community changed. This was thanks to people who experienced the DLC one by one sharing their impressions.

[Wow, DLC is incredible! This incredible content costs only $5!?]

[I can’t play without Perfect Inner voice anymore. Damn, I tried playing it again with my voice and the game is completely broken!]

[Warning, there is no way back! Once you experience it, there is no going back, so choose carefully. Of course, you will regret not buying it!]

Other community users expressed question marks rather than sympathy in response to the rapidly filling rave reviews.

[That’s too much, I respect Purple, but isn’t Inner Voice enough?]

[Must buy? I don’t think so. I know Purple’s voice is good. But wouldn’t it be less immersive if I used that voice?]

Unlike the Pertube reddit, Bark2 reddit users respect Lee Kyung-bok, but not many are willing to spend money on a voice that has nothing to do with gameplay.

But even so, the fans’ spirit was not dampened.

[Just try! It’s hard to explain in words. You can only know it through experience!]

[2 Hour, right? The stream will refund you unconditionally within 2 hours. You have nothing to lose, right?]

[If you like Perfect John, do it. You can’t tell just by watching it on TV. Perfect John is waiting for you!]

Because of that strong recommendation, some users changed their minds. Soon, they also posted their thoughts again.

[That’s cool! So Cool! This is really different. It’s not just a matter of the sound quality itself being good!]

[Totally Different! The voice is amazing, but that’s not all! The gaming experience itself has changed!?]

Other users were even more skeptical about the appearance that had become a household name for the fans. Could a voice change make such a big difference?

[Perfect Inner Voice Control Me]

Among them, the detailed impressions were recommended and raised. People who were curious couldn’t resist clicking right away.

[Brothers?

This is the real deal.

I won’t say anything more about how good the DLC voices are.

You already know everything, right?

I’ll be honest with you.

It’s my voice coming out of my throat, so it feels strange at first. But I quickly get used to it.

The key comes next.

That’s what makes me want to be a person who fits this voice.

This is a real man’s voice.

This is really my father’s voice.

And that’s Perfect Zone! Guys, you guys are gonna act like Perfect Zone!

But what if Hyung-ssi acts like a fool with this voice?

What are you doing?

Refund me now and get out of my sight!]

At first glance, it was a content that was hard to relate to. Nevertheless, those who had already experienced the DLC left comments as if they understood right away.

[-Yeah! This is Real Thing! This guy is having so much fun!]

[-Dude, You Already Be A Real Man. You Can’t Act Like A Dude With A Perfect Voice.]

[-Guys, Need more words. This is because ‘immersion’ varies from person to person.]

[-Good point! So, while some people may want to ‘get into the game themselves’, others may want to immerse themselves in the ‘character’!]

[-Ok, for example, ‘I’ wouldn’t rescue survivors in a dangerous situation. But ‘Perfect John’? He’d definitely step up! It’s too hard to refuse help with this voice XD]

[-In Summary, Inner Voice puts ‘me’ into the game. Perfect Inner Voice makes me a ‘perfect zone’. Easy, right?]

Lee Kyung-bok’s voice caused a sense of dissonance in their usual behavior and judgment. Everyone understood the situation and decided to buy it after hearing the explanations given by other experienced people in the comments.

Well, everyone has done it at least once.

[Wow, I didn’t expect that. I should try it once. I think I can get the courage if I have the Perfect Inner Voice!]

[Well, I don’t lose anything. And honestly, I just wanted to be Perfect John in the game!]

[With great power comes great responsibility, with a perfect voice comes great action, lol.]

[This is ‘real’ inner voice XD It’s not someone else’s, it’s your inner voice!]

Because I want to be the main character.
