"Dear players and friends:
Hello everyone.
We are very sorry to inform you of some bad news—
The holographic display device, originally scheduled to go on sale on the 24th, will not be available as scheduled.
The future release date is undetermined.
Two hours ago, agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board arrived simultaneously, taking away all bottled media on the grounds of dangerous chemicals.
Again, we must make a clarification:
[Bottled Media] is by no means a 'dangerous chemical'!
We clearly know that two months ago, the holographic device was already in use at the Ningzhou Zhuzhou Dream Experience Store.
So far, no one has been harmed as a result.
Half a month ago, the holographic display device was launched in Xia Country, with more than one million units sold.
Similarly, no one has been harmed as a result.
There is no reason to say that bottled media is a dangerous chemical and that holographic display devices have safety hazards!
Before the media entered the country, we carefully completed all filing work, without omitting any links, and were not questioned in any process.
But after the equipment was delivered, someone immediately came to the door and took away all the media...
We cannot accept such unreasonable and barbaric treatment and are determined to defend our reputation and interests with the law!
Until the FBI and CSB investigation is over and our innocence is restored, the sale of holographic equipment will have to be suspended indefinitely.
—Dream Building Game Los Angeles Branch"
—
The cargo plane arrived in Los Angeles in the evening.
The FBI and CSB also came to the door in the evening and took away all bottled media.
The Los Angeles branch contacted the headquarters, and after receiving Xu Meng's request, wrote and released the announcement extremely quickly.
This caused the five cars of the FBI and CSB to still be moving slowly on the congested road, and this announcement had already arrived in front of their leaders one step ahead of them.
At the same time, it also arrived in front of millions of Dream Building users in the United States.
The players in the United States exploded on the spot:
"What the hell?! Does the FBI even manage games?"
"CSB? You don't manage the chemical pollution from the train derailment, but you come here to manage games???"
"I've been waiting for two months, and now it's being intercepted like this?"
"I even changed the bed to a double bed! Now you suddenly tell me I can't buy it?"
"Dogshit CSB, hate from Texas!"
"Is it possible that this is just a misunderstanding, and the CSB will return the things tomorrow, and Dream Building can still be sold according to the original plan?"
"I think a more likely situation is: they say there is a problem with Dream Building's equipment, but in a few months, Softel and Yaxun will start selling holographic equipment."
"Fcuk Softel! Fuck Yaxun! Fuck CSB!"
…
The reaction of American players was quite strong.
Their distrust of the federal government and large enterprises is almost an instinct.
The announcement from the Los Angeles branch of Dream Building also provided a lot of details, which was extremely persuasive.
But they are afraid of the FBI, but the players in other places are not afraid.
—
The domestic players have complicated feelings.
On the one hand, they realized that there was one less competitor—after Dream Building no longer needs to supply the US market, the supply of holographic equipment in China will definitely increase a lot!
It is easier to buy holographic equipment.
But on the other hand, they can't help but worry about Xu Meng:
What if the holographic display technology is cracked?
Wouldn't that be a big loss?!
Thinking of this, they were extremely dissatisfied with the FBI, CSB, and even the entire federal government for doing this.
Xia Country players are not afraid of any FBI, they will scold when they should scold!
Many people even felt that it was not enough to relieve their anger, so they deliberately bypassed the firewall and ran to the social software of the United States to scold.
They only felt a little relieved after being banned.
In contrast, the European players, who are geographically separated from the United States by the Atlantic Ocean but politically closely connected, do not have such complicated thoughts—
They were so happy!
Dream Building has branches in Germany, the United Kingdom, and France, the three largest game markets in Europe.
However, due to limited production capacity, the first batch of goods was only given to the United States—after all, in terms of the game market, the United States is larger than Europe.
Regarding this, the three branches had previously answered European players, and the European players also clearly knew that they would have to wait until mid-March to buy holographic equipment.
Everyone had already accepted it.
The market is not as big as theirs, and the number of players is not as many as theirs, so it is reasonable for Dream Building to have some inclination.
But now, looking at it, the United States can't sell it?
That's great!
The biggest competitor was immediately reduced, and the goods that originally belonged to the United States can all be sent to Europe!
Although this batch was detained by the FBI, it is estimated that it will not come back.
But there is still the next batch!
There are also the next batch, the next batch, the next batch... all of them are ours!
European players were overjoyed!
Even better, the next day, German players received good news:
The holographic equipment, which was originally scheduled to go on sale in mid-March, has been moved forward by two weeks and can be purchased as early as March 1!
The British and French branches also announced that the release date would be moved forward by one week!
Less than an hour after the news was announced.
[Thank you, FBI] became a hot word on European and American social networks, and it rushed to the hot trend list in one fell swoop.
The American players were so angry.
Plus, after a whole day, there was no follow-up to this matter—
The FBI and CSB neither announced to the outside world that there was a problem with this batch of bottled media, nor did they say that there was no problem.
If you ask, it is "We are conducting testing, please wait patiently for the results."
The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!
American players were even more angry.
Then, on social networks, there appeared a lot of angry words like:
"There is nothing wrong with the somatosensory synchronization suit, what danger can there be in holographic display?"
"If you are really worried that Dream Building's hardware is dangerous, why not investigate the Phantom Scenery game kit together?"
"There is no danger in the media at all! Otherwise, they would not only detain the media, but would not ask about the Dream Building company that sent the media in!"
"That's right! How can there be a case where dangerous goods are detained, but the shipping company is not investigated? If you want to act, you have to act more professionally, right?"
…
These voices suddenly appeared and set off extremely high heat in a short period of time.
Niiiko was confused when he saw it:
"What's the situation?"
"What kind of brain-dead would say such a thing?"
"Are these people really players?"
…
Of course not!
Since yesterday evening, after the bottled media of Dream Building's Los Angeles branch was detained, Herman, the North American CEO of Sony Entertainment, immediately began to take action!
On the one hand, he kept a close eye on the whereabouts of that batch of media, exchanging money for news, and striving for a ticket to the holographic technology.
On the other hand, take this opportunity to crack down on all Dream Building's businesses in North America!
These public opinions are not the key.
—This superficial method cannot deceive discerning people, or even smarter netizens.
But it doesn't matter, Herman's goal is not to deceive netizens and players.
This is just a reason to intervene.
With this reason, the money and connections that were scattered on the other side can promote another thing—
Conduct a comprehensive investigation into Dream Building's commercial operations in the United States!
The money he had scattered before and the connections he had accumulated began to materialize at this critical moment!
Plus the Softel game box acted as a cover.
That's how things came about—
The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) questioned the content rating and user data privacy issues of "Frost Snow Project", saying that it does not rule out re-examining and removing the game from the shelves.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) accused the "Frost Snow Project" card-drawing system of deceptive marketing, inducing users to spend far more money than expected, and demanding that Dream Building compensate 20 million US dollars.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) re-raised the "War Simulator Causes Consumer Fractures" incident, questioned the safety of the Phantom Scenery game platform, and required Dream Building to submit a more detailed third-party safety verification report. If it cannot pass, it may lead to a ban on the sale of related products.
…
In just two days, the situation took a sharp turn.
One official agency after another appeared, almost presenting a siege against Dream Building!
The little room left for maneuver was just to wait for a result.
It's just that this result came much slower than they expected...
—
A biological laboratory in Los Angeles that has never been open to the public has been brightly lit, working continuously for one night and another day.
Several elderly researchers were eating dinner at home when government employees came to the door and invited them to this laboratory.
It's just a pity that their progress is not too optimistic.
Several middle-aged scholars in lab coats sat in front of the instrument, looking at the analysis of the composition and properties of the substances in the "bottled media", and fell into deep confusion.
"Can this thing... really display dynamic holographic images?"
