Chapter 210

The game companies have an obligation to take active safety and protection measures for players.

In case the capsule fails to detect health abnormalities, the government has imposed a dual obligation on game companies.

For example, players must reconnect if they play for more than 12 hours, and health data from users who play abnormally long will be collected according to the terms of service.

A clause that has become virtually ignored by everyone, with no one particularly stepping in to regulate it.

However, once it has garnered public disdain, it was a law that would be hard to revive.

“How can a two-year-old baby be playing games without the language modules, and the game company not know about it?”

Riot Games felt wronged.

It was absurd that while protests demanded not to collect even a single piece of personal information from users for years, the attitude had now completely flipped.

[World of Arseria Gallery]

[Lol, 10 days suspension for League and a fine of 40 million won lol]

From now on, instead of calling them League cockroaches, I think we can just call them 40 million dogs lol

[Comments]

– 40 million won is too little, it should be 4 billion.

– A person almost died without a sound, and they think 40 million is something?

– Well done, Kim Noname! Please bring destruction to those million unemployed with your own hands!

– Butterfly effect, whoa.

– So what happens to the league that’s currently ongoing? Will the league continue?

└ All LCK schedules are being pushed back by two weeks lol

└ Haha, that must be really frustrating.

– Is there no fault with your World of Arseria? If you think about it, it’s the game company’s fault that Noname played on Nightmare difficulty. Why are you being so strict with only us?

└ Noname did a Noname.

└ Oh.

└ Ooh… interesting…

└ If a minor drinks at a pub, do you punish the minor or do you stop the business?

└ Fact: Until 15 years ago, if a minor was caught drinking, the establishment was shut down.

└ Your turn, 40 million.

Their amusing spectacle didn’t last long.

[Legacy of Legends Gallery]

[It’s out!!!!! One month suspension for World of Arseria + a fine of 280 million won lol]

Guys, is it okay to laugh? lololololololol

[Comments]

– They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks lol

– The guts to do that lol how could they lobby in Korea lol

└ Is this America?

– Here we go, let’s invade the Hall of World!

– Unemployed vs Unemployed, my heart swells.

└ Ah, won’t you call me the Time Slayer?

– I heard that house over there collapsed, so I went to take a look. When I got back, my house had collapsed! I cried as soon as I saw it…

– So now what?

– Wait, did Wearsoft really lobby the Game Rating Committee? Why? For what?

After the suspension incident of Legacy of Legends, Wearsoft Korea took thorough precautions.

Noname starting to deal with age-restricted content was something the company couldn’t avoid.

However, the Fair Trade Commission’s strike hit an unexpected spot.

[Fair Trade Commission, imposes a fine of 280 million won on Wearsoft for leading the ‘lobbying for Game Rating Committee’s grading’]

The brutalities and violence of the previously hushed Nightmare story of World of Arseria.

With the revelation that a huge amount of lobbying was done to receive a 15+ rating, a massive investigation by the prosecution began alongside fines.

Just like that, professional gamers, game personnel, and even internet broadcasters all became unemployed overnight.

[What has Noname been doing without streaming lately?]

The future of Noname, who could be seen as the cause of this butterfly effect, drew attention.

Though she occasionally appeared in World of Arseria, she never resumed broadcasting.

Viewers worried immensely about when her health would improve, fearing that she might pass away unnoticed.

By a summer when mentions of Valpurgis became more frequent than news about Noname,

A Twish notification quietly announced Noname’s return.

[Travel and Outdoor Activities – Nice Boat]

[Broadcast Time – 0:01:38]

[Viewer Count – 1027]

– Finally back, Noh Taesik!!!

– Travel broadcast?

– No way, a late-night broadcast?

– What in the world is this situation lolololol

– Love you Noname, love you Noname, love you Noname, love you Noname

– This doesn’t feel like virtual reality…?

– Noname-chan! Did you miss the aunts?

– Nice Boat? lolol

The demand was high, but the supply was one.

Even without specializing in economics, the current viewers were acutely feeling the harm of monopoly.

– It’s the sea!

– What? Is it really the sea?

– Noname, where are you?

– Please say something, anythingㅠㅠㅠ

– Whoa, I’m really on a boat!

└ Is it not the phone shaking but the ground shaking? lol

└ Broadcast cue, whoa.

The viewer count increases at a frightening pace.

However, Noname’s responses were as unfriendly as always.

For a whole ten minutes, viewers listened to the sounds of the sea breeze and waves and flooded the chat with signs of dozing off.

Finally, Noname’s voice lifted their heavy eyelids in unison.

“How about this hobby? Doesn’t it look quite mature? Ahh!”

It seemed she had dropped the phone that had been shooting the sea, and the scenery started spinning before it finally showed the ground.

When Noname raised the phone again, the screen featured a wide ocean, a small pilot boat tied to the shore, and a fishing rod precariously placed on the railing.

– The first broadcast after her return, and it’s a fishing broadcast? Legendary lol

└ Does that mean she’s going to catch all the viewers?

– Really, you can’t figure her out.

– Does Noname like fishing?

– Where is this? It feels like the West Sea;;

– What a crazy combination.

[‘★LG Chaos’ donated 10,000 won!]

– It’s been a while, Noname! Thanks to you, I got a vacation again!

“Ah, Mr. Chaos, nice to see you. I just heard. For some reason, I heard that League and World of Arseria can’t be played right now.”

– Isn’t it because of you? lol

– Brazen Noname.

– lol She knew everything.

– Is Noname’s influence real? She just wiped out two games in an instant. Seriously, Noname is legendary.

– Why are there so many streamers in this room?

└ They’re all League and World of Arseria streamers who lost their jobs and are wandering around lol

└ Twish partner badge viewers already exceeding 20, whoa.

The streamers who lost their jobs belatedly turned on Just Chatting, but it was never easy to engage with viewers live without prepared content.

Thus, they carefully waited until they heard that Noname was broadcasting, and then they flocked to her channel.

[‘★Miroking’ donated 10,000 won!]

– I had one game left to the Challenger… I had one game left to the Challenger…

[‘★Shering’ donated 20,000 won!]

– Noname, the sea looks refreshing! Did you catch a lot of fish?

– Is this a broadcast or a social gathering?;

– Star of stars, Noname whoa.

– Total scene-stealer, how can I stand this? lol

└ An eight-year-old girl in a straw hat, going for the angler concept in her late-night broadcast? The King of Hell couldn’t stand it lol

– Show us your face, show us your face, show us your face.

– Where did Noname put her balls? It’s too cold here.

– If streamers keep donating like this, what are regular viewers supposed to do?

It was an embarrassing moment for the regular viewers as streamers continuously donated.

Suddenly, Noname swiftly pulled on the fishing rod, even though there hadn’t been any bites at all.

A makeshift pole made from a long stick couldn’t withstand the water’s current and broke in the middle.

Irritated, she threw the fishing rod into the sea and grabbed the camera, getting off the boat.

The camera, which had only shown the scene of seagulls flying around, finally turned towards Noname.

“…”

With squinted eyes nearly closed from the hot sun and chubby cheeks that seemed like they would pop if pinched, she looked quite cute.

Especially her head pushed down by the straw hat and her delicate limbs served as a reminder that this girl was barely eight years old.

– Wow.

– Wow.

– Stunning!

– Whoa, that was worth it lol.

– This is itㅠㅠㅠ we wanted this.

– God exists, and He is fishing in the form of Noname.

– I waited 15 minutes to see this lol.

└ Still… you love her, right…?

“I’m not a child.”

– Huh?

– ?

– ???

– If you’re not a loli, then who is a loli?

└ That doesn’t seem to mean that…

– Adult child whoa.

└ That sounds like a really dangerous phrase lol.

Noname picked up a suitably thick stick from the roadside.

“Let’s go to the mountain.”

She headed up the back hill with the viewers.

* * *

While Arin and Min Woo were taking turns enjoying Terra Burning in Autumn Story,

Editor Semaaru sent me a message indicating that our livelihood was at risk.

[Semaaru: We’re in big trouble, Noname!]

[Noname: ?]

[Semaaru: Our food source has been cut off! (Rice cooker emoji)(Rice cooker emoji)]

To have their food source cut off.

Could it be because I haven’t been streaming lately?

That can’t be it since I recall sending a recorded video with Adella playing World of Arseria, and the highlight edit was getting decent views.

[Semaaru: It seems your VTube account has become a kids’ channel. Every video you upload is labeled as kids’ content.]

[Noname: ?]

[Semaaru: Kids’ channels don’t have personalized ads, so the revenue isn’t even 5%.]

[Semaaru: (Tipsy emoji)]

Just because a child appears doesn’t mean it automatically becomes kids’ content.

So, I roughly reviewed the selection criteria for kids’ channels that Maru had sent.

If real children appear, or if toys, children’s songs, or children’s animation is featured, it is highly likely to be detected by the algorithm.

He pointed to the math proof video I had previously uploaded as a cause.

No, how does that at all look like kids’ content?

I fell into deep thought.

If definitely, a channel prominently featuring younger children could be misunderstood as kids’ content.

How could I escape from this misunderstanding? I pondered and suddenly recalled Professor Chun’s favorite hobby, fishing.

It was something that kids hated the most.

But I had no experience fishing, and just tying some thread and bugs to a stick wouldn’t catch fish easily.

People should do what they’re good at.

‘All ages… all ages… Ah!’

Documentaries are perfectly suitable all-ages content, right?

And the ‘man vs wild’ channel flashed through my mind.

For me, who had spent more nights sleeping on cold dirt floors covered in fallen leaves than in a warm bed, it was just the content I needed.

No, in this area, I could confidently say I was an expert.

I could hand over it to Maru later as a basis for my protest.

I headed straight into the mountains.

In the dense foliage, I discovered a snake climbing a tree.

“Look, this is a half-eaten snake.”

– No way…?

– Noname, that’s a forbidden food!!!

– No, no, no, no, don’t eat that!

– Aaaaaah!

– Noname, save me! Noname, save me! Noname, save me!

– That’s really forbidden! Don’t touch it! Don’t even bring it to your mouth!

– Isn’t that a poisonous snake? What are you going to do if it is?

– Noname isn’t a child… Noname can catch snakes…

– If being a child means not being able to tell right from wrong, then what exactly does being a child mean!
