Ch.210205 – For Children

Game companies have an obligation to take active safety and protective measures for players.

The government has imposed dual obligations on game companies in case capsules fail to detect users’ health abnormalities.

Examples include policies such as requiring reconnection after playing for more than 12 hours, and collecting health data according to terms of service for users who play abnormally long.

A clause that has become practically obsolete—no one pays attention to it, nor does anyone actively enforce it.

However, once you’ve earned public disfavor, it’s difficult to recover.

‘How could a game company not know that a one or two-year-old baby was playing a game without even a language module?’

Riot Games felt wronged.

For years, people protested against collecting any user personal information, but now they’ve completely flipped their stance, which was infuriating.

[LMAO League got suspended for 10 days with a 40 million won fine hahaha]

From now on, don’t call them LoL cockroaches, call them ^40mil^ puppies lol

[Comments]

-40 million is too little, they should be hit with 4 billion

-Someone almost died without a trace and they only get fined 40 million?

-Well done Kim NoName! Destroy those 10 million unemployed with your own hands!

-Butterfly effect, damn

-What happens to the league that’s going on now? Will they let it continue?

└ LCK schedule gets pushed back two weeks too lol

└ Lol that’s really frustrating

-This is ridiculous? Is your World of Arsheria innocent? If we’re being honest, NoName playing on Nightmare difficulty is also the game company’s fault. Why are you only strict with us?

└ Name did a name

└ Oh

└ Oh… interesting…

└ If an underage person drinks at a bar, you punish the minor, not shut down the establishment, right?

└ Fact) Until 15 years ago, bars would get suspended if caught serving minors

└ Yeah, whatever ^40000^

But their fun watching others’ misfortune didn’t last long.

[IT’S OUT!!!!! World of Arsheria suspended for a month + 280 million won fine LMAO]

Should we be laughing, guys? LMAOOOOO

[Comments]

-The pot calling the kettle black lol

-The audacity lol how did they think they could lobby in Korea

└ This isn’t America!

-Let’s go invade the WoA gallery~

-Unemployed vs Unemployed, my heart is pounding

└ Ah, please call me the Time Slayer

-I went to see my neighbor’s house collapse. But when I came back, my house had collapsed too! I burst into tears…

-So what do we do now?

-Wait, Wearsoft lobbied the Game Rating Board? Why? What for?

After Legacy of Legend’s suspension incident, Wearsoft Korea took thorough precautions.

They diligently gathered evidence that Name accessing age-restricted content was truly beyond the company’s control.

But the Fair Trade Commission’s hammer struck in an unexpected area.

[FTC slams Wearsoft with 280 million won fine for orchestrating ‘Game Rating Board review lobbying’]

The cruelty and violence of WoA’s Nightmare story that had been hushed up.

A large-scale prosecution investigation descended along with the fine after it was revealed that substantial bribes were paid to secure a 15+ rating.

Just like that, pro gamers, game industry personnel, and internet broadcasters all became unemployed overnight.

[What is NoName doing these days instead of streaming?]

People were curious about Name, who could be considered the butterfly effect’s instigator.

She occasionally appeared in World of Arsheria, but never went on to stream.

Viewers were extremely worried about when her health would improve, and whether she might die somewhere without anyone knowing.

One summer, when mentions of Walpurgis had become more frequent than news about Name,

A Twissy notification quietly announced Name’s return.

[Travel & Outdoor Activities – Nice Boat]

[Stream Time – 0:01:38]

[Viewers – 1027]

-Finally back, No Tae-sik!!!

-Travel stream?

-Don’t tell me it’s an outdoor stream?

-What’s this situation now lol

-IloveNoNameIloveNoNameIloveNoNameIloveNoName

-This doesn’t look like virtual reality… does it, teacher?

-Name-chan! Didn’t you miss your aunties?

-Nice Boat is lmao

High demand but only one supplier.

Even without studying economics, viewers were acutely feeling the harmful effects of monopoly.

-It’s the ocean!

-What? A real ocean?

-Name, where are you?

-Please say something, anything crying

-Whoa she’s actually on a boat!

└ Wait, it’s not the phone shaking, it’s the ground moving lol

└ Foreshadowing in the title, damn

The viewer count was increasing at a frightening pace.

But Name’s response was, as always, unfriendly.

After enjoying the sounds of sea breeze and waves for a full ten minutes, viewers were spamming emotes about falling asleep.

And finally, Name’s voice lifted all their heavy eyelids at once.

“How’s this hobby? Makes me look quite grown-up, doesn’t it? Ah!”

She seemed to have dropped the phone that had been filming only the sea, as the scenery spun around before facing the ground.

When Name picked up the phone again, the screen showed the vast ocean, a small pilot boat tied to land, and a wooden fishing rod precariously placed on the railing.

-First stream after return is outdoor, and fishing at that, legendary lol

└ Does this mean she’s going to bait all her viewers?

-Really unpredictable

-Does Name like fishing?

-Where is this now? Feels like the West Sea;;

-What a crazy combination

[‘★LG Chaos’ donated 10,000 won!]

-It’s been a while, Name! Thanks to you, I got another vacation!

“Ah, hello Chaos. I heard about it. Actually, I just found out. For some reason, they say we can’t play LoL and WoA right now.”

-It’s because of you lol

-Shameless Name

-She knew all along

-NoName’s influence is real? Taking down two games instantly. NoName is truly legendary.

-Why are there so many streamers in this room?

└ LoL and WoA streamers lost their jobs and are wandering around lol

└ Viewers with Twissy Partner badges already exceeded 20, damn

Streamers who lost their jobs belatedly turned on Just Chatting, but having a live conversation with viewers without prepared content was never easy.

So after hesitating and hearing that Name had started streaming, they flocked in droves.

[‘★Miroking’ donated 10,000 won!]

-I was one game away from Challenger… one game away from Challenger…

[‘★Shunyang’ donated 20,000 won!]

-Name, the ocean looks refreshing! Have you caught many fish?

-Is this a stream or a social club;;

-Star of stars, NoName, damn

-Complete scene-stealer, how can you resist this lol

└ An eight-year-old cute girl wearing a straw hat doing a fishing master concept outdoor stream? Even the King of Hell couldn’t resist this lol

-ShowYourFaceShowYourFaceShowYourFace

-WhereIsNamesFaceItsTooColHere

-If streamers donate like this, we feel too awkward to donate

It was a moment when regular viewers felt embarrassed to donate after the consecutive donations from streamers.

Suddenly Name yanked the fishing rod even though there hadn’t been a bite.

The crude pole made from a long branch couldn’t withstand the current and snapped in the middle.

She irritably threw the fishing rod into the sea and got off the boat with her camera.

The camera, which had only been showing flying seagulls, turned toward Name for the first time.

“…”

Eyes half-squinted because of the hot sunlight, plump cheeks that looked like they would bounce back if pressed.

Especially her hair flattened under the straw hat and her slender limbs were enough to remind everyone that this girl was only eight years old.

-Wow

-Wow

-Kyaaaaaaa

-Wowkya… ah yes, that’s enough lol

-Yes, this is it crying We wanted this

-God exists and He is fishing in the form of NoName

-I waited 15 minutes to see this lol

└ But… you still love it… right?

“I’m not for children.”

-What?

-?

-???

-If you’re not a loli, who is?

└ I don’t think that’s what she means…

-Adult child, damn

└ That sounds like a really dangerous term lol

Name picked up a reasonably thick branch from the roadside,

“Let’s go to the mountain.”

She headed to the hill behind, taking the viewers with her.

* * *

While Arin and Minwoo were taking turns enjoying Fall Story’s Terra Burning,

Editor Seo Ma-ru sent me a message saying our livelihood was being threatened.

[Seo Ma-ru: Big trouble, Name!]

[NoName: ?]

[Seo Ma-ru: Our income stream is cut off! (rice cooker emoji)(rice cooker emoji)]

Income stream cut off.

Is it because I haven’t been streaming lately?

That didn’t seem right since I had sent recorded videos of playing WoA with Adella, and the highlight edits were getting decent views from what I remembered.

[Seo Ma-ru: I think your VTube account has become a kids channel. Every video we upload gets flagged as children’s content.]

[NoName: ?]

[Seo Ma-ru: Kids channels don’t get personalized ads so we’re making less than 5% of the usual revenue.]

[Seo Ma-ru: (dizzy emoji)]

Just because a child appears doesn’t necessarily make it a kids channel.

So I looked at the kids channel criteria that Maru sent me.

There was a high probability of being flagged by the algorithm if real children appeared or if toys, children’s songs, or children’s animations were shown.

He pointed to my previous math proof videos as the cause.

But honestly, how is that children’s content by any standard?

My concerns deepened.

Certainly, a channel featuring a young child could be misunderstood as being for children.

I thought carefully about how to escape this misunderstanding and remembered Professor Cheon’s favorite hobby, fishing.

It’s also an activity that children absolutely hate.

But I had no experience fishing in my previous life, and simply attaching a worm to a branch with thread wouldn’t easily catch fish.

People should stick to what they’re good at.

‘All ages… all ages… Ah!’

Documentaries are perfect all-ages content, aren’t they?

And the ‘Man vs. Wild’ channel flashed through my mind.

For someone like me who had more nights sleeping on cold dirt covered with fallen leaves than in a warm bed, this was the perfect content.

No, in this field, I could confidently call myself an expert.

It would be perfect to hand over to Maru later as evidence for our appeal.

I headed straight for the mountains.

Halfway up the mountain where the undergrowth was thick, I found a snake climbing a tree.

“Look, this is a rat snake.”

-Is she seriously…?

-Name, that’s a snake!!!

-Nooooo that’s not for eating!

-Kyaaaaaaah

-Save Name! Save Name! Save Name!

-It’s really a snake! Don’t catch it! Don’t put it near your mouth!

-Isn’t it venomous? What if it’s venomous?

-Name isn’t a baby… Name even catches snakes…

-If someone who can’t tell right from wrong and just grabs whatever they see isn’t a baby, then what is?!
