Chapter 626: First Popularity [2]
Aside from the League game that was more of a duel-type experience, the Federation’s influence seemed to have pushed the virtual gaming industry centuries forward in technological advancement.
This obviously did not make much sense considering their sudden and simultaneous appearance, so most people agreed that rather than calling it something entirely new—though it still was for many—for those in higher positions, it probably wasn’t.
Perhaps they already had something better or wanted to promote a specific narrative, like the Supers League for instance, and decided to release these things now.
For some odd reason, however, nearly ninety percent of all the new-generation games were combat-related.
Only a few companies released something different.
This didn’t cause the excitement to die down though.
Thanks to the funds Michael provided and the Federation’s initiative to encourage household-level virtual training, the game pods came preloaded with several game. The League was, of course, the most popular among them.
Lily grinned as she scrolled through the holographic menu hovering above the pod. "It’s all here—League, War’s Frontier, Abyss Runners, and even the Front War simulation our classmates use to talk about!" Her voice carried genuine excitement.
To be honest, one good reason the game pod had been bought was because of their classmates’ influence. The academy students constantly talked about the League, ranked duels, and VR combat training, making it sound like a daily necessity rather than entertainment. Lily had been easily convinced.
However, even if Lily could be influenced by her peers, why was Jester—someone far more composed and mentally mature—had been influenced just as easily.
