Chapter 311: Commercial Real Estate Development
The gamers who purchased pirated video games in certain parts of Asia believed that KS1 pirated video games were finally fully compatible with their KS1 console, only to be somewhat disappointed. In a particular pre-rendered scene, the characters of the video game they were playing expressed, "Thanks for playing the video game demo! Please buy the original video game from legit store distributors to finally be able to play the full video game! Thank you!"
While these gamers didn't experience the infamous KiShin anti-piracy screen, those who encountered the KS1 anti-piracy measure of KiShin firsthand were left speechless. It may not be as intimidating as the KES, SKES KiShin anti-piracy screen, and not as unsettling, but the in-game characters, whom players had slowly grown attached to, sincerely encouraged them to purchase the original video game from legitimate distributors, convincing some gamers to indeed buy the original one from legit video game stores.
While other gamers wanted to return their half-working KS1 pirated video games to the vendor for a replacement, the vendor refused after testing the video game, claiming it was functioning. Even when gamers argued that the video game would stop working after half an hour or an hour of play, the bootleggers just scoffed, insisting that it was still functional.
With responses like "You are buying a cheap video game, so you should have expected it to be pirated; you buy it at your own risk..." from most bootleggers, gamers found it challenging to counter.

As December approached, the KiShin website forums buzzed with discussions about the upcoming KiShin video game, Grand Theft Auto III. Amidst myriad posts, gamers shared their experiences with GTA I and II.
The majority didn't really like GTA I, but most enjoyed GTA II. Despite expectations for the KS1 video game GTA III, a few gamers expressed concerns about it being similar to GTA I and II. Fortunately, most gamers reassured them that GTA III would be vastly different, according to KiShin Power magazine and the preview of the video game graphics image printed in the magazine for readers to see.
From the gameplay of some GTA I and II gamers, expectations for the upcoming GTA III were already taking shape.

As discussions about the upcoming video game GTA III unfolded, a few weeks after the hype of playable pirated video games on KS1, the topic of KiShin's anti-piracy measures also gained attention.
The conversation revolved around video game characters encouraging players to buy the original game, with in-game characters expressing sentiments like, "Thanks for playing the video game demo..." This intrigued gamers purchasing original video games from legitimate stores.
Some gamers intentionally bought a KS1 pirated video game to witness the interesting scene of the KiShin anti-piracy measure. People were drawn to experiences that genuinely piqued their curiosity, especially when aligned with their interests.
In fact, when the KiShin anti-piracy in SKES was discussed, albeit not as widely as now, it was attributed to the absence of the KiShin website forum in the SKES era. Topics like that weren't as prevalent due to slower internet speeds in 1993.
As the internet industry evolved over time, approaching the end of 1995, internet speeds, though still slower compared to the future, became usable. With waiting times ranging from several seconds to a few minutes, individuals could access websites, including images and even videos if they were willing to wait a day for the video to load.
For those who have experienced and witnessed the anti-piracy measures of KS1, posts like RobotnickOne's "As expected of KiShin..." are common.
GangBoss expresses skepticism: "I was initially suspicious of working pirated video games for KS1. How could KiShin allow it? I felt that even if the pirated video game seems to work at first, there will be a surprise after playing for a while... And it seems like I was right..."
Hard_Snake remarks, "KiShin is much stricter than my dad."
KiShin4ever proudly declares, "No piracy allowed with our boy KiShin... Only legit games in the hood, y'all!"

Meanwhile, in Akihabara's Electric Town, a few KiShin popular IPs establishments have already emerged. These include a Pokémon restaurant and café, and construction is underway for a dedicated building for anime and video games, complete with billboards.
Buildings such as Akiba Gamers or Animate were also under construction. Shin was recreating structures he had visited during a business trip to Akihabara Electric Town in his previous life. Additionally, Shin aimed to emulate the famous maid restaurants from his past life, ones that would eventually be endorsed by KiShin.
While KiShin harbored ambitions to establish numerous properties on their acquired land, Shin had purchased the land in Akihabara Electric Town with the goal of transforming it into a commercial district.
Hence, KiShin invested in modernizing the area's infrastructure, incorporating wider streets, improved sewage systems, and a reliable electricity supply. These enhancements were intended to attract potential businesses and residents.
KiShin implemented targeted zoning, establishing regulations that encourage specific businesses aligned with the desired theme. This includes electronics stores, appliance vendors, and game centers.
In terms of community building, KiShin is gearing up to organize events and festivals, aiming to attract people and foster a sense of community within the district. Events such as electronics expos, gaming tournaments, and music festivals are in the pipeline. KiShin's cosplay event in Akihabara marks its initial foray into community building.
Recognizing its limitations in redeveloping and enhancing the electric town infrastructure independently, KiShin plans to attract major electronics and technology companies to set up flagship stores, serving as anchors for further development. Offering tax breaks or preferential conditions could incentivize their participation.
KiShin has extended invitations to several Electronic Technologies Companies (ETCs), presenting them with the overall plan for the land to generate interest. Surprisingly, companies like Toyota have already shown interest. Other notable players, including Apple, SamStar, and Microsoft, existing partners with KiShin, are also keen on establishing stores in the planned commercial district.
KiShin's growing interest in the commercial real estate development business is evident, particularly with the nearing completion of the long-anticipated Jurassic Park attractions currently under construction in the USA.
