Samsung's CEO was happy, no, more than that, he was overjoyed. He took pride in his company achievement and recently, even more so. They developed the first Full Immersion GamE headpiece. Or FIGE to make it easier.
Such quick advancement was possible because of Stark. The man created the technology but aside for a few industrial and armament projects did not care much about it. He did not event patent it, as if it was below him to do so. Knowing the man, it could be entirely possible.
Yet, as a CEO, Lee Jae-Yong saw an opportunity, something others did not see. Sure, they could try and enter the market for industrial virtual reality but they were already too late. No, he, at the time, he had something else in mind. The video game industry.
Microsoft and Sony recently released their new consoles but in fine, they were the same. Specialized computers with a nice frame and games made for each one to make the special. The only appeal, in his eyes, was the family aspect. Even there, the only one who really understood was Nintendo with their WII.
Samsung would be the first to release a VR headset for gaming. They would try, and deep down, he knows they would succeed.
The only problem was making a game with enough appeal to make the players buy the device. It would be a bit pricier than a regular gaming computer after all, three time the price to be honest. Still, a full immersive experience would definitely make it worth.
He did not have to wait long for a solution to his problem. When he visited his brother's family, his nephew showed him a new game. A game as popular as it was controverted. Apparently it would give those playing it long enough benefit such as a healthier body and even powers. He was a bit doubtful, as he should be honestly but then his nephew showed him a video taken from a Spanish news tv show with a young woman able to send her spirit to see and hear while her body did not move.
How he never heard of it was a mystery nevertheless, it gave him an idea. If his new device could be released with a game developed by the man that made this life changing game, it Would be a success. He did not even wait to be back to work, he immediately sent a message to his assistant to prepare everything.
It would be his mark in Samsung history.

Tony was... he did not know how he felt about his current problem. At first, this game had just been that, a game. But now, it was more.
He already knows The US government was using it to train their soldiers, to make them more. This powers would change everything. From spying to fighting. Already, he had to modify some of the weapons he sold to the army. Because of the banishing power and the better reflex, the explosion needed be bigger and the missiles more discreet to even have a chance to reach their targets.
Same shit for the guns, the time for big ammos weapon was coming to an end. The army sent him a video of a soldier whose skin stopped a bullet, 9mm bullet but still… what would it be in one or five years?
They needed ultrasonic rounds and fast if they wanted to stay above the rest.
Nonetheless, it was fun. He had project keeping him occupied and in a few months, he had a presentation in Afghanistan for his new weapon, the Jericho missile.
Work aside, he also felt the change the game made on his body. He was quicker and his reflexes were even better than ever. He tested them often and as his character kept evolving so did he. Never before had he been so interested in something.
Soon he would contact the creator as the gaming community was calling him. The name made him laugh. More than that, the man was obvious to everything that was happing around him.
He had hacked the camera around the man house and his town only to see an average young man walking around and living life as if he did nothing big. It was kinda fun to see him act so normal. He knew the man was millionaire but he still lived like a regular joe as his father liked to say.
The only thing disturbing him was the cat. This thing just appeared out of nowhere. He had the video saved on different hidden disks and even when trying to understand how it was possible, nothing came out. The cat just popped out of thin air and installed himself in the creator home.
Another problem for another time.
