Recently, Genesis Games' stock price had skyrocketed again.
This rally was largely driven by the strong performance of two hit games, Legend of the West and Legend of the East. The market response was strong as the games gained popularity and Genesis Games released enhanced versions.
The vast maps of both games were linked, letting players cross between them with ease. This marked the birth of the first truly global game that blended all civilizations into a cohesive, immersive world.
Genesis Games removed regional server restrictions, allowing players to connect without boundaries. This made it easy for them to explore and experience diverse in-game cultures worldwide.
Even non-gamers were drawn to the stunning fantasy world and gladly spent their money.
The rich game world improved the player experience and boosted Genesis Games' revenue. This shift was immediately apparent in the stock price.
The company's market cap soared from just over 10 billion to nearly 20 billion dollars.
As it continued to thrive, domestic Genesis-related stocks surged—several even hit their daily limits.
Meanwhile, Jack, the founder of Genesis Games, was back in the spotlight for turning his games into a global hit.
Concurrently, Genesis Games also started increasingly focusing its business on the domestic market.
Despite its global success, Zargonia's huge market of nearly one billion internet users couldn't be overlooked. With Drakengard Games acquired and Patrick's downfall, Jack had no reason to avoid the domestic market anymore.
Genesis Games recently leased a new office building in the capital. It marked the official start of its domestic expansion.
Many feared this rising influence from Zargonia could disrupt their political and economic stability. This was echoing the challenges Genesis Games once faced.
Some lawmakers began publicly calling for restrictions on Haven Connect's operations. A few even went as far as threatening to ban the platform outright. They feared that this disruptive potential posed a national security risk.
As concerns spread, Haven Connect encountered the most serious crisis since its founding.
But Jack had anticipated this and prepared a contingency plan.
For the millions of users who loved Haven Connect—a platform where they freely shared their lives—these accusations came as a shock. To them, it was more than just a platform; it was a vibrant, diverse community that had become an irreplaceable part of their daily lives.
