Video Game Tycoon in Tokyo-Chapter 757: We Do Not Accept This Ending!

NieR: Automata's story wasn't over. The sorrow wasn't over.

In the final location of the three keys 9S needed to explore, he met someone familiar.

It was his logistics support operator—an elegant, aloof, and somewhat tsundere older sister figure.

But she, too, had been corrupted by the virus and had become an enemy.

9S's mental state grew even more unstable. No matter what, he couldn't bring himself to kill this person who had once been so close.

It caused him great anguish.

Players' sadness was also building quickly. Many were leaving crying emojis and messages in the comments.

"This is so heartbreaking... I don't want to kill the big sister character!"

"21O... why do we have to kill her? Can't we just run away?"

The streamer girl's eyes turned red again. She was deeply moved by this part of the story.

It reminded her of how she felt the first time she experienced Titanfall.

In the end, 9S didn't actually kill his former friend.

Even though the operator kept begging him to do it, he couldn't.

And the more she pleaded, the more it struck a chord with players and viewers alike. At this point, no one was thinking about 2B's looks—they were completely immersed in the heartbreak and hopelessness of the story.

And this was exactly what Takayuki wanted to achieve.

That meant NieR: Automata had fulfilled its purpose.

Eventually, it was A2 who stepped in to finish off the corrupted operator, saving 9S from having to do it himself.

And with that, the story reached its final Chapter—one full of dramatic, gut-wrenching twists.

The entire plot had followed a carefully crafted path.

The two ghostly loli figures seen earlier? They were, arguably, the real final bosses of the story.

One of them showed 9S the ultimate classified file upon entering the White Tower.

The file revealed that everything—the war, the androids, the mission—was all part of a plan by the machine lifeforms to evolve.

9S, 2B, A2, even the commander—they were all disposable.

Once the needed data for evolution had been gathered, all androids and machines were meant to be discarded.

This truth broke 9S. He descended into madness.

2B was gone. His purpose was gone. All his struggles were meaningless. He was a puppet—just a pawn. It was all for nothing.

Then a choice appeared on-screen:

Help A2 or help 9S.

"Why do we have to choose? I want a happy ending!"

"But we have to pick. What do we do?"

"Let the streamer choose. It's her game."

The girl streamer hesitated—not because she was worried about the endings, but because she wanted to see both.

She figured neither would be a happy ending.

Too much had been set up for tragedy.

And a story like this wasn't going to suddenly go warm and fuzzy.

Still, she wanted to see both sides.

"Everyone, I don't have to pick just one. I can use save files and see both endings, right?"

"Oh right, the SL method!"

"Wait, what's SL?"

"It means Save & Load. You back up your save before making a choice, then after seeing one ending, reload to try the other."

"Whoa! That's genius. Where'd you learn that?"

"Some guy called 'SonyMethodPro' on the official Gamestar forums shared it. The thread's huge, still getting hundreds of thanks daily."

"I'll go look it up later—wait, no, I need to see how this ends first!"

Most viewers stopped stressing over the choice—they could see both.

So the girl picked 9S first—likely the one she wanted to save most.

As expected, the fight ended with both 9S and A2 dying. The credits rolled.

And the audience exploded with emotion.

"Noooo! I wanted a happy ending!"

But imperfect stories are the most memorable.

NieR: Automata's ending left a lasting mark.

After a short break, she reloaded and chose A2's path.

This ending was slightly more hopeful.

A2 sacrificed herself so that 9S could live.

She stood and watched as the White Tower crumbled, quietly accepting her fate.

Compared to the previous ending where both characters died, this one felt easier to accept.

At least someone survived.

The credits rolled again. Everyone was quiet, moved.

"This really is an amazing story. I never knew a video game could have such powerful storytelling."

"Bro, what era are you from? Even late 20th-century games had deep plots. Final Fantasy VII was way more emotional."

"Nah, it was Ocarina of Time!"

"No, it was Dark Sun Knight!"

They began arguing about which game had the most touching story—and most of the games mentioned came from one company: Gamestar Electronic Entertainment.

They had truly dominated the industry.

"Phew... it's over."

There was sadness and loss, but also satisfaction.

2B's beauty had only been the hook. The real magic was in the gameplay and storytelling.

The girl couldn't explain it all, but she felt it—this was a masterpiece.

Gamestar really was the best game company in the world.

Smiling, she looked at the camera:

"Everyone, this journey is finally over. I'm going to take a break and maybe play something else later... Titanfall online, anyone?"

"Yes! We love watching you suffer in ranked!"

She chuckled and went to turn off the game and end the stream.

But suddenly... new text appeared on screen—beneath the credits.

POD153 was speaking.

It was initiating deletion of all records of 2B, 9S, and A2.

A new cycle was to begin.

"Huh?" the girl blinked.

So did the viewers.

"Is this... not over?"

"Maybe it's just an end-of-credits scene?"

"POD153? That's the floating support drone that followed 2B, right?"

"Yeah! Why is it talking now?"

Then the girl's phone rang again.

Still watching the screen, she hesitated, but finally answered—it was the Facebook streaming department again.

"Hi, I saw your stream. You're wrapping up?"

"I was... until this new part showed up."

"I figured. Actually, I have a message to pass on."

"From who?"

"Gamestar. They said... don't end your stream yet. There's still one more ending."

Her eyes widened.

Though the phone call was private, some viewers overheard.

"Did I just hear 'new ending'?"

"No way! This game still isn't over?!"

"Gamestar, how deep does this rabbit hole go?!"

"Streamer, PLEASE don't log off!"

"Yes! Keep going!"

The girl snapped out of her daze.

"I'm playing. I have to see it."

She hung up and turned to the camera.

"Everyone—if you're still with me, let's watch the true ending together. Gamestar just told me... the story isn't over!"

The crowd went wild.

She gripped the controller and launched back in.

Now it was a dialogue between POD153 and POD042—the small drones that had once followed 2B and 9S.

Throughout the game, players had barely noticed them. They just seemed like assist bots.

But now, something had changed.

The world was gone—but the PODs still lived. They were carrying out the final part of the plan: initiating a new cycle.

It all seemed logical... until the saved data for 2B, 9S, and A2 suddenly resisted deletion.

The PODs hesitated.

POD042 finally said:

"My conclusion is... I cannot accept this ending."

"Me neither!"

"I won't accept it!"

"Count me in!"

Not just the POD—viewers in the chat echoed the same.

They refused to accept this ending.
