Opening ceremony of Metropolis- May 4th 2089

"It is my pleasure to introduce the new face of entertainment. Metropolis is a fully aware advanced intelligence system running our new state of the arc game Metropolis. As Ironic as our naming may seem we decided to honor our AI by naming our new game after its lead developer. Anyway with the release of our game and the new VR headsets in the 4 developed countries we will give away 4 free sets of the game and the headsets to impoverished children struggling in the slums of each of the countries. We will not release the names of the lucky children to protect them from the insatiable press. Now I will release the game in 5...4...3...2...1"

Jason Jones sat on the edge of his stairwell waiting for his father to pass out and end his murderous rage. his father had drunk himself into a stupor and came home from the bar to find Jason watching the tv anxiously waiting for the release of Metropolis eager to play the game that mysteriously found its way to his home and away from the kid at his school who apparantly won it due to a terrible home life. Whatever jason thought he was the one who deserved it and as such went ahead and liberated it. The loud breathing of his father was now clearly hearable so Jason went ahead and crept back into his room and took the game and the headset out of his backpack and admired them before connecting them to the world wide internet. Quickly pulling them on with an uncontainable excitement Jason feverently awaited his new life.
