Hey fellers, I know the well’s a bit dry on this and it’s about 4 years past being relevant at all but… how is anyone supposed to suspend disbelief for Sword Art Online? Like ok, say VR Chat suddenly locked all players in-game and prevented them from logging out and introduced fighting mechanics and health points, and if something happened to kill them in-game, they’d die in real life. You’d think that after the first couple deaths, as well as the international realization that hundreds of thousands of people (if not millions) are playing this game, every police force on the planet would be hunting down the developer. And when they finally found him, they’d waterboard and car-battery him until he finally disabled the lock and freed the players. Fuck the “how do they eat if they’re trapped” questions, I wanna know how this shit got so out of hand! With a death toll in the thousands!
It was 10,000 people not hundreds of thousands or millions. The fandom isn’t dead, the anime is currently airing. And much of this is explained in the anime and or novels it’s based on.
Kayaba Akihiko was a very very rich man, with an accomplice and the most sophisticated AI on the planet covering for him. The Japanese authorities never knew where he was until afterwards when his accomplice turned herself in.
