thanks for sprinkling me with a bit of knowledge from your mighty brain. Since you are so generous maybe you can also answer my question? Those things under the headline did not fully answer my question. Thus my question.
@S2Killinit: literally the second and third paragraphs.
"The game is an educational simulation that reproduces the environment of social networking sites to expose the problem of “Yami Baito,” which literally translates as “shady part-time jobs.”
It’s an issue that has been on the rise recently in Japan, with young people lured by criminal organizations and tricked into committing crimes like scams, theft, or even outright robbery. The highly publicized daylight raid of a watch store in Ginza in 2023 is believed to be connected with “Yami Baito.”"
Just admit that you've read only the headline and perhaps the description here. It's fine. You're far from the only one.
Thank you for the response, unlike the wise people up top. But yeah its strange though. I wonder how that works. I mean who would be willing to get paid hourly to do robbery? Why not just do it for yourself if you are committing robbery. Especially in a country like Japan. There is literally no crime there.
Well, I don't know all the details, but the people organizing it are often overseas and somehow get information on who are thought to be lucrative targets; often old people that it's thought have piles of cash in their homes. They then recruit people to do the dirty work, probably for a cut of the takings.
Sometimes, due to poor planning, people with no money are the victims.
They can't do it themselves without the information on who to target.
There is crime in Japan, but it's not so in your face; mostly behind closed doors.
What is an illegal part time job?
