Furthermore, the same game cannot be placed on the same featured spot twice within two months.

In other words, even if a game is consistently ranked first by the appraisers, it cannot remain in the best featured spot indefinitely. Instead, it needs to rotate among the top eight positions.

In other words, to secure the best featured spot on the website, a game must be in the top eight overall.

At the same time, since various game categories also have their own featured spots, some niche genre games can thrive within their respective categories.

To allow the appraisers to better anticipate the arrangement of current featured spots, there will be a dedicated preview portal on the platform. It will clearly display the featured spot each game will be assigned for the following week, based on the current number of votes from the appraisers, as well as the number of votes received.

If the appraisers feel that the outcome is debatable, they can modify their votes.

While an individual's vote is not enough to directly rewrite the final arrangement of featured spots, changes will occur as more people modify their votes.

Finally, there are the appointment and removal policies for the appraisers.

When selecting the appraisers, a number of substitute appraisers equal to 50% of the appraiser count will also be selected.

Every player has the right to supervise and report appraisers. If an appraiser engages in inappropriate behavior, such as consistently arranging featured spots for specific trash games, is suspected of engaging in private deals, or includes overly strong personal biases in their game reviews, failing to objectively evaluate the game, players can write detailed reports listing evidence and report them.

When the number of reports reaches a certain threshold, and the official investigation confirms the reported issues, the appraiser will be dismissed and replaced by a substitute appraiser.

The dismissed appraiser will have a significant amount of weight deducted. This means that their priority will be lowered in future appraiser elections, but they can still participate in the selection process again by writing more high-quality game reviews.

The weight deducted will increase with each dismissal, until they are completely unable to participate in the appraiser elections.

…

After reading the details of the appraiser system, Yan Qi couldn't help but exclaim: "As expected of Chaolu Games Platform!"

This appraiser system can be seen as an extension and supplement to the delegation of power to the players.

Not only is the power to remove games handed over to the players, but the power to arrange featured spots is also handed over to the players as well!

Moreover, this system seems quite reasonable?

Allowing all players to jointly control the right to remove games is actually guaranteeing the lower limit of the entire platform. When a game is made too poorly and is spurned by most players, it must be removed for rectification. This can effectively eliminate trash games from the platform.

However, this method cannot be relied upon to raise the upper limit of the entire platform.

Especially when arranging featured spots, popularity cannot be the only indicator.

After all, games are not simply a form of entertainment; they are also a unique art form with a certain threshold. Many times, games with profound meanings and complex gameplay will not be popular with the masses at first. They must be appraised and analyzed by a small group of players before the gameplay can gradually be accepted by the public.

Many of President Pei's games, from being misunderstood at the beginning to later ascending to the altar, have gone through such a process.

The featured spots represent the taste of the entire platform. If players vote one person, one vote, then the final results will definitely be mainstream games. Those niche games with high artistic value will have no chance to stand out.

The appraiser system can achieve a good balance between popular tastes and the depth and artistry of games, essentially raising the upper limit of the entire platform's taste.

In addition, the appraisers are constantly supervised.

If ordinary players feel that an appraiser is biased or has accepted bribes, they can write reports. After the number of reports reaches a certain level, the official team will intervene and judge.

This is equivalent to a double insurance: only when both the players and the official team believe that an appraiser has a problem will they be dismissed, minimizing the occurrence of malicious reports.

Of course, Yan Qi also clearly knew that if this appraiser system was to operate perfectly, one thing was essential: a detailed grasp of player identities.

There will definitely be players, or studios, who see the huge "business opportunities" hidden behind the appraiser system.

You should know that the featured spots on many game platforms have clearly marked prices, and they are not cheap. If bribing an appraiser can get your own game a good featured spot, that's definitely a profitable deal.

Therefore, the platform must segment each player.

Which are real players, which may be small accounts opened by studios, and how to maximize the authenticity of the data are all issues that the staff of Chaolu Games Platform need to consider.

This is somewhat difficult, but it shouldn't be completely impossible. After all, Tenda's TPDB website has set a good example.

"It seems that there is a master strategist behind Chaolu Games Platform."

"This appraiser system is definitely not something an ordinary person could come up with!"

Yan Qi couldn't help but silently increase his evaluation of Chaolu Games Platform.

…

At the same time, Pei Qian was also in his office, reading the announcement from Chaolu Games Platform regarding the appraiser system.

"Oh? Pretty efficient, the announcement has already been released."

Li Yada sent this announcement over as soon as he arrived at work this morning.

Pei Qian took a look and, seeing no problems, told Li Yada to release it directly.

Of course, after the announcement is released, the appraiser system cannot be implemented immediately. First, preliminary preparations must be made, including modifying the game platform program, optimizing the algorithm, pre-screening the appraisers, and encouraging players to write more game reviews, etc.

It will still take some time before this system is officially launched.

But for Pei Qian, how the appraisers are selected is not important. The key is whether this system can achieve his expectations!

A small number of appraisers control most of the featured spots on the entire platform. Ordinary players, appraisers, and game developers will definitely erupt in many conflicts over this part of the benefits.

At that time, if the players fight each other crazily and fall into chaos, wouldn't that disrupt the order of the entire Chaolu Games Platform?

Pei Qian felt that this was simply the same principle as "Two Peaches Kill Three Warriors."

Just as he was happily looking forward to the bright future of Chaolu Games Platform, there was a knock on the office door.

Looking up, it was Yu Fei.

"President Pei, the new announcement has been written. Please take a look."

Pei Qian reached out and took the printed announcement, quickly browsing the entire text.

After all, Yu Fei is a novice, and his work efficiency is not as high as Li Yada's. It was the same announcement, but Li Yada's side had already shown it to President Pei and released it, while Yu Fei's side had only just completed it.

But it doesn't matter, Pei Qian likes Yu Fei's unprofessionalism.

This announcement was generally written according to Pei Qian's instructions last Friday, and it only mentioned two things: first, due to internal communication and work coordination errors, the update of *Eternal Reincarnation* did not achieve the expected results, which caused some distress to the players, and they deeply apologized; second, the combat system of *Eternal Reincarnation* will be updated in advance this Friday, with other updates remaining unchanged.

This apology was vague, only saying that there were internal errors, without saying whose fault it was or where the errors were.

This was also what Pei Qian specifically instructed.

An apology is necessary, after all, the update plan has been adjusted, and a sincere and reasonable explanation must be given to the players.

Pei Qian is not worried that admitting his mistakes will affect Tenda's glorious image. It would be better if it did.

But some details do not need to be explained so clearly. It is not important whether the blame lies with Yu Fei or Meng Chang. Some things involve Tenda internally and should not be discussed in detail.

As for the "Tenda falling from grace" that many people are talking about outside, Pei Qian doesn't care at all.

He has only one thought: Speak auspicious words!

If it can really fall from grace, that would be great. Wouldn't that mean that Tenda Games can finally start losing money?

Forget it, this kind of good thing is mostly impossible to happen. He's just daydreaming.

Pei Qian nodded, "No problem, release it."

Yu Fei took the announcement and said with some guilt: "Also, President Pei, I want to apologize for my work mistakes last week."

Pei Qian didn't care at all about the bad reviews and curses online, and was even a little happy, but Yu Fei obviously didn't think so.

He felt that Tenda Games had a great reputation, and so many projects had never had any problems. As a result, he made a mistake as soon as he took over, and it was a relatively stupid mistake. This was really too much of a disappointment to President Pei's expectations.

Although Meng Chang had comforted him last Friday, Yu Fei was still very guilty when he saw President Pei again and wanted to apologize.

Pei Qian immediately said seriously: "Work mistakes? What work mistakes did you make? That's clearly Meng Chang's problem."

"His promotional plan was unreliable in the first place. If it weren't for that small oversight, exposing the problems in the promotional plan early, the entire plan might have caused even more serious consequences."

"So, not only are you not at fault, but you're also meritorious!"

"You don't need to dwell on this issue, just work according to the previous process. Well... I'll give you a raise later."

Yu Fei nodded in astonishment: "Uh... okay, President Pei."

Leaving President Pei's office, Yu Fei felt even more guilty.

"President Pei is really too generous. To comfort me, he even shifted all the blame onto Meng Chang."

"However, this just shows the difference in my status from Meng Chang. Because Meng Chang is a senior employee, President Pei feels that he can withstand more pressure, so he let him take the blame to take care of my feelings."

"Including this announcement, it didn't name me, the person primarily responsible, but instead vaguely glossed over it. This is all a kind of protection for me."

"My mindset was wrong before. I always felt that I was just a substitute, so I didn't put 100% of my effort into my work..."

"I can't continue like this in the future. I can't betray President Pei's trust and expectations!"

Yu Fei silently made up his mind.
