Chapter 1193 The Platform Boss Clearly Doesn't Understand Games!
Because no one really had any expectations!
As game designers, most of them didn't really believe in the players' self-awareness.
It wasn't a misunderstanding or stereotype about human nature; it mainly stemmed from the experience accumulated in the operation of most games, as well as bloody lessons.
After all, games aren't the real world. Many people are willing to pay any price and ignore the consequences in order to pursue a specific experience in a game.
Some law-abiding players might do some unconventional things in the game, such as deliberately not following the recommended process to see what's different, or repeatedly jumping within the rules to see if they can trigger a bug or something interesting.
And some relatively malicious players may maliciously exploit bugs in the game for profit, or even use cheats in online games, seriously damaging the gaming experience of other players for their own temporary pleasure.
Long-term interests? Maintaining the game environment?
That's simply not important to many players.
Anyway, there are so many games on the market now. They can just switch accounts or switch games.
As the designers of the system, game designers must find ways to prevent this from happening from the very beginning, at the underlying design level.
And the corresponding constraint system must consider the players to be extremely extreme, anticipating the worst possible scenarios in advance.
It's like formulating laws in ancient times; the highest standard of punishment must not be missing.
Therefore, most designers don't approve of the Chaolu Games platform's approach. It clearly overestimated the players' self-awareness and overestimated the bottom line of certain players.
The current decision of the Chaolu Games platform only gives these games a chance to revive, but this revival has a cooldown period, and the cooldown period is quite long.
A month before it can be relisted, and it will probably be too late by then.
This system of letting players decide which games can be delisted is obviously unreasonable. It clearly gives players too much freedom without corresponding systems and responsibilities as constraints, so the entire environment falls into chaos.
That's why everyone thinks that this is something only an amateur could do.
The real boss behind the Chaolu Games platform probably doesn't understand games at all and is just messing around with a whim, about to lead the platform into an abyss of eternal doom.
But no matter how much everyone protested, the group owner remained unmoved.
Obviously, this has already been decided within the Chaolu Games platform, probably approved by some big boss or senior executive behind the scenes.
The designers in the group also knew that it was meaningless to make things difficult for this staff member, so after yelling for a long time, they had to leave.
Those who were more optimistic continued to fix the bugs in their games, hoping that the platform officials would really handle this problem properly. Those who were more pessimistic had already given up on this platform in their hearts and planned to find another way out.
The group gradually fell silent.
…
What these designers didn't know was that this measure was finalized by Li Yada after consulting with President Pei.
Earlier, Pei Qian was watching a drama in his office when he suddenly received a call from Tang Yishu.
"S-Senior, this is bad, something happened on the platform!"
"Two games are about to be maliciously delisted by the players, and the heads of the game companies that cooperate with our platform are making a scene in the group."
"Now the Internet is full of negative comments about our platform, and Sister Yada can't make up her mind."
"Meng Chang said that this kind of thing should be reported by phone."
"Senior, what should we do?"
Tang Yishu briefly introduced the current situation, her tone a little flustered.
Obviously, this incident was completely beyond her ability, and Li Yada couldn't provide a 100% problem-solving solution either.
So, Meng Chang asked Tang Yishu to call and ask.
Listening to Tang Yishu's report, a look of surprise appeared on Pei Qian's face.
There's such a good thing?
The Chaolu Games platform has really been reporting good news recently!
First, a large number of game companies were persuaded to leave because of bugs, then the promotion and diversion effects were extremely poor, and then the number of bugs caused players to question whether the Chaolu Games platform was deliberately hyping things up.
Now, even malicious delisting has arrived?
It's simply too surprising!
Previously, Pei Qian felt that even with this system, the possibility of a large-scale delisting of games was very slim. Because most players aren't simpletons, and with the premise of a weight mechanism, the game's score will eventually be fixed at a relatively reasonable level.
But now Pei Qian realized that he had overlooked a very crucial point when making this assumption, and that was the issue of the player base!
When talking about probability, one must talk about the base, because the larger the sample, the closer the true probability will be to the expected probability.
And if the sample is small, there will definitely be huge deviations.
As a new game platform, the batch of players who were diverted to the Chaolu Games platform in the early stage were relatively special. Most of them didn't have a specific game platform, had no sense of belonging to the platform at all, and mostly came with the mentality of getting something for free.
They only care about having fun in the first month or two, and don't care about the overall environment of the platform at all!
And this mentality will become even more serious if there is no intervention.
It's like the wool-gatherers on shopping platforms. They are all organized. If a certain commodity is priced incorrectly, these people will immediately swarm up and fleece the store until it cries.
After these players discover that the Chaolu Games platform can be half-price "wooled" in this way, it will attract more players to join this ranks, and over time, the player composition of the entire platform will become more unbalanced.
Happiness came too suddenly, and Pei Qian could hardly suppress his joy.
Doesn't this mean that the Chaolu Games platform, this money-burning tree, is a success?
According to the current situation, they can continue to advertise and burn money, contact other game companies to put games on the shelves and burn money, in short, they can spend money in various ways! Anyway, the players will help them delist all these games!
Has the most perfect situation in his imagination really happened?
Pei Qian was simply ecstatic.
However, he wasn't overwhelmed by this good news. Instead, he suddenly realized a problem.
Since the most perfect situation has appeared, the previous measures must be slightly adjusted.
That's this delisting mechanism!
The rule that Pei Qian set before was that games that didn't pass the trial period would be permanently delisted directly and could not be relisted in the future.
This rule is superficially too one-size-fits-all and may mistakenly kill many games that are improved later, but on the other hand, it is also a protection mechanism.
The consequences of being delisted during the trial period are too serious, so players must carefully consider when deciding to delist a game, objectively raising the threshold.
Currently, the games that players are delisting are some old games. Most of these games are no longer updated and no longer have fresh blood joining them, and the delisting has little impact on old players, so these players are relatively unscrupulous.
But if there is a high-quality online game that is continuously operated and updated in the future, and new players need to improve the game experience, will players still be so unscrupulous in delisting the game?
Probably not.
Therefore, Pei Qian felt that in order to stabilize the current good situation, the rules should be torn open a little more.
Games are no longer permanently delisted, but can be modified and relisted!
It's just that this mechanism has a certain cooldown period.
In this way, players don't need to consider the consequences more when delisting games. They can delist games without thinking, anyway, they will be relisted in the future!
At that time, a small number of players may regret it and make up the difference to continue playing, but many players who have had their fun have long since disappeared.
Wouldn't that be more of a loss?
And changing the delisting mechanism still looks beneficial to these game companies on the surface, without arousing anyone's suspicion.
Well, perfect!
Pei Qian directly told Tang Yishu this solution, and there was the sound of typing on the keyboard over there, obviously recording everything.
"Then let's do that for now. Is there anything else?" Pei Qian asked.
Tang Yishu quickly said, "Ah, Senior, is that all? This only alleviates the problem of malicious delisting. Other aspects of the problem are still not resolved, right?"
