Chapter 1192: The Boss Of The Platform Obviously Doesn’t Understand Games!

The group leaders repeatedly promised that they would definitely solve the problem of gamers deliberately not recommending and maliciously taking the game down. However, the bosses, producers, and chief planners in the group obviously did not buy it.

That was because no one had much expectations for this!

As game designers, most of them did not believe in gamers’ self-awareness.

It was not that he had any misunderstanding of human nature or stereotypes. This was mainly because of the experience acc.u.mulated in the operations of most games and the b.l.o.o.d.y lessons.

After all, games were not reality. Many people in games would often disregard the cost and consequences in order to pursue a special experience.

Some orderly gamers might play some dirty tricks in the game, such as deliberately not following the recommended process to play, to see if there would be any difference, or repeatedly skip across the rules to see if there would be bugs or something interesting.

On the other hand, some relatively malicious players might maliciously use the bugs in the game to profit. They might even maliciously cheat in online games. They might seriously destroy the gaming experience of other players for the sake of their own enjoyment.

Long-term benefits? Maintain the game environment?

It was not important to many players.

In any case, there were so many games in the market now. At the very most, he could change his account and play another game.

As the designer of the system, the game designer had to think of a way to prevent this from happening at the very beginning.

The corresponding restriction system had to consider gamers very extreme and predict the worst-case scenario in advance.

It was just like the ancient laws. The highest standards of punishment must not be missing.

Thus, most designers did not approve of the approach of Dawn Games. Obviously, it had overestimated the players’ self-awareness and the lower limit of some players.

The current decision of the Dawn Games platform was nothing more than giving these games a chance to revive. However, this revival had a cooldown time. The cooldown time was quite long.

It would only be released a month later. It would probably be too late.

It was obviously unreasonable for players to decide which games they could take down. Obviously, it gave players too much freedom. Without the corresponding system and responsibilities as constraints, the entire environment fell into chaos.

That was why everyone felt that it was obviously something that only laymen could do.

The real boss behind Dawn Games platform probably did not understand games at all. He was fooling around and was about to lead the platform into a bottomless pit.

However, no matter how much they protested, the group leader was unmoved.

Obviously, the internal department of Dawn Games platform had come to a conclusion. It was most likely decided by a big boss or higher-up.

The designers in the group also knew that there was no point in making things difficult for this staff. Thus, they could only leave after arguing for a long time.

Those who were more optimistic continued to fix the bugs in the game, hoping that the official platform could really deal with this problem. Those who were more pessimistic had already given up on this platform in their hearts and planned to find another way.

The group gradually fell silent.

…

What these designers did not know was that this measure was finalized after Li Yada consulted Boss Pei.

Pei Qian was watching shows in his office earlier when he suddenly received a call from Tang Yishu.

“S-Senior, bad news! Something has happened on the platform!”

“There are two games that are about to be maliciously taken down by gamers. The people in charge of the games companies that our platform is working with are messing around in the group chat.”

“There is negative public opinion about our platform online now. Sister Yada can’t make up her mind.”

“Meng Chang said that we should call and ask for instructions on this.”

“Senior, what should we do?”

Tang Yishu briefly explained the current situation and sounded fl.u.s.tered.

Obviously, this incident had completely exceeded her capabilities. Li Yada could not come up with a 100% solution either.

Thus, Meng Chang asked Tang Yishu to call and ask.

Pei Qian could not help but look pleasantly surprised as he listened to Tang Yishu’s report.

Such a good thing actually existed?

There has been good news on Dawn Games platform recently!

First, a large number of game manufacturers were dissuaded because of bugs. Then, the publicity effect was very bad. Then, the number of bugs aroused players’ doubts and felt that the Dawn Games platform was maliciously creating hype.

Now, they were even maliciously taking down games?

It was a pleasant surprise!

Before this, Pei Qian had felt that even with this system, the chances of a good thing like a large-scale download of the game were negligible. That was because most players were not gra.s.sroots. With the weightage mechanism, the game’s ratings would ultimately be set at a relatively reasonable level.

However, Pei Qian now realized that he had neglected a very important point when making this a.s.sumption: the player base!

They had to talk about probability. That was because the larger the sample, the closer the real probability would be to the expected probability.

If the sample was small, there would definitely be a huge deviation.

As a new gaming platform, the first batch of gamers that were directed in were relatively special. Most of them did not have a specific gaming platform and had no sense of belonging to the platform. Most of them came with the mentality of freeloading.

They would only think about having fun in the first one or two months. They would not think about the environment of the platform!

This mentality would become even more serious without intervention.

This was just like the scalpers on the shopping platform. They were all organized. If a certain product was marked wrongly, these people would immediately rush forward and directly pull the shop to tears.

More players would be attracted to join this group after these players realized that the morning sun gaming platform could earn profits from the game at half price. As time went by, the composition of players on the entire platform would become even more unbalanced.

Bliss had come too suddenly. Pei Qian could not suppress his joy.

Didn’t that mean that the money-burning tree, Dawn Games had become a success?

According to his current situation, he could continue to advertise and burn money. He could contact other games companies to put the game on the shelves to burn money. In short, he could do anything he wanted! In any case, gamers would help him take down all the games!

The most perfect scenario that he had imagined had happened?

Pei Qian was elated.

However, he was not overwhelmed by the good news. Instead, he suddenly realized a problem.

Since the perfect situation had appeared, he had to adjust the previous measures.

This was the mechanism for taking it off the shelves!

Previously, Pei Qian had set the rule that games that did not pa.s.s the trial period would be taken off the shelves permanently and could not be released in the future.

On the surface, this rule was too one-size-fits-all. It might kill many games that were modified later on. However, on the other hand, it was also a protection mechanism.

The consequences of taking the game off during the probation period were too serious. Therefore, players had to think carefully and raise the threshold objectively.

At the moment, gamers were removing old games from the shelves. Most of these games were not updated anymore, and there was no fresh blood added. After removing them from the shelves, it would not affect old gamers much. Thus, these gamers were relatively unrestrained.

However, if there was a high-quality online game that would continue to operate and update in the future, requiring updates and new gamers to improve the game experience, would gamers still be so unbridled as to build games?

Probably not.

Thus, Pei Qian felt that he should tear the rules wider in order to stabilize the current situation.

The game would no longer be taken off the shelves permanently. Instead, it could be revised and uploaded again!

However, this mechanism had a certain cooldown time.

That way, gamers would not have to think about the consequences when they download the game. They could download the game mindlessly. In any case, it would be uploaded again in the future!

At that time, a small portion of players might regret making up for the difference in price and continue playing. However, many players would have gone somewhere else after finis.h.i.+ng this wave.

Wouldn’t that be more of a loss?

What’s more, changing the mechanism of taking off the shelves seemed to be beneficial to these games companies on the surface. It would not arouse anyone’s suspicion.

Yes, that would be perfect!

Pei Qian explained the plan to Tang Yishu directly. There was the sound of typing on the keyboard, obviously recording everything down.

“That’s all for now, then. Is there anything else?” Pei Qian asked.

Tang Yishu quickly said, “Ah, Senior, is that all? Only to relieve the malicious taking off the shelf. The other problems wouldn’t be resolved, right?”
