To become the richest man from the beginning of the game

Chapter 1212 Recommendation Mechanisms and Game Connoisseurs
Since moving here, the work habits of Yan Qi and his staff have also undergone certain changes.

The main reason is that the efficiency gap between different time periods is too big when changing bugs in Fengshui Treasure Land!

If working overtime all day on weekends is not as good as finding more bugs in one hour on weekdays, then why is there any need to work overtime?

Of course, it does not rule out that some bosses are black-hearted, knowing that the employees will not help the project, but force them to continue working overtime.

But Yan Qi is obviously not such a person.

After moving here, he also discovered that the rules of this geomantic treasure are not static, not only the two items of "no work on weekends" and "spherical range", sometimes there are some exceptions.

For example, individual weekdays do not work either.

At the beginning, Yan Qi thought hard about what was going on, but he searched for the reason with other designers in the group for a long time, but failed.

Had no choice but to give up.

After all, for things like metaphysics, even if you can find the rules, you can only rely on guesswork. If there is no trace to find, then you can only resign yourself to fate.

So Yan Qi didn't bother with this anymore. Anyway, the game has already determined to make money, so don't be so impatient, work when the efficiency is high, and do other things when the efficiency is not high.

Today happened to be the first update of "Eternal Fall into Reincarnation". Yan Qi had already pre-ordered the game when the announcement came out, and he just waited for the time to download the content and experience it.

Anyway, it's only 30 yuan, in Yan Qi's view, it's no different from free gift.

After all, in mobile games now, 30 yuan is just a monthly card.

""Eternal Fall into Reincarnation" is the DLC of "Return to the Shore". It stands to reason that the gameplay should be similar. But I heard that Mr. Pei personally wrote it, and let the author of the original novel participate in the development. It is worth looking forward to."

Yan Qi checked that the time was almost up, and started to download the game content.

……

Meanwhile, an unassuming little cafe.

At the table in the corner, Pei Qian, Li Yada and Tang Yishu were staring at each other.

"Sir, your coffee has arrived... oops!"

The waiter came over with a tray, and on the tray were the coffees ordered by three people. As soon as he got to the table, he staggered and was about to fall forward.

Pei Qian and Tang Yishu, who were near the waiter, shot at almost the same time, holding the coffee cups on the tray.

It's just that Tang Yishu's movements were in a hurry, and she almost brought the chair down when she stood up, while Pei Qian was quick-eyed and calm.

The three cups of coffee were preserved, but because the third cup of coffee was not directly supported, it collided with the other two cups slightly, and a little splashed out.

Pei Qian calmly took down two full cups of coffee and handed them to Li Yada and Tang Yishu.

The waiter hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry sir, I'll change your drink right now."

Pei Qian waved his hand and sent him away.

Heh, fortunately, I see all directions with my eyes and listen to all directions, and I have a premonition that there will be problems in advance.

Pei Qian took out a paper towel from the side to wipe off a small amount of coffee stains on his hands, looked at the two people sitting across the table, and felt a little emotional.

How do you see your own employees, just like underground party joints...

Ever since Chaolu Game Platform turned the corner, Pei Qian has been thinking about how to make it turn back.

After thinking about it for a few days, although I haven't come up with a good solution, I finally have a little clue.

So, I just want to meet Li Yada and Tang Yishu and have a little chat.

Pei Qian thought about it, whether he went to Chaolu game platform by himself or asked Li Yada and Tang Yishu to return to Tengda, it seemed that it was not very safe.There are too many people, and if the secret is leaked, something big will happen.

So, I had no choice but to find a coffee shop on the side of the road and talk secretly.

"President Pei, let me first report the specific situation of the Chaolu game platform during this period..." Li Yada had already made preparations for the report before he came.

Pei Qian shook his head: "No need, I already know everything I need to know."

Li Yada nodded slightly.

Sure enough, Mr. Pei still attaches great importance to this game platform!Always pay attention to every move of the platform!
This further confirms her and Meng Chang's guess: the Zhaolu game platform is obviously a large-scale experiment and an innovation of the game platform model.Once successful, it will be fully connected with Tenda Games, and it will soar into the sky!
Pei Qian didn't know about Li Yada's mental activities, he was just smoothing his thoughts, thinking about how to get the Chaolu game platform back.

After all, the current situation of the platform is just a fluke out of danger. Although there is no sudden death, it is still far from a real full-scale explosion.

There is still room for redemption.

Soon, a new cup of coffee was brought over, and this time there was no more trouble.Pei Qian took a sip of coffee and asked, "How are the current recommendations of Chaolu Game Platform... arranged?"

After being stunned for a moment, Li Yada secretly rejoiced.

Sure enough, Mr. Pei saw that the first phase of Chaolu Game Platform was successful, so he had to start arranging the work for the second phase!
She immediately answered truthfully: "It's similar to other game platforms, with manual review and data screening."

"For games that have passed the bug test, we will first give a rough rating based on the quality of the game. The higher the rating, the better the initial recommended position."

"After getting into the initial recommendation position, you can see the corresponding data, such as click-through rate, retention rate, payment rate, etc. Afterwards, we will make follow-up arrangements based on these data. If the data is good, continue to the next round of recommendation. If the data is poor, we will recommend it after a period of time.”

"Of course, we will also give some preferential treatment to particularly excellent games. For example, those excellent stand-alone games and independent games in the Qiertu Project will have a preference for recommended resources."

Pei Qian took a sip of coffee, noncommittal.

Obviously, this is the recommendation mechanism currently adopted by most mainstream platforms, including official game platforms.Like some novel websites, video websites, etc., they basically have a similar recommendation mechanism.

Various data can comprehensively and objectively reflect the popularity of a certain game, and it is not easily affected by too many subjective factors.

On the basis of objective data, combined with the judgment and analysis of professionals, and corresponding interventions where the data is inaccurate, a better result can be achieved.

Of course, different platforms have different emphasis on "data" and "artificial".

Some platforms rely more on data, which is completely data-only theory. No matter how good the game is, as long as the profit data is not good, no recommended resources will be given.The advantage of this is that it can boost performance, make more money, and avoid mistakes caused by human subjective judgment errors.

And some platforms will give the staff a lot of weight, which recommendation position depends entirely on internal arrangements.Sometimes after trading with the game developer PY, it is not uncommon for a not-so-good game to occupy the best recommended position for a long time.

After all, the ultimate goal of the platform is to make money, and it’s not shameful to mark the recommended price openly. As for the possible impact and loss on the platform... it’s not that big, as long as the developer gives more money, everything will be fine. Easy to discuss.

For Pei Qian, this matter seems to be a bit of a dilemma.

All dependent on data?

But many times the data is really accurate. Although a small number of good games will be buried, overall this is a very fair system.

Not to mention anything else, regardless of the quality of the games pushed to the forefront by data, most of them are very profitable games at the moment. Under the [-]-[-] split, the platform will definitely not make less money.

But relying entirely on human labor is not appropriate.

Because Li Yada understands games, not only she understands, but many people on the entire platform understand.

Even if Pei Qian arranges a few people who don't know much about games to take care of this matter, they will inevitably be influenced by the spirit of Tengda and guided by other employees, and eventually they will choose some better games.

Combining data and human?
Wouldn't that be back to the original origin...

Pei Qian thought for a moment and said, "I think... the recommended arrangements should all be handed over to the players!"

Li Yada was stunned for a moment: "Give it to the player?"

Pei Qian nodded: "That's right."

"What I'm considering is that through a certain mechanism, a small number of players will be selected from the players as opinion leaders. These people will have a special label on the platform, which can also be called 'connoisseurs'."

"The connoisseurs have the power to decide the recommended position of the game."

"Which recommended position on which game does not depend on the specific data of the game at all, but depends on the thoughts of these connoisseurs."

"Of course, connoisseurs have a certain screening and dismissal mechanism. You should think about this carefully, and show me after you come up with a plan."

Pei Qian's idea is very simple, that is to deliberately use this system to induce civil strife among players!
If all players vote publicly, it is actually just a more powerful scoring system.

Most of the games that are selected for the recommendation position are games that are played by many people and earn a lot of money, and they cannot achieve the effect at all.

Therefore, we must find a way to divide the players, let a small number of players become connoisseurs, and have the right to arrange recommendation slots for the game, while most players can only watch.

Among the connoisseurs, there are also different preferences. In order to compete for the recommendation, they will definitely be pinched.

And various game companies will also try their best to curry favor with these connoisseurs and exert influence on them; ordinary players will also try their best to pull down the existing connoisseurs and take over by themselves.

In short, on other platforms, the right to recommend is in the hands of the platform itself. No matter how it is arranged, the final result is mostly to make money. It is just the difference between making money with this game or making money with that game.

After Pei Qian operated like this, the recommendation slots of the Chaolu game platform were actually very irresponsibly given to a small number of players.

Now many players seem to be upright and honest, saying that they want to judge these games fairly.

But if a few people become connoisseurs and gain the power to manipulate recommendations, will they stick to their previous ideas?
Can those who become connoisseurs stick to their hearts?

Can those who have not become connoisseurs accept it calmly?
Pei Qian felt that it was probably impossible!
