Chapter 1210 - The Current Situation Of The Game Platforms

Lin Wan was obviously not the only one trying.

Zhang Yuan was also holding the list in DGE Club. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead.

As the people in charge were ‘apprehended’ one by one, Zhang Yuan first felt a sense of fear that a disaster was impending. Then, it became a feeling of relief after surviving a calamity.

Zhang Yuan felt even stronger when he saw Xiao Peng’s name on the list.

“Phew… that’s terrifying!”

“If I had not given up my position as the person-in-charge of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Xiao Peng’s name would probably be mine on the list now.”

Zhang Yuan did not know what kind of place Bao Xu’s special training base for suffering and suffering was or what kind of training it was. However, he knew that it was definitely not a place to enjoy.

After Bao Xu became evil, he went from being sent out on holiday to being useless and furious. He became the mastermind who held the power to decide the life and death of the people in charge.

This feeling was a little similar to that of a manufacturer.

The name list contained the current person-in-charge of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Xiao Peng. What’s more, he was in the front.

Zhang Yuan was very grateful. If he had been in charge of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, he would have been on the list.

Fortunately, after leaving Fish-Catching Internet Cafe and becoming the person-in-charge of DGE Club and E-Sports Industry, Zhang Yuan escaped the calamity. Xiao Peng, who replaced him, was the one sent instead.

However, this did not make Zhang Yuan feel at ease. Instead, he felt even more uneasy.

Since this group of people in charge had already been arranged, wouldn’t the same situation with the other people in charge still be far?

Zhang Yuan thought about it. Based on his understanding of Boss Pei’s character, this matter would not be so easy to let go.

In the worst case scenario, Boss Pei might normalize and systematize this matter and arrange for all the core department heads.

In other words, Zhang Yuan might already be on the next list. It was just a matter of time.

“No, I have to think of a way to save myself.”

“Boss Pei’s arrangements must have a deeper meaning. It might be beneficial to us and the entire Tengda Corporation, but… I don’t want to go for special training!”

Zhang Yuan’s current mentality was like a high school student sleeping in his bed on a cold day. He knew that it was good for his body to wake up early in the morning and run laps, it was one thing to know, it was another to be willing to do it!

“Hurry up and study this list. Let’s see how similar these ten people are.”

“I have to research it quickly so that I can avoid being kidnapped.”

Zhang Yuan listed the characteristics of these ten people on the computer and the recent work situation of their departments. He began to analyze them seriously.

He was more serious about this than his work.

The other people in charge of Tengda, who were lucky not to be selected, were more or less doing similar things.

The group chat with the person-in-charge of Tengda became very quiet.

September 7th, Friday…

At the office building where Dawn Games platform was located.

Yan Qi looked at the various statistics of “Blade of the Empire” on Dawn Games platform seriously. The corners of his mouth curled up into a satisfied smile.

It was better than he had expected!

The situation was not bad after ‘Blade of the Empire’ was officially released. As it was a game that was released on the platform earlier, it obtained a very good recommendation spot. It could even be considered the best mobile game on the platform for a period of time.

After looking for bugs, a large number of players flooded in. As a game with good quality and few bugs on the platform, Blade of the Empire was naturally favored by a large number of players and was full every day.

The new servers were opened one by one, and the game’s popularity naturally increased.

Before this, Yan Qi had been worried that the popularity of the bug search would pass. What would he do?

Then, the game’s popularity would plummet. The game might even be taken off the shelves.

However, he did not expect the situation to completely change after Young Master Tian’s video was released! A large number of gamers and designers responded one after another. The influx of new gamers had a huge impact on those old gamers who were not recommended for malicious points. On the other hand, the Destitution Plan had continuously released a large number of outstanding independent games. It had also injected a large amount of fresh blood into the game library of Dawn Games platform.

This way, Dawn Games platform would slowly be revived!

Of course, there would not be drastic changes in the short term. However, everyone could feel that the situation was changing.

Previously, almost all the games on the platform were on the verge of being taken off the shelves. However, after this new batch of players flooded in, the recommendation rate gradually decreased. Many games, including Blade of the Empire, left the danger zone of being taken off the shelves.

Obviously, this group of new players were working hard to fight. They were using their own votes to protect these games as much as possible for the platform. Players who wanted to profit from the game could not succeed.

Of course, some old gamers on the platform could not accept it.

They had spent so much effort and were finally about to vote in the game off the shelves. They were just about to get a 50% refund for free when a new group of players suddenly flooded in and pushed the recommendation rate back.

How could they tolerate that?

Both sides worked their magic and did not recommend on the platform, or attacked each other and cursed each other on the forum outside. The battle was very intense.

However, the situation still inevitably leaned towards those rational gamers.

That was when the outstanding aspects of the ratings mechanism of the games platform were revealed: it was not rating from 1 to 5 or 1 to 10, but purely recommended or not.

Most people would not be able to maintain an objective and logical rating under extreme circumstances even though ratings could better distinguish the quality of the game in many cases.

Once both parties with different opinions fell out, they would either mindlessly farm 1 point or mindlessly farm 10 points. Both would aim for the most extreme direction. Whoever gave 7 points objectively would lose out.

His original intention was to show the true ratings of a game or movie more accurately, but the results were often contrary to his wishes.

Therefore, it was better to directly choose between ‘recommended’ and ‘not recommended’. It would be easier to deal with extreme situations.

During this process, some games were indeed taken off the shelves. However, they were basically old games with poor quality.

Even though the number of bugs in the game could be strictly limited in the morning, it was impossible to limit the gameplay and quality of the art resources. Thus, it was inevitable that some old, unpopular games would be uploaded.

The main purpose of the new group of gamers was to protect the outstanding games on the platform. Naturally, they left these outdated and boring old games to themselves.

However, this was not a big problem. On one hand, survival of the fittest was the mission from the establishment of the Dawn Games platform. On the other hand, even though these games had been taken off the shelves, they could also obtain half of the profits that belonged to them. What’s more, they could be uploaded again after a period of time.

As long as most of the outstanding games on the platform could be saved, there would be no problem.

Yan Qi knew very well that the most dangerous period for the platform was over after watching the godly operation of Dawn Games’ platform’s death courting move.

If Young Master Tian’s video did not cause much of a reaction, or if gamers only verbally supported him, the discussion about this matter would quickly reach a freezing point. It would only be a matter of time before the platform collapsed.

In the current situation, game developers and gamers were continuously pouring in. On the surface, it looked like the struggle between gamers on the platform would continue for a long time, but it at least meant that the platform had passed the biggest crisis. The situation would definitely improve in the future.

Naturally, he could sit back and relax with the game, ‘Blade of the Empire’!

Just as he was thinking about this, he heard the leader of the testing team mutter, “Why doesn’t this place seem to be working again? That’s strange. Isn’t it Friday today?”

The main body of the Blade of the Empire had indeed been developed, but there were still updates.

For a mobile game, the first few months after being released was the most profitable time. Thus, even though they could relax compared to the development period, they still had to continue developing new content.

They would release more new content while there were more players and enthusiasm would increase. The profits would also increase.

Once the game reached the later stages of life and new content would not stimulate the income much, the entire project team would enter a completely lazy state and start preparing for new projects.

Yan Qi said, “If it doesn’t work, then do something else and write a work summary. ‘Eternal Reincarnation’ will be officially updated in a while. It’s alright to relax, work and rest.”
