Chapter 1202 An Experiment

The video officially begins.

The video style of this "Tian Gongzi" is obviously completely different from Qiao Laoshi.

No matter what series of videos Qiao Laoshi makes, it always starts with a familiar opening line, a bit of a cheap voice, and greeting the audience.

Briefly introduce the cause and effect, and then it will naturally enter the topic.

But this Mr. Tian's style is completely opposite, without any pre-preparation and foreshadowing, he directly entered the topic, and even Yan Qi, who is used to quickly skipping the first ten seconds, almost missed the key information.

At the beginning of the video, there is a black screen first, accompanied by regular explanatory subtitles.

"After 16 days, the costly sociological experiment of Zhaolu Game Platform has finally come to an end."

"Whether they got the result they expected, we don't know. Maybe this result disappointed them very much, maybe this result was as early as they expected."

"But to them, the end result of all this may not matter."

"Importantly, this experiment makes one thing clear: It is still a luxury for some humans to remain sane for a long enough time."

...

Yan Qi was stunned by this opening statement.

Just like the title "Torture the Player's Soul", the opening statement is eye-catching enough, and it is not even an exaggeration to say that it is alarmist.

Why is it a sociological experiment?

Why is it a luxury to keep humans sane?

Yan Qi has seen the last sentence in a classic domestic science fiction novel, but the specific words and sentences and the application scenarios are different.

Its original sentence should be: "It is indeed a luxury to keep human beings rational forever."

The original sentence is "forever", but the sentence in the video is "a part of human beings for a long enough time", which obviously has lowered the requirements and discounted a lot.

In the video, the statement after lowering the requirements is obviously less ironic and more helpless.

It means: not to mention keeping all human beings sane forever, but keeping some people sane for a long enough time is a luxury!

Especially when this passage is spoken with the unique voice of AEEIS, it has a different feeling.

It seems that there is really an intelligent life of artificial intelligence standing opposite you, looking at all human beings expressionlessly, expressing their helplessness.

Of course, does artificial intelligence have the emotion of "helplessness"? It's hard to say.

But if there is no such emotion of "helplessness", it may appear even more helpless.

I have to say that this beginning attracted Yan Qi.

He was a little puzzled, how could the Chaolu game platform have any sociological experiments? Haven't you been making foolish tricks and playing badly with a good hand?

Can this also be round? Can this be washed too?

Confused, Yan Qi continued to read.

...

"If you want to create a game platform for making money, there is a set of mature, safe and complete templates that can be applied under the condition of sufficient funds."

"Direct purchase of traffic from other channel providers, direct diversion of traffic from apps with a large number of users, and negotiation of game exclusivity with well-known game developers... These are all very cost-effective and risk-free starting plans."

"And placing a large number of advertisements online and offline is a method with extremely low cost performance, extremely low conversion rate, and extremely poor effect."

"This is common sense in the industry, and even the game operations of some small game companies know this method."

"Zhaolu Game Platform is a game platform with sufficient financial resources. Judging from the quality of the platform programs, the key members should be elites in the industry. There is no reason for such a platform to not understand these contents."

...

The video briefly introduces these cost-effective start-up solutions, including specific processes and individual success stories.

Yan Qi nodded straightly.

This is indeed the case!

In fact, if the game channel wants to start, as long as you have money, it is not difficult.

The traffic of many channel providers is clearly priced. A recommendation in a specific area can continuously import users to a certain APP or a certain game. Although these traffic may seem expensive, compared with advertising, the price-performance ratio is higher. Too high.

In the same way, you can also spend more money to cooperate with some app stores, and hang on the recommendation list of the APP for a period of time, and the effect is far better than advertising.

As for talking to well-known game developers about monopoly, which is a method that most designers want, let alone.

In short, those who are a little more experienced in the industry can think of at least four or five more cost-effective drainage methods. With enough money, the Chaolu game platform can start safely and smoothly without too many worries.

However, Chaolu Game Platform chose the solution with the worst effect and the lowest cost performance: advertising!

Of course, it is not impossible to advertise, but basically it is only the big game platforms that come to this point.

When some game platforms have developed into a very large channel with a lot of profits, and the previous solutions have not achieved too obvious results, they will advertise online or even do TV commercials to seek further development. Break the circle and attract more users.

When did you see those small game platforms advertise online?

Therefore, this behavior of the Chaolu game platform is indeed very abnormal.

Yan Qi was anxious and angry when he saw Chaolu game platform making foolish moves.

But thinking about it now, it is obviously unreasonable to attribute this simply to the fact that the person in charge of the platform is an amateur and too stupid.

Because no matter how stupid you are, there must be a limit.

This kind of choice is not difficult. As long as a brief explanation is given, ordinary netizens can tell which one is more cost-effective and which one is lower.

It cannot be said that the boss of Chaolu Game Platform is just a particularly outrageous layman, he is arbitrary, does not listen to other people's opinions, and does not even have the most basic logical thinking ability and understanding ability, right?

This possibility is too low.

If there are a total of four options for a certain multiple-choice question, the other three options can be confirmed to be the correct answer at a glance, but the most outrageous wrong answer is chosen.

Is it conceivable that there is a high possibility that the wrong choice was made on purpose?

What's more, Yan Qi thought about it and realized that all the employees of Chaolu Game Platform seemed to obey the boss behind him.

If it is a layman leading an expert, then these employees will have some complaints more or less, and they will not carry out the work without saying a word like they are now.

So, most likely there is a real problem!

Yan Qi hurriedly continued to look down.

...

"Obviously, there is only one explanation for this situation: Zhaolu Game Platform did it on purpose."

"The display of the number of game bugs on the platform, as well as the various regulations of 'the game will be removed if the non-recommendation rate exceeds 55% during the trial period' are actually a special experiment."

"The content of the verification is that the game platform focuses on providing high-quality content, and after all the rights of screening, judging, and even removing games are delegated to players, can players remain rational, achieve effective self-management, and make good use of these rights? "

"Unfortunately, judging from the current results, the answer is no."

"Not only did a small number of players fail to maintain reason, but they also successfully incited most players on the platform to join in this irrational ranks, thus allowing this right to be thoroughly abused, which is completely contrary to the original intention of the platform."

"Compared to other platforms, it has obtained more rights, but this kind of rights has damaged long-term interests because players pay too much attention to short-term interests. In the end, the platform that treats players well has a worse environment than other platforms. "

"Is this the sorrow of the game platform, or the sorrow of the players?"

...

Yan Qi's eyes widened, these contents were a bit too shocking, so that he fell into a state of confusion.

He originally wanted to drag the progress bar back and listen to the passage again, but fortunately, he found that there was a more detailed explanation later.

The first is the special handling of bugs on the Chaolu game platform.

On other platforms, no matter whether the game has bugs or how many bugs there are, as long as it can run normally, it can go online, and the bugs can be slowly fixed later.

Many players play half-finished games with bugs, some of which can even seriously affect the game experience.

It stands to reason that this situation should not exist at all, because what players pay for is the finished game, not the semi-finished product.

If you go to a restaurant to eat, and after paying in full, you are served a half-cooked dish, then even if the chef repeatedly promises to add some ingredients and fry them until they are fully cooked, the diners will definitely agree. He went crazy on the spot.

If a game is full of many bugs that affect the game experience, then it should not be launched. Instead, it should continue to develop, fix bugs, and go online after reaching a very high degree of completion.

But for other platforms and game developers, what are a few bugs? Go online in the morning and make money early.

Therefore, the interests of the players are sacrificed.

Different from other platforms, Chaolu Game Platform strictly controls platform games, dissuades many semi-finished games, gives up the huge benefits brought by these games, and ensures the game experience of players.

And in order to enhance the players' sense of participation, everyone can see the bug modification status of each game in real time.

This is like those restaurants with transparent back kitchens. Although it does not help to improve the taste of the dishes, it allows diners to see the situation of the back kitchen, which in itself shows a great trust.

However, are the players grateful for this?

Absolutely not.

Not only was there no gratitude, but various conspiracy theories emerged. Some said it was hype by the platform, and some said it was fake data.

It is obviously a very necessary move and a very important right, but most people don't care about it at all, and even doubt the platform's motives.
