Chapter 1212 Recommendation Mechanism and Game Connoisseur

Since moving here, the work habits of Yan Qi and his staff have also changed to some extent.

The main reason is that the efficiency gap between different time periods is too great to change bugs in Feng Shui treasures!

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

Of course, it is not ruled out that individual bosses have a bad heart, knowing that the employees will not be of any help to the project, but they are forced to continue to work overtime.

But Yan Qi is obviously not such a person.

After moving in, he also discovered that the rules of this feng shui treasure land are not static, not only "no work on weekends" and "spherical range", but sometimes there are some exceptions.

For example, individual working days are also not working.

At first 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 to no avail.

Had no choice but to give up.

After all, for something like metaphysics, even if you find the rules, you can only rely on guessing. If there is no trace, then you can only resign.

So Yan Qi no longer bothered about this, anyway, the game has already made 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 day of the first update of "Eternal Fallen 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 go in to experience it.

Anyway, it was only 30 yuan. In Yan Qi's opinion, it was no different from giving away for nothing.

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

""Eternal Fallen Reincarnation" is the DLC of "Going Back to the Shore". It stands to reason that the gameplay should be similar. But I heard that President Pei did it himself, and also let the original novel author participate in the development, which is worth looking forward to."

Yan Qi checked that the time was almost up and started downloading 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 with big eyes.

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

The waiter came over with a tray on which three people had ordered coffee. As a result, as soon as he reached the table, he staggered under his feet and was about to fall forward.

Pei Qian and Tang Yishu, who were close to the waiter, took action almost at the same time and held the coffee cup on the tray.

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

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

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

The waiter hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry sir, I'll give you a change now."

Pei Qian waved his hand and sent him away.

Oh, fortunately, I saw six roads and listened to all directions, and I had a premonition that there would be problems in advance.

Pei Qian took out a tissue from the side to dry the small amount of coffee stains on his hands, and looked at the two people sitting across the table with some emotion.

How to meet one's own employees, just like the underground party joint...

Since the Chaolu game platform has turned its corner, Pei Qian has been pondering how to make it go back.

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

So, I just wanted to meet Li Yada and Tang Yishu for a little chat.

Pei Qian thought about it, whether it is to go to the Chaolu game platform by himself or let Li Yada and Tang Yishu return to Tengda, it seems that it is not very safe. There are many people, and if the secret is leaked, it will cause a big problem.

So, I had no choice but to find a coffee shop on the side of the road for a secret conversation.

"Mr. Pei, let me report on the specific situation of the Chaolu Game Platform during this period..." Li Yada was ready to report before he came.

Pei Qian shook his head: "No, I already understand what I should know."

Li Yada nodded slightly.

Sure enough, President Pei still attaches great importance to this game platform! Always keep an eye on the platform's every move!

This further confirmed her and Meng Chang's speculation: the Chaolu game platform is obviously a large-scale experiment and an innovation in the game platform model. Once it is successful, it will be fully connected with Tenda Games, and it will soar into the sky!

Pei Qian didn't know Li Yada's psychological activities, he was just straightening his own train of thought, thinking about how to turn the Chaolu game platform back.

After all, the current situation of the platform is only 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 came over, and this time there was no more moth. Pei Qian took a sip of coffee and asked, "How is the current recommendation of the Chaolu Game Platform... arranged?"

After Li Yada was stunned for a moment, she was secretly happy.

Sure enough, Pei always saw that the first stage of the Chaolu game platform was successful, so it was time to start arranging the second stage of work!

She immediately answered truthfully: "Similar to other game platforms, manual review plus 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 recommendation."

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

"Of course, we will also give certain preferential treatment to particularly excellent games. For example, those excellent stand-alone games and independent games in the Qiaotu Project will be inclined to recommend resources."

Pei Qian took a sip of coffee and was noncommittal.

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

Various data can reflect the popularity of a game more comprehensively and objectively, 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 intervene in the places 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 and are completely data-only. No matter how well-reputed a game is, as long as the profit data is not good, it will not recommend resources. The advantage of this is that it can improve performance, make more money, and avoid mistakes caused by people's subjective judgment errors.

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

After all, the ultimate purpose of the platform is to make money, and it is not ashamed to clearly mark the price for the recommended position. As for the possible impact and loss on the platform... Actually, it is not much. As long as the developer gives more money, everything will be fine. Good to discuss.

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

All depend on data?

But many times the data is quite 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 that are pushed to the forefront by data, most of them are very profitable games at the moment. Under the 50-50 split, the platform will definitely not make less money.

But all relying on manual labor is not appropriate.

Because Li Yada understands games, not just her, but many people on the entire platform.

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 Tenda's spirit and be guided by other employees, and eventually they will choose some better games.

Combining data and human?

Wouldn't that be back to the original point...

Pei Qian considered for a moment and said, "I think... the recommended arrangements should 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 consider is to screen out a small number of players among the players through a certain mechanism as opinion leaders. These people will have a special label on the platform, which can also be called 'tasters'."

"The tasters have the power to decide where the game is recommended."

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

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

Pei Qian's idea is very simple, it is to deliberately use this system to induce civil unrest among players!

If all players voted publicly, it would be just a more powerful scoring system.

Most of the games that are selected to be in the recommended position are games that are played by many people and make a lot of money, which cannot achieve the effect at all.

Therefore, it is necessary to find a way to differentiate the players, let a small number of players become tasters, and have the right to arrange recommendation places for the game, while most players can only watch.

Among the connoisseurs, there are also different preferences, and they will definitely fight for the recommendation position.

And various game dealers will also find ways 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 them up.

In short, for 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 making money. It’s just the difference between making money with this game or making money with that game.

After Pei Qian did this, the recommendation position of the Chaolu game platform was actually given to a few players irresponsibly.

A lot of players now seem righteous and righteous and say they want to judge these games fairly.

But if a few people become connoisseurs and gain the power to manipulate recommendations, will they stick with 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 most of it was impossible!
