Soon, others also spoke.

"Damn, I haven't noticed it before. After you said that, I realized that the unrecommended rate of our game has reached 47%. This... is about to be removed from the shelves!"

"Is our game so bad? It obviously has a positive review rate of more than 80% on other platforms!"

This is the main planner of another local game company in Jingzhou. Unlike the previous game, this is a stand-alone casual mobile game with a purchase-out fee.

Logically speaking, the reputation of stand-alone games should be better, but the problem is even more serious!

When Yan Qidian Kaichaolu game platform, he found that the unrecommendation rate of these two games was very worrying, one was 44%, and the other was 47%!

The Chaolu game platform has no ratings, so there is only a very straightforward "recommended" or "not recommended". If the non-recommended rate reaches 55%, the game will not pass the trial period and will be directly removed from the shelves.

If the game has passed the trial period, but the unrecommendation rate reaches 65% for some reasons, the game will still be removed from the shelves.

In just a few days, the derecommended rate has passed the 40% warning line, which can be said to be very dangerous!

Yan Qi felt a little puzzled.

Shouldn't it?

He knew that although these two games were old games, their operations on other platforms were basically stable and their reputation was good.

The first game is Krypton Gold mobile game. Although it is definitely not comparable to those excellent masterpieces, in the circle of domestic mobile games, it is not as high as a 44% non-recommended rate?

The second game is a single-player game made by buyout. It has a good reputation in the gaming circle, and the unrecommended rate has reached 47%, which is even more outrageous!

Before, Yan Qi noticed that Chaolu Game Platform had such a regulation when signing the contract. If the non-recommendation rate exceeds 55%, he would be removed from the shelves directly, but he didn't care too much.

On the one hand, it is because you can get half of the money back and there will be no big losses. On the other hand, it is because there is a special weight algorithm in this non-recommended rate, Yan Qi feels it is unlikely that he will fall to this point.

According to the regulations of Chaolu game platform, the specific recommendation rate and disrecommended rate are not calculated based on the number of players' heads, but are calculated after each player is given weight.

Simply put, the longer the game time on the gaming platform, the more you spend. Players who purchase more games of a certain type have higher weight when they click or do not recommend it.

There is a very important indicator here, which is the gaming experience of a certain type of game. For example, players a and b have more consumption, but players b have played a large number of action games. When judging action games, players b's recommendations or non-recommendations will occupy a higher weight.

Overall, this is a relatively objective and comprehensive evaluation mechanism, and even if there are certain deviations, it will not be too large.

But... at present, this mechanism seems to be not operating very normally?

The others in the group were also alarmed and all showed great concern.

Because this mechanism of the game platform will also affect them!

These game dealers have signed agreements with Chaolu Game Platform. After the game is launched, there will be a one-week "trial period". If the non-recommended rate exceeds 55%, it will be removed from the shelves!

At first, everyone thought this wouldn't be difficult, after all, the game's recommendation rate is less than 45%, which is almost the same as the 5-point score on other platforms is less than 2 points.

There are not many 2-point games on other platforms?

In addition to this weight algorithm, as long as it is a game with good quality and no bugs, isn’t it normal to get a pass mark during the time it was just launched?

But now looking at the situation of these two games, things are obviously not that simple.

"What's going on? Why is the unrecommendation rate so high?"

"Is this weight algorithm not working? After all, the Chaolu game platform has just been open for a while, so the players have very little information on this platform, and this weight algorithm cannot clearly distinguish players."

"This is possible! Moreover, it may also be because there are few players and few samples, so there will be a large deviation in probability, resulting in inaccurate ratings."

"It's not right. Players must buy the game before they can evaluate it. Players who don't like this type of game won't buy it at all. How could they not recommend it?"

"No matter what, we have to improve this rule quickly. The bug in our game will be corrected soon and will be available in the next two days. What if it is removed from the shelves?"

Everyone was very concerned. While helping to analyze, they @ the group leader figured out a solution.

As a result, the group leader had not yet made a statement, and the person in charge of the initial game spoke again.

"Because of the lack of player data on the new platform, inaccurate weight algorithms is indeed a problem, but not the main problem!"

"I was wondering at first why the derecommendation rate was so high. Later, one of our employees lurked into the player group and then realized what was going on!"

"It turns out that some game guilds are taking advantage of loopholes. After recharge in the game, they want to use this method to get half the refund!"

"Because the game has been removed from the shelves, other players can benefit from it, so there are still many players who support it. The derecommended rate is getting higher and higher now!"

The person in charge of the stand-alone game suddenly realized: "So that's it! That can explain why our game is obviously a stand-alone game with good quality, but the unrecommendation rate is so high!"

Some people didn't understand it yet and asked, "Ah? But what are the benefits of removing the game to players? Don't they even get it?"

Someone immediately reminded: "No, even if players are removed from the shelves, they can still play it. They just won't open a new server and there will be no subsequent maintenance. But the problem is that the current games will not have subsequent updates and maintenance!"

The group was full of heads of various game companies, so they didn't know much about the inside story of these aspects, so the truth of the matter was quickly analyzed.

Obviously, this refund system has been exploited by players!

According to the regulations of Chaolu Game Platform, if the game's non-recommended rate is too high, it means that there are serious problems with this game. Taking off the game and partial refunds are considered a responsible behavior for players.

But now, players obviously don’t recommend it because the game quality is not good, but because they order it for a refund!

One of these two games is a krypton gold online game that has entered the end of its life. On the first day of the server opening, some game guilds entered.

After studying the platform's mechanism, these people suddenly found that it seemed to be more beneficial to them to remove the game!

There is a WeChat official account [Book Fan Base], where you can receive red envelopes and coin orders, first come first served!

According to the platform's regulations, they can continue to play the game after it is removed, but there will be no new players joining, and there will be no version updates for this game in the future.

But for this old game, there wouldn't be any version updates!

Even if updated, it is mostly some unpainable content, which does not have much impact on the fun of the game itself.

Moreover, mobile games are all small servers operating modes, and a new server is opened on average in two or three days. So for these old players, whether new players come or not does not affect their gaming experience, because new players will go to the new server even if they come, and will not come to the old server.

The game removed means that players who recharge can get half of the refund.

Don’t underestimate this half of the refund. How many krypton gold games will carry out such unlimited, undifferentiated 50% promotional activities?

Now I have enough money to spend in one go. After the game is removed from the shelves, I can get half of the rebate. The subsequent game cannot be recharged, but I can completely rely on the money I used to krypton to keep the lead over other players and keep doing my best.

And the players of that stand-alone game are obviously for this purpose.

For them, there are even fewer restrictions, because this stand-alone game has also entered the end of its life. It is difficult for developers to invest resources to develop new versions, so it is better to develop new projects.

Therefore, removing this game can directly save half of the money for these players, and there will be no negative impact.

Since you can do it by clicking the "Not Recommended" button, why not click it?

Moreover, as many people have analyzed, the new platform cannot determine the real weight of players well, and the players who have just been diverted are some players who are more greedy for immediate interests, which further contributes to this phenomenon.

That's why it develops to what it is now.

Soon, the group leader came out to speak.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, we have noticed this problem."

"The platform discussed urgently and decided to make certain changes to the agreement. After the game is removed from the shelves, it can be modified and applied for re-listing, but there is a time limit."

"After the first time it is removed from the shelves, it will take one month to apply; after the second time it is removed from the shelves, it will take two months to apply, and so on."

"The game that was released again after it was removed from the shelves will not participate in the evaluation. The original evaluation will only be used as a record and will not affect the data during the trial period when it is released again."

"If the game still fails to pass the probation period, then continue to be removed according to the previous rules and the next application will be extended to two months later."

"If the game has passed the trial period, old players can regain the latest version of the game by making up for the price difference."

Yan Qi carefully analyzed the new regulations and found that some loopholes had been blocked.

At least the game will not be directly sentenced to death, but can appeal again.

It is equivalent to a sudden death from the previous moment to an infinite resurrection.

Some games with too many bugs and incomplete game content are removed from the shelves, and can be modified before going online; those games that are maliciously removed from the shelves by players will not be able to comment on the previous players after they are released next time, but will change a group of players, which is more fair.

But the problem is... this method seems to be treating the symptoms but not the root cause!

Sure enough, someone in the group quickly raised objections.

"This method is not good. The most profitable time for a mobile game is the first one or two months. It will take a month to go online after being maliciously removed from the shelves. Isn't this all delayed? This time has been too long!"

"Yes, and changing a group of players may not necessarily solve the problem. If most players on the entire platform want to use this method to get free games for half a price, wouldn't most games be removed from the shelves? That platform can't be opened!"

"Don't blame me for being straightforward. In my opinion, this measure is too a layman. It is obviously a person who doesn't understand games."

"Yes, this measure doesn't work at all, so just cancel it! Games with low ratings don't give recommended resources, there is no need to take it off! It's also a loss for the platform!"

However, the group leader was unmoved: "Sorry, the regulations are regulations, and this cannot be changed."

"We have already had countermeasures for the problem of players deliberately not recommending it and maliciously removing the game, but it cannot be announced yet. Don't worry, you will definitely give you a satisfactory answer soon!"
Chapter completed!
