Chapter 10 Is the game industry going to change?

One o'clock in the morning.

The Infinity Games Building is still brightly lit.

On the floor where the game review department is located, hundreds of professional game reviewers are still in the game warehouse to evaluate the content of the new game.

As the largest gaming platform in China, the work of the audit department is undoubtedly heavy.

Because one of the rules of the Unlimited Game Platform is that all games that want to activate the paid function must apply for platform review.

As for the review method, it is naturally carried out by the platform's game reviewer.

Reviewing whether the game can enable the charging function is only part of the game review department’s many tasks.

Free games that have been released and started running, they also need to be reviewed.

For example, some games have content that is not suitable for children, and the review team will label such games with corresponding labels.

With games with corresponding tags, they will not be pushed by the platform to players under the age of 18, nor will they be able to search for such games.

It not only protects the physical and mental health of underage players, but also conforms to social values ​​and creates a healthy gaming environment.

In addition, when reviewing the game content, the auditor found that the game content violates national policies and regulations, promotes feudal superstition, insults ethnic and religious beliefs and living habits, or has other vulgar content, the audit team is also obliged to ban such games.

If the circumstances are serious, the staff of the review department will also report the game publisher to the local organization and severely punish violators.

Therefore, while having the best treatment and highest authority, the responsibility of the audit department is also very important.

The workload is also the heaviest among all departments of the unlimited platform.

The department implements a three-shift system and operates 24 hours a day without interruption. Each game auditor is a professional who has undergone professional training and has extremely high game understanding ability.

...

At this time, in the office of the supervisor of the audit department, the supervisor Fang Chong stared at the virtual screen and was checking the daily data report feedback from the background.

Today's game - 124 models

Today's paid permission game - 76 models

Today's blocked game - 3 models

New games are ranked positively (new games within one week)

Ranking of retention rates of new game players (new game within one week)

New game potential list (comparison of player download rate and online rate)

...

After drinking a sip of coffee, Fang Chong stopped for a while and continued to read.

In the report, a game attracted Fang Chong's attention.

Although the data of this game is ordinary and not produced by a well-known game studio, it has no highlights intuition.

But what Fang Chong noticed was.

The uninstall rate of this game is actually 0, and it is almost 100% positive.

Such abnormal data aroused Fang Chong's curiosity.

So he clicked on the details page of this game and read the player's ratings.

While reading, Fang Chong found that many players were actually complaining about the problem of this game.

Especially several players who gave bad reviews were crazy about the unreasonable phenomena in the game in the rating section.

What makes Fang Chong wonder is that since there are negative reviews and some players are dissatisfied with the game content, why is the uninstall rate of this game 0?

This is very unscientific.

So, Fang Chong used the platform permission to click on the personal information pages of several players who gave negative reviews to try to find the answer.

Bad review player: Li Zhi ("Quan Shen" game duration is 150 hours, and the game is online)

Bad review player: Hu Li (the game duration of "Quan Shen" is 156 hours, and the game is online)

Bad review player: Xu Miyi (The game of "Quan Shen" lasts 142 hours, and the game is online)

...

After looking through the information page of the negative review players, Fang Chong looked confused.

Although there were negative reviews, these players were still playing this game.

I looked back at the comments that were full of fragrance from the negative review players, then looked at their game duration, and finally looked at the time of the game being released.

Fang Chong:???

The game has only been on the shelves for a few days, and your game has lasted more than 140 hours.

Since I think the game is not fun, why are you still so heartless?

More importantly, it is already past 1 a.m.... I have to play games that I give bad reviews if I don’t sleep. What’s my mentality?

The abnormal situation made Fang Chong realize one thing: the real positive review rate of this game should be 100%.

This can explain why there are negative reviews, but the game uninstall rate is 0.

This is the first time Fang Chong has seen such a weird game data in so many years.

No matter how good the game is, it is impossible to have such a high player retention rate. There are generally players who do not like game content to uninstall the game.

If you can ensure a retention rate of 80%, it is already a very good result.

Therefore, the bizarre data of the game "Quan Shen" aroused Fang Chong's curiosity.

After thinking for a while, Fang Chong stepped towards the virtual game warehouse in the office, preparing to experience the game content and see how the game content is.

...

A few hours later, the game warehouse opened.

Fang Chong walked out of the game warehouse and came to his desk, lit a cigarette and sat down.

After taking a deep breath, he opened his mouth and spit out a circle of white mist, and his eyes could not hide his shock.

A 100% realistic game!

After entering the game with curiosity, Fang Chong realized how incredible this game was.

If someone told him that he would release a 100% realistic game recently before entering this game, he would definitely sneer.

As a senior member of the game industry, he knows clearly that 100% realistic games do not belong to this era.

Even if there is, the R&D process cannot be silent.

After all, in the game market, the flow of game R&D talents, they all have data in their hands.

Because newcomers who have obtained the game development professional qualification certificate will basically register their personal information on the unlimited game platform.

Therefore, major game companies can poach each other and the flow of game R&D talents can all have real-time information.

Through talent flow information, the platform can not only analyze the research and development direction of the company's new game, but also consider what type of game the game company is preparing to make.

So a game with 100% realistic suddenly appeared, but the game market had no feedback, which was simply impossible in Fang Chong's opinion.

However, the facts were right in front of him, and he couldn't help but refuse to believe it.

However, Fang Chong, who just entered the game, believes that the content of 100% realistic is only a very small part of the game scene and cannot be all.

So Fang Chong spent the next few hours exploring the game content, trying to find the truth he thought.

But after hours of exploration, Fang Chong, who had only explored less than 1% of the map content of Dragon Scale Island, found that he was wrong, and was ridiculously wrong.

Because "The God" is really a 100% realistic game.

He was amazed by the various details displayed in the game.

For example, when the wind blows the leaves, the leaves naturally shake, the footprints left when walking through the muddy land, and the traces left by other players in the game...

He even discovered that there was a complete food chain in the game.

Insects, birds, beasts, etc...

The more you understand, the more shocked Fang Chong was.

What made him most incredible was that he clicked on the zoom function on the Dragon Scale Island map. In the mist, he could see that Dragon Scale Island was just a small corner north of the map.

If the real scenes in the game are as huge as the map display... Fang Chong can no longer imagine it.

Because such a game can be called the Second World.

A world that is far larger, more fantastic, full of incredible and interesting than the earth.

After smoking several cigarettes, Fang Chong's hand trembled slightly with the cigarette in his hand, and he could not calm down for a long time.

As a practitioner in the game industry, he was once a player and had longed for a game with 100% realistic level.

But after truly getting involved in this industry and understanding it, Fang Chong knew that his dream would never be realized in his lifetime.

Dreams come true now.

Surprise, fear, excitement, fear... all kinds of emotions are intertwined in Fang Chong's heart.
