The video officially began.
The style of this' Young Master Tian's' video was obviously completely different from Teacher Qiao's.
No matter which series of videos Teacher Qiao made, he would always start with the familiar opening remarks, a slightly cheap tone, and greeting the audience.
He would briefly introduce the cause and effect, and then naturally enter the main topic.
However, this Young Master Tian's style was completely different. There was no prior preparation or foreshadowing at all, and he directly entered the main topic. Even Yan Qi, who was used to quickly skipping the first ten seconds, almost missed the key information.
At the beginning of the video, there was a black screen, accompanied by the usual explanatory subtitles.
"After 16 days, the sociological experiment of Morning Dew Gaming Platform, which cost a lot, has finally come to an end.
"We don't know if they got the results they expected. Perhaps this result made them very disappointed, or perhaps this result was already within their expectations.
"However, to them, the final outcome of all of this may not be important.
"What's important is that this experiment has made one thing clear: it is still an extravagant wish for some humans to maintain their rationality for a long enough time."
…
This opening statement directly stunned Yan Qi.
Just like the title 'Soul Interrogation of Players', the opening statement was eye-catching enough, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was alarmist.
How did it become a sociological experiment?
How was it an extravagant wish for humans to maintain their rationality?
Yan Qi had seen the last sentence in a classic domestic science fiction novel before, but the specific words and the application of the scene were different.
Its original sentence should have been: "It is indeed an extravagant wish for humans to maintain their rationality forever."
The original sentence was' forever ', but the sentence in the video was' some humans, for a long enough time '. Obviously, it had already lowered the requirements and made a lot of discounts.
In the video, after lowering the requirements, there was obviously less mockery and more helplessness.
What it meant was: it was an extravagant wish for some humans to maintain their rationality for a long enough time, let alone for all humans to maintain their rationality forever!
Especially when this sentence was said with the unique voice of AEEIS, it had a different feeling.
It was as if there was really an intelligent life of artificial intelligence standing in front of you, looking at all humans expressionlessly, expressing its helplessness.
Of course, did artificial intelligence have such emotions as' helplessness'? It was hard to say.
However, if there was no such emotion as' helplessness', it might seem even more helpless.
It had to be said that this opening attracted Yan Qi.
He was a little puzzled. How could there be sociological experiments on the Morning Dew Gaming Platform? Hadn't he been making stupid moves and playing a good hand of cards into a mess?
Could it be that this could also be a circle? This can also be washed?
Puzzled, Yan Qi continued to read.
…
"If you want to create a gaming platform to earn money, there is a set of mature, stable, and complete templates that you can use as long as you have sufficient funds.
"Buy traffic directly from other channels, direct traffic from apps with many users, negotiate with well-known game developers about exclusive game ownership … These are all extremely cost-effective and risk-free starting plans."
"Placing a large number of advertisements online and offline is a method with a low price-performance ratio, a very low conversion rate, and a very poor effect.
"This is common knowledge in the industry. Even the operations of some small gaming companies know of this method."
"Morning Dew Gaming Platform is a gaming platform with sufficient financial resources. From the quality of the platform's program, the core members should be the elites of the industry. There's no reason for a platform like this to not understand this content. "
…
The video briefly introduced these cost-effective starting plans, including the specific process and individual successful cases.
Yan Qi nodded as he watched.
That was indeed the case!
Actually, it was not difficult to start a gaming channel as long as you had the money.
Many channel businesses had a clear price for traffic. A recommendation spot in a specific area could continuously direct users to a certain app or game. Although the traffic seemed expensive, it was much more cost-effective than advertising.
Similarly, you could spend more money to cooperate with some app stores and put the app on the recommendation list for a period of time. The effect was far better than advertising.
As for negotiating with well-known game developers about exclusive game ownership, which most designers could think of, it was even more difficult.
In short, the slightly more experienced industry insiders could think of at least four or five more cost-effective ways to attract traffic. With enough money, Morning Dew Gaming Platform could get off the ground safely, smoothly, and without too many worries.
However, Morning Dew Gaming Platform had chosen the plan with the worst effect and the lowest price-performance ratio: advertising!
Of course, it wasn't impossible to advertise, but basically, only big gaming platforms would go to this step.
When a certain gaming platform had developed into a huge channel and earned a lot of money, and the previous plans were no longer effective, they would advertise online, or even on television, in order to break out of the circle and attract more users.
When had he ever seen those small gaming platforms advertise on the internet?
Therefore, Morning Dew Gaming Platform's behavior was indeed very abnormal.
Previously, Yan Qi was anxious and angry when he saw Morning Dew Gaming Platform's stupid moves.
However, on second thought, it was obviously unreasonable to attribute it to the person in charge of the platform being an amateur and too stupid.
That was because no matter how stupid they were, there had to be a limit.
Such a choice was not difficult. With a simple explanation, ordinary netizens would be able to distinguish which was more cost-effective and which was less.
They could not say that the boss of Morning Dew Gaming Platform was a very, very ridiculous amateur who acted arbitrarily, did not listen to other people's opinions, and did not even have the most basic logical thinking and understanding ability, right?
The possibility of that happening was far too low.
If there was a multiple-choice question with a total of four choices, and the other three could be confirmed to be correct at a glance, but they chose the most ridiculous wrong answer …
Could it be inferred that there was a high possibility that they had chosen the wrong answer on purpose?
Moreover, Yan Qi thought about it and realized that all the employees of Morning Dew Gaming Platform seemed to listen to the boss behind it.
If it was a layman leading an expert, these employees would more or less have some complaints and would not carry out the tasks without saying a word like now.
Therefore, there was most likely a problem!
Yan Qi hurriedly continued reading.
…
"Obviously, there was only one explanation for this situation: Morning Dew Gaming Platform did it on purpose.
"The display of the number of bugs in the game on the platform, as well as the various rules of 'the game will be removed if the recommendation rate exceeds 55% during the trial period', were actually a special experiment.
"The content of the experiment was that the gaming platform focused on providing quality content, and after the right to filter, judge, and even remove the game was delegated to the players, could the players maintain their rationality, achieve effective self-management, and make good use of these rights?
"Unfortunately, based on the current results, the answer is no.
"Not only did a small number of players not maintain their rationality, but they also succeeded in inciting the majority of the players on the platform to join in this irrational ranks, thus allowing this right to be completely abused, completely going against the original intention of the platform.
"Clearly, they obtained more rights than other platforms, but this right harmed long-term interests because the players attached too much importance to short-term interests. In the end, the environment of the platform that treated the players better became worse than other platforms.
"Is this the tragedy of the gaming platform or the players?"
…
Yan Qi's eyes widened. The content was a little too shocking, so much so that he fell into a state of confusion.
He originally wanted to drag the progress bar back and listen to the speech again, but fortunately, he realized that there was a more detailed explanation at the end.
First, it was the special handling of bugs on Morning Dew Gaming Platform.
For other platforms, regardless of whether the game had bugs or how many bugs there were, as long as it could run normally, they could go online, and the bugs could be slowly fixed later.
Many players were playing half-finished games with bugs. Some of these bugs could even seriously affect the gaming experience.
Logically, such a situation should not exist at all, because the players paid for the finished game, not the half-finished one.
If they went to a restaurant to eat, and after paying in full, a half-cooked dish was served, even if the chef repeatedly promised that he would add more ingredients in five minutes and cook it back to the pot, the diners would definitely fly into a rage on the spot.
If a game was filled with many bugs that affected the game experience, then it should not be released. Instead, it should continue to be developed, fixed the bugs, and only be released when it reached a high degree of completion.
However, to other platforms and game developers, what were a few bugs? The earlier they went online, the earlier they could make money.
Therefore, the interests of the players were sacrificed.
Unlike other platforms, Morning Dew Gaming Platform was strict with the platform's games, dissuading many half-finished games, giving up the huge benefits brought by these games, and ensuring the gaming experience of the players.
Moreover, to increase the players' sense of participation, everyone could see the bug fixing status of each game in real time.
This was like those restaurants with transparent kitchens, although it did not help improve the taste of the dishes, allowing the diners to see the situation in the kitchens itself showed a great deal of trust.
However, did the players feel grateful for this?
Not at all.
Not only did they not feel grateful, but all kinds of conspiracy theories appeared. Some said that it was the platform's hype, some said that it was fake data.
It was clearly a very necessary move, a very important right, but most people did not care at all, and even suspected the motives of the platform.
