Other than that, the same game could not have the same recommendation spot within two months.
In other words, if a game was always ranked first among the reviewers, it would not be able to stay in the best recommendation spot. Instead, it would have to rotate among the top eight recommendation spots.
In other words, to get the best recommendation spot on the website, the game had to be in the top eight of the entire website.
At the same time, since each game category had its own recommendation spot, some niche games could be self-contained within the category section.
To allow the reviewers to better predict the current recommendation spot arrangement, there would be a special preview portal on the platform. It would clearly show what kind of recommendation spot each game would receive in the following week based on the number of votes from the current reviewers, and how many votes it would receive.
If the connoisseurs felt that the result was open to discussion, they could change their votes.
Although individual votes were not enough to directly change the final arrangement of the recommendation spot, the situation would change if more people changed it.
Finally, there was the appointment and dismissal policy for the reviewers.
When the reviewers were selected, a replacement reviewers would be selected based on 50% of the total number of reviewers.
Every player had the right to supervise and report the reviewers. If the reviewers had inappropriate behavior, such as giving recommendation spots to specific trash games for a long period of time, being suspected of doing secret deals, or having a strong personal bias in the game review and failing to objectively evaluate the game, the players could write a short essay to list the evidence and report the reviewers.
When the number of reports reached a certain number, and the officials verified that the reported problems existed, the reviewers would be dismissed and replaced by the replacement reviewers.
The reviewers who were dismissed would have a huge reduction in their weight. In other words, their priority would be lowered in the reviewers' selection, but they could still participate in the selection by writing more high-quality game reviews.
If they were dismissed multiple times, the weight of their weight would increase each time until they could no longer participate in the reviewers' selection.
…
After reading the details of the reviewers' system, Yan Qi could not help but exclaim, 'As expected of Morning Dew Gaming Platform!'
The reviewers' system could be seen as an extension and supplement of the rights given to the players.
Not only did it give the players the right to take down the game, but it also gave the players the right to arrange recommendation spots!
Moreover, the system seemed to be quite reasonable?
Allowing all players to have the right to take down the game was in fact ensuring that the entire platform's bottom line was kept. When a game was done poorly and was despised by the majority of players, it had to be taken off the shelves and corrected. This could effectively eliminate the trash games on the platform.
But if he wanted to raise the upper limit of the entire platform, he couldn't rely on this method.
Especially when it came to arranging recommendation spots, the recommendation level could not be the only indicator.
After all, games weren't just a form of entertainment. They were also a special form of art with a certain threshold. Most of the time, games with deep meanings and complicated gameplay would not be welcomed by the public at first. A small group of players had to take the lead to evaluate and analyze the game. Only then would the gameplay be gradually accepted by the public.
Many of Boss Pei's games went from not being understood in the beginning to ascending the altar. That was the process.
The recommendation spot represented the taste of the entire platform. If the players voted for it one by one, the games that were voted for would definitely be games that catered to the general public. Games that were more artistic and niche wouldn't stand a chance.
The connoisseur system could strike a good balance between the public's taste and the game's depth and artistry, which was equivalent to raising the upper limit of the entire platform's taste.
On top of that, the connoisseurs were constantly monitored.
If ordinary players felt that a connoisseur's butt was crooked or that they were being bribed, they could write a small report. Once the number of reports reached a certain level, the officials would intervene and judge.
That was equivalent to double insurance: a connoisseur would only be dismissed if both players and the officials felt that there was something wrong with them. That would prevent malicious reports from happening to the greatest extent.
Of course, Yan Qi also knew very well that in order to make the connoisseur system work perfectly, one must have a detailed understanding of the players' identity.
There would definitely be players or studios who would see the huge 'business opportunity' hidden behind the connoisseur system.
One had to know that the recommendation spots on many games platforms were clearly priced, and they were expensive. If one could buy off a connoisseur to get a good recommendation spot for one's own game, it would definitely be a profitable business.
Therefore, the platform had to subdivide each player.
Which were real players, which could be alternate accounts opened by studios, and how to ensure the authenticity of the data to the greatest extent were all problems that the staff of Morning Dew Games Platform had to consider.
That was a little difficult, but it should not be completely impossible. After all, Tengda's TPDb website had provided a very good example.
"From the looks of it, Morning Dew Gaming Platform has an expert guiding them."
"This connoisseur system is definitely not something that ordinary people could come up with!"
Yan Qi could not help but silently raise his evaluation of Morning Dew Games Platform.
…
At the same time, Pei Qian was also in his office looking at Morning Dew Games Platform's announcement about the connoisseur system.
"Eh? That's quite efficient. The announcement has already been released. "
Li Yada had sent the announcement to Pei Qian when he had just started work this morning.
Pei Qian glanced at it and saw that there were no problems. He then asked Li Yada to release it directly.
Of course, the connoisseur system could not be implemented immediately after the announcement was released. First, preparations had to be made. This included modifying the game platform's program, optimizing algorithms, pre-screening connoisseurs, encouraging players to write more game reviews, and so on.
It would still take some time before the system was officially released.
However, to Pei Qian, it did not matter how the connoisseurs chose. The key was whether the system could meet his expectations!
There were not many connoisseurs who controlled most of the recommendation spots on the entire platform. Ordinary players, connoisseurs, and game manufacturers — these three parties would definitely have many conflicts over this portion of the profits.
When that time came, players would fight amongst themselves and descend into chaos. Wouldn't that disrupt the order of the entire Morning Dew Games Platform?
Pei Qian felt that this was similar to 'two peaches killing three soldiers'.
Just as he was happily looking forward to the bright future of Morning Dew Games Platform, someone knocked on his office door.
He looked up and saw that it was Yu Fei.
"Boss Pei, the new announcement is ready. Please take a look."
Pei Qian reached out to take the printed announcement and quickly scanned the entire text.
Yu Fei was a newbie after all. He was not as efficient as Li Yada. It was the same announcement. Li Yada had already read and sent it to Boss Pei, but Yu Fei had only just finished.
However, that did not matter. Pei Qian liked Yu Fei's unprofessionalism.
This announcement was written according to Pei Qian's instructions last Friday. There were only two things mentioned: First, due to a mistake in internal communication and coordination, the update for Eternal Fallen Samsara was not as effective as expected and had caused players some trouble. Second, there would be an update for Eternal Fallen Samsara's combat system this Friday. The other updates would remain the same.
This apology was more vague. It only said that there was an internal mistake, but it did not say who made the mistake or where it was.
This was also Pei Qian's special instructions.
An apology was necessary. After all, there had been changes to the update plan. He had to give gamers a sincere and reasonable explanation.
Pei Qian was not worried that the apology would affect Tengda's glorious image. It would be better if it did.
However, there was no need to be so clear about some details. It did not matter whether the blame was Yu Fei's or Meng Chang's. Some things involved Tengda's internal affairs and should not be discussed in detail.
Pei Qian did not care at all about 'Tengda falling from its pedestal' that many people in the outside world were talking about.
He only had one thought: thank you for your auspicious words!
It would be great if they could really fall from their pedestal. Wouldn't that mean that Tengda Games could finally start incurring losses?
Forget it, such a good thing would probably not happen. He was just daydreaming.
Pei Qian nodded. "No problem, publish it."
Yu Fei took the announcement and said guiltily, "Also, Boss Pei, I want to apologize for my mistakes last week."
Pei Qian did not care about the bad comments and curses on the internet at all. He was even a little happy. However, Yu Fei obviously did not think so.
He felt that Tengda Games was famous and had never had any problems with so many projects. In the end, he had made a mistake the moment he took over. What's more, he had made a relatively stupid mistake. That had really let Boss Pei down.
Even though Meng Chang had comforted him last Friday, Yu Fei still felt very guilty when he saw Boss Pei again and wanted to apologize.
Pei Qian immediately said seriously, "Mistakes? What mistakes did you make? That was obviously Meng Chang's problem. "
"His publicity plan was not reliable to begin with. If not for that small oversight that exposed the problem with the publicity plan early, the entire plan might have caused an even more serious impact."
"Therefore, not only are you not at fault, but you even contributed!"
"You don't have to worry about this problem. Just follow the previous process. Hmm … I'll give you a raise later. "
Yu Fei nodded in shock. "Er … alright, Boss Pei."
Yu Fei felt even more apologetic after leaving Boss Pei's office.
"Boss Pei is really too magnanimous. He even pushed all the blame to Meng Chang in order to comfort me."
"However, this just happened to show the difference between my status and Meng Chang's. That's because Meng Chang is an old employee. Boss Pei felt that he was more able to take it. That's why he let him take the blame and take care of my feelings. "
"Even this announcement did not name me as the person in charge. Instead, it was vague and fooled me. This is a form of protection for me."
"My mentality was wrong before. I always felt that I was taking over, so I did not do my work 100% seriously …"
"I can't continue like this in the future. I can't let Boss Pei down!"
Yu Fei silently made up his mind.
