Losing Money to Be a Tycoon Chapter 1191 - Malicious Taking Off Shelves Appeared!

Chapter 1191: Malicious Taking Off Shelves Appeared!

Soon, soone else spoke.

“F*ck, I didn’t notice it before. Now that you ntion it, I realize that our ga’s recomndation rate has reached 47%. Erm… we’re about to be taken off the shelves!”

“Is our ga that bad? There are obviously more than 80% good reviews on other platforms!”

This was the chief planner of another local gas company in Jingzhou. It was different from the previous ga. This was a standalone leisure mobile ga that charged a fixed-rate system.

Logically speaking, the reputation of standalone gas should be better, but the problem was even more serious!

Yan Qi opened the webpage of Dawn gas platform. Indeed, the recomndation rate of these two gas was very worrying. One was 44%, the other was 47%!

There was no such thing as ratings on Dawn Gas. There would only be very straightforward ‘recomndation’ or ‘no recomndation’. If the recomndation rate did not reach 55%, the ga would not be able to pass the probation period and would be taken off the shelves directly.

On the other hand, if the ga had already passed the probation period, but for so reason, the recomndation rate would not reach 65%, the ga would still be taken off the shelves.

It had only been a few days, but the non-recomnding rate had already passed 40%. It could be said to be very dangerous!

Yan Qi was a little puzzled.

That shouldn’t be the case.

He knew that these two gas might be old gas but their operations were basically stable on other platforms and their reputation was not bad.

The first ga was a mobile ga with paywalls. It might not be comparable to outstanding gas but in the dostic mobile ga circle, it should not have fallen to a 44% recomndation rate, right?

The second ga was a buy-to-play standalone ga. It had a good reputation in the gaming circle as a whole. Its recomndation rate had reached 47%. That was even more ridiculous!

Previously, when Yan Qi was signing the contract, he had noticed that Dawn Gas had such a rule. If the recomndation rate exceeded 55%, it would be taken off the shelves directly. However, he did not pay much attention to it.

On one hand, it was because he could refund half of the money and not suffer too much loss. On the other hand, there was a special weighted algorithm in the recomndation rate. Yan Qi felt that it was unlikely that he would end up like this.

The specific recomndation rate and non-recomnded rate were not calculated according to the number of players’ heads according to the rules of the morning exposure gas platform. They were calculated after giving each player weight.

Simply put, the longer a ga was on a gaming platform, the more it would cost, and the more players would purchase a certain type of ga. They would have higher weightage when recomnding or not.

There was a very important indicator in this. It was the experience of a certain type of ga. For example, A and B players spent more money on A players, but B players played a large number of action gas. B players’ recomndation or not would have a higher weightage when judging action gas.

All in all, this was a relatively objective and comprehensive evaluation chanism. Even if there was a certain deviation, it would not be too big.

However… it seed like this chanism was not operating normally at the mont.

The others in the group were also shocked. They all showed great concern.

That was because the ga platform’s chanism would also affect them!

All of the ga developers had signed an agreent with Dawn Gas After the ga was released, there would be a week of ‘trial period’. If the recomndation rate did not exceed 55%, they would all be taken off the shelves!

At first, everyone thought that it would not be difficult. After all, the ga’s recomndation rate was lower than 45%. That was equivalent to two points out of five points on other platforms.

There weren’t many gas on other platforms that had 2 points as well, right?

Coupled with this weighted algorithm, as long as it was a good quality ga with no bugs, wouldn’t it be normal to pass when it was just released?

However, looking at the situation of these two gas, things were obviously not that simple.

“What’s going on? Why is the recomndation rate so high?”

“Is it because this weighted algorithm is not working? After all, Dawn Gas platform has just been released not long ago. Therefore, gars are lacking in information on this platform. This weighted algorithm cannot distinguish gars very clearly.”

“That’s possible! What’s more, it might be because there are few players and few samples. Thus, there would be a huge deviation in the probability, causing the ratings to be wrong.”

“That’s not right. Players have to buy the ga before they can comnt. Players who don’t like this ga type would not buy it at all. Why would they not recomnd it?”

“No matter what, I have to quickly perfect this rule. The bugs in our ga are about to be modified. They will be released in two days. What if they are taken off the shelves?”

Everyone was very concerned. They helped to analyze and @ group leaders to think of ways.

Before the group leaders could say anything, the person-in-charge of the first ga spoke again.

“The new platform has very few players. It’s true that the weightage algorithm is not accurate, but that’s not the main problem!”

“At first, I was also puzzled as to why the recomndation rate was so high. However, when an employee of ours infiltrated the gar group, I realized what was going on!”

“So it’s because so gaming guilds are exploiting loopholes. After charging in the ga, they want to use this thod to obtain half of the refund!”

“That’s because other gars would benefit from the ga if it was taken down. Therefore, there are still many gars supporting it. The recomndation rate is getting higher and higher!”

The person-in-charge of the standalone ga suddenly realized sothing. “I see! That can explain why our ga is a quality standalone ga, but the recomndation rate is so high!”

So people did not understand and asked, “Huh? But what benefits would it be for players to take the ga down? Wouldn’t they not be able to play it anymore?”

Soone imdiately reminded him. “No, even if the ga is taken off the shelves, gars can still play it. However, there will not be new servers and follow-up maintenance. The problem is that the current gas will not have follow-up updates and maintenance!”

The people in the group were all the people in charge of various gas companies. They did not know much about such inside information. Thus, they quickly analyzed the truth of the matter.

Obviously, gars had taken advantage of the refund system!

According to the rules of the Dawn Gas platform, if the ga’s recomndation rate was too high, it ant that there was a very serious problem with this ga. Taking the ga down and refunding part of it was a responsible act for players.

However, it was obvious that gars were not rejecting the recomndation because of the ga’s quality. Instead, they were refunding it!

One of the two gas was a Krypton Gold Online Ga that was nearing the end of its life. On the first day of its launch, so gaming guilds were stationed there.

After researching the chanism of the platform, these people suddenly realized that it seed to be more advantageous for them to take the ga off the shelves!

According to the platform’s regulations, they could continue playing after the ga was taken off the shelves. However, no new players would be added. This ga would not be updated in the future.

However, this old ga would not have been updated in the first place!

Even if it was updated, it would probably not affect the ga itself.

What’s more, mobile gas were all operating on small servers. On average, they would open a new server every two or three days. Thus, to these old players, whether new players ca or not did not affect their gaming experience. That was because even if new players ca, they would go to the new server and not the old server.

Removing the ga ant that players who charged the ga would get half of the refund.

Don’t belittle this half of the refund. How many gas with paywalls would organize such an unlimited and 50% promotional event?

Now, he had enough money to spend in one go. After the ga was taken off the shelves, he would get half of the profits. He would not be able to top up the ga in the future. However, he could use the money that he had previously spent to maintain the lead on other players and continue to do whatever he wanted.

The gars of that standalone ga obviously had the sa goal.

To them, the restrictions were even less. That was because this standalone ga was also at the end of its life. It would be very difficult for the developer to recoup their costs by investing in new versions of the ga. They might as well develop new projects.

Therefore, removing this ga could save half of the money for these players without any negative impact.

Since he could do it by clicking the ‘not recomnded’ button, why not click it?

What’s more, as many people had analyzed, the new platform could not very well determine the true weight of players, and the newly directed players were players who were greedy for imdiate benefits. These two points further fueled this phenonon.

That was why things had developed to this stage.

Soon, the group leader spoke.

“Everyone, calm down. We’ve already noticed this problem.”

“The platform had an ergency discussion and decided to make so modifications to the agreent. After the ga is taken off the shelves, they can modify it and apply to be put up again. However, there is a ti limit.”

“After being taken off the shelves the first ti, they would have to apply a month later; after the second ti was taken off the shelves, they would only apply two months later, and so on.”

“The old gars who had been evaluated previously would not participate in the ga that was released after it was taken off the shelves. The original evaluation would only be used as a record and would not affect the data for the trial period when it was released again.”

“If the ga still does not pass the probation period, then continue to take it off the shelves according to the previous rules. The next application will be extended to two months later.”

“If the ga passes the probation period, old gars can use the difference in price to obtain the latest version of the ga.”

Yan Qi carefully analyzed this new rule and found that there was a part of a loophole.

At the very least, the ga would not be sentenced to death. Instead, it could be made to appeal.

It was equivalent to going from instant death to unlimited revival.

So gas that had too many bugs and incomplete ga content could be released after being modified. Those gas that had been maliciously removed by players could not be evaluated by previous players the next ti they were released. Instead, they would be changed to a new batch of players. That would be fairer.

However, the problem was… this thod seed to treat the symptoms but not the main problem!

Indeed, soone in the group quickly raised objections.

“That won’t do. The most profitable ti for a mobile ga is one or two months ago. In the end, it would take a month for it to be released after it was maliciously taken off the shelves. Wouldn’t that be a delay? That’s too long!”

“That’s right. What’s more, changing a group of gars might not be able to solve the problem. What if most of the gars on the entire platform want to use this thod to freeload the ga? Wouldn’t most of the gas be taken off the shelves? Then, the platform would not be able to open!”

“Don’t bla for being straightforward. In my opinion, this asure is too foreign. Obviously, soone who doesn’t understand gas thought of it.”

“That’s right. This asure won’t work at all. We might as well get rid of it! It’ll be fine as long as we don’t provide recomndation resources for gas with low ratings. There’s no need to take them off the shelves! It’s a loss to the platform as well!”

However, the group leader was unmoved. “I’m sorry, rules are rules. This cannot be changed.”

“We already have a counterasure for the gars deliberately not recomnding and maliciously taking the ga down. However, we cannot announce it yet. Don’t worry, everyone. We will definitely give everyone a satisfactory answer soon!”
