The video style of this "Tian Gongzi" is obviously completely different from Qiao Laoshi.
No matter which series of videos Qiao Laoshi makes, he will always start with a familiar opening line, a bit of a mean tone, and a greeting to the audience.
Briefly introduce the causes and consequences, and then you will naturally get to the point.
However, Mr. Tian's style was completely opposite. He went straight to the topic without any preliminary preparation or foreshadowing, and 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 is a black screen with regular explanatory subtitles.
"The sociological experiment that lasted for 16 days and cost a lot for Chaolu Game Platform has finally come to an end."
"Whether they got the results they expected, we don't know. Maybe this result disappointed them, maybe this result was already what they expected."
"But to them, the end result of it all may not matter."
"Importantly, this experiment makes us clear: It is still a luxury for some humans to stay sane for a long enough time."
…
This opening statement immediately stunned Yan Qi.
Just like the title "Torture of the Player's Soul", the opening statement is eye-catching enough, and it is not an exaggeration to even call it alarmist.
Why is it a sociological experiment?
How is it that keeping humans sane is a luxury?
Yan Qi once saw this last sentence in a classic domestic science fiction novel, but the specific words and sentences and the application scenarios are different.
Its original sentence should be: "It is indeed a luxury for human beings to remain rational forever."
The original sentence is "forever", but the sentence in the video is "a part of humanity, long enough", which obviously has lowered the requirements and made many discounts.
In the video, the statement after lowering the requirements is obviously less mocking and more helpless.
It means: let alone keeping all human beings sane forever, keeping some people sane for a long enough time is a luxury!
Especially when this sentence is said in the unique voice of AEEIS, it has a different feeling.
It's as if there really is an intelligent life with artificial intelligence standing opposite you, looking at all human beings expressionlessly, expressing its helplessness.
Of course, does artificial intelligence have the emotion of "helplessness"? It's hard to say.
But if there is no such emotion of "helplessness", it may seem even more helpless.
I have to say that this beginning attracted Yan Qi.
He was a little confused, how could there be any sociological experiments on the Chaolu Game Platform? Aren't they always making fools of themselves and playing a good hand of cards to pieces?
Can this be rounded? Can this be washed?
With confusion, Yan Qi continued to read.
…
“If you want to create a game platform for the purpose of making money, there is a set of mature, safe and complete templates that can be applied if there are sufficient funds.”
"Buy traffic directly from other channel providers, divert traffic directly from apps with many users, negotiate game exclusivity with well-known game developers... These are all starting plans with extremely high cost performance and zero risk."
"Placing a large amount of advertising online and offline is a method with extremely low cost performance, extremely low conversion rate, and extremely poor effect."
"This is common sense in the industry. Even the game operations of some small game companies know this method."
"Chaolu Game Platform is a game platform with sufficient financial resources. Judging from the quality of the platform's programs, the key members should be elites in the industry. For such a platform, there is no reason to not understand these contents."
…
The video briefly introduces these cost-effective starting solutions, including specific processes and individual successful cases.
Yan Qi couldn't help but nodded.
That’s indeed what happened!
In fact, if you want to start a game channel, it is not difficult as long as you have money.
The traffic of many channel providers is clearly priced. A recommended spot in a specific area can continuously lead users to a certain APP or a certain game. Although this traffic seems expensive, compared with advertising, it is more cost-effective.
Too high.
In the same way, you can also spend more money to cooperate with some app stores and stay on the APP recommendation list for a period of time. The effect is far better than advertising.
As for negotiating exclusivity with well-known game developers, a solution that most designers would like to have, let alone that.
In short, those who are a little more experienced in the industry can think of at least four or five more cost-effective ways to attract traffic. If enough money is spent, the Chaolu Game Platform can start safely and smoothly without too many worries.
However, Chaolu Game Platform chose the solution with the worst effect and lowest cost performance: advertising!
Of course, advertising is not impossible, but basically only the big game platforms have reached this point.
When certain game platforms have developed into very large channels with huge profits, and the previous solutions have failed to achieve obvious results, they will advertise online or even do TV ads to seek further progress.
Break the circle and attract more users.
When have you ever seen those small game platforms advertise online?
Therefore, this behavior of Chaolu Game Platform is indeed very abnormal.
Before, Yan Qi saw Chaolu Game Platform making random moves, and he felt anxious and angry.
But now that I think about it, it is too stupid and obviously unreasonable to attribute this simply to the fact that the person in charge of the platform is an amateur.
Because no matter how stupid you are, there must be a limit.
This choice is not difficult. With a simple explanation, ordinary netizens can tell which one is more cost-effective and which one is less cost-effective.
It can’t be said that the boss of Chaolu Game Platform is a particularly outrageous layman, arbitrary, unable to listen to other people’s opinions, and doesn’t even have the most basic logical thinking and understanding abilities, right?
This possibility is too low.
If a certain multiple-choice question has a total of four options, and the other three options are all correct answers at a glance, but the most outrageous wrong answer is chosen.
Can this be inferred that it is very likely that the wrong choice was made intentionally?
What's more, Yan Qi thought about it and realized that all the employees of Chaolu Gaming Platform seemed to obey the boss behind it.
If the leadership was by laymen and experts, then these employees would more or less have some complaints and would not just carry out the work without saying a word like now.
Therefore, there is probably a real problem!
Yan Qi hurriedly continued reading.
…
"Obviously, there is only one explanation for this situation: Chaolu Game Platform did it on purpose."
“The display of the number of game bugs on the platform, as well as the various regulations that ‘the game will be removed if the recommendation rate exceeds 55% during the trial period’, are actually a special experiment.”
To send benefits, go to the WeChat public account [Book Fan Base] and you can receive 888 red envelopes!
“The verification is that the game platform focuses on providing high-quality content, and after delegating all the rights to screen, judge and even remove games to players, can the players stay rational, achieve effective self-management, and make good use of these rights?
"
"Unfortunately, judging from the current results, the answer is no."
"Not only did a small number of players fail to stay rational, but they also successfully incited the majority of players on the platform to join such irrational behavior, thus allowing this right to be completely abused and completely contrary to the original intention of the platform."
“Obviously, we have gained more rights than other platforms, but this kind of rights has been damaged by players’ overemphasis on short-term interests, which has damaged long-term interests. Ultimately, the platform that treats players well has a worse environment than other platforms.
"
“Is this a tragedy for the gaming platform or a tragedy for the players?”
…
Yan Qi's eyes widened. These contents were a bit too shocking, causing him to fall into a confused state.
He originally wanted to drag the progress bar back and listen to this passage again, but fortunately he found that there was a more detailed explanation later.
The first is the special way to deal with bugs on the Chaolu game platform.
On other platforms, no matter whether the game has bugs or not, or how many bugs there are, as long as it can run normally, it can be launched, and bugs can be slowly fixed in the future.
Many players play semi-finished games with bugs, and some of these bugs can even seriously affect the gaming experience.
Logically speaking, this situation should not exist at all, because players pay for the finished game, not the semi-finished product.
If you go to a restaurant and after paying in full, you are served a half-cooked dish, then even if the chef repeatedly promises that he will add some ingredients and re-fry it until it is fully cooked in five minutes, the diners will definitely
He went crazy on the spot.
If a game is filled with many bugs that affect the game experience, then it should not be launched online. Instead, it should continue to be developed, fix the bugs, and reach a very high degree of completion before being launched online.
But for other platforms and game developers, a few bugs are nothing. If you go online early, you can make money early.
Therefore, the interests of the players are sacrificed.
Different from other platforms, Chaolu Game Platform strictly controls platform games, dissuading many half-finished games and giving up the huge benefits brought by these games, ensuring the gaming experience of players.
And in order to enhance players' sense of participation, everyone can see the bug modification status of each game in real time.
This is just like those restaurants that have transparent kitchens. Although it does not help improve the taste of the dishes, it allows diners to see the conditions of the kitchen, which itself shows a great trust.
But are the players grateful for this?
Not at all.
Not only was there no gratitude, but various conspiracy theories emerged. Some said it was hype by the platform, and some said it was fake data.
It is obviously a very necessary measure and a very important right, but most people don't care at all, and even doubt the motives of the platform.
