After watching this video, Yan Qi felt an indescribable sense of loss.
It's as if this video was really made by artificial intelligence AEEIS. With the thinking of an artificial intelligence, from a third-party perspective, it fairly and objectively judged the entire incident and said something to these short-sighted players on the platform.
Sarcasm from the heart.
It seems to be saying: You humans still pride yourself on being advanced beings and intelligent creatures, and that’s it? You can’t even distinguish between immediate interests and long-term interests, and you can’t even control your own low-level desires. You are just a big one.
Paramecium!
I'm very angry, but I can't seem to find any way to refute it.
Because that may indeed be the case.
In the Internet age, this is a very frustrating phenomenon: everyone thinks that they are rational and smart, they can distinguish right from wrong, and they will also be filled with indignation about many things; but on the Internet, countless people
When "sane" and "smart" people gather together, they often do things that are even more short-sighted than a paramecium, making other rational people laugh and laugh.
Obviously, humans sometimes overestimate themselves.
Yan Qi doesn't know how to solve this problem, or in other words, no one in the world knows. Countless philosophers, sociologists, biologists, and artists have discussed this problem a lot, and there are also a large number of classic works.
But for this complex topic of human nature, I am afraid that there will always only be phased results, but not a final conclusion.
Yan Qi even asked himself, if he were not the designer of "Blade of the Empire", but just an ordinary player who accidentally entered the Chaolu game platform, then he could insist on always judging these games from an objective perspective and resist the 50-year delay after they were removed from the shelves.
The temptation of % refund?
He was surprised to find that his answer was, I don't know.
Maybe he would make the right choice, but he wasn't sure.
This made him feel even more lost.
However, Yan Qi quickly got rid of this loss, because he realized that the appearance of this video was something to be thankful for, and he did gain something from this incident.
At least he understood one thing: in many things, if everyone chooses to be alone, then this matter may never change; and the first person to do something may look stupid, be misunderstood, and
Suffering huge pressure and losses may seem pointless, but at least he awakened more people.
Just like the Chaolu Game Platform, this platform has used its short-lived existence to make many designers and players re-examine themselves.
Yan Qi has always felt that players cannot be trusted. The designer's mission is to set various rules and regulations so that players who like to take advantage of loopholes can find no loopholes to exploit, so that the game can run normally.
But now Yan Qi realizes that this may be the most efficient and best way to solve the problem, but it is not necessarily the most correct way.
Just like the famous saying: There are only two ways to solve problems in the world, one is the easy way and the other is the right way.
If you think about it carefully, isn't it a very proud and honorable thing for you to witness the entire process of this gaming platform from its emergence to its demise?
No matter what, we are doing the right thing with this gaming platform, so what if the game is taken down?
You can make money again, but such meaningful things are not something you can just do if you want to.

Chaolu Game Platform has already accomplished the most difficult part. For game developers, they only need to finish the game, fix the bugs, and then wait silently.
But even with such a simple thing, many game developers still fail to do it well.
When I saw that my own game was about to be taken off the shelves, I ran over to put pressure on Chaolu Game Platform and asked them to change the rules of the platform. I only saw my own interests being damaged, and completely ignored that Chaolu Game Platform actually sacrificed more and suffered a huge loss.
part of the pressure.
Even Yan Qi himself had many doubts about the Chaolu gaming platform before, and even wanted to give up the platform and find another place.
This is really embarrassing.
"I will also contribute my modest efforts to the platform and persevere to the end!"
"The worst thing is that it will be removed from the shelves. After being removed from the shelves, wait a month before putting it back on the shelves. It's another good thing. Moreover, you can also go to other platforms to make money without having to worry about starving to death."
"In any case, keeping our games in the game library of Chaolu Game Platform is a small effort!"
After figuring this out, Yan Qi felt suddenly enlightened.
Even if there is no result in this matter in the future, so what? It is enough to have a clear conscience.
After thinking clearly, Yan Qi clicked on the comment area of this video.
While he was engaged in ideological struggle, the comments, comments and other data of the video also increased rapidly.
This video is well-produced and has concise content. It discusses hot topics in the current gaming circle. It has been forwarded and recommended by Qiao Laoshi, and the traffic drainage effect is naturally excellent.
Obviously, the netizens in the comment area were also like Yan Qi, who suddenly woke up as if they were enlightened.
"That's so well said! I thought Chaolu Game Platform was too stupid before. How could it be so stupid? Now I realize that it's not stupid, but that it's done knowing that it can't be done!"
"It's so touching. It makes me heartbroken. Hey, it turns out that many people simply don't deserve such a good platform!"
"That is, they strictly control the quality of games, require all games to have bugs corrected before they can be released online, and also give players the privilege to remove games. But in the end, they use their rights in this way? It is simply hopeless!"
"I'm not convinced! Let alone all AOE players, the ones causing trouble on the Chaolu game platform are just a small group of locusts that move between different platforms. They don't care about the life or death of the platform! Most players can still tell right from wrong.
Wrong, it’s just that this is a new platform and most sane players have not gone there.”
"That's right, I just saw an advertisement for this platform online before. I had no idea there were so many stories behind it. I'm going to log in right away!"
"Such a good platform cannot be ruined by these low-quality players. I will also help and do my best!"
"The feeling of living toward death on the Chaolu Game Platform really moved me, and reminded me of Tenda. I originally thought that only Tenda could do such stupid things, and I had been looking forward to Tenda releasing a game platform.
Although this platform is not produced by Tenda, it is doing the same thing as Tenda, so for this reason, I want to support it!"
"Who is this Mr. Tian? It feels like he is just a puppet who posted the video. Could it be that the real author of the video is AEEIS? This feeling is exactly the same as when AEEIS was arguing, they are all refuting people.
I am speechless."
"Indeed, this aggressive posture is completely different from other UP owners."
"No way, is there an omnic crisis coming?"
Many players are speculating, who is this Mr. Tian?
I always feel like I'm not an ordinary person.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find any relevant information online, and the video didn't reveal any information at all.
It's like a completely transparent existence.
In addition, a large number of players were obviously moved by this video like Yan Qi and went to the Chaolu Game Platform to help.
Judging from the current situation of the Chaolu gaming platform, a few more rational players will have no effect at all.
After all, whether the entire mechanism of the platform can continue to operate healthily depends on the decisions of the majority of players on the platform. A few players are not enough.
But what if the influx of players is large enough to change the previous player group structure?
Yan Qi suddenly realized that things might not be as bad as he thought.
The current situation of Chaolu Game Platform seems to be hopeless. After all, when the right to remove games is handed over to players, how things will develop is no longer the platform’s final say.
It is impossible for the platform to break its promise to take back this right, because that would be a slap in the face and make the platform completely lose its uniqueness.
But expecting these players to suddenly realize their conscience? That is obviously unrealistic.
But now Yan Qi suddenly discovered that there is another possibility to solve the problem.
That is to complete a major overhaul of the entire game platform and completely change the structure of players on the entire platform!
At present, the majority of players only focus on immediate interests and do not care about the life and death of the platform. This is because the Chaolu Game Platform is a new platform. The games on it are not attractive to many old players, and only these qualities can be attracted.
Just a relatively poor player.
This video is obviously not enough to influence these players and make them give up their immediate interests.
To be precise, I'm afraid nothing is enough to influence these players.
But what if this video can publicize the behavior of Chaolu Game Platform, let more rational players join, gradually dilute these short-sighted players, change the player structure of the entire platform, and spontaneously form a better environment?
This may require a certain process and cannot be completed overnight, and the cost is huge, requiring long-term losses.
But as long as you persist, there is still hope.
Whether this is ultimately successful depends on how you view the entire player base.
If you think that the majority of players are short-sighted, irrational, and only focus on immediate interests, then Chaolu Game Platform will not last long;
If you think that the majority of players are rational people who can distinguish between immediate interests and long-term interests, then as long as the Chaolu gaming platform lasts for a period of time, it will always develop slowly, and in the later stages it will become smoother and smoother.
The better.
Yan Qi asked himself, he would still choose to believe the latter.
Reality and ideals are different, and similarly, real reality and expected reality are also different.
For many people, they have to believe in something in order for life to have meaning, goals to pursue, and motivation to persevere.
"I should learn more from these people on the Chaolu Gaming Platform. I don't want eternal life, but I want a clear conscience."
"Just keep working on my game!"
Yan Qi suddenly had a very open-minded feeling, and the entanglement and melancholy he had felt before all disappeared when he thought about it clearly.
It was as if he was infected by a certain optimistic spirit and figured out some things.
If a goal is extremely difficult to achieve, don't think about it over and over again, but focus on taking the first step and letting things take their own course.
Anyway, companies like Tenda have already stepped forward. How difficult can it be to keep up quietly by yourself?
…
At the same time, Yangcheng.
The southern studio of the incubation base of Qitu Project.
After getting his studio in the northern part of the imperial capital on track, Qiu Hong went non-stop to Shanghai and Yangcheng, where he opened the eastern and southern studios respectively.
Everything is working fine so far.
The Imperial Capital, Magic Capital and Yangcheng can be said to be the most developed places in the country for the game industry, with a large number of talents. Therefore, there will definitely be no shortage of people in the incubation base. The only problem is how to find them.
After some training in the Imperial Capital, Qiu Hong has become very skilled in quickly finding people and quickly judging whether a certain game should be funded by the Jiutu Project.
Of course, this is not a difficult technical job to begin with. After all, Mr. Pei never cared about whether these games were successful or failed.
Moreover, there was no need for Qiu Hong to take the initiative to find him, and naturally a large number of independent game designers came to his door.
Since the last official platform editor-in-chief Xia Jiang published the interview, many people have suspected that the real investor behind the Qitu Plan is President Pei of Tenda Group.
But Qiu Hong always kept Mr. Pei's teachings in mind and refused to acknowledge him even if he was beaten to death.
Previously, the official platform interviewed the Qitu Project incubation base, and then interviewed Meng Chang, who was in charge of the promotion of the "Domestic Game Collection". There was only more than a day between them, which obviously had some hint.
In addition, the layout of the Qitu Plan incubation base has some similarities with Tenda Group. They eat Moyu takeout and use managed fitness...
It’s also hard not to doubt this.
But suspicion is suspicion, and even if Qiu Hong refuses to admit it, nothing will happen.
Moreover, there are so many independent game designers in the Qiutu Project, and not every game is very popular. There are also some games that have not performed well and are not very popular among players, and the producers are still busy revising them.
In the final analysis, pure emotion is definitely not enough. In the end, players will only pay for excellent games.
In short, Qiutu Project became popular for a while after that, and then the popularity gradually dropped a bit and returned to stability. Except for some players who are keen on domestic independent games who have continued to pay attention, that is, in the circle of independent game designers
It's quite famous.
Today's independent game designers are proud to have received the investment from the Qitu Project, which has allowed the three studios in the incubation base to develop rapidly.
After half a year of development, a batch of new games have emerged from the three studios of Qitu Project. The previous games that have been highly praised after release or pre-sale, such as "Working Dog Survival Manual" and "Ink Cloud Smoke" etc.
, and is still being continuously updated and maintained.
For independent game producers, the speed of output is far unable to compare with those of large companies, because there are not enough manpower after all.
Therefore, after a game is developed, in order to fully express all the ideas you want to express, you may need to continuously add things and content to it over a long period of one or two years. This is an inevitable process.
In any case, the Qitu Project has hatched a number of excellent games as Mr. Pei expected.
At this time, Qiu Hong had just finished watching Mr. Tian’s video.
"Is there such a gaming platform?"
"Isn't Mr. Pei going to invest?"
Seeing the performance of Chaolu Gaming Platform, Qiu Hong's first reaction was that it would definitely get investment from Yuanmeng Venture Capital.
Because it matches Mr. Pei’s style so well!
Even Qiu Hong was a little suspicious that this might be the gaming platform created by Mr. Pei.
After researching for a long time, he found that Chaolu Game Platform did not capture Tenda account data, nor did it list any Tenda games. Qiu Hongcai reluctantly accepted the fact that this platform had no direct relationship with Tenda.
"This kind of gaming platform is really valuable!"
"I have to help them!"
"After all, when Mr. Pei asked me to do the Endless Plan, wasn't it just to support the development of domestic independent games? Then, it is also my duty to help and support good domestic game platforms, right?"
"After all, Mr. Pei has been teaching us through words and deeds, conveying this concept to us!"
Qiu Hong immediately decided to package all the games of Qiutu Project and put them on the Chaolu Game Platform!
Is it ridiculous that such a conscientious gaming platform has few high-quality games?
Qitu Plan and Chaolu Game Platform sound like a perfect match!
Of course, there are also some games in the Qitu Plan, but the quality is not very good, or there are many bugs, and they may not meet the requirements of the Chaolu Game Platform.
But so what? If there are bugs, fix them. If the game quality is not good, then change them.
Anyway, Mr. Pei originally had very high requirements for the games of the Jiutu Project, and all the failed games had to be redone. Compared with Mr. Pei’s requirements, what are the requirements from the Chaolu Game Platform?
Qiu Hong felt that this was because Mr. Pei was too busy with work and probably hadn't noticed this small platform yet.
If Mr. Pei sees it, in accordance with the spirit of the Qiutu Plan, shouldn't he directly help and invest a large amount of money?
We'll have to help sooner or later anyway, so it doesn't matter if we go ahead with the desperate plan.
Thinking of this, Qiu Hong immediately called Xi Hao.
"Package all the completed games of the Jiutu Project and send them all to Chaolu Game Platform!"
"Such a good platform cannot be allowed to collapse."
"Publish all our games. After all, Qitu Project has accumulated a group of players who are more rational and supportive of domestic independent games. It will definitely improve the ecology of the entire platform!"
"It may not have a very obvious effect, but it can be considered a small effort!"
