Chapter 141: The Declining Magazine

The miracle release is booming, and the most worried person is FAMICOM communication.

And as if Li Fangcheng's star rating system had no effect, FAMICOM Communication's CROSS REVIE column group, under the leadership of Hamamura Koichi, proposed the concept of a game palace.

The mode is still the same as in history, with four editors scoring a game, with a maximum score of 10 points each, a total maximum score of 40 points, and a total score of more than 30 points to be selected for the game palace.

I don't know if I want to fight against Miracle Entertainment in the Miracle Publishing Magazine Department or what.

In short, as soon as it was launched, it pushed the work of Dragon Quest 3 to the ranks of full marks.

The four editors also slammed Miracle Entertainment's score for being untrue, such a good work should be a five-star perfect score even according to Miracle Entertainment's score.

Not to mention, such a confrontational approach was adopted at the beginning of the launch, which really attracted a lot of attention.

And the four editors are all well-known editors in the industry, and they were invited to come and score them.

You know, editors, many times, are also similar to writers, and naturally there are some exclusive fans.

However, these fans like the articles published by this editor, so they support this editor.

So after driving some people, plus the magazine spent a lot of money on publicity.

Many people who have bought FAMICOM communication in the past look at it, wow, four people who claim to be experts, that must be worth looking forward to.

So in such a situation, to say that the five-star rating system of Miracle Entertainment is not reasonable at all, it is nothing more than grandstanding.

No one has ever used this method for grading before.

And the 10-point rating system, there is a one called IGN in the United States that also has a good reputation, even if other scores in the Japanese industry, such as "Family Computer Magazine", are also such a rating system, and I have never heard of the practice of a five-star rating system.

Although Koichi Hamamura was originally semi-plagiarized, he used the rating system of "Family Computer Magazine" to make this concept of the game palace.

But after those editors said it, he could only smile wryly, didn't the four editors subtext that FAMICOM Communications was borrowing from the scoring system of "Family Computer Magazine"?

You must know that "Family Computer Magazine" is an old magazine! And this rating system was made by someone one step earlier!

Although the current sales are not very high, they are not worse than FAMICOM!

After the release of the content of this issue, the sales of FAMICOM Communications, even under the power of Marvel Entertainment's sudden rise in the game Dragon Quest 3, did not decrease but increased.

But the good times didn't last long.

With the second issue of Miracle Entertainment coming out, the description of the scoring system is more detailed, telling the reader in detail what are the benefits of the dynamic five-dimensional evaluation system, and why it will be reproduced to five-star according to the five-dimensional explanation.

Later, he explained the benefits of "dynamic five-star evaluation", which is far more than static evaluation, after all, static evaluation is a subjective scoring behavior by the enterprise, and such behavior is not thinking from the perspective of players.

Such remarks are followed by the fact that it is the latest dynamic five-star review of Dragon Quest 3, which dropped by 0.1 stars directly from 4.8 stars.

And the 4.7-star data directly slapped FAMICOM Communication in the face!

In comparison, this is undoubtedly even more shocking!

People are the first in the industry, and the advantages of dynamic evaluation have been clarified, isn't it right?

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this statement of Miracle Entertainment is right!

And at this time, Hamamura Hongichi can only sigh silently, the four editors he found in advance are all invited by a lot of good words and a lot of money, and there are even editors from "Weekly Shonen Jump", these people are also fans of Dragon Quest games!

So if you want to get a good score, of course, you have to find people who like this game to rate it.

It's just that what I never expected was that this score was invariably given a full score of 0!

In this way, it is self-defeating! FAMICOM communication, almost no one cares.

After all, in the face of those low-rated evaluations that began to be gradually announced, Hamamura Hongichi, who was originally very satisfied with the plan of the game hall, was undoubtedly questioned.

Why is Dragon Quest 3 a game that has shortcomings, but still gives full marks.

Is this bias in favor of the game?

And it is true that the benefits of dynamic evaluation are stronger than the benefits of static evaluation no matter how you look at it, why doesn't FAMICOM communication do this?

If it's deliberately biased in favor of Dragon Quest 3, then why do it?

As soon as such remarks appeared, it was as if pouring hot oil into the already restless and boiling market.

Directly fried!

How did the game industry in the United States collapse?

An Atari has completely destroyed the entire game industry in the United States!

And now FAMICOM communication actually gave a perfect score to a game with obvious bugs, isn't this a liar?

People were outraged and sent letters of complaint to FAMICOM Communications.

Some people even threatened that if they dared to denigrate the dynamic five-star review again, they would send them the blade next time!

At this moment, FAMICOM communication was instantly dumbfounded!

What else can be said at this time?

And even some extremely angry players have already come to the door, and even have already bought paint, as long as one explanation is not good, help them paint the wall in minutes!

A month later, Li Fangcheng looked at these Japanese news reports at that time, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

After all, FAMICOM communication is also a victim.

It's just that it's not good to do anything else, but I still want to do it against the miracle release, although many people in later generations are unhappy with this trick.

But in reality, not only two laws in every industry can work!

There are not many cases in the world where rivals like Coca-Cola and Pepsi are developing and coexisting together!

Another one is also well-known, namely McDonald's and KFC.

The so-called only two rules are that the same industry in the world can survive to the end, and generally only the first and second place in the entire industry.

The rest of the people are either looking for a way out and striving for transformation, or they are merged, or they are completely eliminated.

In the past month, the sales of the entire FAMICOM communication magazine have plummeted!

From the original sales of hundreds of thousands of copies, the two issues in a month can't even sell 100,000 copies!

It can be said that if there are no accidents, there is no possibility that FAMICOM communication will turn over again in a short period of time.

What is important in this era is trust!

"Okay, Tang Zekaiyan, you came from Japan specifically, don't you just want me to watch these old news?" Li Fangcheng looked at Tang Zekaiyan in front of him with a smile.

"Actually, if I say yes, do you believe it?" Tang Zekaiyan said with a mocking look at Li Fangcheng.

Li Fangcheng laughed for a while, this boss is not a small person, he is almost ten years older than himself, but sometimes he will be funny from time to time.

But it's normal to think about it.

How many people who love games are stereotypical and reticent?

"Okay, if you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go. Li Fangcheng said angrily.

"Ahem, get down to business. Tang Zekaiyan put away the joking expression just now, his expression became serious and serious, and he raised three fingers and said, "Three things, all of them are quite important." ”

"Three things, and I came over to say it, it doesn't seem to be a trivial matter, let's just say it. Li Fangcheng stamped the draft that was being revised and revised.

But when it comes to major matters involving the company, Li Fangcheng will never treat them carelessly.

One of the reasons why many start-ups can't survive and die is because entrepreneurs are blindly arrogant, and after the initial struggle for the company, they get carried away and no longer operate conscientiously.

"First of all, Sega's third party wanted our Marvel Entertainment to do a game review for them, and ...... Nintendo's third party also has such a cooperation application......" Tang Zekaiyan said again and again.

"What? do you think...... Nintendo's third party can't be contacted?" Li Fangcheng asked after a moment of contemplation.

"You know, no matter how I say it, it's also from Sega...... This third party under Nintendo wants to cooperate with us and help them conduct evaluations, which is a bit like helping them make wedding dresses......" Tang Ze Kaiyan said with a little hesitation: "Although I know, if we cooperate, it is not a good thing for us, after all, to be honest, now in the field of home machines, Nintendo is still a dominant company, if you abandon Nintendo's third party, then Nintendo will definitely do its own media."

"I can understand your consideration, but, Kai Yanjun, in the media industry, if our attitude can't occupy fairness and justice as the starting point, then the final outcome will be abandoned by readers, subjective consciousness, always a killer, maybe everyone hasn't felt anything in a short period of time, but after a long time, they will definitely feel biased. Li Fangcheng looked at Tang Ze Kaiyan and nodded thoughtfully.

"So, Nintendo and Sega's third party wants to do a review? Yes, but it's paid, after doing the review, no matter what it takes, our task is done, if they want to publish, then it's no problem, it's a part of the paid service, but if they feel that the score is low and they don't want to publish, then it's not embarrassing, let the money, we won't refund. Li Fangcheng said a plan.

"Pay the money? Then they can do the assessment themselves, and some third parties are not willing to spend money. Tang Zekaiyan shook his head and said helplessly.

"Yes, they can do it themselves, then let them do it themselves, and let them toss the magazine that sells 2.8 million copies a month. Li Fangcheng said with a bit of sarcasm.
