Chapter 10: How is the gaming industry changing?

One o'clock in the morning.

The Infinite Games building is still brightly lit.

On the floor where the game moderation department is located, hundreds of professional game reviewers are still in the game warehouse, evaluating new game content.

As the largest game platform in China, the work of the review department is undoubtedly heavy.

Because one of the rules of the infinite game platform is that all games that want to open a paid function must apply for platform review.

As for the moderation method, it is naturally carried out by the platform's game auditors.

Reviewing whether a game can be used for a fee is just one part of the many tasks that the game moderation department has to offer.

Free games that have already been released and are running, they also need to be reviewed.

For example, if there is content in some games that are not suitable for children, the moderation team will label such games accordingly.

Games with corresponding tags will not be pushed to players under the age of 18 by the platform, and they will not be able to search for such games.

It not only protects the physical and mental health of underage players, but also conforms to social values and creates a healthy gaming environment.

In addition, if the moderator finds that the game content violates national policies and regulations, promotes feudal superstition, insults ethnic religious beliefs and living habits, or has other vulgar content, the review team is also obliged to ban such games.

If the circumstances are serious, the staff of the moderation department will also report the game publisher to the local organization and severely punish the violators.

Therefore, while having the best treatment and the highest authority, the responsibility of the audit department is also very important.

The workload is also the heaviest of all the departments on the Infinity platform.

The department operates 24 hours a day in three shifts, and each of the game moderators is a professionally trained professional with a high level of game comprehension.

……

At this time, in the office of the head of the audit department, the supervisor Fang Chong was staring at the virtual screen and was looking at the daily data report fed back from the background.

Today's release - 124 games

Today, 76 games with paid permissions will be opened

Today's blocked games - 3

New Tour Praise Ranking (New Tour in a Week)

New Player Retention Ranking (New Players in a Week)

New Game Potential List (Player Download Rate vs. Online Rate)

……

After taking a sip of coffee to refresh himself, Fang Chong paused for a moment and continued to read.

In the report, a game caught Fang Chong's attention.

Although the data of this game is ordinary, it is not produced by a well-known game studio, and intuitively there are no bright spots.

But what Fang Chong noticed was.

The game has an uninstall rate of 0 and is almost 100% positive.

Such abnormal data aroused Fang Chong's curiosity.

So he clicked on the game's details page and flipped through the player ratings.

While flipping through it, Fang Chong found that there were actually many players complaining about the problems of this game.

In particular, a few players who gave bad reviews frantically complained about the unreasonable phenomenon in the game in the rating area.

What makes Fang Chong puzzled is that since there are bad reviews and some players are dissatisfied with the content of the game, why does the uninstall rate of this game be 0?

This is very unscientific.

So, Fang Chong used the platform's permissions to click on the personal information pages of several players who gave bad reviews, trying to find the answer.

Negative player: Li Zhi ("All Gods" game duration is 150 hours, the game is online)

Negative reviewer: Hu Li ("All Gods" game duration 156 hours, game online)

Negative reviewer: Xu Miyi ("All Gods" game duration 142 hours, the game is online)

……

After flipping through the information pages of the players with bad reviews, Fang Chong looked confused.

Despite the negative reviews, these players are still playing the game.

I glanced back at the mouthful of the bad reviewers, then at their game time, and finally at the game shelf time.

Fang Chong: ???

It's only been a few days since the game hit the shelves, and you've had more than 140 hours of gameplay.

If you don't think the game is fun, why are you still so liver?

What's more, it's already past 1 a.m....... If you don't sleep, you have to play a game that you have given a bad review, what kind of mentality?

The abnormal situation made Fang Chong realize one thing, in fact, the real praise rate of this game should be 100%.

This would explain why there are bad reviews, but the game uninstall rate is 0.

Such strange game data, Fang Chong has been in the industry for so many years, and it is the first time he has seen it.

No matter how good a game is, it is impossible to have such a high player retention rate, and there will generally be players who don't like the game content to uninstall the game.

Guaranteeing a retention rate of 80% is already a very good result.

Therefore, the bizarre data of the game "All Gods" aroused Fang Chong's curiosity.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Chong walked towards the virtual game warehouse in the office, ready to experience the game content and see how the game content was.

……

A few hours later, the game warehouse opened.

Fang Chong, who walked out of the game warehouse, came to the desk, lit a cigarette and sat down.

After taking a deep breath, he opened his mouth and spat out a circle of white mist, his eyes unable to hide his shock.

100% realism in the game!

After entering the game with curiosity, Fang Chong realized how incredible this game was.

If, before entering this game, someone told him that there would be a 100% realism game coming out in the near future, he would definitely scoff at it.

As a veteran of the game industry, he clearly knows that games with 100% realism do not belong to this era.

Even if there is, the process of research and development cannot be quiet.

After all, the flow of game R&D talents in the game market is all in their hands.

Because newcomers who have obtained the professional qualification certificate for game development will basically register their personal information on the infinite game platform.

Therefore, major game companies poach each other, and they can grasp real-time information about the flow of game development talents.

Through the talent flow information, the platform can not only analyze the direction of the company's new game development, but even deduce what type of game the game company intends to make.

So suddenly a game with 100% realism appeared, but there was no feedback from the game market, which was impossible in Fang Chong's opinion.

However, the facts were in front of him, and he couldn't help but believe it.

However, Fang Chong, who has just entered the game, believes that the content of 100% realism is only a very small part of the game scene, and it cannot be the whole thing.

So Fang Chong spent the next few hours exploring the content of the game, trying to find the truth in his opinion.

But at the end of several hours of exploration, Fang Chong, who had only explored less than 1% of the map content of Dragon Scale Island, found that he was wrong, and he was ridiculously wrong.

Because All Gods is really a 100% realistic game.

He was amazed by the variety of details displayed in the game.

For example, when the wind blows the leaves, the leaves naturally shake, the footprints left when walking through the muddy ground, and the traces left by other players in the game......

He even discovered that there was a complete food chain in the game.

Insects, birds, beasts, and more......

The more he looked deeper, the more shocked Fang Chong became.

One of the most incredible things for him was that when he clicked on the zoom function on the map of Dragon Scale Island, he could see that Dragon Scale Island was just a small corner on the north side of the map.

If the real scene in the game is really as large as the map shows...... Fang Chong couldn't imagine it anymore.

Because such a game can be called a second world.

A world far bigger than the earth, more mysterious, full of wonder and fun.

After smoking several cigarettes in a row, Fang Chong's hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

As a gamer in the gaming industry, he was also a gamer, and he also wanted a game that was 100% realistic.

But after really getting in touch with this industry and understanding this industry, Fang Chong knew that his dream would not be realized in his lifetime after all.

It's a dream come true.

Surprise, fear, excitement, fear...... All kinds of emotions were intertwined in Fang Chong's heart.

He knows that the game industry is about to change!
