Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1202: The Real Meaning Of ‘Dawn’

It was the same for the subsequent bugs.

The original intention of Dawn Games platform was to prove to all players that there were few bugs on the platform so that everyone could play it without worry.

If they found bugs, they would give a reward of at least a thousand yuan or a hundred thousand yuan. That was comparable to the classic ‘a thousand taels of gold’ in the gaming circle.

However, what did the gamers do?

The gamers on the platform did not think that the platform was very conscientious after they could not find any bugs no matter how hard they tried. They also did not realize how much effort the platform had put in to eliminate these bugs with the developers. They only felt that it must be the problem with the platform that they could not get the prize money!

Thus, many gamers spread rumors online that the official platform was not fulfilling their promises by falsifying them. They incited emotions and created chaos.

When the official platform exposed the problem in their video and invited them to the live-stream to replay the bug, these people would play dead one by one.

The best display of this was the off-stage mechanism on the gaming platform.

According to the platform’s regulations, as long as the game was not recommended for more than 55% of the time, it would be forced to be taken off the shelves. Half of the income would be returned to players and the other half would be given to game developers.

Even if the trial period was over, the game would still be forced off the shelves if it caused public anger and caused the do not recommend to exceed 65%.

This was obviously a good rule. It was equivalent to handing the final judgment of the developer to players. Players could decide the fate of the game on the platform themselves.

Such a phenomenon could often be seen on other gaming platforms: a certain gameplay was lousy, there were many bugs, and maliciously cheated players of their paywalls. However, no matter how low the players scored or how much they recommended it, this game continued to earn money steadily.

In any case, as long as a game with a low rating could get a recommendation spot and be exposed on the rankings, there would always be new players attracted by the promotional pictures and promotional videos.

To the platform, these games would still give money to the platform. Why take them off the shelves?

Some small platforms would even take the initiative to collect money to help these games change their ratings and ratings. They were very happy.

However, such games would probably be killed by angry gamers during the probation period on the Dawn Games platform. There would be no chance to continue cheating new gamers.

In fact, some old games that had been released for a long time would also do some tricks from time to time. For example, they would suddenly raise the price of the game or throw away their pride in the subsequent versions of the game to cheat people of their money.

On other platforms, gamers were helpless. They could only curse a few times. Even if they crazily gave only one star, these games would not lose much.

However, if old games wanted to take advantage of their seniority and wanted to deal with such activities at the end of their lives on Dawn Games platform, they had to weigh the consequences carefully. They had to think if they would be killed on the spot by angry gamers before they could raise their sickles.

Obviously, Dawn Games’ platform had given up the rights of the platform and the huge profits that could have been obtained. It had given these rights to players without reservation.

If players could treat this right well, they could use their own efforts to create a platform that was truly made by players, a platform that was not cut up by game merchants.

However, what did the gamers do?

After realizing that they had the right to do so, they had maliciously refunded the game, just to obtain a 50% discount.

They had given up on the long-term benefits for the sake of the small benefits in front of them.

Such behavior would not only remove good games from the shelves and prevent future players from obtaining these games, but it would also lead to more serious consequences.

The environment of the entire platform was ruined because of this. It could not develop better. The rights were abused, so these precious rights could no longer be used. Instead, they became useless.

What was most disappointing was that this behavior was only the behavior of individual players in the beginning. However, most players were gradually incited. This trend became popular and finally pushed many games to the edge of being taken off the shelves.

…

After analyzing these contents, the topic of the video changed and entered the summary stage.

“There are many ways for Dawn Games platform to earn money easily, but it chose the most difficult one: working with game developers and players for a win-win-win situation.”

“Limit the game developers and strictly limit the number of bugs in the game.”

“Give up the right to players. Players can directly judge and attack the unscrupulous developers’ behavior. Let them suffer losses as a warning.”

“Even when the game was taken off the shelves for refunds, Dawn Games platform did not take a single cent. Half of it was given to the developer and the other half to the players.”

“If this goal could be achieved, the developers on the platform would not dare to fool the players anymore. Under the rational judgment of most players, those outstanding games would survive. The rubbish games would be eliminated. The environment of the entire platform would become better. There would be more and more players, and more games.”

“By giving up a portion of the benefits, Dawn Games platform achieved a win-win-win situation.”

“However, this is ultimately just a beautiful wish.”

“Therefore, this is actually a deep question for players: You know what is right, but in the face of the temptation of benefits, can you persevere and do the right thing?”

“What a pity. From the looks of the current results, most players on the platform have the same answer: ‘No’.

“The name ‘Dawn Games platform’ also means that the creator of the platform had foreseen the fate of the platform from the beginning.”

“Where the days are tough.”

“The morning water is clear and pure, nurturing the flowers, but it will be dried by the sun and blown by the wind. It will dissipate in the air and be buried in the dust. Life is short.”

“Obviously, this platform is the same in the eyes of the creators.”

“It is clear and pure, not contaminated by dust, and not associated with any game merchants or channels. It remains pure throughout.”

“It nurtures all games, just like the morning mist nurturing the flowers, so that every passerby can appreciate the beauty of the flowers and smell the fragrance of the flowers.”

“However, it will not be able to exist for a long time. It will always disappear without a trace because of the influence of the outside world.”

“Just as the beginning said: It is still a luxury to have a portion of humans maintain their rationality for a long time.”

“Perhaps after this bug finding event, all the games on Dawn Games platform would be taken off the shelves by gamers very quickly. The platform would finally stop operations because it could not make ends meet and disappear silently.”

“However, please remember that such a gaming platform once sacrificed a lot and made such an attempt.”

“You were the ones who did not grasp the opportunity.”

…

The video ended there. There were no requests for likes, shares or subscribe. There was also no goodbye to the audience or the regular ending of the next episode.

The video that stopped abruptly made people feel empty in their hearts.

This added a hint of mystery to the author of the video, ‘Young Master Tian’.

From this video, it was obvious that Young Master Tian was not a professional UP Master. That was because he did not seem to be trying to get close to the audience at all. He did not even mention his name in the entire video. He did not even use his voice.

It was as if he could not wait to tell them everything without any other requests.

However, Mr. Tian’s synopsis and video editing skills were very outstanding. He was even better than most content creators on Aili Island. In terms of video editing, even Teacher Qiao could not compare.

Yan Qi was speechless after watching the video.

This video was earth-shattering!

His confusion, doubts, complaints, and other complicated emotions from before had all dissipated.

Before this, he had always felt that it was really heart-wrenching for Dawn Games platform to play so many bad moves.

However, after watching this video, he realized that the so-called ‘bad moves’ of the Dawn Games platform were all intentional!

Even this ordinary-looking name had a deeper meaning. It predicted the fate of this platform from the beginning.

Before this, Yan Qi had always felt that the boss behind this platform must be an outsider who did not understand games to be able to make so many ridiculous decisions.

However, from the looks of it now, this boss knew everything.

He knew what the outcome would be if he did this, but he still did it without any regrets. This was obviously a resolution of nine deaths and no regrets!

Yan Qi even subconsciously reflected on his own thoughts.

Before this, he had always felt that Dawn Games platform was an amateur. At the end of the day, he felt that gamers were not worth trusting.

There were too many examples to prove that there was a bad side to human nature.

Humans might be rational and intelligent creatures, but they were sometimes very blind and short-sighted.

There were many restrictions in reality. These aspects might not be so obvious, but in the online world, especially in the game world, because everything was virtual, the kindness and evil of human nature would be magnified.

Thus, game designers would naturally consider the worst case scenario while competing with gamers.

When designing a rule, he had to first think about how gamers would take advantage of the loopholes and bet on it in advance.

When designing a plot, he had to first think about how gamers would interpret the worst case scenario and think about how to avoid this situation in advance.

As time went by, it was very difficult for game designers to trust players anymore. Instead, they were inclined to take charge of all the content and decide everything for players like a big boss.

However, was this really the right thing to do?

What fun would it be if players could only play the marionette within the rules drawn by the designer?

On the other hand, Dawn Games platform had chosen to trust players.

They had believed that gamers would be able to distinguish the immediate benefits and long-term benefits. They believed in gamers’ rationality and wisdom. They believed that most gamers on the platform would give fair and just reviews.

Based on the current situation, Dawn Games platform had paid an extremely heavy price for this ‘trust’. However, just as the video had said, the morning sun nurtured the flowers. Even if the sun quickly dried them and the wind blew them away, this behavior was still meaningful.

The creator of Dawn Games platform had long predicted this. To him, this might be the best situation.

The gamers should be the ones regretting. The opportunity was originally in their hands, but they did not grasp it.
