1234 For The Sake Of His Reputation

Pei Qian quickly clicked on it and realized that Dawn Games platform had specially done an interview for these people!

There were a total of 37 well-known game reviewers. Among them were UP Masters like Teacher Qiao, who were more famous standalone game live-streamers on the internet, and some game media personnel who were in charge of ratings, analysis, and fame.

He could not say that he had captured all the people who were good at criticizing in online games, but he had indeed pulled a group of very famous people over!

In this interview, the avatars of the 37 game reviewers were arranged in order. A small portion of them were more famous and used larger avatars. The others' avatars were smaller and varied.

He clicked on the icon, and the reviewer's script appeared.

Pei Qian's first reaction when he saw this page was confusion.

The relationship between Dawn Games platform and Tengda should still be kept a secret, right?

If their relationship was exposed, it was understandable that these people came to support them out of love for Tengda.

However, wasn't the dawn games platform just an ordinary small platform on the internet now? It might be popular but it was far from being ranked!

Do you have to be so supportive?

Dawn Games platform might have never showed mercy when offering money but these people should not be that short of money, right?

Of course, there would never be too much money. However, the key was to be a critic on the games platform. That would distract and affect your job.

Take Teacher Qiao for example. Since he had established a cooperative relationship with Dawn Games platform, he definitely could not just create a product reviewer's account and not work there. He had to write more game reviews and recommend them to the game row.

There was a minimum workload that had to be completed.

These tasks would definitely distract him from live-streaming and making videos, and take up some time.

On the other hand, the popularity of the video and the sponsored partnerships were Teacher Qiao's main source of income. Wouldn't that be equivalent to the income of his job being affected and decreased?

Thus, Pei Qian was a little puzzled. Why were they interfering?

Critics might be attractive to other gamers, but they should not be that rare to you, right?

Or could it be that these people were determined to use the recommendation spots to make money?

Hmm… that was too unlikely.

That was because these people had a certain reputation in the gaming circle. They were not random people who cared about their reputation.

If they were to mess around on Dawn Games platform, it might cause a large number of people to leave their fans and even affect their own jobs.

No matter how he looked at it, this was a thankless choice. What were they after?

Pei Qian clicked on the interview manuscript of a few people with doubts.

"I'm very honored to be invited to be a critic on the Dawn Games platform!"

"Dawn Games platform is a very special platform. It gives all its power to players. This magnanimity is admirable! However, 'a man cannot be without a head while a bird cannot fly without wings' after all. Players would still do something rather blindly without guidance. I feel honored to be able to participate in the evaluation family this time. I will definitely not let down my mission!"

"Players are already working hard to reverse the atmosphere of the platform and maintain the game's recommendation rate to its appropriate level; various game companies, especially the independent games of the Destitution Plan, have entered and provided fresh blood to the morning market. Now, since they have used us as game evaluators, we naturally cannot shirk our responsibilities!"

"Being a critic is a brand new identity to me. It's also a brand new challenge. However, I'm confident that I can definitely complete this task well!"

He randomly selected a few people's interview manuscript and skimmed through a few paragraphs. Basically, they were expressing similar meanings.

Pei Qian was utterly confused.

Were these people… so responsible?

However, wasn't this level of responsibility a little too much?

This is just a small platform! It's not an official platform. Do you have to be so serious?

Pei Qian was very confused. He felt that these people's motives did not seem sufficient even though they sounded legitimate.

Something was missing.

He refused to give up. He went online to search for discussions about this matter and finally found an analysis from a netizen.

"This move by Dawn Games platform is very smart!"

"I was very worried when I first heard about the critic system."

"That's because this system looks very good, but it's a little too trusting of human nature. Especially behind these recommendation spots, there are huge interests hidden. Pessimists are easily tempted!"

"If we're not careful and the start of the game collapses, it would be difficult to reverse the situation!"

At that point, Pei Qian could not help but nod.

That's right, that's what I thought!

According to his original plan, the critics would be automatically screened according to the data. In the beginning, it would take a lot of time to play games on the morning disc games platform and achievements.

Those particularly famous and outstanding game reviewers had their own serious work and familiar gaming platforms. They would probably not come to the exposed gaming platforms in the beginning.

That way, the judges would definitely be more hardworking and idle ordinary players.

It was not easy for these people to control themselves after obtaining the power of recommendation.

If game manufacturers approached them in private and promised to buy a vote, pushing their own games to the recommendation spots, the chances of these people falling would be very high.

First of all, as long as the quality of this game was passable, no one would be able to see much of a problem with one vote or two votes. Secondly, even if it was exposed, what if he did not want his identity as a judge? In any case, he would have earned money.

However, if everyone thought that way, the game launched by Dawn Games platform would definitely be tragic.

Once this atmosphere was formed and became normal, the follow-up critics would probably be affected and gradually play the role of bad money expelling good money.

At that time, it would be even more difficult to completely cleanse this atmosphere.

This player was obviously worried about this at first.

However, it seemed like he was no longer worried about his tone?

Pei Qian quickly continued reading.

"However, I have to say that Dawn Games platform is perfect in this matter!"

"When the Dawn Games platform was first established, it insisted on giving players the right to take down the game, causing many players to play tricks. The platform nearly collapsed. Fortunately, there is a world for good. The situation gradually stabilized with more conscientious players entering. Coupled with the entry of many premium games, the situation gradually improved."

"However, this is not the core of the problem."

"The most important thing is that Dawn Games platform established its own reputation through its initial risky behavior. Gamers are willing to believe that it is indeed a platform that keeps its word. This behavior might seem very stupid but it is filled with the romantic color of idealism."

"It might still be a small platform but its every move is already being watched by a large number of players!"

"Therefore, for game evaluators, they would no longer be a hardworking and unrewarding volunteer if they were invited to be critics at Dawn Games platform."

"On one hand, they were inspired by this spirit and contributed their own strength. On the other hand, they also hoped to use this opportunity to show their own character and establish a fair and objective image for themselves!"

"The value of such an image is far more than money to them."

Pei Qi an: "…"

He understood now.

At first, Pei Qian was puzzled. Why were these reputable people here if the critics were not paid?

Ordinary people would be able to think of ways to earn some money if they became critics. However, it was impossible for these reputable people to do such a thing. The loss outweighed the gain.

Now, he understood. It was for the sake of their reputation!

Obviously, this was a chain reaction caused by the series of events that happened before the Dawn Games platform.

He continued reading.

"This is also a brilliant move by Dawn Games platform!"

"At first, the problem that I was worried about was that the first batch of reviewers were tempted by benefits and started to operate behind the scenes. They fundamentally destroyed the credibility of the entire platform's recommendation mechanism."

"It's easy to destroy many things, and it's even harder to recover."

"However, the problem was solved perfectly by inviting these 37 critics to the Dawn Games platform!"

"Some people might be confused. 37 isn't a lot of people. They cannot take up the majority of the critics slot. If others work together to mess up the recommendation spots, these 37 people should be helpless, right?"

"It would be a huge mistake if you think that way!"

"First of all, these 37 people are the leaders of the players' opinions. Their right to speak is far greater than the ordinary evaluators selected by the platform. Secondly, even though the 37 people are not a majority, they have the same goal and are very united. The ordinary evaluators selected by the platform would not be very organized."

"Therefore, in the beginning, these 37 people are actually enough to influence the direction of the entire platform. Any ordinary judge would have to weigh whether they would be caught and exposed by these 37 people if they wanted to cause trouble."

"As time goes by, the value of a judge's account will become higher and higher. What's more, it will become more and more difficult to obtain it. This is truly one in a million. He was disqualified just for one recommendation. That's not worth it."

"Even if some games companies want to think of their own ways to create critics accounts, the cost would be much higher than the benefits. It would not be worth it."

"Of course, under-the-table operations where ordinary players could not tell the difference might be unavoidable. It would indeed not be discovered if we don't collect a little money and vote for some players of good quality."

"However, this situation would not be too dangerous: If a game itself is worth being recommended, then bribing the reviewers would be a little superfluous. It would be easy to be exposed. On the other hand, if a game is not worth being recommended, bribing the critics would cause the critics to suffer together. The platform would quickly correct its mistake."

"Therefore, Dawn Games platform's method is very appropriate to solve this hidden danger!"

"Now, there is a group of upright gamers on Dawn Games platform, a group of good quality independent games, and a group of critics who dare to take responsibility."

"Before this, I thought that this platform was too idealistic and would probably not take long."

"However, from the looks of it now, it is not as simple as I imagined."

"In fact, Dawn Games' platform has already obtained the art of slaying dragons. Next, they only have to wait for the appearance of the true dragon!"
