"It doesn't matter. Even without our traffic support, Riot Games is growing rapidly.
Various online forums are filled with information about the Riot Electronics community.
What we need to do is to show sincerity and turn around Yahoo's brand image, rather than being stuck on temporary gains and losses.
At least in the short term, Yahoo's gaming sector will lose the possibility of competing with the Riot Games community.
That being the case, let’s give Riot Games a boost and make them the number one electronic community in gaming. "
Jerry Yang's philosophy is that the Internet market is very broad. Due to plagiarism, the Yahoo gaming community has no chance even with Yahoo's traffic support.
So it is better to help Riot Games, which is already in the leading position, and let them win in this segment war.
For Yahoo, what they can gain is users' recognition of their sincere apology and reverse Yahoo's image in the minds of users.
Subsequently, Yahoo acquired CEOcity for US$4.58 billion and broadcast for US$5.7 billion. These two consecutive large transactions allowed Yahoo to completely escape from this negative incident.
For Zhou Xin and Riot Games, they received a rare traffic bonus.
Yahoo's homepage attracts traffic to the Riot Electronics community, just like WeChat's early Jiugongge opened to a certain second-tier Internet brand.
This is indeed a leap.
"We can launch a game rating system." Suzy Dink realized that this was an opportunity, and the rating system they had been preparing for a long time could be launched.
“At the same time, the collection display interface will also be launched simultaneously.”
After the public opinion war with the Yahoo gaming community, some game manufacturers have successively released their previously released games through Riot Games.
Because through traditional game distribution channels, the potential of these games has been fully tapped.
Unless you wait until the Christmas Black Friday price reduction, there may still be some market.
Just like a movie that has reached the end of its box office, it will start to bargain with video websites. The same reason is true for making another fortune by being listed on video websites.
Moreover, Riot Games’ commission is very low, with a fixed commission ratio of 30%, which is much more conscientious than traditional distribution channels.
Not to mention that with the help of the public opinion war with Yahoo, Riot Games has users all over the world.
This is difficult for traditional game publishers to do.
As a senior user in the Riot Games community, Rex has become a well-known user in the gaming community after he made the main forum a little popular by carrying Yahoo's plagiarism.
After returning home that day, he opened the Riot Games community. The most popular post on the main forum was news about the community revision.
"Revised? What revision?" With such doubts, Rex opened the popular post.
“The Riot Electronics Community has been revamped!
Games purchased by users through Riot will be reflected on their personal homepage.
At the same time, users can rate purchased games from 1 to 5, and the real-time average score of the game will be displayed on the home page. "
"I have to give Angry Birds a five."
"If Angry Birds 2 comes out this year, I will give it five points. If it doesn't come out this year, I can only give it four points because there are too few levels."
Angry Birds has 100 levels, which players didn’t think was too few before. With the Christmas-themed DLC, there are a total of 150 levels.
But after the game community emerged, a large number of players taught you how to aim to pass those difficult levels.
The player base is here. With the strategy, you can get a three-star rating and pass the game after playing several times.
There are cheats that make level 150 unplayable.
“I think this feature is very helpful for players. In the past, players could only judge whether the game was suitable for them based on word of mouth before buying it.
After having the ratings, only players who have purchased the game can rate it, and the final rating will be more true, objective and accurate. "
“Rist games still have more gameplay.”
“Previously, scoring was more in the financial and education fields. The financial field mainly scored your credit level and gave credit scores based on certain user data.
As for the education field, students rate the teacher's classroom content.
This is the first time Riot Games has applied its rating system to the Internet. Users gain more power. "
“This is important not only for gamers, but also for game makers.
Previously, the power to evaluate the quality of their games was in the hands of magazines and media, and the opinions of the majority of players could not be truly adopted.
Now the players' opinions will be aggregated into a real score. Do you believe the scores given by all users who have purchased it, or the opinion given by an editor of the magazine?
I have a feeling that gaming magazines are going to die. "
“For game publishers, the better the game, the more they will have the urge to publish it through Riot Games.
Getting a high enough rating is a great way for them to promote themselves.
Riot Rating 5.0, the final score given by more than a thousand players. Is there anything more attractive than this to other users who have not purchased the game? "
Riot Games originated in Silicon Valley, and a large number of its users are from Silicon Valley and have their own unique and keen thinking about products.
The quality of forums now is much higher than the quality of forums after the Internet pandemic.
Many users in the Riot Games community who are engaged in the Internet industry quickly realized that the rating system can be used not only in games, but also in other fields.
Such as books and movies.
As a pure technical otaku, Rex doesn't have that many ideas.
His focus is more on rating Angry Birds and then looking at the scores for games released by Riot Games.
Angry Birds 4.7 points.
The score was about what he expected, and Rex even thought it was a bit high.
Fallout 4.8 points.
Advent 3.5…
Then combined with the content in these game sections, Rex found that he could make an objective and specific judgment on the quality of specific games.
"It's absolutely fantastic and will be the best reference when deciding whether to buy a game in the future."
After this revision, the sales of good games released through Riot Games have once again reached a higher level.
Game publishers can see real-time sales through their exclusive pages.
They saw a significant increase in sales data on this day, combined with what they saw and heard in the Riot Games community, game publishers realized that Riot had the ability and willingness to disrupt the entire industry.
“Looking at the future of video games from the revamp of Riot Community”
A video game magazine with a long history devoted a supplement to the matter the next day.
It praises the changes made by the Riot community, and does not show any dissatisfaction after the right to speak is taken away by ordinary players.
