As a Mage, I Only Want to Pursue Truth

A mage accidentally drifts to Blue Star. The intelligent life on Blue Star cannot influence reality by manipulating dark matter, thus the mage loses their casting ability.

In order to recover...

Chapter 238 The Spark

Now that game licenses are required, anything related to this is impossible to handle lightly.

A certain evening news program even did a special report on the rampant problems with WeChat mini-games.

One of the experts said in his speech:

"We can see that the phenomenon of game content not matching the description is particularly obvious in the current WeChat mini-game market."

Some game developers lure players into their games by placing fake ads on various apps, but the actual games have nothing to do with the advertisements.

In addition, there are more than 4,000 WeChat mini games, many of which are poorly made.

The low barrier to entry for mini-games has led to a lot of superficiality, with issues such as reskinning and copyright infringement becoming rampant.

I believe that using game licenses can effectively prevent the aforementioned chaos from occurring.

Are there any problems as mentioned by the experts? Obviously, there are.

These phenomena are indeed very common.

However, the problem lies in the game's poor quality and the misleading advertising, which naturally leads some players to vote with their feet.

The WeChat mini-games that have survived all have a group of fans who support them with real money or their own time.

The masses are happy to see ****.

Clearly, Tencent cannot stop all of this. Even with its strong arguments in the draft for comments, it cannot prevent the change that WeChat mini games need to be licensed.

Although the above guarantees that the requirements for WeChat mini-games will not be as strict as those for mobile games and PC games.

However, there is no limit to the expansion of power, and even the loosest regulations will bring about huge changes to the ecosystem.

Li Miaomiao was so embarrassed that she felt embarrassed later, because anyone with a little logic could tell who this was aimed at.

"Mr. Ren, I'm really sorry for causing you such a big impact."

With WeChat mini-games generating 20 billion yuan in revenue, Tencent naturally gets a significant share of the pie.

The market for WeChat mini-games has shrunk drastically, which is a serious blow to Tencent's interests.

Ren Yu reassured him, "President Li, you're too kind."

"Actually, it's nothing. 'I Really Didn't Lie' was just a trigger. What was bound to happen would happen sooner or later."

"The debate about whether WeChat mini-programs should have game licenses started as early as 2019, when G-bits proposed that WeChat mini-games should also have licenses."

G-bits Network Technology is a leading mobile game company in China and a top-performing game company listed on the A-share market. Tencent and NetEase are not listed on the A-share market, nor are miHoYo, Lilith Games, and Hypergryph.

G-bits Network Technology has consistently held the top spot in the A-share gaming sector.

As major mobile game developers, they naturally don't want WeChat mini-games to compete with them for users' time.

Ren Yu continued, "Previously, Tencent had been blocking these requests or voices."

"This time it's just that all the things that happened before have piled up and couldn't be stopped anymore."

Li Miaomiao apologized again, saying, "To put it bluntly, the mini-game that we troubled your company to develop based on the Truth System was the direct trigger."

"I've still caused you quite a bit of trouble."

Ren Yu reassured them again, "It really has little to do with you; it just hastened the arrival of this day."

"But the Sword of Damocles hangs over there, and it will fall sooner or later."

"Moreover, the truth system is very meaningful. The stronger the counterattack, the more meaningful the truth system you have created is."

"Whether it's addressing the chaos in public opinion or shackles on the power of grassroots public officials, it's all very meaningful."

"As for Tencent's losses, they are completely insignificant."

A good environment benefits all organisms in the ecosystem. Top predators like Tencent especially need a good environment.

Ren Yu's perspective is at the very top level; he can clearly judge what things are of long-term benefit to Tencent.

The crackdown on WeChat mini-games only affects short-term interests, while the ecosystem optimization resulting from the truth system is a long-term benefit for Tencent.

Li Miaomiao expected the other party to downplay the matter, after all, the two sides were currently good partners.

But she didn't expect the other party to also have such a high opinion of the Truth System.

"We are just the technology provider; we have no control over how it will be implemented."

Ren Yu laughed and said, "Aren't you interfering now?"

"The technology provider can do a lot of things too. It's not like we're transferring the technology to them; it's just technology licensing."

"And what you need to do is very simple: just supervise whether the truth system is being misused, such as whether the actual judgment score and the announced score are consistent."

"Report it as soon as you see this phenomenon. The higher-ups certainly don't want a perfectly good system to be messed up by people below."

"Then you issue an announcement, and everyone above and below is satisfied, and you can pretend you didn't hear the buzzing of some flies in between."

Li Miaomiao thought to herself that the other party was a rare and wonderful person. "Thank you for your guidance, President Ren. I will discuss a solution with the team later."

Ren Yu: "I was just saying it offhand; you guys definitely know more about the specifics than I do."

Since they were already chatting, Li Miaomiao decided to bring up another matter at the same time:

"Mr. Ren, there is another matter I need to discuss with you regarding brain-computer interface technology. The team led by Chairman Zheng has achieved a new technological breakthrough."

"The new generation of brain-computer interface technology can recognize most human limb movements. When used with gloves, it can basically simulate most movements with just the hands and brain."

"Including a series of movements that were previously unrecognizable, such as jumping, squatting, falling, and climbing."

Ren Yu was both excited and shocked on the other end of the phone.
