Recently, WeChat launched the WeChat Mini Games Creativity Incentives Program to encourage innovation on the platform, including recognizing highly creative games with a "Creativity-Certified" label, better revenue distribution plans, and initial user traffic.
Any Mini Games with highly creative gameplay, art, music, or story can apply to join the program. Mini Games with Creativity-Certified labels can receive up to 20% higher revenue share compared to other Mini Games.
Meanwhile, they will be provided with initial user traffic from the platform to help make their launch successful.
Additionally, the WeChat Mini Games platform has focused on features protecting originality and game creator interests, including copyright infringement reporting mechanisms and exclusive management on original copyright. This environment is conducive to innovation, helping developers realize their creative ambitions and see them grow quickly in the larger WeChat ecosystem.

It is obvious that in the future more and more Mini Games will prioritize creative content and gameplay in order to attract and retain users.
