Why the bug I wrote became a core gameplay mechanic?!

This book is also known as: "How Programmers Turn a Crappy Game into a Timeless Classic with a Single BUG" Recently, the president of Nitiandang, Gu Fan, once again fell from grace due to a minor bug in his new game. As a top-notch designer in the industry, all of the games designed by Gu Fan have very distinct characteristics: At first, players felt that these games were monotonous, dull, and purely revolting garbage. However, once players discovered a major bug, the gameplay underwent a drastic transformation, rendering them sleep-deprived and unable to quit! So, players once again launched a major debate over "whether this is actually a bug or a game mechanic." In response to this, Gu Fan clarified in an interview with all seriousness: "Hello everyone, I'm the game designer Gu Fan, but you can also call me by my English name: fan·gu (means rebel). "I want to reiterate firmly that these so-called 'core gameplays' were not part of our company's original design—they are bugs! It's just that we didn't fix them because the players liked them!"

Chapter 264: What to Do About the Version Update?

Just then, Zhou Yang raised his hand and asked tentatively, "President Li, I have a small question."

At that moment, Lilith was still in a good mood and she nodded generously, "Feel free to ask!"

Zhou Yang said, "If we make an MMORPG... how would we handle version updates afterwards?"

The moment he posed this question, everyone was taken aback, then they realized, yes, how would version updates be handled?

This truly hit the nail on the head regarding Nitiandang's Achilles' heel!

All the games Nitiandang had released before, and mind you, every single one of them, had never gone through any subsequent updates!

Forget about version updates, there hadn't even been bug fix patches.

Their policy was one of maintaining the game's original flavor; whatever form the game took upon launch, it remained unchanged thereafter. As for subsequent modifications? That was an absolute impossibility.
