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 117: The Second Round Ends at the Speed of Light (Part 2)

[Ding Qiang's negative emotions +15!]

[Ding Qiang's negative emotions +22!]

[Ding Qiang's negative emotions +9!]

Watching the constant stream of negative emotions appearing in her view, Lilith's face once again revealed a smug smile.

Indeed, yet another stroke of genius had worked wonders!

"The game does not immediately end upon the death of the City Lord"; this feature was clearly Lilith's doing as well.

And the reason? Well, it's quite simple—obviously, it allowed for the harvesting of even more negative emotions!

Take the current situation, for instance, where the City Lord had died in battle, but the game went on. The Crusaders were still dragging the City Lord's corpse to the stake for a public barbecue, with Xia Mi reading scriptures and whipping the body, while the player could only watch helplessly. Didn't this additional negative emotion equate to sheer profit?
