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!"

Lilith was somewhat puzzled, "Why? After all, this game comes with a group of players. If we overhaul it drastically and cause these players to have a lot of negative feelings, wouldn't that be quite cost-effective?"

Gu Fan shook his head slightly, "President Li, you should think of it this way.

"This first game, compared to the next two, inherently has a premium price.

"'Mission 3' has game mechanics and gameplay quite similar to 'Free Roaming Adventure', not as good as 'Demon World Conflict'. Yet, its price is thirty to forty million higher than the other two games. Why? Of course, it's because its IP itself holds a certain value, and there are some players, the game could still net about a million a month.

"But if you think about it carefully, you'll find that these things are actually not worth the premium of thirty to forty million.
