Inebriation-seeking Blue Shirt

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!"

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

"Make players... progressively unluckier??" 


Lilith felt shocked, clearly, it was a practice she had never considered before.


At present, the gacha system in pay-to-win games could basically be described by "Conservation of Luck."


While it might not seem so on an individual level, with some players always being lucky and others always unlucky, on the whole, it indeed conserves luck.


Some unlucky people struggle because there are Whales who live in peace.


From a game developer's perspective, aside from a very small number of utterly shameless developers who might choose to secretly alter data and act unethically, most game developers would not tamper with the gacha probabilities.


The positioning of pay-to-win game developers is, strictly speaking, consistent with casinos.


Casinos earn money through their commission; therefore, regardless of whether the gamblers win or lose, the casino will never lose.
