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?!

"Ah, I must say Li Huanzhen's fate is truly hard.


"Initially, I thought he had suffered enough in 'Ascension,' and in 'Endless Fantasy Legend 2,' finally a Hero came around to resolve the mess allowing him a bit of rest.


"But alas, he still can't clock out from work!


"Damn the plot-induced death, if only you let Vision·Lee's blood bar appear, although I can't defeat him, surely some boss will splurge on four full-star characters to defeat you!"


Zhuge Jun lamented while progressing through the story.


Clearly, it had now entered the "forced plot-induced death" phase.


Even if players arranged their team strongly, they couldn't just barge in and eliminate Vision·Lee to resolve the crisis; they had to follow the story step-by-step, advancing as the plot dictates.


In other words, from the mechanics of the game, this is where players are most powerless, and the game plot most likely feeds players shit.
