This is not a BUG, this is a game feature - #309 - Chapter 308 198 is still too cheap!

“Wait a minute, wait a minute!”

The post posted by this Rongcheng netizen will not be corrected by Chen Ba.

He gathered his thoughts for a moment, then frowned and asked: “According to his logic, the game bug in “Abba” is actually an algorithm error?”

“right!”

Xiao Lu thought for a while and replied in the affirmative: “Judging from the results, it is indeed an error in the underlying algorithm of the game.”

“So this bug, which causes the game map and modeling abnormalities to overlap and repeat, is actually using computer performance to calculate the number of protagonist Abba through this algorithm?”

When Chen Ba said this, he was confused. How could this process be so similar to the “mining” process of a certain virtual currency that was so popular in the past few years?

He felt something was wrong.

So he called Xiao Lu, Liu Jinfu and others to open five computers with “different performance” to test the game bug.

The results show that.

This “result” is really linked to the computer performance level. To be precise, it should be linked to the computing power of the GPU and CPU.

The stronger the computing power of the GPU and CPU, the more “Abbas” will be generated by this bug.

at the same time!

As the main producer of the game and the person who best understands the underlying code of the game “Abba”, Chen Ba made an additional discovery.

According to the underlying code provided by the Tiehanhan system, the algorithm of this thing does have certain “cryptographic” principles. If nothing unexpected happens, the number of “Ababa” born through the bug will be constant.

That is to say…

When all these “Abbas” are dug out, even if latecomers try to fix game bugs, there will be no new Abbas.

“still have a question!”

“Why is there such a big difference between the player-controlled Abba, which is the Abba obtained when creating a new save, and the Abba generated by a bug in the game?”

Chen Ba realized that in the game “Abba”, there were the same two “Abba”.

One is controlled by the player, which is Abba that comes with the game at the beginning, and has the “binding” feature.

As for those “Abba” that randomly appear on the map due to game bugs, they have no binding characteristics, and the only reason the code is not repeated is that whoever masters this code is equivalent to obtaining the ownership of this “Abba”.

If the Abba generated by the bug is controlled by the player, its encoding will change.

This also forms the basis of “tradable”.

In other words, after a Bug Abba is transferred to another person, that person only needs to control the Abba, and the original code will become invalid and a new string of codes will be generated.

There is no possibility of a string of codes being reused by multiple people.

“That’s not the point, okay…”

Seeing that Brother Ba has been struggling with whether the so-called Abba can be transferred, Xiao Lu couldn’t help but point out: “Isn’t the point: Abba, who appeared due to a bug, can theoretically be separated from “The True Story of Abba” Does this game exist independently?”

Yes!

Chen Ba suddenly woke up. If Xiao Lu hadn’t reminded him, he wouldn’t have discovered that these “Abba” who appeared due to game bugs could actually exist independently of the game itself.

This is so perverted!

Decentralized, right?

In this way, “Bug Abba” becomes a dedicated mining software. As for the mined mines, which are “Bug Abba”, you can even store them directly on a hard drive isolated from the network.

“broken!”

After thinking about this clearly, Chen Ba said with an extremely ugly expression: “Now, I’m afraid “Abba” will be pushed to the forefront.”

This completely deviates from Chen Ba’s original intention of designing the game “Abba”, which is different from what he thought.

When he made this game, he originally wanted to compete for the Oscars in the gaming industry and win a heavyweight trophy for Tianba Studio by relying on the advantages of its subject matter in a year when awards were small.

As for whether the game is popular or not, and whether the sales are high or not, to be honest, these are not very important.

After all, “Abba” has not carried out any large-scale publicity and promotion since its release. It is obviously not for making money.

But now, because of the “wonderful discovery” of this Rongcheng netizen, it is impossible for “Abba” to keep a low profile.

Perhaps no one would care about an ordinary charity game, and not many people would be willing to try it except for core fans.

But what if this is not only a game, but also a “mining” software that can mine a brand new Internet virtual currency?

That’s so interesting!

Although “Abacoin” has just been born, there is currently no exact transaction value, and no one knows whether it is worth anything.

But everyone has a “gambling nature”.

Regardless of whether there are dates on the tree or not, let’s hit two poles first. Abacoin, which meets all basic conditions, has inherent “hype” value!

One can imagine.

Once this news leaks out, “Abba”, which was originally mediocre and very low in popularity, with less than 100,000 players, will become the most popular game on the Internet overnight, if not the most popular game.

League of Legends? Cultivation fantasy?

Pinball? CF?

Stop it!

If, as Chen Ba expected, “Abba” is proven to have mining value and can produce a brand new virtual currency, all games on the market will have to make way for “Abba”.

God knows how many crazy players will flood in at that time!

No, the people who poured in at that time were probably not gamers, but gold miners who came with the idea of ​​​​”gold mining”!

…

It turns out.

Both Chen Ba and Xiao Lu underestimated the power of the post written by a Rongcheng netizen and the influence of this post.

In just one day, this post spread all over the Internet, and almost everyone was discussing it.

At first, when netizens read the news about “Abba”, they were quite puzzled, what kind of game is this? Why haven’t you heard of it?

Looking at the game introduction again, that’s it?

Netizens who rolled their eyes and had no intention of buying and playing this game immediately became stunned after learning that this game could actually “mine”.

What the hell?

Isn’t this a public welfare game where you play as a disabled person and experience the difficulties of traveling and living for disabled people from different perspectives?

How can I still mine?

The domestic price of 198 yuan is quite expensive. After all, many players are not willing to pay for a game with a special theme like “Abba”.

But now it was revealed that “Abba” is not only a game, but also a mining software. The price of the game is as high as 198 yuan. It is like giving it away for free. It sold 680,000 yuan in just one day. share.

And this number is still growing!

Chen Ba was going crazy. As of 6 p.m., the cumulative sales of “Abba” on Nobug, Steam, Wegame and other platforms had exceeded one million copies.

This is simply incredible.

You know, “Abba” has been on sale for almost five days, and during these five days, a total of 236,000 copies were sold in the first four days, and a full 700,000 copies were sold on the fifth day!

The price of the game is as high as 198 yuan!

One million multiplied by 198 equals 198 million. This is a question that elementary school students can calculate, and Chen Ba, who has gone to college, can naturally calculate it.

After finishing the calculation, he was stunned.

The game “Abba” is produced according to “sub-AAA” standards. The so-called sub-3A means that the overall quality is slightly inferior to 3A, but most of the content is comparable to 3A.

In other words, below 3A, I am invincible, and above 3A, I can pass two moves!

The total investment for a project of this level is not small. Combined with the extremely miserable sales of previous games, Chen Ba was mentally prepared for a long payback cycle, or even failure to pay back.

Unexpectedly, less than a week after it was launched, more than half of the cost has been recovered.

No, are you guys really crazy?

Let’s not talk about whether “Abba True Story” really has mining capabilities. Even if the rumors are true and the so-called “Abba Coin” can be mined through this game, it still faces a new problem.

It cost 198 to buy the game, electricity and Internet fees, computer hardware loss and depreciation…all these things are added up. Will the “Aba coins” you mined be enough to repay the original cost?

“It seems to be really good!”

Huang Qing appeared out of nowhere, holding a glass of Snow King’s lemon juice and said, “Have you paid attention to some of the new products in Tianning Pavilion?”

Tianning Pavilion?

Chen Ba was a little stunned. Isn’t this the “official game trading platform” officially launched by Tianba?

What happened to this platform? Why did Huang Qing ask him if he had paid attention to the latest information and changes on this platform? Did something terrible happen?

Wait a minute……

As if he had thought of something, Chen Ba said with a solemn expression: “You won’t tell me that someone is already trading Aba coins in Tianning Pavilion, right?”

“That’s right!”

Huang Qing admitted: “The first transaction of Abba Coin was completed a few hours ago, and then Tianning Pavilion put a large number of Abba Coin products on the shelves.”

“What about the price?”

Although everyone moved so quickly, Chen Ba was a little surprised, but he was more concerned about the transaction price.

Can ABBA coins really be sold?

Who is buying this thing? How much did you buy it for? Is the Aba coin really worth that much?

“There are very few transaction records. The current transaction price is about 200 yuan per piece! If the price is lower than this, the order will be ordered immediately. The bug Aba currently on the market is priced at several thousand yuan, and some are marked with several dollars. The sky-high price of 10,000 yuan…”

After shaking his head, Huang Qing said: “This is a brand new thing. Because it is so new, the market value is difficult to determine, and the price changes every moment.”

“As for who is buying bug Aba, according to my guess, it should be those speculators with the dream of getting rich overnight. They are hoarding goods like crazy.”

Are the speculators here?

The more Chen Ba heard about it, the more shocked he became. It had only been a day since this thing came out. Not only did it have transaction records, it also had an initial transaction price, and there were even speculators entering the game to stock up at low prices.

This is too abstract.

There are already signs of speculation on the first day. If it takes two more days, the so-called “Abacoin” will not be able to take off from the same place?

“As long as someone joins the hype, it will definitely take off.”

“But don’t worry too much. At least for now, the output of Bug Abbas is very low. Someone used an 8090Ti graphics card to remove the bug, and only four Abbas were generated.”

At this point, Huang Qing said with a smile: “And some people have revealed that if this game bug is used for mining, the computer will run at a high frequency and high power consumption, and the hardware loss will be considerable.”

8090Ti only dug out four?

Chen Ba was a little surprised when he heard this. If what Huang Qing said is true, then the output is indeed not very high, and Abacoin is unlikely to have much room for speculation in the short term.

After all, there are only a few Bug Aba available for circulation on the market, and the plates are too small, so it is unlikely that any big dealer will come to speculate on this.

But think about it from another perspective.

As long as there are bugs in the game “Abba”, there will only be more and more “alien Abba” born because of bugs.

When this number reaches a certain limit, Chen Ba can conclude that Abacoin will definitely usher in a round of crazy hype…

Now the question is!

As the developer of the game “Abba”, should Tianba Studio step in to stop this chaos?

“How to stop it?”

“This is a bug that appears in the single-player story mode, and it’s related to the game algorithm. He insists on digging it, can you stop it?”

Chen Ba: “…”

This is really the truth.

If this bug occurs in online mode, their Tianba Studio can stop it, and no one will even buy Aba coins.

After all, in online mode, Tianba Studio is equivalent to the “mine owner”. Isn’t it them who has the final say on how much the mine produces?

But the trouble is, this bug appears in the stand-alone story mode and is supported by an independent algorithm, which means it is not affected by Tianba Studio.

What can they do?

You release an update patch, and if people don’t update it, they can still mine it. How can you go to someone’s home and uninstall the game for them?

“But I can’t just ignore it!”

Chen Ba knows very well that the virtual currency thing is, to put it bluntly, a capital game of beating drums and passing flowers around.

If they let it go and allowed the so-called Abacoin to grow wildly, it would cause trouble in the end, and Tianba Studio would probably be responsible for it.

“Let’s do this. We’ll first prohibit Tianning Pavilion from trading Aba coins, so as to stop some people’s thoughts.”

“This is a stopgap measure!”

Huang Qing shook his head and said: “If you don’t let them trade in Tianning Pavilion, can’t they go to other places to trade?”

do not forget!

The alien Abba, who was born due to a game bug, can exist independently from the game. He can be traded by others privately or in another place. Tianba Studio has no way to do it.

“This won’t work, that won’t work either, so what do you think we should do?”

Chen Ba wanted to show off.

Of course he knew it was difficult to manage, mainly because this bug was too special.

How special is it?

It was so special that Tianba Studio had to give up everything, remove the game “Abba” from all platforms, and prohibit downloading, dissemination and sharing through encryption, in order to prevent what will happen next.

But is this possible?

The answer is that it is impossible. For a game that has been made with so much money, you will give it up if you say you want to give it up, and it will be removed from the shelves if you say you want to.

The game has been taken off the shelves, so where can I get my brother Ba’s TGA Annual Game Award?
