Chapter 1791 Nintendo's PC Games

On August 31, the highly anticipated box game online store was finally officially launched. On this day, Microsoft's stock price once again rose slightly.

The results on the first day were actually pretty good, because all Nintendo games were sold in the Box Games online store, so the download volume on the first day was quite gratifying. In addition to the various opening activities of the store, there were so many games on the day of opening, and there were a total of about 100,000 copies.

Well, although this data is not worth mentioning compared to the Steam Game Store, Microsoft can comfort itself that everything is difficult at the beginning and that things will be smoother soon.

But in the afternoon, a serious accident occurred because a loophole appeared in the program. If a player recharges using the point card released by Microsoft, if he completes the account password and clicks the recharge, and the web page is read, he will directly close the web page, and then open the personal center, he will find that the recharge has been successful, but the account password of the recharge card can still be used.

You can imagine what happened next. This loophole was secretly browsed tens of millions of box points. That's not counting. The person who discovered the loophole was showing off in the QQ group, but as a result, everyone in the QQ group was browsing.

The communication ability of QQ groups is amazing. In less than an hour, almost all QQ groups knew about this news.

So, Box Games finally saw the scene they had always dreamed of, which was more than one million user traffic. This news made Microsoft so excited at the beginning. This is a great cause!

What's even more serious is that because Microsoft prohibits the use of QQ and all employees are not allowed to log in to the QQ group, Microsoft doesn't know about this loophole that spreads in the QQ group.

It is said that there are already millions of users who have swiped the recharge card through this vulnerability... Some people even share their recharge card accounts and passwords directly. Anyway, as long as the operation is correct and the website is closed in time, an account and password can be used unlimitedly.

It is conceivable how Microsoft will feel when it knows this news.

It was not them who saved the Box Game Store in the end, but the players. Because the number of players who learned about this news was increasing, more than 1.2 million players finally poured in, which directly caused the Box Game Store access server to crash, and the entire website was 404.

When the staff of Box Games repaired the website, they found abnormal data in the background and hurriedly reported it to the deputy secretary-general. Then the sleeping deputy secretary almost wanted to jump from the 12th floor.

This is a typical vulnerability in data feedback. In theory, such low-level vulnerabilities should not appear, but because of the time-consuming process, a lot of program inspection work is omitted, and it is understandable that no vulnerability is found.

After all, even in 2020, even Tencent will have countless loopholes, and they will even be played with by Lao Ganma. This kind of thing is not considered a fantasy.

Take a step back. In fact, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to wait until the website is crowded by users to find the loophole. As long as you stare at the backend data, a recharge of several trillion yuan will make people understand that something is wrong.

But because the entire team was too tired, after seeing the website running smoothly, the deputy secretary secretly ran to sleep, let alone the front-line staff.

Among the three people responsible for monitoring the data, there are two words to sleep, and one is forcing himself to sleep, and the result can be imagined.

Finally, when Microsoft watched the total number reaching $15 trillion in recharge, the staff of the entire Box Games online store were silent.

They didn't want it to be true at all, but it was true.

"Suspend the website and then clean up the data..." The Deputy Secretary-General gave helpless instructions, so the box game online store, which was launched for only 12 hours, was closed for maintenance. All staff had to work overtime, carefully reviewed the millions of accounts, and erased all the illegal recharged box points.

Because there are no professional tools, and some players are indeed honestly recharged, these must be identified, so all the millions of accounts need to be manually reviewed.

Even though the deputy secretary asked Microsoft to work overtime together and thousands of people came to review the data, it took 15 hours to finish the phone and the website was reopened.

On the day of its launch, due to vicious bugs, the website was maintained and the user recharge was deleted, which of course caused Microsoft's stock to plummet again, directly falling below $160 billion.

So other programmers can take a short break after deleting their accounts, but the deputy secretary-general can only go to the board of directors to be scolded, calling him not to take on porcelain work without a diamond.

Fortunately, the deputy secretary was more part-time. After scolding him, he could return to the project team with a smile and announce that their next important time node was coming, that is, Nintendo's Super Sunshine Mario, which was about to be sold in the box game online store.

As early as three months ago, this game started to promote various promotions, and there are many selling points of this game. First of all, this is Mario's orthodox sequel, a five-year orthodox sequel. This title alone has a lot of feelings.

Secondly, this is the first game in Mario's history to launch a PC version, and it is definitely another bombshell.

You should know that Nintendo in history was a consulist who would never release any PC version of the game. On the one hand, it was because of Nintendo's pride, and on the other hand, it was out of fear that PC pirated versions would affect console sales.

This time, Nintendo launched the PC version of the game for the first time, and it was Mario's orthodox sequel. This news is enough for countless Nintendo players to cheer.

Nintendo is definitely helpless to make this. First of all, this is Microsoft's strong requirement, because the main battlefield of the box game store is PC, and the windows system is also PC system. At the beginning of the cooperation between the two parties, Microsoft proposed to Nintendo to create a few PC games, otherwise the cooperation would be meaningless.

Secondly, Nintendo has to agree, because now the sales of N64 are getting worse, if you still insist on releasing the console version of Mario, but if you don’t do the orthodox Mario Brothers orthodox sequel, you will fall into a tragic situation of less than 5 million sales.

It is absolutely impossible for Nintendo's games to release PS console versions, so the PC version is imperative, otherwise Nintendo's shelf will really fall.

So three months ago, the release of the Super Sunshine Mario PC version became a consensus between Microsoft and Nintendo.

Now that I happened to catch up with the box game online store, the deputy secretary-general immediately felt that he was still relatively lucky.

Why can Steam Game Online Store become popular? Isn’t it because Daqian tried his best to market "Warcraft 3" and then let him drive the popularity of the entire platform?

Then Microsoft can also follow suit and use the popularity of "Super Sunshine Mario" to also conduct a marketing campaign, which will drive the sales of the box game online store.

"This is our best opportunity!" said the deputy secretary.
