This Is Not a Bug but a Game Feature-Chapter 138 - 115: Game Immersion
The internet has no secrets.
The news that the cleaning and restoration function of "Garbage Disposal Fun" can optimize many software and make it more "user-friendly" quickly spread across the entire net.
Everyone exclaimed about learning something new while rushing to download the game "Garbage Disposal Fun."
Upon trying it out...
Hey, it actually works!
Not all software can be optimized, but most popular apps can be, and the optimization effects vary, but at the very least, it can remove some splash screen ads and pop-up ads.
This is truly amazing!
You know, nowadays apps of all kinds have splash screen ads on their startup page, sometimes lasting four or five seconds, which is really annoying.
After cleaning and restoring using the game "Garbage Disposal Fun," the splash screen ads are gone, and the top pop-up ads are gone too, instantly making the interface much cleaner.
Bugs like being unable to pay on e-commerce shopping apps and unable to reward on live-streaming apps have been particularly well-received.
Impulse Consumption Inhibitor!
Now, since playing the game "Garbage Disposal Fun," mom no longer has to worry about me making impulse purchases.
I don’t even have the chance to spend...
After searching the entire phone, only the recharge channel for "Garbage Disposal Fun" is still working normally, well now, it seems I can only give my money to Ba!
Faced with this situation, various companies were furious and started pushing software updates, forcing users to update the version or else the app wouldn’t work.
What was updated?
Nothing actually, just added a detection program so that once it detects a user using the "incomplete version," it immediately updates to fix it.
The users who hadn’t gotten enough of the "refreshing version" saw the forced updates and were quite speechless.
Though speechless, they still needed to use these apps, so they updated anyway, at most cursing under their breath.
"Curse all you want!"
These companies have thick skin; they let users curse as they like, knowing that if the user doesn’t update, they can’t use the app.
They are quite confident.
Especially those companies with no competitors; they firmly believe that commonly used mobile apps are limited, and many are "the only option"!
Take live streaming platforms, for example; there are only so few noteworthy ones, and if you don’t download their app to watch live streams, where else would you go?
This is why they dare to push forced updates, making the app unusable unless it’s updated. Because they know users can’t do without them; cursing while using is the norm.
The facts did turn out as expected.
People had just gotten rid of ad pop-ups for a few days before they quickly saw the familiar splash screen ads and top pop-up ads again.
Some didn’t believe it and, even though the version had been updated, still wanted to use "Garbage Disposal Fun" to clean and restore these apps.
Then...
The version updates got wiped!
Netizens were first stunned, then they tried one two three four more times, using "Garbage Disposal Fun" for secondary cleaning and restoration of these apps.
"Is there really such a thing?"
The disbelieving programmers, after the last update failure, urgently pushed another update patch.
This time they gave it their all.
It’s just a simple match-three game, after all. We’ve written code for so many years, seen quite a bit, and surely we shouldn’t be afraid of you!
Unexpectedly, the unexpected happened!
The problem that couldn’t be solved by the first forced update couldn’t be solved by the second either.
As long as players follow the same steps and use "Garbage Disposal Fun" to perform "restoration" operations, no updates will work, unless they overhaul the underlying code and start from scratch.
But how can the underlying code be changed at will?
Most common apps on mobile are like piles of messy code; even without "Garbage Disposal Fun" causing trouble, they often have plenty of bugs emerging on their own.
In other words...
These apps were not initially so "fancy" during development, nor did they have so many ads and new features; these were additions from later updates.
The content restored and cleared through "Garbage Disposal Fun" happens to be these later additions.
"Kind of like version rollback?"
"Now that you mention it, it really does seem like that!"
Chen Ba thought for a moment then said, "But I think it’s more like lightening the load, maybe slimming down."
A car can drive normally.
Remove the knick-knacks from the dashboard, the cushions from the seats, the phone holder from the vent, and the carpet floor mats; it can still drive! In some sense, it might even drive better and safer?
The splash screen ads, pop-up ads for the app... aren’t they just like those trivial decorations and knick-knacks in a car!
Removing these contents, the app itself is still the same app with no changes to the core, but it has lightened the load and seemingly runs smoother.
"We’re doing a good deed here!"
Chen Ba lamented, "We’ve helped them optimize their haphazard code, and instead of thanking us, they’re cursing us?"
Lu: "..."
Alright, alright! You call this a good deed, huh?
For ordinary users, the restoration optimization of "Garbage Disposal Fun" is indeed a good deed; after all, nobody likes ads.
But for those companies behind the apps, they probably feel worse than swallowing a fly right now and have a strong urge to have a showdown with Jiangning offline.
Fortunately, they have no proof.
To be precise, there’s no way to directly or indirectly prove the disappearance of these app ads is related to "Garbage Disposal Fun." No matter how many tests are run, this blame can’t be pinned on Tianba Studio.
...
The storm caused by "Garbage Disposal Fun" continues to ferment in the smartphone circle.
