Chapter 1678

On August 31, the high-profile box game online store was finally officially launched. On this day, Microsoft's share price rose again by a small margin.

The results on the first day were actually good, because all Nintendo games were sold in the box game online store, so the download volume on the first day was quite gratifying. Coupled with various opening activities of the store, there were about 100000 games on the opening day.

Well, although this data is not worth mentioning compared with the steam game store, Microsoft can comfort themselves that everything is difficult at the beginning, and the later things will be smooth soon.

However, in the afternoon, a serious accident occurred, because there was a loophole in the program. When players use the point card sold by Microsoft to recharge, if they directly close the web page and then open the personal center within the time of entering the account password, clicking the recharge and reading the web page, they will find that the recharge has been successful, However, the account and password of the recharge card can still be used.

It can be imagined that the loophole was secretly brushed tens of millions of box points, not counting. The person who found the loophole also showed off in the QQ group. As a result, the whole QQ group was brushing.

The communication ability of QQ group is amazing. Almost all QQ groups know the news in less than an hour.

So, the box game finally saw their dream scene, that is, more than one million level of user traffic. At the beginning, Microsoft was excited. This is a great undertaking!

What's more, because Microsoft prohibits the use of QQ, all employees are not allowed to log in to the QQ group, so Microsoft doesn't know about the vulnerability spread in the QQ group.

It is said that according to statistics, millions of users have swiped their recharge cards through this vulnerability... Some people even share their recharge card account and password directly. Anyway, as long as the operation is correct and the website is closed in time, an account and password can be used indefinitely.

It is conceivable that Microsoft will feel when it knows the news.

It was not themselves that finally saved the box game store, but the players. Because the number of players who learned the news was increasing, more than 1.2 million players finally poured in, which directly caused the access server of the box game store to crash and the whole website 404.

When the staff of the box game repaired the website, they found the abnormal data in the background and quickly reported it to the under secretary general. Then the sleeping under secretary went up and almost wanted to jump from the 12th floor.

This is a typical loophole in data feedback. Normally, such a low-level loophole should not appear, but it is excusable that a lot of program inspection work is omitted because of the rush to time.

After all, even by 2020, even Tencent will have countless loopholes, and even be played by the old godmother. This kind of thing is not illusory.

Take a step back. In fact, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to wait until the website is crowded by users to find vulnerabilities. As long as you stare at the background data, the recharge of several trillion will also make people understand that there is a problem.

However, because the whole team was too tired, after seeing the smooth operation of the website, the Deputy Secretary secretly ran to bed, let alone the front-line staff.

Among the three people in charge of monitoring data, there are two words to sleep. One is holding on and don't let himself sleep. The result can be imagined.

Finally, when Microsoft looked up and down at the total figure of $15 trillion, the staff of the whole box game online store were silent.

They don't want it to be true at all, but it's true.

"Suspend the website, and then clean up the data..." the Deputy Secretary General reluctantly issued instructions, so the online box game store that had been online for only 12 hours was closed for maintenance, and all the staff had to work overtime, carefully review the millions of accounts, and wipe out the illegal recharge box points.

Because there are no professional tools, and some players really recharge honestly, these must be screened, so these millions of accounts need to be reviewed manually.

Even if the deputy secretary asked Microsoft to work overtime and thousands of people came to review the data, it still took 15 hours to complete the toss and reopen the website.

On the day of the launch, the vicious bug led to the maintenance of the website and the deletion of user recharge. Of course, Microsoft's stock began to plummet again, falling directly below $160 billion.

So other programmers can have a temporary sleep after deleting the number, but the deputy secretary general can only go to the board of directors and be scolded for not doing porcelain work without diamond.

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

As early as three months ago, this game began to carry out various publicity, and this game has many selling points. First, this is Mario's Orthodox sequel, which is an orthodox sequel after five years. This name alone has pulled a lot of feelings.

Secondly, this is the first PC version game in Mario's history, which is definitely another blockbuster.

You know, in the history of Nintendo, it felt that it would never release any PC version of games. On the one hand, it was because of Nintendo's pride, on the other hand, it was out of fear that PC piracy would affect console sales.

This time, Nintendo launched the PC version of the game for the first time, which is still Mario's Orthodox sequel. This news is enough for countless Nintendo players to cheer.

Nintendo is absolutely helpless to make this. First of all, this is a strong requirement of Microsoft, because the main battlefield of the box game store is PC, and the windows system is also a PC system. At the beginning of the cooperation between the two sides, Microsoft proposed to make several PC games for Nintendo, otherwise the cooperation would be meaningless.

Secondly, Nintendo has to agree, because now the sales volume of N64 is getting worse. If it still insists on releasing the host version of Mario, but if it doesn't do well, the orthodox sequel of the Mario Brothers will fall into the tragic situation of less than 5 million sales.

Nintendo's games can never release the PS host version, so the PC version is inevitable, otherwise Nintendo's shelf will really fall.

So three months ago, selling the super sunshine Mario PC version became the consensus between Microsoft and Nintendo.

Now he caught up with the box game online store, and the deputy secretary general immediately felt that he was still lucky.

Why can steam game online stores become popular? Isn't it because Daqian tries his best to market Warcraft 3, and then let him drive the popularity of the whole platform?

Microsoft can also follow suit and use the high popularity of super sunshine Mario to engage in the same marketing, so as to drive the sales of box game online stores.

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