Bugs actually sells

[TestAddress]

I noticed for a while(20y) is that the reason I buy games is because I can break it.

Started with Pokémon Red Missing N0.

10y later I learned the catch any monster glitch and I bought a Pokémon Red again ( my GBC still works back then ).

Fast Forward I learned of Skyrim and, wow. Ambience and glitches made such a masterpiece.

After that Fallout 4, need to know the small nuances but I made a Blitz killer with just Survival, Radaway, Yao Guai Roast and Free fall Legs ( yes glitch way too ). I also Glitched my way out of the rabid mole rats in Vault 88, thanks to secondhand information.

Games are literally made to be broken just to sell.

Having to open the console to advance the Skyrim civil war quest at each step killed my desire to play that game.

Console commands, I missed them. I play on console so there is no console commands anymore.

No jokes about bugs selling stuff? I'm disappointed..

Serious answer : In DOOM 1/2/Final DOOM, It's the commands to put in the console for respectively : the god mode, all weapons cheat, and noclip. IDKFA is rumored to mean "ID Keys Firearms Armor" (because it's not only weapons, but also full armor and all map key), i don't know for the others. Also, don't try them in other doom-engine game, like Heretic or Hexen, you could have some bad surprise...

Now for a real bug that sells : the bunny-hop in Quake 1 was originaly a bug, but was so popular Id had no choice to conserve it in every following games. It made the multiplayer of Quake, it made what Quake was !

AH! Bit of lore for you then.

After Doom was announced, on Usenet, the following was posted:

Listen up, ID Software!

Next time you have an impending release of a much anticipated game, make sure its name is not so cool-sounding as DOOM and much longer to eliminate all of the casual "Where can I get xxx" posts. How about "Smashing Pumpkins Into Small Piles Of Putrid Debris" for the next game?

This took on a life of its own, eventually resulting in a fairly complete write-up of the 'game,' and since id Software found it funny, they put it in Doom as a cheat code.

Another bit of trivia - the band 'Smashing Pumpkins' takes its name from this same post.

bugs only sells when you need to actively achieve the buggy part

Pokemon's missingno is a feature, like everything else in old media where you can break them numbers.
Skyrim sells not because it's buggy but because we can make it buggy, everything bethesda sold afterward is sold with black magic.

if game get buggy while doing some casual run i'd be mad.
