"It's not a bug, it's a feature!"

Recommended Posts

What constitutes a bug and what constitutes a feature?

I personally think a bug is an untended problem in all circumstances while a feature is actually programmed into the game, good or bad (in your eyes)

Some people views bugs to be features because it can actually help you. This is erroneous in my eyes and not what a feature really is.

What's your opinion on this?

Wow, that's a mind blowing opinion you have there :ph34r:

+1 (you got that lowest staff member record)

 

I don't think opinion matters here, those words have clear definitions.

 

Feature - A distinctive attribute or aspect of something

 

Bug - An error in a computer program or system

Why thank you!

You're most welcome :P

 

Back on topic... I agree with your viewpoint. However, I also think that bugs can be classed into different categories, for example 'unintentionally hindering' or 'unintentionally helpful'. As you said, some bugs (bugs can be defined as unintentional features caused due to errors in programming) can even be good for players, so this view accounts for that fact whilst not being erroneous or confusing features with bugs.

I guess the question is:

 

Say you see a blatant bug in the game but it actually benefits you rather than mess things up; would you report it or leave it as if it were a feature?

Well, I'd report it, since I'm... erm... a responsible staff member, you see...

Yep, the sky.

Oh you think you're so clever! Eventually, I will find out what you're up to and you'll pay! PAY!!!

 

Indeed, the ceiling is also up.
