Since we have no additional evidence to select between the two options, do you really think that malice is simpler than stupidity?

- Paul_S 14y agoI'm not going to do any kind of full disclosure here (I know this is lame) but I work in video games so I know what it looks like from the other side. We're not all idiots here, we just do as we're told.
- danudey 14y agoAs a Vancouverite, I've seen enough layoffs to believe this entirely (you're fungible and replaceable). Still, I don't think that Ubisoft intentionally created a security issue, just that they didn't care about one that happened and deadlines were coming.
- jbrechtel 14y agoI didn't mean to imply that video game programmers were stupid... :) I was saying it seems more likely to me that any random developer making a stupid mistake like this seems more likely than a company having real motivation to create this kind of security hole. I suppose, alternatively, this could have been an individual developer's intent. An exploit like this would get a pretty penny on the exploit market, I'd think.
- retr0rocket 14y agoactually it fucking is, after the entire securom debacle you think they dont know they are putting in rootkits? ubisoft is known for this stuff. shut the fuck up you toady. the only way you can say its stupidity at this point is if they are MASSIVELY retarded at ALL levels, thus malice, is simpler. fuck i hate people like you, you are the ones that ask for sources on shit you can google.
