I 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.
