YES. Did you read the part where the game devs use RCE with admin privileges to run patches? Any developer who does that should be aware of the security risks they’re taking.

Any developer yes, but I personally put game developers into a different category, they’re making games and trying to find shortcuts to meet strange management requirements. They don’t know the security side.. I’m admitting there should be some guard before code review is approved from a real security engineer

Developer yeah, someone who’s focused on recreating the game probably not

Trying to meet strange management requirements is normal for just about any professional developer. I don’t understand why you think game developers deserve a special exemption.
