There is nothing special about game development that justifies not knowing/caring about security. It's 2025. Everyone is deploying into a hostile environment (the world). Security is now a horizontal that cuts across all kinds of development: frontend, backend, web, mobile, PC, console. You can't just say "Oh, security is the job of a Security Developer. I am just a Xyz Developer."

Hey I'm with you... I literally have a talk I give at my company about security being every developer's job (it's called "Developers are bad at security" and it's very popular).

I'm not arguing that it's "not their job", I'm saying they are less likely to have been trained in security because of the nature of their job...
