In my opinion, this isn't the sort of behavior that should be advocated. If people pirate the software produced by these companies that support SOPA, then that just validates SOPA. Additionally, he doesn't exactly give his games away for free so it's a strange stance to take in my eyes.
Anyway, my thoughts and feelings on copyright infringement weren't relevant discussion for this thread. I instead chose to focus on him acting as if nothing had happened, when the rest of the Internet proved otherwise.
Hi, I registered because I had read this story earlier today and decided to contact Team Meat's developer and ask him a question. His response prompted me to post this here. My question is of a political nature, but you can ignore that part. The part that struck me as odd, and the part that matters for this conversation, was where he claimed nothing happened.
To give that a little context, once the details of this vulnerability were in the wild the shenanigans everyone ran on their database had affected everybody's ability to play the game. It would crash upon launch.
Anyway, he responded ~two hours later, just after that post on the Steam forums noted that the game was playable again.
Does "nothing happened" seem accurate here? And for anyone that has the skills to access that database, is it still accessible and...modifyable?
