alt Hacker NewsHah. It probably shouldn't be that surprising? Most engineers learn security on the job, not school. Game devs don't deal with -- and don't need to deal with -- the kinds of security issues Google and the military do.
Google has probably the best security team in the world, and they need to. The military deals with state actors by definition.
Gamedevs need to ship. I'm not saying they don't care about security, but short of some showstopper critical problem, it's not a thing and doesn't need to be.
It doesn't matter if your game is secure if nobody plays it lol
Games are a different product altogether. Game developers want to have fun and create a fun experience. Security is almost always something they'd avoid if they could. They'd rather spend the time on more polish, juice or play testing.
Besides stopping cheaters, in almost all conceivable cases, security doesn't make a game better.
