    Yes and no. While people can read the code and potentially exploit it, the opposite is also true. Having full access to it means others can find flaws in the code you’ve missed and contribute improvements to it. Being closed-source can be a detriment in that regard, so much so companies often rely on external security audits and the like.



  • Unironically Deus Ex, it’s full of cookie-cutter crazy conspiracy theories and references, but it introduced me to the literary genre of Cyberpunk and it’s surrounding culture back in the day. If it wasn’t for it, I probably wouldn’t be so critical of modern consumerism and corporate culture. It helps that a lot of the game’s social commentary remains very topical twenty years later, they simply don’t make games like this anymore.
