Seems a bit harsh. I get what you're saying, but he was just trying to get a programming language to be more accessible to others on the Switch, I don't really see what's so abhorrent about that, though yes, I agree that what he did wasn't very intelligent and will likely bar him from being able to release games with Nintendo in the future, but it wasn't exactly "evil", just ill planned.What an idiot. Hopefully Nintendo come down on him hard and others shun his work. It's weird how seemingly proud of himself he is considering this will have no worthwhile outcome for him.
Yeah but once users get to start prodding at that sandbox there's a chance they'll find an exploit at some point.The game (like all games) is extensively sandboxed, so even if you broke out with one Ruby's many known bugs, you'd still be in userland sandboxing.

For those saying arbitrary code execution is not an issue because games are sandboxed: sandboxes are made to be broken. :P
They got out of the sandbox the first time they tried it, two years ago:Yeah but once users get to start prodding at that sandbox there's a chance they'll find an exploit at some point.
As expected. He'll be fortunate if he's allowed a second chance to put the game through certification without or without the easter egg in tact.Apparently it's already taken down. He should've really put his easter egg through certification.
Yeah that's what I was thinking. It wasn't very smart of the dev, but to be literally angered by this and wish harm upon them, well I just don't understand that at all. He didn't hurt anyone, just made an ill thought out business decision; I'm pretty sure we've all made those before.It's no surprise, but it's a bummer that anybody would be upset about this.

Get the game before it goes MIA.
Nintendo ninjas probably on this as we speak
I can understand being angry at the dev.
Here's why: This could potentially lead to more people creating more hacks for games for the Switch. While most people would probably use the exploits to homebrew, you're always going to get people who do this. This dev just made it easier and basically probably drove sales due to exploiting the certification process and telling users to quickly buy their game to attempt to exploit the system
Clearly the masters in this case refer to Nintendo and their gated rules, but what a terrible way to get that message out. All he's done is burn bridges with virtually no reporting on this. Essentially, few people will know what's happened here or care about it.This Easter Eggs is also for you adults that have forgotten what it felt like to print "hello world". "The sky is the limit" mentality has been beaten out of us and replaced with "don't do anything that will get you into trouble with the masters that feed us".
I've created the first spark. The fire is smoldering. Now *everyone* needs to make sure these embers don't die.
Build. Share. Teach a kid to draw a square instead of saying "ooooo you're going to be in troubllllleee" for fucks sakes.
Well, reading more of the developers responses to this then he's actively gone looking for trouble with Nintendo

I remember those days too. Programming on my ZX81 was a fun time for sure but this seems like a real misfire which isn't getting a message out there as widely as he could have.I like it. If we don't extrapolate to "wake up sheeps", I guess it is a fair message. We, 25+ years old, used to tinker a lot with PCs or even consoles just to get them working, playing games or watching porn (I miss those boobies I watched through a green screen).
Yeah, I feel like if he actually put the script engine through certification as he should have in the first place, he could have sent a much better message overall. For one, it would have stayed up for far longer. Though perhaps there's some extra hurdles to certification of those features.I remember those days too.

Let's say you're the publisher responsible for sending the game to certification. The dev doesn't inform you that they included a tool like this as an Easter egg in the game, and so you make no note of it when you discuss the game with Nintendo and send a build in to be certified. Then after release, the dev is like "lol check this out!" and immediately gets the game yanked for their own stupidity.Good thing I snagged it before it got delisted! Itll be fun to mess around with until Fuze or SmileBasic comes out.
Why would this make someone angry?
There's a lot of things to tinker with in 2019; you don't need to tinker on a Switch.I like it. If we don't extrapolate to "wake up sheeps", I guess it is a fair message.

Yup. The OS on most consoles is basically DRM with some nice added features like a friends list.
Nobody needs to tinker on anything, it's a case of wanting to tinker on everything.There's a lot of things to tinker with in 2019; you don't need to tinker on a Switch.
Oh,I thought they guy was just referring to consumers.Let's say you're the publisher responsible for sending the game to certification.

The publisher would have every reason to be pissed at this guy.
Doesnt Switch have that weird workaround to get to the built in browser? used it months ago.
