Many gamers / investors are wondering why creating competitive games takes much time?

it is really needed and worth to wait to allow #developers focus on their work? or maybe we can make creating such games easier?
🧵👇

Recently software enginner - @0xCygaar was able to #hack VERY HOT game from @yugalabs - Dookey Dash

He discovered very risky solution made by @yugalabs which should not be implemented in game where players gaining scores to be on top on leaderboard and then earn some #money.

🚩They used client authoritative approach except server authoritative - VERY BAD DECISION

#ELI5 in simple words they allow generating and validating tasks needed to grow in game on client / player side, not on the server in cloud, so everyhing you need to cheat on Dookey Dash is allowed to you as long as you have some tech skills

Now people behind project like @BoredApeYC will have to probably manually verify results from leaderboard, the whole investigation thread below:

Could it be avoided? OF COURSE

"just" use the server authoritative approach like the team behind @starheroes_game

It is hard to implement this approach? NO

"just" use the proper tools like SDK from @elympicsgames which allow develop secure, scalable multiplayer games
