Ugh, so I was playing Super Meat Boy today and it segfaulted. I had a look at the stack trace (hey I'm a programmer, that poo poo's interesting!) and I noticed a couple of mysql_* functions in the stack trace.

I was a little amused, so I posted about it on Twitter. The official super meat boy account replied:



I tweeted back saying "I hope that's a local database..." (ok so let's ignore the fact that it'd be strange for a game to have a full on MySQL installation as a dependency. They responded with just a simple "why?". Alarm bells start ringing around this time.

Anyhow I was pretty curious so I fired up gdb and set a breakpoint on 'mysql_real_connect' and dumped out the parameters:



(yes, those are the MySQL host, username and password that I've redacted there)

I tried logging in with those credentials and holy gently caress it worked:



I replied to them with a screenshot of the Sequel Pro window but they remained indifferent - even pulling the authority I-know-what-I'm-doing card. Yeah right.



Anyhow that escalated to emails and they still didn't give a flying gently caress. (read in reverse order)



"You are not showing me anything I don't already know." -- what the gently caress? This stubborn fellow knows that his MySQL database is open to the world and he doesn't care? Oh well, if he doesn't care then I don't care.

It's poo poo like this that makes me laugh/cry all the time.
