He knew exactly what he was doing (I follow the developer on Mastodon). He took the necessary precautions, making sure that this wasn't a security hole. He gave a link to some source code so that you could learn to modify the game itself. I don't think this was "foolish" or "stupid," I think he gave us something awesome. He wanted to give us a bit of wonder instead of all of this hand-wringing.
