Wanting to stay relevant, the guy who programmed the popular Whack-a-Mole game wrote code into the program that causes the game to fail at a given interval. This is a common trick for many programmers: They write code so that the system will fail. I’ve seen that technique used many times, mostly to ensure that the programmer gets their final payment. But to consistently program something to fail is a con game. Glad this guy got caught.
