For the non-technical people, there was a link directly to their database full of levels within the software of the game itself and the users were given permission by the developers to add and update things in it directly. The person who found the hole said "hey, this is really unsafe," and Team Meat said "no, we know what we're doing, we do this all the time." Then someone else found out about this hole (because really, it's a pretty grievous thing to overlook, sort of like leaving your keys in your unlocked car) and did this:

Some guy on the team got all pissy and responded with this:

Yeah, sadly that really f***ed things up for a few hours in super meat world but it was all fixed before i even woke up today.
it sucks when people attempt to destroy the awesome creative things people make, and even more so when other people went out of their way to make this tool for fans as a thank you, asking nothing in return.
the good news is tommy had full backups of everyones levels, so even after they deleted everyones work he was able to return them with a single click and fully block all incoming attacks.
in the indie game the movie trailer im quoted saying that i desperately want to make friends but i dont want the actual interaction because i probably wont like them. this is one of many reasons why i feel that way.
there are a lot of sad people out there that love to destroy things to make themselves feel better, in the end it doesnt make them feel better but makes things worse for everyone else.
it really sucks that people are like this,
merry xmas i guess.
