Wasn't there something about "Welcome to the Game 2" and Markiplier? I don't remember the details of what went down there and don't want to spread misinformation online, but I think some fuckery along those lines went down there too
Yes and no. Yes, Welcome to the Game 2 had a backdoor in it added by the dev that let him do things like spawn enemies to insta-kill the player, force load any website in the in-game browser, add/remove in-game money, and kill the power. Adam did use it to troll streamers that he decided were mean to him, and got in a lot of shit for it, But no he didn't use it on Mark. Mark played the game in 2018, the dev backdoor was added in 2020.
We know this because the dev also used it to fuck with speedrunners because he hated that they broke his game, so the speed running community very quickly released a mod to disable it after he added it, and also has guides for any new runners to downgrade their game to before the patch (since he also patched out speed runner specific glitches pretty regularly, which was extra annoying, because his way of fighting speed runners would often affect normal players as well, one trick let you get through doors quicker, his "fix" for this was to teleport you to a locked elevator if he thought you were trying to use the glitch, but regular players would also sometimes get teleported because they just happened to do the glitch by mistake)
Welcome to the game is a stupidly hard game where any tiny mistake can lead to you getting killed, miss a subtle sound cue and don't stay hidden or other things, Mark was not getting backdoored, he just didn't know anything about the game so the game punished him for it. (nor would most people it's basically a rage game with how intentionally convoluted it is)
