Note that I am the "OP" as in I posted the link to HN but I am not the author or the developer whose story this is about.

Regarding https, looks like the parent comment linked to the "www" version of their site. Their non-www version does have https:

https://6acegames.com

Not defending the author's cleanliness or shadiness, just pointing out the facts.

Very sloppy for it to not even do a 301 redirect though. Even if you use one of those basic website builder services they will do that as standard.

Decided to run SSL Labs on the site out of curiosity[1] and they still have TLS 1.0 activated as well. That's just poor SSL config. A software company supposedly made up of talented coders should know way better.

They do mobile games, not webdevelopment.

I don't think so. Doing mobile game dev is very different from going web dev + system admin work.
