Incorrect. A buff we overrun injects new code into the system that gets executed that was never part of the original system.

This is more like setting your screensaver or debugger to cmd.exe on windows NT and waiting for an admin process to crash or the screensaver to start. (I forget exactly how it worked)

I’d compare this “exploit” to playing a coin pusher type gaming kiosk with an especially large bankroll and statistical analysis to determine optimal play strategy.

If someone chose to play such a game intending to win and with appropriate planning to ensure wins through optimal play, I wouldn’t call that an exploit at all. It’s beating the game, and the owner may ban you from playing it, but no laws were broken by you playing it in such a manner with larger than average capital. But your winnings are yours, fair and square.
