> Edit: children have helped point out the precise notion of ethics - no exploit is unethical on its face, so long as it is disclosed

Calling people children for correcting your assumptions breaks HN guidelines, please review: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Whether video game exploits are ethical was never a question.

Children comments to theirs, not childish commenters. For what it’s worth, I thought the same thing on first read before I realized another interpretation.

Sorry! You’re right. My bad assumption, I’m embarrassed. Apologies to parent @szvsw.

FWIW, I completely misinterpreted their comment too. I thought they were talking about actual young people and the intersection of innocence and ethics or something. Never would have connected it to "child comments."

I'm pretty sure that's an abbreviation for “children comments”.
