Back in 2010 I was thinking about the fact that innocuous looking software that you might be willing to use in an education environment might in fact contain very objectionable content. It seemed to me – in fact, it still seems to me – that only open source software could even come close to not having this problem; although, on the other hand, one might also be able to get by with trust.
Anyway, to illustrate this I wrote a little game that identified itself, when started, as Fluffy Bunny Friend: a cute game for unattended young children. But the game was called Hidden Nazi Mode. And there was indeed a hidden Nazi mode. After showing it some testers, I realised that it wasn’t really making any non-obvious point. So I renamed it The Game Formerly Known as Hidden Nazi Mode, took out the hidden Nazi mode and released it along with the source code.
That’s probably how it happened. There might be nothing false about that account.
