But the knowledge itself wasn't evil. Alex started using LUA scripts legitimately —to stress-test his own offline game clones, to learn reverse engineering on emulators, and to write articles about game security. He even contacted the Critical Ops support team to report a genuine memory exploit he found (and they patched it in the next update). LUA was the perfect middleman
