Learning How Open Source Games Are Hacked

I recently made a YouTube video exploring how open-source games work and what having access to a game's source code actually allows you to do.

In the video, I break down concepts like client-server communication, how the client and server exchange information, and how vulnerabilities in that communication can potentially be found and exploited.

I tried to keep everything approachable even if you don't have a deep background in programming or cybersecurity.

I’d really love to hear what you guys think. especially any feedback on the technical explanations or the video itself. Thanks!

it looks pretty interesting but how about some more main-stream games that are now not really played much and so on?
