10 Video Game Secrets Devs DIDN'T Want You To Find

Stepping away from twitter (something we'll have to get used to once it's done destroying itself), we come to the case of flat-out stupidity mentioned in this article's introduction.

The Forza Horizon series may be utterly superb - arguably surpassing Gran Turismo as the pinnacle of console-exclusive racers - but it's had its share of setbacks. Setbacks such as its third iteration accidentally including the developer build in one of its patches.

Less tech-savvy gamers (of which this writer is definitely one) may wonder why this was such a big problem, but the tech-literate among you will have realized what a catastrophic clusterf**k this was. By including the developer build in a free patch, developers Playground Games had essentially given all future content - including paid DLC - away for free.

Unlocking said content was a doddle for those with the technical know-how, as was proliferating it across the internet for any would-be pirates.

Fortunately the story has a happy ending. Microsoft kept the faith with Playground Games, who fully repaid their trust by producing the exquisite fourth and fifth entries in the series.
