How do you know she's not? Because she doesn't explicitly say she's working on the exploits he's used? What do you think "updating" on a game is if not, y'know, updating?

You're very fixated on a detail that you're not even sure is one or another. I assume her constant working on the game is maintenance because they don't make it out like the game is seeing constant expansion. Plus again, if you know anything about game development, it's that any update or patch inevitably leads to more unseen bugs and exploits cropping up.

The game having known exploits and the soul developer being unable to patch them all at any given time is possibly the most realistic aspect of this whole scenario. Modern games have entire studios with teams of developers and they can't work this efficiently.

We're not given enough info to know the process exactly,

Yet you still draw conclusions on the process? You seem dead set on twisting any possible scenario into being the developer's fault.

so all I have to go on is, well, what we're given. Which is that she's the developer and she never once says she's focusing on the issues with the game of which she acknowledges.

Does she have to say it explicitly? It's not like the game's functionality is part of the plot. If she's working on the game almost 24/7 what else would she be doing?

Saying that he's just known for cheating rather then modifying the data of their specific match would make more sense, although it does raise the question of that, if they knew the guy was like that begin with, why even humor him with a match in the first place?

Probably for the actual reason we saw, where she takes him down a peg by out-playing him in front of a live audience?

I don't think it's unreasonable for Megu to not assume that a jerk who cheats at video games would turn out to be an actual psychopath and murderer who would also just happen to be given a Gaia Memory to turn into a giant bug. Unless you think developers should be able to patch that out, too.
