Me clarifying my rant, it wasn't really meant to make sense in the first place so I'll see if I can't explain and sorry, my language skills are mediocre, so most of the stuff might not be that easy to understand, but I'll try to simplify it. Also I don't really care if someone understands this, I just had to get it out and continuing this type of conversation won't really lead anywhere besides me giving my opinion.
And yes, using the word "drm" is wrong in this case since he uses obfuscation, so I'll rephrase it like that.
You might be right about the performance, it's really not that noticeable, but I am running on old hardware so that might be why I noticed it.
Funny story about books, you can skip the parts you don't like, or in my case I rewrote parts I thought were badly written with the information given, and books give you all the information you need, otherwise you wouldn't be able to read them, while this game forces you to sit through really tedious events, cutscenes and really bad gameplay at best (without using the cheat_menu plugin or using the console, which he tries to block by his obfuscation code), so I think the ability to at least skip or change them are fundamental things players should be allowed to do and even VH had some interesting in game ways to avoid certain content (still really sad I'm not able to get it working anymore).
And yes I am planning to stop playing the game very soon if I am not allowed to change or skip stuff, and I think I might not be the only one who thinks like this, spending hours mangling a games code instead of improving gameplay and content when it's already lackluster is a recipe for disaster.
So in summary, since I don't always make sense, adding plain javascript obfuscation really won't stop pirates, real pirates have a lot more patience to even break assembly, but it will stop normal people from playing if they don't have the skills themselves to at least get it working, and most likely, those who do will become the ones to release it.
See my previous posts to see what the obfuscation does to the game, and I also found a lot of really nasty functions too, besides just the effects of the obfuscation. And to be clear, I am not planning to release the version I removed the login from, but I am planning to share what I changed to the obfuscated code so that other people who are paying for this can at least change the parts they don't like.
