It's renpy. There is nothing they can code that will keep us out (the language is wide open). Even if they change language, it'll get decompiled or reverse engineered quickly.
Dude... relax your buttocks. You're on a proud pirate site. As long as there's at least one willing to share patron, you're in business.
Completely untrue, you can require an online connection at all times and validate people having an active patreon, you could then say make the connection the the server that does that use elliptical curve encryption based on certificates, which you could also hash even further within the game.
Someone will figure out how to connect to the servers get the content, rip it, and distribute it locally probably. It will quickly move in the territory of risks associated with pirating and distributing movies, with groups of people in other countries doing the dirty work.
Simmer down pal, I'm just here to watch.
All true in that post, it's the generation behind you guys that's grown up with streaming that will change things.
That's just the thing, piracy is already back on the rise. It was only waning because of the existence of Netflix. Now that every major content provider is all "Subscribe to our streaming service... it has like six things on it... But they're ours and we get all the money. $15 a month." piracy is on the uptick because so many people stopped pirating specifically due to the huge amount of content from varied content providers that Netflix had. We don't want to go back to overpriced cable, so we go back to piracy. It is highly unlikely that this won't happen with gaming as well. Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft will all either have their own streaming service or will still full on sell games digitally for download since vast swaths of the world do not have the reliable internet necessary for streaming. None of this is a valid defense for shoving DRM into a porn game.
All valid, you guys are thinking about now though, 20-30 years from now though, Starlink, LEO satellites and such, internet should be quite ubiquitous. I do agree, you get raped 100 different ways from subscription services, but that's where the money is at.
You mean like lesson of passion games. Just search for it on this forum. It has been 2 years and still no crack. We occasionally get CGI rip but that is it. It is just the question how wiling are you to inconvenience your costumers and they are willing. And judging by this thread do not pull on that chain :-D
The stadia thing will slow us down for a bit, then frameworks will be built to combat that. At the end of the day, it's all just ones and zeros, and we, with our constantly expanding knowledge, can read it like a book.
Apologize for what? I am not beholden to anyone, I work for free, of my own free will. I get paid nothing, you aren't entitled to literally anything from me, patron or not.
