What is the function of these files? I know what drm is but I don't know what kind of drm is in this game.st
At some point, a while ago, the dev was losing enough money by being a prick to his fanbase that he started to create "care packages" to encourage people to subscribe. You can see the download links for the care packages under the download link for the main game on page 1. They're nothing special...new menu screens, noncannonical sex scenes you can play by using the computer in-game, etc. Extra fan content that is not cannon and does not affect the story in any way. You can download the files and add them to your game if you so choose.
However, the care packages ended up on F95 when they were supposed to be only for subscribers, and the dev, understandably, did not like that. Keeping in line with his typical behavior, the dev asked himself, "how can I be the biggest cunt possible to my fans?" He hired an amateur programmer to add a couple lines of code to the game such that if you pirate any care packages, it
deletes all your game's save data. He then proceeded to have his fans spam this site and was promptly banned the site, had his game removed from the latest updates page, and had all links to his subscribestar removed from f95. The game has not grown since. His income, which was exponentially rising every year, immediately stagnated and has begun to dwindle.
IIRC, the "DRM" works by checking metadata from each care package to see if it's installed on multiple machines. It wasn't perfect -- at the time, there were discord screenshots of a few of his genuine subscribers getting burned by this as well. The care packages hosted on this site should
NOT contain metadata to trigger the "DRM".
Because the "DRM" is just a couple lines of code, you can bypass it by using game files with those lines removed. This is useful if you downloaded care packages from alternate sources or just want to be extra safe.
