I agree it's a risk...but at the same time find it silly, yeah it's possible to have malicious save files, I have yet to see that happen, what I have seen multiple times is actual game downloads having viruses in them.(last one being yesterday)...might as well remove all download files too! (not a big deal anyway here, the game has a skip to new content thing...which I wish all games had) There's a risk on EVERYTHING you download on the internet, just the way it is.
That said, back to subject, the new update delivers as usual! Takes a while for each release but makes up for it with a lot of content, one of the few games on here on a yearly schedule that are actually worth the wait.
I understand, but since you do see game viruses even with all the measures taken to keep it from happening with an organized team and channels on here ... By downloading something from someone anonymous and no accountability, people are taking even higher risks.
Also, in the past month, I personally have reported over a dozen bad actors who have tried to share "save files" and "universal translation mods" on various threads on this site.
So yes, it is happening. But with proactive volunteer staff and user reports, many are getting caught before you might see them.
Also this VN has so many little nuances with player choices which affects dialogue for gallery replays and the like -- a player shouldn't reduce their chance for a customized experience by playing even a safe save file... Let alone a virus or a "dick tugboat" or an "asshole only" save file made in jest to share.
Also, remember, save files may not include every sex scene if players choose not to romance certain characters, so content could be missed to for Light of My Life save files.
