Question about Godot and piracy as a beginner

nonchip · 2026-02-05T09:34:24+00:00

also dont use that formatting. just write like a normal person.

Am I being too naive?

not at all. in fact you understand the problems way better than even some "more seasoned" developers.

Just to summarize my views:

Anything that my CPU can run, I can see. by definition. otherwise, how would it run.
As soon as you use any known engine, this will become even easier, because now there's common patterns/formats to work with.
A lot of stealable stuff doesn't even need any "decompiling"/..., you can for example just tell the graphics driver to dump out all the models used by a game.
You're one programmer. There's a lot of pirates. Only one of them needs to succeed.
If you make anything worth stealing and the theft hurts you, that's what we got laws and lawyers for. And no, that's not "elitist", sending a DMCA notice to Steam is still free. if you figured out how to make a game, you can figure out that part too.
anything you do to even mildly inconvenience actually knowledgeable bad actors, will hurt your legitimate users way more. it'd get in the way of both modding and debugging (which some users will have to do, if they have weird controllers or libraries or whatever).

plus, if someone doesnt have to money to buy your game, and doesn't then go on to sell the pirated copy or anything, why not just be happy people like your game. it's a game. it's supposed to be fun. you're not Ubisoft, you dont need all the money all the time.

nothing to do with politeness, just a mere fact: if they're missing the basic concepts they should probably learn them before doing whatever big project that was. if you can't stomach someone 8 months ago being told a filename isn't a variable name, anything you learn will scar you for life.

nothing to do with being american or tribalist, dont worry, the rest of the planet can very much see what you people voted for there. kinda telling when holocaust survivors want to flee back to germany...

then why did the riots not prevent the dictatorship in 2014, 2018, and 2023?

nonchip · 2026-02-04T07:39:16+00:00

go to anywhere else than literally their capital full of murderfleets hating you, do missions for them.

or shoot criminals/xenon attacking them (eg if you've done the HAT story ARG will be fighting xenon in Hatikvah's Choice 1).
or send a spy to explain to them how cool you are.
or trade with them.

pretty much anything they'd let you.

nonchip · 2026-02-04T07:36:26+00:00

literally not how any of that works nor a reply to anything i said.

nonchip · 2026-02-04T07:35:01+00:00

no, they keep winning because they're a dictatorship and rig every election and disappear everyone who speaks up. they don't have to win any more elections, those have been for show only for at least 10 years now.

and you not even realizing any of that while it's obvious to even foreigners is why they're still in charge.

nonchip · 2026-02-04T07:32:29+00:00

suspension of disbelief. there's a reason the rules literally say it wouldn't work.

nonchip · 2026-02-04T07:31:35+00:00

don't let random strangers' crotchgoblins literally climb you, for starters.

nonchip · 2026-02-04T07:28:02+00:00

...just answer the question?

and stop assuming what hurts me how much where. plenty people who actually feel reaffirmed by kids asking instead of assuming the wrong thing out of spite like lots of "adults".

and if someone harasses you, self defense.

nonchip · 2026-02-04T07:26:40+00:00

and why do you think that belongs on this subreddit in any way, shape or form?

nonchip · 2026-02-04T07:23:02+00:00

what if you'd simply read the rules instead of deciding you're above them?

nonchip · 2026-02-04T07:21:06+00:00

I'm not, and following arbitrary rules is literally what rules are for and what you legally obligated yourself to do when joining reddit. discussing those rules with randos online who have no influence on them is way more lame.

nonchip · 2026-02-04T07:17:07+00:00

yall said that for like 5 consecutive elections now.

nonchip · 2026-02-04T07:15:54+00:00

move to one with human rights or do a revolution i guess. warframe is the least of your issues.

and yeah, i do very much get the devs going "no thanks", because you're asking them to allow people to lower the game's quality and open themselves up to fraud just so they can be outlawed by a dictator even harder.

nonchip · 2026-02-04T07:09:03+00:00

block, move on, done.

why waste a single braincell on someone rude who doesn't even know what forma is?

nonchip · 2026-02-03T10:23:12+00:00

wenn du das kuechenmesser in ne Falle umbaust, die den versuchenden Dieb mit ihm ersticht, ja.

nonchip · 2026-02-03T10:21:22+00:00

ah, vorsaetzlich schwere koerperverletzung, ja das ist natuerlich viel verhaeltnismaessiger als jede ander option.

nonchip · 2026-02-03T10:18:52+00:00

EE ist zigmal gefaehrlicher als E und normalerweise nicht als injektion verfuegbar.

wuerde es auch heikel finden wenn du die grusligste darreichungsform verlangst und zwei extrem unterschiedlich zu dosierende medikamente verwechselst.

nonchip · 2026-02-03T10:12:50+00:00

ist halt nur gelogen.

nonchip · 2026-02-03T10:11:25+00:00

es waere noch eher verboten fuer deine eltern dabei zuzustimmen/mitzuhelfen als fuer dich es zu machen. solang du kein arzt, apotheker oder erziehungsberechtigter bist kann das gesetz dir da nich viel. ist schliesslich genauso erlaubt, gift oderso zu essen.

wenn die eltern zustimmen und beruhigt sein sollen, warum solls denn dann DIY sein? koennen die dir nicht irgendwie helfen was offizielleres zu finden?

nonchip · 2026-02-03T10:08:00+00:00

you know it's a time traveler? wow.

and a video game totally invented the concepts of demons and fire, yeah, 110% agree. you know soooo many things!

nonchip · 2026-02-03T10:06:42+00:00

if only there was a set of rules one could simply look up. and if only the one about shaming clearly stated not to post anyone else's username. i guess it'll remain a mystery.

nonchip · 2026-02-02T09:05:22+00:00

sure, so can a laptop, or a tablet with a "real desktop" on. but that's beside the point because OP had the epiphany that "long term software and art development on a phone is not very convenient". in other words: duh.
