And so the panic spreads.

Just read about the decompiler business. Big deal, it just means that some other idiot decided to show the world exactly how easy gamemaker can be ripped through, like alot of other idiots. I personally will not panic over this, since I am not making games anymore, and that nobody will really want to go about decompiling my games. Plus, I think it can run into legal matters, if a certain game is being sold for a price, decompiled, and then sold again by someone else. But, I don't know very much at all about law, so whatever. I'll start worrying when someone decides to decompile a bit of my work.

Aside from all that, almost nothing at all has been happening in the wonderful life of me. Getting my class ring in less than a month, and adding along the addition of a soon to earn Cortex Command game key, that's pretty much all I'm looking forward to.

Also, just to let you guys know, it may just be some dumb hoax to scare everybody out of their diapers. You only have reason to start flipping out when your editable is in front of you on some froobcake's silver platter. The panic is unjustified and without proof for it, so yeah.

I have nothing else to say, later.

Finally, someone who understands the decompiler for what it is, and not a harbinger of doom.

Some things people don't want to be seen. Like stuff that are unique to people. A decompiler is just like saying, fuck yourself and release it to others. Yea, everyone is real happy - the developer never wanted the game to be open source, and a decompiled game violates his rights.

I don't see it being too much of a problem…

Sure there is bad things, but there are good things to come from this as well…

Anyway, If a n00b does steal, which will be fairly likely.

The end product will most likely look blatantly copied. (As they would lack the skill to make it unique anyway…)

Plus, so long as you can prove yours was first, their should be no problem…
