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.

LOL@Leyanda!

That's the second time I've heard that today…

Anyway, get this, that de'piler… was -not- made by GG!

I think that the decompiler is a good thing, in many ways, and am not influenced by what I think of geargod, which is as follows: He's cool, awesome at coding, but he can be a bit of a twat sometimes. Not most of the time, but it's possible.

I am in no way affiliated with GearGOD.

If the creator of a game did not give you the right to decompile their game, then you don't have any right to do such a thing. Learning from games using the decompiler? Bullshit. Did the creator say it was open source? People just don't understand individual rights. Some things were meant to be a secret.

And, even if GG did not make the decompiler, he's responsible for distributing it. And using it to decompile GM(7) games violates the GM license agreement, which means it's obviously illegal.

Ah, Geargod is responsible? Heh. Always causing the chaos around the place. Anyways, being honest, reading this is… funny. You guys are panicking too much, you know. You only have reason to flip when you see your editable on a silver platter.

I actually have no objection to people seeing my games source and it would be nice to be able to see other peoples editables so… i likes the decompiler =D

im not too worried about it. though it can ultimately lead users to cheat scores to be sent to scoreboards online, which is the point of my site.

thats why im looking forward to a fully functional enigma. the only thing i have to worry about is if people are trying to get money from all my hard work that i put in for people to use for free.
