Slay the Spire 2 has massive success using Godot. Devs do not intend to fight de-compiling. (www.polygon.com)

I’m happy for Godot’s commercial success here. But what’s this weird attempt at connecting open source to piracy? You can de-compile lots of Unity games too. Wtf.

[–] Nemoder@lemmy.ml 26 points 6 days ago

Yeah I guess you could argue that not encrypting or obfuscating the binary makes it a bit faster to create a pirated version but it doesn't really effect piracy rates beyond that.
I'm just happy to see a FOSS engine being noticed as important to the game's success.

Unity, and C# in general, are TRIVIAL to decompile (not accounting for obfuscators).

That il2cpp stuff gives me a big headache though. I guess you could consider that a kind of obfuscation.

[–] SockOlm@hexbear.net 13 points 6 days ago

it's more so that godot has no built in way to obfuscate source code, and likely never will

For whatever reason Slay the Spire 2 became this flashpoint for this discussion, even though, from all I've seen, the devs never made any statements complaining about it. Maybe it was fans getting things spoiled?
