Godot Explains Save Encryption Politically

Description

The image is a dark-mode Godot Docs page with a left sidebar showing "GODOT DOCS", "stable", "Search docs", "Encrypting save games", "Why?", "How?", "Internationalization", "GUI", "Viewports", "Shading", "Networking", "Asset Library", "VR", "Read the Docs", and "v: stable". The main page breadcrumb reads "Docs » I/O » Encrypting save games", has an "Edit on GitHub" link, and the headings "Encrypting save games" and "Why?". The body explains, in unusually ideological prose, that a "capitalist oligarchy" drives mobile game consumption, in-app purchases, and virtual currency, then asks what would happen if someone edited saved games to assign items and currency without effort, concluding: "No, we definitely do not want that to happen, so let's see how to encrypt savegames and protect the world order." The joke is the mismatch between routine game-development documentation and a bleak social critique used to justify save-file encryption.

    Encryption simply offers more challenge.

    I hate it when I'm reminded of the Orwellian reality we live in.

            you can't do that tho without rebuilding the whole sentence, even then it won't have the same meaning

    When the impostor has not done any suspiscious actions as of yet thus coming to any conclusion would be premature
