well i just remove enough pillars from my game that when people try to copy it the whole thing doesn't work

the point is generally so that people can't copy a fully working version, and then make it hit the front page (like 1dev2's game)

Yep. Most of our places aren't even worth the effort to press Play.

That isn't explaining why you need to have copy protection.
That's explaining how you do it.

I'd be happy to have all my games uncopylocked for people to learn, but the world has given us thieves that will learn and or use it against you. So I cant.

It's just a challenge, and we like them.

Scripters vs exploiter

Most people here don't know how to disambiguate server and client sided effects, nor how to create a secure RMI system...

Why do you need to stop your game from being copied?

You're already rich, I can understand normal people justifying it with that, but you're already rich, you sound so bloxing greedy when you say it.

So it's "generous" to allow exploiters to easily copy my game and make hundreds of thousands of R$ from it with no effort on their part except 5 minutes of copying?

I mean, unless you're selling your robux on the side, you're just a greedy blox.

The only way I can ensure that I am "the one with the game" is by protecting my game from place stealers. Which I do.

I am a firm believer that it's better to teach people with your amazing places than to be a greedy blox.

For me, Roblox is to learn from. Letting somebody copy your place and then be famous from it is teaching them that using other people to do your work for you is a good method.

However, most people with anti-exploits just feel their work is too important to be copied.

I have found that uncopylocking extremely complex games, like Catalog Heaven, is utterly pointless. Maybe 3 people on ROBLOX will actually gain from it by examining the scripts. Most other people will just re upload it to their own game and hope it works.

I am greedy. I am selfish. I don't want other people claiming credit for my place. I don't want other people making money off my place.

If I ever finished a game, I'd want to ensure it doesn't get copied because I don't want jaredvaldez4 putting my game on the front page due to his influential status on the site. He's SOOOO manipulative.
