This is the people you want to "convince" to buy it. But if the game is any good, PEOPLE WILL PIRATE THE GAME, and you can do jack with it.īut there's subset of the people, who pirate the games, these people want to try it without paying and then decide if they pay for it or not. And guess what? You can remove more features from your game, obfuscate it with VMprotect, sit on your head, I dunno. People will pirate your game, because they don't want to pay any money for it. People don't pirate your game because of LAN. The gist of this is to deny any gameplay experience to non official versions of this game, it already damaged a lot years ago and it still does today if we allow a vulnerability like this one it is used mainly by people using virtual LANs to connect, not real physical ones aka LAN parties, that allows steam-unlocked versions (pirated versions of the game) having multiplayer under this condition.
Hello, by security issues we mean mainly piracy no matter you don't care to allow anyone to connect directly to your PC. Money is not the goal of this, just a means to an end Moreover, a trully dedicated hacker can make wonders. Now regarding piracy the point was pretty clear, it damages the title, this change won't prevent the game from being pirated anyways. The original LAN and IP code relies on sockets that requires a direct connection to a PC, you indeed need virtualization or opening ports as they are disabled because it compromises your PC security, you can't play on IP nowadays unless you open a security breach to play, as we don't have servers (yet) to prevent this from happening we have to remove this at the moment. Our safety is not compromised by the LAN option. Just state that you are doing it so that more players pay to buy the game and that's it. This is for security against the game being pirated.
This is not a change for player security. We hope to deliver new and amazing stuff but without neglecting security, that will always come first and on top of anything else. We are very sorry if after all the things we've given we have to rollback some for your own safety and the title's one. You can gain much more popularity by improving the game and attracting people, than wasting time plotting against your loyal fans. Now we take features away for the false premise. Back in 00s developers knew that giving features to the user is important.
