PROTECTING YOUR PROJECT FROM THIEVES.

author=bulmabriefs
Nope, they're all haughty jerks. If you disable the ability to fix issues, it implies you think there aren't any issues. If you disable to prevent stealing, it implies you think the game is worth stealing. If you disable to be professional, you're kidding yourself since any game not made using a team of programmers and developers will have glitches, and not being able to easily repair them is actually the most amateur thing you could do.

I can see where this logic is coming from and I can kinda sorta agree with the first point, but at the same time, I think you're doing RPG Maker a great disservice by suggesting that none of the games are professional. Many of them are. RPG Maker is not inherently amateur. It is absolutely capable of allowing independent game developers to create amazing professional-quality games and sell those games publically. Indie and amateur aren't the same thing. Amateur (made for giggles) is the opposite of professional (made for profit), and indie (made alone) is the opposite of published (made with corporate support).

Also, although I always hold my own games in sort of low regard, because I always want to keep striving to be better, I don't think it's universally bad for anyone to think that they've made something that's at all worthwhile. That's pretty over the top. I mean, I think I'm a little like you, in that I also have a bad habit of getting really excited in any argument, and sort of exaggerating my opinions to their extremes so they sound really over the top, but when I realized I was doing that in this thread, I backed off.

Cool the fuck down bro. I gave up on this thread because I realized I was sort of going off the deep end. I decided it was more productive to just include a "Feel free to reproduce, edit or redistribute this work or its parts in any form, as long as it is free of charge" in all my shit and hopefully make a few other people feel bad about not doing the same.
