Facepunch’s incompetence and negligence by letting people directly download games is going to ruin s&box even more
Wow just wow.
Facepunch continues to show just how unready they were for this launch. AI slop, obvious botting stealing playfund money from honest creators, and now we found out they made it extremely easy for people to download other games. I won’t share the site or method used to do this but I want to vent.
I tried it myself and I can clearly see all of the source code for the big servers like dxrp and northboundrp and mauverp. Like the actual raw source files. I opened some of the games in my editor and it works just like the live servers. What’s stopping me from making my own clone and skinning it? What’s stopping the grifters and ai slop makers from stealing other people’s work now?
And yes I know this is technically possible with any game outside of s&box BUT IT’S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THIS EASY. Someone shouldn’t be able to get their hands on a game’s source code with the click of a button.
I feel so sorry for all these creators. We’re likely going to see new games that are copycats, and mediocre ai slop games suddenly having the same features as another game that an actual developer put true time and effort into.
I really wanted s&box to be better but facepunch continues to show it’s incompetent.
