@RadarCoyote Totally, and i am glad to see them more clearly defining the scope. what i’m more worried about is a future where DRM on avatars becomes more common. increasing the barrier for a consumer with tools like this will only lead to my piracy imo
This isn't the way to go, and I cannot understate my disappointment in Jinxxy as a platform. DRM like this is a slippery slope that will eventually lead to the same clusterfuck that is DRM in Videogames (like Denuvo).
@CatMay0 I thankfully got a refund on the avi, but i’m not gonna lie, the way they are shaping the narrative with all of this rubs me the wrong way. they got called out, then blame others for it. some took it too far and that can’t be defended, but that shouldn’t void the arguments.
Update: I have beared witness to the project being wiped and the software removed from the Druffle package.
Understand that this was poor handling and there was NO malicious intent.
Thanks to @MarviWuff for forwarding me the contact and @yeusep3 for being understanding.
To anyone who has doxxed or sent death threats to the creators: you are genuine fucking scum. Nobody should have to go through that.
Valid criticism in a constructive manner is important, and I'm glad to see that the creators have taken steps to remedy the complaints raised.
We have removed the verification system from the Druffle, it is now just a regular package.
Yeusepe is deleting everything from his server and is willing to have people check him on it.
We just wanted to be innovative with a new tool to help protect creators work..
To use my avatars you must give me your ID, your social security, your mothers maiden name, a video of you telling me what you had for breakfast and then you must also beat me in a game of hopscotch (best of 5).
Then you may have the avatar.
@KazeeAme same, sad part is i did try and reach out to the creators via their discord to try and resolve the issue. seems tho as they have no interest in it sadly. have seen people mention here on twitter that it’s already been pirated…
@KronosProtogen I’m not sure what i’m more upset about, the creators doubling down on DRM causing people to not get their files, or them having their stuff already pirated. this entire situation has really been blown way out of proportion.
@KazeeAme so in other words: you are authorizing a script to download stuff you bought from a non-jinxxy site which requires you to hand out your information to their systems (an account) to simply gain access to the files you bought.
@KazeeAme No passwords are shared here. that is true, however from there you download a “individually created package” that essentially carries a small trace of whose it is. every one is unique so they can trace back who’s leaking assets in case that happens. (part 3)
@CatMay0@meaty_tw This was a lot of my thought process as well regarding access, however its not an exe, simply just a dll thats loaded into the unity editor to handle it. More akin to anti-piracy than DRM after some clarification from the creators.
@ItsLunarArray@Vivi_Fae@meaty_tw Love the look of the avatar, but the DRM is downright creepy and anti-consumer. Sadly not gonna be using this until its removed.
