Encrypting save games Why? Because the world today is not the world of yesterday. A capitalist oligarchy runs the world and forces us to consume in order to keep the gears of this rotten society on track. As such, the biggest market for video game consumption today is the mobile one. It is a market of poor souls forced to compulsively consume digital content in order to forget the misery of their everyday life, commute, or just any other brief free moment they have that they are not using to produce goods or services for the ruling class. These individuals need to keep focusing on their video games (because not doing so will fill them with tremendous existential angst), so they go as far as spending money on them to extend their experience, and their preferred way of doing so is through in-app purchases and virtual currency. But what if someone were to find a way to edit the saved games and assign the items and currency without effort? That would be terrible, because it would help players consume the content much faster, and therefore run out of it sooner than expected. If that happens, they will have nothing that prevents them from thinking, and the tremendous agony of realizing their own irrelevance would again take over their life. No, we definitely do not want that to happen, so let's see how to encrypt savegames and protect the world order.
Screencap of my monochrome top-down 2D physics spaceship game "Spatial Forces DX"'s character select screen. Several ships are shown flying around by themselves, while the player selects one at a time, which zooms the camera towards each as it moves, and pops up an info box with ability descriptions and stats.
Screenshot of a YouTube thumbnail, which contains a Twitter screenshot of a tweet by Notch, where he says "If people want Minecraft 2, then fine." with a 2 superimposed on an image of a Minecraft grass block. The title of the video is "Notch Confirms: Minecraft 2 IS Happening", and the channel name is "ibxtoycat".

Screenshot of body text from Wikipedia that says: "Nomic is a game created in 1982 by philosopher Peter Suber, the rules of which include mechanisms for changing those rules, usually beginning by way of democratic voting. The game demonstrates that in any system where rule changes are possible, a situation may arise in which the resulting laws are contradictory or insufficient to determine what is in fact legal."
