Allow monetized games to be downloaded/unprotected

[RedEagle_P1. 905]

We would like to create a lot of helpful assets which people can download and enjoy for ylands. However we do always appreciate donations and include a donation system in all our games. These donation systems are not microtransactions and therefore are not mandatory for people to consume to enjoy the game. We would like to include these donations and still allow people to download our maps and edit them as they wish even if they give themselves any donation benefits. Right now we believe donations and not microtransactions are the key to developing a great Community but the rigid system now in place does not allow for this more-friendly approach to monitization.

Hi Red,

this wouldn't work. The monetization can work only when it is running in a secure environment - in other word on dedicated servers provided by us (or our potential partners).

There is no way how we can safely let monetization work in scenarios that players run locally on their computers.
