What if, as a very high number do, the server uses something like a proprietary SQL database?

- mschuster91 5mo agoSo what, dedicated hackers will find a way around that. There's bigger fish to fry.
- maccard 5mo agoDedicated hackers already find a way around limitations. By that logic there’s no reason to do any of this.
- Capricorn2481 5mo agoAfter years of plugging away at it, sure. We can't rely on years of free labor from the community to make the games we bought work. Even if they had to substitute some proprietary libraries, it would be a much better starting point.
- maccard 5mo agoOh I agree - I don’t think saying hackers will find a way is a good solution at all!
- db48x 4mo agoYou only need that fancy database when you have lots of users. When you release a server binary that anyone can run it doesn’t need to support quite so many. Have a compile–time flag that excludes the fancy database when set, and have it fall back to something simpler like SQLite or Postgres or whatever you want.
