Assassin's Creed titles have always been on my radar, so there's
at least 1 title you for which it didn't happen like you're storytelling here
If you're talking about others stealing from your tables, wait till you hear about the "new" Cheat Engine 7.6 and the updated Lua
encodeFunction().. Thieves' heaven. Caught 2 people by now who took my paid tables and made their own sold in private Discords. All using the new CE 7.6 (which has no backwards compatibility with 7.5 or 7.4). You need to struggle a bit to decode the compiled Lua encoded data, but you'll get satisfactory results. I warned DB people would use this to hide stolen content, but he was more worried about those reporting people are decoding their tables.. And if that wasn't enough, try running official CE 7.4 and open a cheat table. You'll be gracefully met with a message that a new version is out and CE will close down automatically
Lastly and based on the above and what you said, yes, it has become common practice these days for various unknown or random people to want to make money off our public work. They simply take a table, revamp it, add emojis and shit that appeals to the users in current Tik Tok era and sell it in private Discords. Unaware people therefore get scammed thinking they buy premium content

But then again, this has been going on since old days. Difference.. it hasn't happen to either of us.. till now T_T.. I had some random guy private message me asking about chams in Sniper Elite 3 and 4, while he showed me a picture of a table he "doesn't know where it came from" or he doesn't know who made it (obviously his table made for his Discord pleb) where everything is stolen from my public table:
[Link]. Compare it to this work of mine:
viewtopic.php?t=20264. Then when called out and unveiled, he started sending me threats that he's going to leak my table everywhere. And that's how RESPECT works these days: people buy your table and reuse it to make money themselves off your work.
So I get it.. if that's how it's gonna be for them from now on, then expect mutation/virtualization and VMProtect. I can too, you see

And I give a rat's ass that people dislike DRMs or encrypted content. I have the right to protect my shit.
P.S.: If you're wondering why I am not posting anything and bitching or whatever, here's why:
Will have a new PC ready in 1-2 weeks. No, there's no private table that
I have made for this game anywhere.
