Welcome to the game development community! This is a place to talk about and post anything related to the field of game development.
Stuff like this isn't there to stop people with lots of resources. It's to stop people who are lazy, will see encryption and go, eh, I guess I'm not doing that after all.
It's the baseline, make it annoying enough that most people won't even bother wasting their time.
I bet you that the whole thing will be decrypted and sent to torrents during the first hour of the game's release just to teach its developer a lesson.
