Comment on Why can't code be uncompiled?
Hjalamanger@feddit.nu 5 months agoAlso if the code was run through an optimizer (which all modern games should be) the code is even harder to make sense of as it doesn’t necessarily have the same structure and the same variables as the original code

This is also very similar to if they ran the source code through an obfuscation tool. Some people do this with chrome extensions. Since they need to give you the source code for it to work on your machine they just change the variables to a, b, c, d and route things though unneeded functions so you don’t know why anything is happening.
