I've read through the thread (though I admit not every bit of it) and I'm very surprised to see nobody has been concerned about whether this executable does any funky things like ever connect to the Internet at any point, read any files off disk, etc? Has anyone monitored it (long enough) for any of those things?
Looks nice, but all of a sudden someone anonymous just deciding to help everyone by providing a closed source executable should normally raise just a healthy dose of suspicion.
You really did skim read it in that case. A shitton of people shared your concerns. In fact there were so many negative, sceptical reactions that OhGodACompany have chosen to make any future versions devfee rather than free. (Thanks for that, you know who you are)
I'd advise watching this interview with @OhGodAGirl
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLTRYp_kCYg and this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuBX2gEthVUMy TLDW; if the devs wanted to fuck you over why would they clearly identify themselves, openly interact with the community, and
invite security vetting? There would be much easier (and more rewarding) ways to completely destroy their professional reputations.
Thanks for those links. She seems cool. I read the first 3 pages of posts of this thread (no concerns expressed there) and skim-read the rest.
