i mean, you just admitted you were ripping skins... thats harming the creators for this game. There is a reason they scram their shit, because they either want to charge for their work, or payed for the content in their saf and dont want others using it. extracting safs (thats what ripping is) is pretty scummy. and a big reason why many creators have left or have started to charge. so from now on, id just advise you to delete that saf extractor and help out the community and help lower the amount of shit people in this community.

SAF is an archive format, like a folder system, and is meant for organization. If someone actually wants to protect their files, they will scram them. You are totally fine.

agreed, everyones trying to roast this guy because he didnt know and instantly was apologizing. If he was using ripped skins for team skins or editing and releasing as his own then thats a problem. If you saf a skin and someone rips it for personal use and never posts it anywhere there's no harm done.
