At first I thought I was having a stroke, then I realized it was a key. If I may ask, why spell everything out instead of just posting a copy and paste able code? Only thing I could come up with was to prevent bots from scraping codes out of comments, but I think it would still be pretty easy to parse it into a regular game code.

It's probably not as bad here; But if you posted a game code on reddit without some kind of obfuscation, a bot would grab it in seconds. I was mostly just copying the person I was replying to.

Yeah, it's really just an old habit from Reddit. No idea if it's necessary here, but really, if someone wants a free game and can't be fussed to decode that, they probably don't want that free game too badly anyway.
