Code is obfuscated without making a clear indication of it being so. Terrible decision I believe and just a pain in the ass for users that need to fix a bug and don't have the means to unscramble it.
I unscrambled it rather quickly and thieves will do the same. So it is just hurting legit developers. Although I can use and edit the now unscrambled code I have decided to abandon these plugin developers and eat the $50 because this is the practice of thieves.
