Holy shit this dev is quite something.
Took a look at the code to check for a simple bypass like I did the last time, but oh boy.
Now it is connected to an API that checks your subscription status. While doing this it collects a bunch of information about your machine and creates a hash out of it which is also sent to the API and, presumably, gets saved to later check to make sure you don't share your account. The API then responds back with your subscription tier and some data which is downloaded to your game, referred to as "script".
This could be a simple string of characters or some code that actual does something, but that doesn't really matter. It likely changes with each update as the game also does a bunch of version checks and makes sure to remove "premium" tags from your save whenever the version differs from when you last played.
If I had a subscription I could check with kind of response the API actually sends and if the data is anything actually needed. Or I could spend hours digging through the code and testing things. But... fuck no.
This dev is like the AVN version of anti-right to repair companies. I understand wanting to get paid for your creation, but this is not the way.
TLDR;
Dev is a massive piece of shit who doesn't deserve any money
