7z SFX is suspicious.

I'm rather suspicious of this being 7z SFX. I know that isn't a guarantee of a virus, but it's a very easy way to hide a virus, because the compressed contents of a self-extracted file can't be scanned, unlike with non-self-extracting compression. Is there a reason you chose self-extracting compression?

💖Thank you for your feedback and concern. 💖
We understand your apprehension. The decision to use self-extracting compression was aimed at providing an easy installation process for our users. However, we acknowledge that this method can raise suspicion due to its association with potential security risks.

As we strive to prioritize the safety and peace of mind of our players, we're actively exploring alternative compression methods. In fact, we're planning to transition to a traditional manual extraction system in our next update. This change will ensure transparency and alleviate any concerns regarding the safety of our installation process.

Rest assured, we're committed to continuously enhancing our security measures and providing a trustworthy gaming experience for our community.
