Prevent Saving
In the "upload to scratch.mit.edu" box there could be an option to prevent others from saving your project onto their computers. This will stop people from learning things like "Pressing Q gives you 100 coins" by looking at your project's scripts.

Hmmm, that's not the best way to make a counter argument - it doesn't explain why you think the idea should be re-considered, or suggest another way to think about it.

It's true that this would prevent others from finding hidden features in a project. However, we make every project on the website downloadable, because seeing how something works is a great way to learn about it and programming in general. So we feel that allowing downloading and remixing is really important - so that's why we haven't added an option to prevent downloading.
