Stuff like this isn't there to stop people with lots of resources. It's to stop people who are lazy, will see encryption and go, eh, I guess I'm not doing that after all.

It's the baseline, make it annoying enough that most people won't even bother wasting their time.

I bet you that the whole thing will be decrypted and sent to torrents during the first hour of the game's release just to teach its developer a lesson.
