I wasn’t planning to get involved in this, but with all the nonsense being thrown around, I feel it’s time to clear a few things up.
The source code you’re now calling “hot garbage” was the exact same base you used to get your project off the ground. You may have rewritten or refactored parts of it, and that’s totally fine — that’s how development works. But pretending you started from scratch is not only disingenuous, it’s disrespectful.
You paid for an early-stage, untested prototype. That was clearly stated up front. The deal was made, the code was delivered, and you used it. The fact that you later decided to discard or rewrite it doesn’t change the value it initially had — or that you chose to build upon it.
Yes, you paid for exclusive access to (and I quote literally from my ad) "an untested product, not ready to be hosted or be used in production". I did not come offering it to you, you sent someone to ask me for the price of an exclusive copy and I gave a price, and you were ok with it. I never agreed to work for you, and I want to be very clear about this: I DID NOT, NEVER EVER agree to work for (or with) you.
The one who broke the deal was you, when you did the shitty move of filin
g a claim on PayPal to get your money back (and ofc keep the server, because you were already using it to build your own engine). But you didn't account for your partner's own stupidity, did u? Because PayPal denied your claim without me having to provide any evidence whatsoever. You deliberately (and conviniently) ommit this part of the story. So let me be the one who set the record straight on this:
Even the most buyer-biased company in the world considers that u got what u paid for, and that I delivered what I got paid for.
So, if anything, the ones who tried to pull it off on me were yourselves, so fuck no I'm not keeping my part of the deal. "Don't come to collect when you haven't paid your own dues". Regardless if paypal approved or not your claim, you still tried to shit on me.
You also conviniently ommit that I contacted Ezzz and Flupi some time ago (after you claimed that I owed you), offering to fix the engine in exchange for information on the remaining bugs, but ya'll opted to block me. First of all, I don't owe you shit. And now you come to shit on my code, after having used it to build your own thing. You would still be trying to get POSIX signals to work properly. You people didn't even know of the existance of the "hidden" try/catch blocks until Ezzz spoke to me, asking why I was pthread_kill'ing instead of kill'ing like the 2005 LinuxThreads-based engine, for Christ's sake... asking GPT what the pseudocode was doing because you ppl were fucking clueless.
So here goes a cold hard fact: There's very, very few persons in this scene who know their way around cip files the way I do. I've dedicated half a decade of my life (quite literally) to studying them in every possible way, before AIs were even a thing. I've shared with some ppl here in otland more knowledge than the entirety of what you know about cipcode. I'm the one who taught Ezzz how to port the networking and Inter-Thread-Communication scheme to current Linux, and whatever small issue that could have arisen due to my clumsy, sleepy ass will never take away all the experience I gained. Think of the stuff you were reporting to me. Exana ina making the caster visible too? Fields getting stacked on top of each other?. Stuff that required (literally) changing a 0 to a 1 or fixing the condition of a for loop, lmfao.
In the end, every single issue that u reported to me has been taken care of, and my engine holds up beautifully.
I respect
@Ascendia and his project, even tho we've taken separate paths, so this is the one and last time I'll comment on his thread, and will not respond to any rubbish you decide, or not to, throw back on me.
