Statement Regarding Past Collaboration Issues Involving Marcin​

I want to share this account as a matter of transparency and caution for anyone considering professional collaboration with Marcin. Many people in the community are already familiar with these concerns, which is likely why his work has been largely limited to a small circle such as SoE.

Marcin has been banned from OTA, a fact known by a significant part of the community. Beyond that, he has a reputation for engaging in hostile and unprofessional behavior, including persistent disparagement of others behind closed doors. For several years, both he and a group associated with him have maintained an openly antagonistic stance toward me. While I have generally ignored this behavior, I believe it is important to document a specific professional incident that occurred roughly two years ago, involving myself, a client, and Marcin.

Background and Context​

Marcin was contracted to work on the Brutera project at a rate of $50 USD per hour that he requested. I was separately hired by the same client as a programmer at a rate of $10 USD per hour at my request. Prior to joining that team, I had no personal or professional history with him.

From the outset, Marcin demonstrated hostility toward my presence and toward work I had done, going so far as to criticize core TFS code that was part of the stack we were all using, and directing those complaints toward me personally. It was clear very early on that his objections were not technical disagreements in good faith, but rather personal in nature.

This resulted in repeated confrontations initiated by him, often framed in a deliberately provocative and degrading manner. The environment became increasingly difficult to work in, affecting both my ability to work effectively for the client and overall team cohesion.

Scope of Work and Compensation​

Over the course of the project:
  • I completed work totaling approximately €200.
  • Marcin billed the client approximately €1,400.
Despite this disparity, a significant portion of the disruption within the team stemmed from his conduct rather than from any technical shortcomings.

Outcome and Aftermath​

Ultimately, Marcin was removed from the project due to these issues. Following his removal, he retaliated by leaking material related to Brutera and TVP 7.7 in 2023.

Since then, he and individuals associated with him have repeatedly attempted to attack my reputation whenever possible. It is worth noting that he shares space with others who are also banned from OTA for confirmed fraudulent behavior (Such as Evil Mark, neptuno, etc...). This pattern speaks for itself.

Reason for Sharing This Now​

I am not sharing this to provoke drama, but to provide context and documentation for behavior that has been misrepresented or selectively discussed in the past. Those who have worked with Marcin directly will recognize these patterns. For others, this serves as a cautionary account when evaluating professional relationships and claims.

I have invested years into creating tools and projects that are widely used and successful within the community. The persistent hostility I receive from certain individuals appears to stem less from legitimate grievances and more from long-standing resentment.

I prefer to focus on productive work, but transparency matters, and this is the full context behind this situation.

You can open the picture and zoom in to see his chat and there you will see he basically scammed Cono.

TL;DR;
Be careful when working with this pathological narcissist, he puts on a mask that not many can see through.

It's obvious you are creating this thread from personal vendetta, after I declared I'll help for free with your broken engine.

Be careful with me? Be careful with a guy who writes whole paragraphs trying to manipulate you into his narrative.
I never publicly shared any of your stuff, and you are not going to prove it. Period.

If you are salty you get paid like a cashier, maybe stop getting stuck trying to copy unique pointers.

How’s brutera doing today btw?
You released Brutera's project to the public and deleted the messages to the people you sent it to, you're the worst and I'm glad you're gone from OTA, you destroyed Cono's dreams.

More like; how many of your clients are a success? Meanwhile I have over 5 successful servers with over 200+ players online EACH.

you're using this statement so often, must really prove you didnt scam anyone!

You made that up. I would never share publicly any of your work without a big warning around it.
I left OTA myself a couple of months ago because it's a scammers' den, so nothing you said really adds up.

I don’t go around talking about people the way your friend does. He has no issue bringing up my name repeatedly, including in his Polish Discord group. I don’t engage in that kind of behavior, I focus on my own work, building projects, and doing well without needing to insult or trash-talk others.

Fridai, stop trolling. It’s obvious you’re biased in Marcin’s favor, but that doesn’t change the facts that most people know. I hope you were told in OTA why he was banned, I saw you asking about it the other day 😁

You’re projecting an assumption that wasn’t part of the situation. I had no issue with different rate, my issue was with conduct, not compensation. Professional environments don’t fail because someone “negotiated better,” they fail because of behavior.

And this thread is what?

Good luck finding proof to back anything you said.
I will fix your messed-up engine in the meantime, making exactly 0$ in the process, just for fun.

Guys who is cheaper to work with @Ezzz or @M4rcin to make my TFS 1.5 works with aura and shader?
Go with Ezzz and who knows, he just might derail your project and blame it on someone who got paid better.
I don’t offer paid help for almost 3 years now.

Mhm. If someone works a job that pays $50 an hour im sure gonna tell the company AT MY OWN QUEST that I want $10 an hour.

Gee, I wonder why someone would be hostile towards you.
When almost everyone has a problem with you it may just be that you are the fucking issue.
  • I completed work totaling approximately €200.
  • Marcin billed the client approximately €1,400.
YOU JUST SAID YOU ASKED FOR A SALARY 5 TIMES LOWER THEN YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SALARY? XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD FUCKING END ME RIGHT NOW

Hypocrisy at its finest. The same guy who sold TVP and all those “99.9% accurate” packs for $1K each is now calling other people scammers over a consulting job which was always legal in OTland.

Anyone who actually bought TVP knows the truth. The engine was full of bugs, unstable, and nowhere near “accurate.” Most of it was guesswork marketed as professional reverse engineering because he knew his audience couldn’t verify his claims. Once the leaked/decompiled sources got released, people finally saw how inaccurate his work actually was in contrast with what was promised and thats besides the constant crashes he hasnt been able to solve with so many copies sold where so many of the copies ranging from 300 to 1k players had been actively reporting bugs to him.

And the support he provided? Every “fix” created more problems than it solved. Zero proper testing, zero accountability, just compile and move on. Years later the same issues still exist because each time you report something to him he finds a way to blame you and everyone else while he continues to act like the “real pack king” and labels everyone else a scammer for calling him out.

It’s become pretty obvious why these issues never got properly fixed. Once someone paid $1K for the pack, the bugs basically became part of the business model. Instead of fixing problems permanently, he’d wait for clients to report them through “support,” patch one thing, break three more, then act like his support service was amazing. If the support was actually good those fixes would’ve been committed properly and taken seriously when reported so that future buyers wouldn’t keep running into the exact same problems over and over again.

The reality is Ezzz could’ve actually built something respectable if he accepted criticism and cared about accuracy instead of his ego. But every bug report or valid criticism gets treated like a personal attack. The second the server compiles, he calls it finished, does little to no testing, then blames customers when things break. That’s why nothing ever improves and why his consulting/services aren’t worth trusting.

What makes it even more hypocritical is that he’s spent years dragging people from forums into Discords to sell the same “99.9% accurate” server over and over under different names, from Nostalrius to TVP. Somehow that last “0.1%” never arrives. Meanwhile, someone actually doing legitimate consulting work to fix the mess left behind gets attacked publicly by the very person who caused the issues in the first place.

At this point, most people already see through it. He probably expected everyone to blindly side with him, but after charging people $1K for what turned out to be a broken China copy, there are plenty of people with firsthand experience who know exactly how things really go when you deal with someone like Ezzz.
