Dr PinkCake is one of the few developers that are actually worth subscribing too, with consistent updates and good content, but come on, thats just sad...

No game developer, even those the size of Blizzard, have the resources to compete with unpaid droves who take things apart because of personal interest or curiosity.
BaDik has reached that level of popularity. Welcome to the microscope DPC...
