I'd love to respond. They were removed because too many people use old patches on newer versions of the game and they're *incompatible*. I stressed the incompatibility-fact in those posts but it was ignored. (A few F95 users, a few users on other forums. I get bugged by a lot of people that simply don't follow the post instructions or want me to hand-hold them, I get a lot of entitled types too demanding I adjust something or do something for them such as random games or software or ask me to jack a VPN or VPS. I've even been threatened by losers. Someone once even attempted to extort a game developer for Bitcoin claiming they'd release a zero-day crack (mine actually) if that author didn't pay up. The developer even contacted me and I decided to stop releasing for that one and so the extortionist resorted to insults via PM and threats on other forums. I'm tired of it, it's why I'm "officially" retired from taking requests or hovering the new updates to drop stuff. I usually get asked by a friend or associate (or find interest in simply a new DRM or altered DRM, something to occupy time/thought) and then drop a crack/patch/bug-fix/whatever and usually go quiet, but this thread...eh. Removing the older version and simply mentioning to use the newer patches found through the thread seemed informing and easiest in addressing future issues.)
PS. I read your post imagining Harleen Quinzel's voice, considering the 'mista' part. I'm a fan of her. Intended or not, thanks.
