Pretty much, he duped his supporters by promising them that a rewrite of the code would take a a few months because apparently the code was so bad... I call bullshit but that is my opinion, make of it what you will. Then took years all the while raking in money from morons, only actually releasing something after the abandoned tag was set on his game, (what a funny
coinkydink, I am absolutely sure those two events are not related at all.)
Brace yourself from the inevitable counter arguments from his ass kissers. The devs asshole must be shining by now with the way some of his supporters here kiss his ass any chance they get. All in all the dev has it made. An army of retards to pay him an absurd ammount of money for him to do almost nothing, and another army of retards to deflect any and all valid criticism of him.
