skill89 23 Posted May 5, 2013 Yeah, but it scary me, the launcher get often updated and nobody can stop those dev to include malicious code inside it.Removing the code is okay, but why did he banned the OP? Because he asked the wrong question? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Mouse 61 Posted May 5, 2013 The lead developers initial response was shocking - very immature. I was considering downloading the mod, but have since decided not to.Cheers for bringing this to my attention. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because he asked the wrong question?I doubt it. I'm always wary of Reddit bandwagons, once their tin hats are on there's no stopping them. Sounds like the dev may be a bit of a douche for answering like that but I highly doubt there's some conspiracy to steal peeps keys. He's explained himself in the forum post he made and I believe him, others won't but that's life. Edited May 5, 2013 by Fraggle 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rage VG 4033 Posted May 5, 2013 I think the only issue is that he withheld this information from other users. There's no justification for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
