Alright. I'll start up by describing the situation for anyone who either has no idea what's going on or is too busy celebrating on the half-riddled, barely on life support corpse of Vitamin in a short tl;dr
A dev was betrayed by someone he trusted who leaked the copy. Both (known to me) developers are upset about this leak.
Anyway, the Vita is probably has some of the most passionate developers I've seen for a scene. With the, what it feels like handful of developers we have, you have accomplished so very much on the Vita for us end-users. I'd like to begin by saying we really appreciate it. We're all here for the same reason. To support the Vita more than it was intended by Sony, and to make it do more than it was intended to by default in order to enjoy our experience more. You have enabled that. Thank you.
Now, the rest of the post. Well. I don't want to put words in anyone's mouth, and I understand how it feels to have something you've worked extremely hard stripped from you -- and then everyone around you speaking to you about it, asking questions that are really disrespectful -- I know it seems like no one respects the work you've done probably -- Flow, Tom. That however, can not be more than false -- a lot of us really respect you. We're sorry you both got betrayed by a friend. It hurts to see that happen to people in general.
I just hope you can both see that you were mutually betrayed by the same person, whoever it was that leaked it.
I don't want to be selfish and say you should re-unite for the scene, or you should at least continue working on your own when you don't want to work for the scene. I just wanted to give my appreciation.
In saying that, I am willing to put up an escrow and put in a sum of $100+ monthly as incentive to continue to develop for the scene. I'm also sure other people would probably pitch in. I don't know if the money helps you reconsider quitting. If it's life that's causing you to quit, then go on -- you deserve the break. If it's drama, then I hope we can look past this in the future to work together to mutually benefit the scene and I truly hope the money can somehow give incentive -- to see that you're appreciated, and that there's some passionate people out there -- and that your work won't go unrewarded.
This may not change anything, but no harm in trying.
Thanks for reading.
