We already knew about it, it snowballed into this.
That's really enough Morpherex; It really doesn't matter how much Orochimaru12 knows about hacks/cracks/worms/whatever, it was his opinion. If it's wrong or right, whatever. If you feel happy with yourself playing a leaked copy with whatever ports closed, that's nice, doesn't really bother us.
What's done is done. Whatever chances you decide to take downloading the leaked copy is up to you. It comes down to are you really satisfied with a incomplete copy? That's almost like saying the HL2 leak was playable, and people no longer wanted the complete game. We're not going to let this stop us; we're still going to actively develop ESF and complete it. The minions can continue their games; apparently they find pleasure out of thinking they're above and beyond other people on the internet.
As posted on the
main site a few seconds ago, ESF is going open beta. This means that we're going to be drastically changing ESF's internal structure, and will be interacting with the community a lot more. If you want to support the minions cause/mod/etc, go for it. Just don't post, or chat in our rooms. If you still want to support us, we greatly appreciate it, and look forward to working with you in he near future.
