I guess it's pointless to tell Caliber he patched 'no reload' just for pistols/machine guns. Sniper weapons' clip still decreases. That's what happens when you don't play too much of the game or study the code, rushing to release 18101657583 trainers a day.. Patching 'sub' or 'dec' commands is so '90s. RET the function's prologue and be done with it. But who cares, it's about me again, right? There's one word no one will ever ever say about CH: quality.
Honestly, they should just 100% ignore any and all criticism of their work and focus only on selling their tripe to as many people as they can. It's a guilty conscience that makes them react to people like you, especially apparent now in light of your latest findings. They'd do well to learn a giant lesson and shut up. If they want a pat on the back for 100% of what they sell (regardless of how much of another person's/community's work any given trainer is comprised of), then they should rely on the ignorance of their community for that and let that fuel their egos.
Also, their business model is no different than any other type of establishment that relies on punctuality. And like many others, they've fought tooth and nail to defend their work and point out as often as they can when they feel someone is copying
them -- only to now be busted for doing that very thing themselves. Is anyone surprised? No. In the aftermath of something like this, what you tend to reflect on is what mental deficiencies those guys have over there that they would put the effort they have into
lying and
denying that they directly steal other people's work to profit from.
I guess when your conscience is that guilty (especially when you don't realize it), you go bat-shit crazy over it in the most counterintuitive of ways. The funny thing is that the silence won't last long. It'll be business as usual, except now, they're coming up with more clever/sneaky ways to obfuscate what they steal from others. And once they feel they have that worked out, you can bet on them talking a bunch of shit all over again, singing their own praises in attempt to patch their fragile egos in the face of sometimes valid criticism.
Business as usual. You're not the only ones who do this kind of shit, CH (whoever of you may be reading this). It's blatantly obvious what's going on.
And to be honest, I'm thinking really hard about personally contributing to the amplification of the scrutiny currently befalling you. It'd be great if you apologized for the bullshit (even if you just decide to do a better job at hiding it going forward), but I'm fairly confident THAT won't happen. However, should you decide to double-down on the denial, I'll be happy to shine a bright light on your entire business model including numerous examples of your asshole demeanor in response to not just profiting off the work of others, but also taking credit for it. Fucking douchbaggery at its finest right there, guys.
No, it won't stop you from making money going forward, but if it makes even ONE person think twice about what they're contributing to (especially in the face of free alternatives), then it will be worth it to me -- especially for the sake of everyone whose work you don't mind taking credit for (of which you guys have been SO vocal about in regards to your "work"). No one's asking you to be a goody two shoes here, because we all know what this niche is about. But do everyone (especially yourselves) a giant favor and just shut the fuck up with the "GUESS WHO'S FIRST, ALL YOU DIPSHITS!", etc.
Better yet, try making amends with everyone. Be inclusive of the works of the community. Establish a new branch on your business model that would reward the hard work of others. You're like the 1990s Microsoft of the game hacking world right now, but worse. Significantly more profitable businesses in shadier niches than this have fallen flat on their ass once exposed, so just keep going and see who all you piss off. Sounds like a fantastic idea.
