I don't know all the politics behind the scenes at Mame. But for someone like HAZE who's been doing it along time & saying I don't want him to leave, I would say the same about any of the Mame team leaving not just him, I just simply love all the things Mame team are doing in preserving & making playable all the arcade & console games. As for all us USERS were simply saying HAZE will be missed & as a thank you to what he has done for us USERS as at the end it was his free time he was contributing 10 years plus!
