Wow. I'm the bad guy now? I didn't "disappear" to anywhere. Piss and moan? That's how you see this? Everyone (literally, 2 people) were involved, Me and Aaron Giles. There is no excuse for this to have been leaked.

I explicitly told Aaron not to share the ROMs and I wanted to release these when I was ready. He fully agreed.

Then, He shared them with Phil and never bothering to contact me, nor did Phil. He claims he "lost" my email, but he didn't contact me here either. I mean, how do you lose an email? Also, he is a dev that worked at Microsoft. Not sure how that is even possible.

Then it gets released, and then taken out. Now it's back in. Like, how was this even possible?

I think you ("R"? these handles are confusing) reach out to me in email, and we went over all of this and also had an agreement about how I wanted to release these ROMs and you also were nice about it and agreed. I was unaware you weren't with the project anymore when I contacted you again, wondering what the hell was going on with DE again.

I never ever said it was ok to release DE in any shape or form.
