There's two ways to look at it.

1. They thought they were doing something cool and giving back to people for donating.

2. RED RED I SEE RED RED THEY ARE EVIL RED RED

I chose 1.

They showed me that they were good people, and definitly were not "absentee" they were working hard.

If anything it shows that $ and incentive > just doing it for the love of it (no new servers in like 6 years etc).

Lets argue about communism vs capitalism.

Also when are you guys gonna ask for this type of authority when it comes to violent offenders?

ok moving on.
I personally don't care that they made money using a dusty ass IP to make money, but the ripple effect does make pooping on them easier. I also don't try to whitewash it from profit to "providing value for donations" as thats a joke. They are following classic private server playbook of selling pay to win shops as "donations". It's always a profit thing but maybe I am just more indifferent to these type of servers because they make some truly impressive custom work.

Yeah

It's a shame they didn't approach it more conservatively and just pretend the agreement rog/nil got, was the same one they should follow.

But it's also a shame I didn't invest more in bitcoin or apple in 2008 so I can't fault them for making bad financial decisions that check out in hindsight.
