And they does not care about the scummvm users and does not care about the mission of the scummvm, but only for their egoes. All moaning about stability and support (of dreamweb engine) are now looked like BS to me. The main work in the engine had been done (after I'd lost my motivation, because of stupid drama here) by the new guy and he prove it.
Yes, there IS a problem with how it was added. It's not enough that
one just gets to the destination, the journey counts too. In this
case, we expect *clean* code in our engines and not just some quick
asm->C++ conversion. That's not coding, that's an excuse. It was
expected that when the engine was added that it would be cleaned up;
something that you didn't do.

And, tbh, you have no right to complain about the drama. You're the
cause of it because you didn't want anyone to say anything about the
sloppiness of the code.

I am very grateful to Bertrand for trying to make an engine out of a
total mess, something which you and your giant ego were too big to
tackle.

Yes, code cleanliness is some "nerdy reason" that we just pulled out
of "thin air".
