Sorry it's been all day without any words from me on the situation but I've been occupied all day since shortly after I woke up to this news and discussed a plan of action with Delta. He and the rest of the UGX Staff have handled this very nicely in my absence and it is very appreciated.
TL;DR of my response:
Mikey was the first one to make any threats to us. We have not made any threats in return. He first threatened legal action, then threatened a database leak. Our only response we we no longer wanted any of his "copyrighted" designs in our program and would not sign any contract with him, and if he brought legal action against us we would do the same to him. This clearly pissed him off and he threw a little fit earlier posting pictures of the (currently) private UGX Launcher design update as well as the supposed database leak he has.
Full response:
Haha, This is amazing to see. By the way thats not my name. Nice try though? I don't know. I do not give out my name. Well I will have to give it you. You got the first name correct. My name is Michael.
Sorry we didn't get your name spelled correctly, we must have been too concerned with you leaking the personal data of nearly 200,000 people for absolutely no reason to make sure your first name was spelled in the correct form.
Right so lets get this clear. I was scaring you. I took some lines from the db and then got that shit off my system. I am not stupid enough to handle a file like that. I then continued to put it in the middle of a large spaced out document and sent you a screenshot. This was a scare tactic. I am not stupid I did not take anything and nor do I have anything to leak.
So you're not stupid enough to rip and store our dataabse but you're stupid enough to threaten that you did in order to get your own way. Oh that's SUPER smart (/sarcasm). We have zero proof that you did not rip or store the entire database, or that you deleted whatever you did take. Why would we trust your word on that now? We don't trust you at all anymore.
This is where they became children by saying that I have been threatening them with legal action where in reality I just stated what I would do if my work was to be continued / copied.
Nothing about our response to you has been childish. We respond to threats with appropriate action. Using scare tactics is childish.
They then become extremely defensive and I had to stop. I left them with a simple agreement to agree to. They where given the choose to have my designs, concepts and all the work I have done for them excluding the source files and all they would need to agree to is to keep me in the credits for the designs while they where using my designs. Seems pretty fair to me. Right?. Delta spouted a load of crap about how he wanted to take legal action and how they would try to tie me to an agreement that I was never given.
You did not leave us with a simple agreement, you left us with a fake ultimatum. Either we sign an agreement with you to keep the designs or we discard your designs. We chose to disgard your designs and start over, which apparently caused you to go ape shit and make all kinds of threats to our community and our team.
So I scared them. I was bored of the shit. I was board of delta and I wanted 5 minutes of them shitting them selves. So I faked having a db. Seems fair enough right? You be a cunt to me and I will get my own back?
This is pure gold. You accuse us of being childish dicks and them plainly admit that for 5 minutes of entertainment you threaten 200,000 people. That's TOTALLY not childish!
Good riddance, should have gone with my gut and never brought you onboard to the UGX Team.
