Well this is quite interesting actually I went through the 10 pages of the thread and it's quite funny... after a long time of abscence from the forums think it's time to post a little bit.
I do agree with Cookie and all the fuss is being made about the change, and the people defending/attacking Patchou, even if the software now is being handled by Yuna Software instead of Patchou, that doesn't mean Patchou is out of the game. What I care is at least Patchou still is in the development area of the software even if the guys in charge are others, a bad thing would be Patchou's left complete control and coding to another company which:
1) Wasn't created by him
2) Other guys that rewritted part or the whole code of the software.
Even if I fear the software could be mislead, it was Patchou's desicion and I respect it.
Now to answer the question I don't think he sold out.
Hi SonicSam, long time no see
