I don't need to build a case. I've got far better things to spend my time on. Mote happened for a reason. The dots are easy to connect. And easier if you followed the last year or so of Lee's contributions and the long discussions about 1.4 and 2.0 and the feature lock and development slow down... leading up to Mote being a thing.Jagged wrote:You keep suggesting the core devs were providing resistance to Lee/Mote. I'm saying prove it. You won't be able to because they weren't.
But, like I said, I wasn't out to prove you wrong. Objectively, you entered this fray saying that the core people "supported" mote. Craig already admitted that they didn't. And that's fine he (they) had their reasons... and I wasn't questioning the reasons. I was stating *why* I think Mote failed and I stand by what I've said:
1) Lacked core support.
2) Poor Kickstarter turn out.
3) Didn't deliver on what it promised.
As for the "conspiracy" business you keep mentioning the only "conspiracy" with regard to all of this that I see was Lee's vanishing act. We've heard rumors of an accident, but it is/was all so hush-hush that it invites conspiratorial imagination. I mean, when you run a Kickstarter and then don't deliver on the, seemingly, passionate promises of your lead developer because he gets hurt, why hide the facts? Shoot, it makes more sense to start an IndieGoGo to raise money for their medical bills and get out the news instead of leaving people wondering.
