Wesp has been reverse-engineering the True Patch for the past five years, Schu. We have noticed multiple examples of repairs which were first introduced within the
True Patch (and/or one of its hotfixes) showing up in Wesp's "UP" shortly thereafter.
Wesp simply juggles the numbers around a bit, in order to mask the theft.
But yes... Wesp has definitely been stealing from us. I can't prove it in a court of law,
but I am quite certain of it, regardless. There have been far too many "coincidences."
Incidentally...In the past, Wesp has been confronted several times regarding the fact that the TPG
package is significantly larger than any version of his "UP" package. I have explained
to everyone the reason for this: it is because the TPG contains more LEGITIMATE
bug fixes than
any version of Wesp's so-called "patch."
Wesp, on the other hand, has danced around this issue... by making all manner of
deceptive excuses. For example, Wesp has claimed that the TPG was compressed
using minimal compression -- hence its larger file size. This is in fact not so. The TPG
package was compressed using the MAXIMUM compression level available using the
popular WinRAR file compression software. And of course, every single file was run
through WinRAR's file verification process, in order to ensure that the contents of
the TPG archive were exact and complete.
Some time later, Wesp tried another ploy. He suggested that the reason for the
large difference between his "patch" and ours was due to the extra mods and
other materials which are bundled into the TPG package. Well Wesp... that is
also a fat load of bullshit on your part, dude. But rather than waste any more
words on Wesp and his idiocy, why don't I just show all of you a nice little
screenshot instead:
The actual True Patch itself is located within a sub-folder of the TPG package
named "TRUE_PATCH_MAIN." What you see in the above screenshot is the
total size of ONLY that folder. ONLY of the actual True Patch itself. No frills,
no extras, none of the optional mods... JUST THE TRUE PATCH ITSELF.
And as you can see, I have not been deceiving anyone about its size. The TPG
is a fully-comprehensive bug-fix-only patch and as such, it contains quite a large
number of LEGITIMATE repairs which Wesp's "patch" clearly lacks.
So as we keep telling everyone: if your goal is to simply patch the actual bugs
in VTMB and then enjoy a bug-free playing experience, then the TPG is without
a doubt your very best choice. The numbers do not lie... although Wesp and his
goons certainly -do- lie and they have been doing so for the past six years.
We have facts and actual numbers. Wesp has lies and deceptive rhetoric.
Just do the math.
