Frankly MTA's increasing popularity is only going to work against it - it has always been the lesser of the two mods but if it does ever get bigger then I wouldn't be surprised if R* take more notice to what they're doing.

Plus, look at what MTA has become - it doesn't even LOOK like GTA any more!

There's actually more to it than even what I've said here, but I can't say more.
Alright, R* forbids reverse engineering of their client, but can't the samp-server be released as open-source?

I have a question for you too, why have you retired as a developer? I'd like too see you working with Kye.
