Sears Buys Out CleanDoD...?

First time I posted this it was magically deleted...trying again the morning after my first post attempt.
See:
https://www.cleandod.com.br/forum/viewt ... f=14&t=602
Dear players,
CleanDoD will terminate all services with partial refund on valid licenses. All services will remain active until Sep 4th.
Thanks for using our services and we hope the gaming industry to invest in anti-cheating solutions.
Best Regards.
Andrade
CleanDoD founder
Interesting timing, isn't it? This has been an anti-cheat client for years, and weeks after DoD starts to use it, they just up and quit? Too much of a coincidence for me, personally. I went to the xmvc vent and saw tox and Sears talking in a channel, so I went to see if they had heard about this.
Now it's odd because when I brought up the topic they were being all weird about it, and Sears kept saying "let's just say I saw this coming a mile away," while laughing in a strange way. At first it just sounded like they thought it was a funny situation, but it seemed to be more than that. Since Sears was acting off about it, I just PMed tox...
alexkirk: Why is Sears acting so weird about this?
toxinatoR: not really supposed to say yet
toxinatoR: because it involves him
alexkirk: ...?
alexkirk: What does that even mean?
toxinatoR: it means he's the reason that ac is shutting down
alexkirk: Are you purposely trying to be cryptic?
toxinatoR: go look at his instagram
So checking Sears' instagram, he posted a photo of his PayPal where he is sending money to someone with a blurred out name. But if you look closely enough, you can make out some of the letters...
And then his Twitter...
So, I don't know exactly what the deal is, but it seems that Sears is sending the head of CleanDoD a lot of money on the day they say they are shutting down. I mean, it looks like Sears just purchased rights to CleanDoD or paid them to shut down or something. And as Sears has told me he's not made of money thus needing help to maintain this site, I feel like some of that could have come from the 1911 fund...
I don't know, bros. Shit is weird.
FUNNY HOW THIS GOT DELETED THE FIRST TIME, HUH?

Happy if he has bought clean dod and we will continue to use it, sad if he's just sending money for drugs/girls/midgets.

I have a feeling this is a joke on Sears part. Why would he buy CleanDOD? I don't see the purpose.

What if both esl and tpg use it now, and they offer ads like it has, but then FORCE you to get a license for 5-10 bucks. Would be a good way to recoup some of that money.
Really though, wouldnt that make you less worried about getting virused up the ass.

Sounds like trolling, I can't really see Alex giving a crap about this. If it isn't, I really could care less if we use CleanDoD or not and do not think it is justifiable to pay for the rights to own the software. I have played in TPG for a moons age and haven't come across many cheaters and if someone is, then AC will catch them at some point.
Also, if someone is using illegal binds like the crouch hopping, it doesn't ruin my one hour match per week.

The idea of a dod anti-cheat client is dumb too me.
I oppose big brother in the real world and I will do so as well in the "dod-world"
It's a waste of time. If you think I'm cheating dispute me and I'll give you demos ss and config.
Don't have me install some stupid client that's giving people a hassle.
Stop trying to make a dramatic change to a system that seemed to carry itself well through the years.
But if this becomes the Norm I'll sadly do it.

While there were many configuration changes found throughout the community, many impending bans and warnings will not be able to go into effect. That said, your game and your files are your responsibility and any changes found outside the rules will be reviewed accordingly.

Am I reading that wrong, or does the first sentence contradict the second?

Why would you ever send anyone $1000 for a game that's about 9+ years outdated?
This doesn't require a gif. It requires a reality check and a psychiatrist...

Perhaps an edit to "will continue to be reviewed " could be used, but the first sentence was a statement of there were 20 one week suspensions and 5 warnings for rating that were going to be announced yesterday (and still may happen) before the cleandod announcement.
The second sentence is that everyone should be aware of what they put into their config in relation to league rules going forward, and if we find that those configs are not following the rules the player will be suspended.

Yep. I'm not sure if this is true or if OP is just trolling (yawn). If it's true, I definitely feel a little creeped out

ilovealiceglass: no way he sent 2k to someone in brazil
ilovealiceglass: or 900 usd, but this sounds weird... if that picture were true, why wouldn't he take a screen shot of once it has been done and confirmed.
ilovealiceglass: sounds fishy!
alexkirk: Hey I'm just reporting what was told to me.
ilovealiceglass: so this isnt a troll thread
ilovealiceglass: this is legit
ilovealiceglass: ?
alexkirk: I mean, it's possible HE could be trolling...
ilovealiceglass: interesting

As frustrating as these retarded conspiracy theories are getting, you guys should know by now that I don't like to talk about these kind of things until I have all of the details worked out and can make some kind of official announcement.
So unfortunately, you're all going to have to wait.
Also, NEGGED.
