....not likely haha!

edit: okay, I've read the article now and the whole thing sounds pretty shady, yeah. I think what they really need to take away from this is that they should tell the truth when someone calls them out, and not just lie. Because then... you'll get called out twice. Seriously, I can feel a PR carcrash coming on if they just keep telling lies (in broken english).




Hostgator is such a shitty hosting company. Would not recommend.


Tell the truth? What are they going to say, "Yes, we purposefully cloned this game."? Lying about it certainly isn't helping, but I don't think being truthful here would be help them.


Actually, if they owned up, explained how they would do things differently in future, and then followed through on that, I might be prepared to be a customer of theirs again in future.


If anybody wants a secret cabal of skilled veteran sysadmins, you can do worse than former HG employees.
