i gotta assume anyone defending this at this point only cares about being able to play his game regardless of whats going on. we have people handwaving the credit issue and people who clearly are invested in the game itself (like scramble)

i gave it the benefit of the doubt, but after i saw that his discord is behind a paywall, and the download link for the game is in that discord, its pretty clear now that he is monetizing other peoples work.

this could be solved simply by him making the build in his discord publicly available (none of this "everyone already has it" thing, it needs to be clearly available) and he needs to include a readme file listing every person he took work from- not just hide the credit away in character def files. if he has the good sense and civility to do this (not challenge people to discord debates over something that should be this simple) then he gets the credibility he wants.

I notice both sides are missing important information for everyone reading this topic so,

Here's something that must be stated:

To those who accuse Rei of *selling* others' work - I admit, I have been blindsighted by this statement as this does come off looking shady, but given that JZ's first post shows that he only takes money to run his channel and fix equipment, as well as the fact that the download isn't paywalled so I am unsure of how the content is being monetized,  when one can access without paying Rei directly, thus despite the perceived shadiness, I still think this act falls under donations.

Secondly, I must over stand that I have no loyalty to any party, I only state facts,  so being a member here for years,  reading forum posts and also a watcher of YT videos: I noticed in one of the videos, how Rei mentioned how he was racially discriminated and profiled by some guild members, (don't remember specific ones through it's been awhile, he did mention JZ's name,) but I would like to know more about this.

You can have them not reset between rounds but not matches.

I haven’t tried survival mode though. They might carry over there.
