Not gonna say "unexpected" or "very bad" on this. What he did, was right for him at that time
I said before to, EA is based on iL.Shadow's old script and also some things from TMA. He didn't got a 'private' level 9 for nothing on EA when it was official
EA's online stats, was also made by Shadow. ( About these two points, i'm not 100% but 500% sure as i saw some things which let me to know this ).
About this, i'm not shocked at all to know that why such a cool minded person took such a step as i know the real reason why he did this, what forced him to do this. Due to some issues, i won't be able to share them..
we (Castagna, NewK and I) found a motive after it was discovered that he had betrayed XA as a scripter several times.
Ah, do you people have ever thought that why everyone betray EA? did anyone even gave a minute to think why?
Why EA? because, i've been there and in my opinion, totally worth it..
