You don't need to contribute anecdotal evidence that Shubla's client is spy-ware. A dozen different trustworthy devs in the community have read his code and confirmed it. He tried to hide it, but it's unarguably and plain to see.
I would never trust Shubla (anybody) with that kind of thing, but even if you do (why???) it sets a horrible precedent that you can put a bunch of trackers in your public client, lie about/not disclose them, abuse your live map of the exact locations of most players or whatever other feature that completely ruins the integrity of the game, and nothing bad will happen even if by your incompetence it somehow gets found. Like, the devs will continue letting you publicly distribute your client on their platform knowing full well it's malicious spy-ware. It baffles me to my core.
It's only a matter of time before something catastrophic happens if it hasn't been ongoing already. I feel like most people won't grasp how dumb this actually is. If you have a friend in software dev and you tell them about this shit they probably will assume you're lying/misinformed because it's stupid to the point of being more over the top than parody. Genuinely retarded.
