I would like to respond to the recent attacks on Peerplays, Neil and myself, initiated by one Jacob Seeley.

I have nothing to say about him personally because I had no idea who he was until 2 days ago. He contacted me, Neil, Ed, and attempted to contact a few other members of our team over the past week, and then proceeded to craft a narrative of his own choosing, through the repeated use of deceitful and slanderous tactics. I have much patience for people, and I have the utmost respect for privacy, but I will not stand by while Jake engages in public attacks against me or my colleagues.

Neil and I have been in constant contact with each other for the entire duration of this “public” dispute. I can assure you that we are both working hard to amend this situation, and I believe that we are well on the path to finding an amicable solution that will be quite beneficial to the entire project. I would also like to state, for the record, that I have much respect for Neil and that I regret if any of my statements published by Jake Seeley have caused him harm. Taking things completely out of context is not the way towards resolution, and I am very disappointed that Jake would choose to be so callous in regard to personal privacy.

All of this said, I am grateful for the support and rational approach that just about everyone else has chosen to take in response to this attack, and it makes me quite proud to know that we have attracted such a clear headed community. Many thanks to all of you.
