I was a very personal friend of Tec, and unfortunately I have to tell you all that Mud's post is correct.
All one has to do to verify that fact is to check his other medias with the same nickname, they all stop at the same time, including steam, where he was active daily buying and selling games.
Unfortunately our friend died too young from what is believed to be a fulminant stroke or , he was recently making several adjustments to his live so he could be healthier, but unfortunately that wasn't enough.
I am surprised by the extremely bad atittude from the community to someone giving news that are indeed true from a very personal person, you guys should be ashamed of yourselves.
Tec was my friend, and I miss him.
