No it is not fake, the price is very solid and has been very stable. Those chat logs are actually really reassuring, there is nothing but good things about Evan's competence and integrity there I really don't know what you are talking about. It seems like you are trying to spin something positive into a bad thing.
You found out because Evan decided to do a public statement about InternetApe no longer being involved with the project, that shows transparency. It is the same thing as when companies let go of an important employee. In this case I think Kyle was a little distressed but in the end he was cool.
We humans love drama, in this case I must say my dramatic side was dissapointed there wasnt anything special there, if anything I think Evan made the right decision, we move on.
