I didn't preorder TBL, I don't know Phil, Barry or Jaap in person.

From my objective point of view.

I can 100% understand, why Phil has taken those actions from what I read.

But being faced with these "facts", I would not write a single line in this forum without having in depth legal advice by an expert, if I was Barry or Jaap. Maybe that is why we havn't heard anything of them right now. We are not only speaking of refunds but also about massive! licencing issues, which can outnumber the refund liabilities by far.

Seeing the team setup of DP...
