e1000 doesn't do interviews. Doesn't share his creations on a site or blog or GitHub, just occasionally on Discord or (more rarely these days) Reddit.
He only did this because we had friends in common like Gamma (GAMMAOS) and klops (PortMaster), bmdhacks (ex-PS2 dev and PortMaster genius) and so on saying I'm trustworthy to share his story.
Most of what we chatted about in the article weren't known before now. Among his friends, he is known for not going for the spotlight.
After getting to know e1K, and chatting to him for a few weeks I feel pretty confident in my own word choices. I'd prefer it if I wasn't judged for it on the merits of others using that same word, but I guess there's nothing I can do about that. Knowing e1K and becoming friends with him, and being the one who literally interviewed him about his life and work? Yes. I'd say he is quiet about his mods.
Ah, I apologize. Thanks for the clarification. That paragraph seemed contradictory to the headline but I didn't know the whole story.
I'm just sick of "big company quietly does x" when it's just normal things they do and decided to voice my complaint on this post.
