Adding some cities on the map, some harbour traffic and a couple of other changes and essentially re-releasing 99,9% of GWX, simply because he can, is morally and ethically wrong. And not a matter of taste, or adding new flavors or spices to GWX. In fact, Carotio, stated that he would make the UA version, even before the GWX release, revealing his intentions.

To cut the story short, the "UA" concept is a simple exploitation of other people´s work. And the cherry on top is the plastering of Carotio´s name in the intro screen.

Carotio, why exactly do you think the GWX Dev Team is angry just with you and no-one else that produced a mod for GWX? Simply because the other mods are for GWX and your mod is GWX itself.

I don´t know if you understand that what you are doing is wrong...

Well, the U (unchange part): is to return to some stock features or to other versions! The word unchange is perhaps not too well chosen, but if I named it otherwise, it wouldn't change, what I'm doing!
I do change things back to the original version such as map updates! Yes, I like to see the icons blue/red/green, GWX team does not! It's as simple as that!

On the other hand, I just can't let you accuse me for stealing GWX and publishing it as my own! With GW and GW-UA, I stated GW-UA should be enabled after GW1.0, thus users could clearly see the changes! If they like it, is it your choice, if they may use it or not?
Yes, I intend to apply most of the same changes again to fit my likings like map updates! So what if some users don't like it your way? Is that really so offensive to you? Well, sorry! I think you GWX team members have made a great job, but you have changed some stock features, which I preferred!

And again, I don't claim your mods to be my work, though you and a few others may think so! If I base my work on yours, well, then I feel sorry if that offends you! That's still not my intention! And no matter what I say, you just don't believe me! So obviously it's pointless for me to continue to argue....

But still:
Merry Christmas to you too!
