Well, some points. PAWN is great, yeah it's crap in terms of its limitations etc. But it's so fucking easy, lua is easy too but Mike is not considering it
(
Ahm Ahm*)
And welp, I am sure not even 20% of the playerbase will even consider moving to GTAV. Also samp is gone yes. But while this is a sad news, it's yet another opportunity for omp to take over and breath a new life into this game we all love, they released a launcher a few days ago (FYI
https://github.com/openmultiplayer/launcher/releases/) and they are working on a client now. open.mp server project kept getting updated, issues being fixed, new suggestions being added, and performance being enhanced so It's NOT DEAD.
Also an average of 60-80k players everyday, without a masterlist.
So I hope you get the point, this project will takeover and continue the legacy.
