Yeah, that was the biggest thing when it came up. PSP updated the world on a daily basis of everything his did back then on his TG blog. You don't go from 300K to killscreen, while keeping progress quiet for a few months after 300K. As soon as 500K was crossed, it would have been headlines everywhere, and so on. So, that's why I never bought it from the beginning. And it's an insult to all the players who've achieved the killscreen to play it off as that trivial and walk away from the game, especially by someone who is suppose to be highly regarded in the game industry - why would you do that to your credibility just for the sake of being part of a certain group of achievement? Those who know this game know that something happens to you when you get that killscreen, and you don't just walk away. It's like being knighted, and from then on you possess a desire to increase your game. That's my opinion on it.
