Ah, winget. Another proof that Microsoft never stopped being abusive as fuck.

Inviting over open source developers under false pretenses, milking them for all the knowledge of their projects and then proceeding to ghost them for months before releasing a complete ripoff of the original open source project.

At least they wont suffer a culture clash from the Activision acquisition.
