The staff team at v3arcade.com will be supporting everyone, whether they're branding free users or not. Due to certain issues over the last couple of years, we are offering users that want a legal arcade the chance to do so - this could mean a small licensing fee for some games (not all), which is negotiated with the author(s).

The system at v3arcade does not act as a backdoor, and we do not have access to any file on your server. John will post clear information about this in his release thread.. You can opt out of game installation reports if you wish, although this may reduce the amount of games that are available to you.

So let the rumours be put down to rest once and for all..

Sorry, OK, this doesn't really wash very well. Call it what you want, but having to pay for better support and negotiating a fee from "non-branding" seems like just a whitewash for a paid hack.
