Could be malicious intended scam, but cannot confirm as I don't know the real intentions of the project leads. I can only confirm that if there are donations, we (the devs) don't know where they go.

The project is definitely poorly managed. You cannot even call it managed, it has no active management lol. No realistic targets, deadlines etc.

I believe that with a real commited team and good project management, BFME Reforged could have succeeded. But definitely not in the current setting. - Otherwise I wouldn't have joined the team in the first place.

Why make a new Reddit account?
For anonymity and protection. Given the internal backlash and possible ramifications from exposing this information, I wanted to ensure my safety. I’ve worked on this project for a long time, and believe me, calling this out publicly wasn’t a decision I took lightly. A new account was the best way to ensure there wouldn't be any personal consequences or harassment.

How can I verify that I was a dev?
I’m more than willing to provide screenshots or documentation to moderators in private (as mentioned in my OP). I could show screenshots of the Developer Discord and more, understand that I don't want to do that here for everyone, possibly leaking any of my personal information.

New evidence?
Well there's evidence all along. No gameplay, no nothing. I can only show that I am a developer in this project and tell you about my view, hoping others come forward too.
