Popcorn Time appears to have lost many of its key developers following rumors of an impending lawsuit from Hollywood and internal controls for the money she has won team.
According to reports coming from Popcorn Time offices through TorrentFreak, the development team has been divided into two camps during a recent weekend council. One group supports developers Wally and phnz, and the other one is KsaRedFx.
The KsaRedFx team eventually lost and had to leave the Popcorn Time Slack channel and account of GitHub. Many other developers of Popcorn Time (less important), were forced to leave in the same way.
The controversy began after unconfirmed rumors about an upcoming trial being prepared by Hollywood.
KsaRedFx wanted to remove the VPN service, mainly because it was a commercialized tool that did not have a place on Popcorn Time.
On the other hand, the Wally and Phnz group listened to these talks, they felt betrayed, so the conflict escalated, and led to the exclusion of KsaRedFx and other developers from the central development team.
Let's mention the service VPN.ht was founded by Wally and phnz. The latter indeed he also announced his resignation by Popcorn Time Project.
