What is EA's official stance on what is going on with TT here? Have they provided you with the source code to Renegade? Are the fixes that you are attempting to push to the community a result of reverse engineering?
Is EA willing to overlook the original EULA and push out a patch that breaks it?

Well, it's one thing to look the other way when something is happening, it's completely different to actually put in to place the necessary items.
From what I gather, it will actually require EA's blessing to make this happen, possibly the update URL embedded in the game is still controlled by EA, and the only way to force it is for them to redirect.
Is it going to take a concious effort by an EA employee, and are they willing to push out a patch to all users, across their system that was completed through reverse engineering of their own software? That's all I'm asking.. I would actually like to see a response from whomever this EA person is who they have been chatting with.
Because in all honesty, if this is something that we are being "led" to believe requires EA's blessing, and really just requires some more reverse engineering on TT's part to push it out through xwis, then I would think a whole nother load of shit should be hitting the fan before that actually happens.
That's all I'm saying..
It would be quite interesting to see an "official" EA member who has been tasked with overseeing what's left of our game, tell us that he's all for this.... Cause as I see it, I should get to ask him a few questions myself, not just have them relayed to him by TT.

EA still control the update servers for Renegade and will need to approve anything that gets pushed.

And by approve, I doubt they will get someone to install renegade and install the patch to test it out. Im guessing more of a "are you sure?" "Yes.", and its changed (+- a few questions from them to the TT team).

There's no reason to assume this.
