Hello Adam and thank you for quick response :-)

Well I don't like the situation either as this destroys core of my
work that I have created for years. I never suspected anything like
this from Open-Source (except the work is sponsored by competitor).
The alternative is not to use Blender anymore. And I have been using
it since 2000 :-(

Even Blender Development Team suggests using 2.79 to have BGE working.

UPBGE is not really mandatory as it is incompatible with BGE.

All dependencies have their own dedicated separate ports. I have been
using it for months now and it seems to be in align with other ports
with no conflicts.

But if this is a problem and risk I can understand and will stick to
build it on my own..

Best regards,
Tomek
