What is Rijin?
Rijin(dot)Solutions is a popular p2c (pay-2-cheat) service that is notable for it's high quality products for Team Fortress 2, (formerly) Rust, and (formerly) Overwatch 2. It has maintained a high status among users for having one of the most advanced HVH and projectile aimbot features in TF2.

What Happened?
on the 26th of this month, DurRud, one of the lead developers for the service, made an announcement regarding what had been currently happening on the inside of the company; stating that the owner, Senator, "has not been active at all in any form of development, support, or community management this year" (Rud).

Then today at 5:13pm, Rud would make a post on the #announcements page on the official Rijin Discord saying, "Rijin is over… I disabled the store cause senator would've kept accepting payments cause exit scam" (Rud). Two hours later, Rud would make an announcement on the official Rijin website informing users of his resignation from the company; due to differences in professionalism and teamwork, along with Senator refusing to make payments to him in the last few months or weeks he had been working at the company.

What's next?
The future is very bleak for the products foreseeable future. Rud has stated that users who already own the product(s) can still access them, but may not be able to in the future due to possible future game updates that may break their functionality- as no one will be working on updating them. There is very much a chance that after this mishap, Senator might pick back up production, as with its popularity, it's a very good source of passive income; but as it remain the future of Rijin remains unknown.

"Hello,

EDIT: there is no "Exit scam" or "exit" that rijin will undertake, If @DurRud has decided to leave, services will run as usual.

TLDR: RijiN will operate as usual.

RijiN began in 2016 as a small hobby project centered around Rust and Escape from Tarkov. In the early years, activity was limited, with only a small customer base for EAC/BE titles I was building for. Version 1 was released in 2020, and on January 1, 2022, Version 2, the current platform, was launched publicly.

I have been programming and reverse engineering software since the age of 12 and, now at 24, this has been a long-standing passion. Over that time, I have invested thousands of hours into building and maintaining RijiN alongside others, and my contributions have been extensive across nearly every aspect of the project.

I fully understand and respect @DurRud’s frustrations, and I agree with many of his points. That said, it is important to recognize the scale of my own contributions, just as his are recognized. The backend, website, deployment systems, loader, security/DRM, billing, rendering, networking, authentication, and a wide range of TF2 backend systems were developed primarily by myself. While @DurRud has brought exceptional creativity and strong programming skill, it is only fair that my work is also acknowledged in equal measure. Unfortunately, @DurRud has a history of undermining the work I have put into RijiN. The reality is that the framework and backend systems I built form the foundation that everything else runs on, and in many respects, my contributions equal and at times outweigh his. It is equal effort, and I do not appreciate that effort being diminished or overlooked.

Regarding payment concerns: there was a discrepancy during May and June’s payments, which was under discussion at the time. I also acknowledge that last month’s payment was delayed. This was the first time such a delay has occurred. Unlike @DurRud, I will not go into further detail in public on these points, as they are not matters of public interest.

At this stage, RijiN is a mature project and no longer requires the same level of development it once did. I have consistently made clear that it should not be treated as the sole source of income for anyone involved, myself included.

Finally, I will not be removing @DurRud’s accounts. He remains entitled to access, and the decision on how he wishes to proceed lies entirely with him.

Despite the current disagreements, I want to emphasize that I value the time and work @DurRud has contributed. His creativity and unique approach have helped shape RijiN into what it is today, and that deserves recognition.

Thank you."

Just saw that too from the forums when I woke up, I’m assuming the actual servers for the cheat are back up?
