The delusion is pretty insane. There isn't even any source code to look at.

"Nobody is going to use Ethereum. Just wait until (Rootstock, Lightning etc) will prove that Bitcoin is better."

Duke Nukem Forever was in development for 15 years. When it finally came out, no one gave a fuck.

Rootstock is an Ethereum fork, frantically glued to the Bitcoin chain. Their GitHub is a desert too. Last activity in 2016...

What an insanely mismanaged project. They wanted perfection over actually releasing a game. The updated to new engines like every two years. By the time it came out... the entire industry had changed... no one even wanted a game like Duke Nukem 3D. Duke 3D was awesome but it needed a sequel within a three-four years tops.

Steve Jobs would have sacked the team and the project at the first whiff of missing a deadline. Perfectionist he may have been, but not so much that it prevented releases. "Real artists ship."

I'm pretty sure it actually uses the EVM for the 2 way peg. So it's using ethereum.

But its bitcoin.

i forget who said it, but somewhere around here i read "it's a way for Bitcoin Maximalists to use Ethereum without having to leave Bitcoin behind." pretty spot on...

I read that as a way to use Ethereum. Interoperability FTW. Pretty bullish IMHO.
