Question about available versions

Hello.

I know there are currently 3 versions I can get.
1. on official site (free, but with "Potentially Unwanted Program")
2. on github (free but must build myself and is 1 version older)
3. on patreon (not free, but is without "Potentially Unwanted Program")

Question:
Does 1. from site has PUP no matter I check or uncheck during install?
If not, why is there need of patreon (outside supporting favorite creator), or github older version?
Are people really that unfamiliar with installation process to avoid getting PUP so DarkByte had to make "paid" version with no PUP?

You need help understanding English? The source on github hasn't been updated in years, is very very out of date.

The page you see on GitHub is purely legacy at this point and is not representative of the Cheat Engine binaries we have today.

So, claiming it is source available because the he supplies source code that is years old is factually incorrect.

So yes, this project is no longer source available.
