You don't get it at all. Professional PC game normally requires you to go back to the main menu in order for you to quit. This is because the longer someone stays in-game, the better chance they will keep playing over any game with an instant close feature. Heaven forbid I made it three seconds longer to quit by that means. Besides, I'll say it again: If you wanna close it for any reason right away, press Alt-F4.
this is not only a fangame, but a minigame, to boot - we're not going for professional PC games when it comes to the latter, and only half as much when it comes to the former
with a retail PC game, people go to the main menu and quit because it's sometimes expected that their tools don't allow them to have such things with the OS, or the games are usually full screen, so it doesn't even need one (and some of us still get annoyed by having to go to the main menu to quit anyways - looking at you, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory)
we know the tools used here - they allow those minimize, maximize and close buttons, and we expect them, because there's no reason to get rid of them and it'll just piss us off

Over the course of my many years of using GM and creating games that have received downloads within the +100, 000, I have yet in be inquired by any means of a large enough percentage of players coming forth with technical issues. Those that have I've not been able to help sometimes since, as I said, GM simply doesn't work perfectly on every computer (just like any other PC application/game). For this reason, I continue to use the in-built sound system, as it works fine for the vast majority of the available audience.
have you tried using an extension or an alternate method?

What if you were wrong and that was all coincidence? I wouldn't know, though it did seem like it was a fan of mine (as if I keep track of every one of them), but if I had called forth for fans to vote for me, I think more then just one person would have come by to do so. Then again, the one vote right now wouldn't do much good for me, so as I said, I have no need to argue, though I'm not happy.
i wasn't wrong, and it wasn't coincidence, especially with not that many numbers
if you want to argue your sound engine point by saying "years of using GM," then i'll argue this point by saying i have "years of experience on this message board" - but that's a silly reason to argue this point, so i'll just let you know that it's somewhat protocol to not believe votes from people who join on the day, half an hour before they post a vote, and don't post anything else (in case you missed that part)
