Nothing about what they described seemed to support the claim that Godot, or even Godot's fundraising practices, is a scam. People respectfully point this out multiple times and the only response is basically "I already explained it to you. Prove me wrong." It's vexing to read.
And they go on to say that because of a limited scope demo they made, they know that the people working on Godot don't know what they're doing. Another bizarre claim, honestly.
There was a very open attitude to discussing the potential issues among the leadership as well as frank discussions about realistic alternatives in that thread. I wasn't familiar with this forum, but it seems like such a shame that it's been shut down due to what appears to be an just an angry admin who felt personally entitled to more from the Godot project.
Couldn't agree more, this only hurts the community members.
I only meant that even if their evidence and conclusion wasn't paper thin this course of action still doesn't make any sense. So for me their claims and actions are pretty much completely without merit. And there was already plenty of level headed pushback even in that thread.
Glad you brought up the demo, that was fucking bizarre. As if a proof of concept with no supporting details is all you need to completely understand the development and concerns of a massive codebase that is one of the most compatible, and most usable out there. Two qualities that tend to complicate things dev wise.
