Same here, I actually do appreciate the game, and everything the developers have done for us.

Also having a bit of stuttering on my laptop. But in my case, its probably the large animal farm, and a rather large waterwheel setup with 3xspeed gear setup (that only runs when I actually need it). Away from my home, it is relatively smooth.

Same here. A huge thank you from me to the devs, and moderators of the game. They did an amazing job.

It should have been posted to the forum as well. I agree.

I for one do not blame the devs of VS for what had happened. Could it have been handled better? Yes. What everyone is forgetting is this is not an AAA company and cannot be held to the same standard. I'm literally seeing worse stuff coming from Sony, and Nintendo and all the other AAA companies that is a lot worse. I am holding Maltiez responsible for what happened however. He did damage to his reputation, that of his mods, and by association that of VS devs (known, or not doesn't matter). It should never have been attached to foundation mods, that's on him. But as far as I'm concerned, it's been dealt with. And I'm willing to let the matter rest now. I'll keep playing Vintage Story, will keep recommending it, and will get the supporter add-on as soon as I can. Something like this was bound to happen sooner or later, so consider this a learning moment.

good point

I agree. Before this topic gets locked like the rest.

Emphasis would then be on advice. Not that he is a part of the vs team itself. But because of what happened, any existing code he contributed will be checked again, and all future contributions will be picked with a fine tooth comb.

That horse has bolted allready, mod was forked as of today.

It has blown out of proportion. Lets hope things settle down now.

Or like their mass ban hammer purge of a lot of users for the "crime" of wrong think. Lots of people never got their accounts back after it was stolen and deleted by Discord T&S. Announcements need to be on the forum, where they belong. And I agree, this whole situation could have been handled better, instead of just banning people off the vs discord, and sweeping the matter under the rug.

I'm going to continue playing Vintage Story. I still trust the devs, and will wait for proper feedback. As far as Maltiez and his mods, I removed them from my modlist, and will not be installing them again. Mods that rely on config lib and imgui unfortunately had to be removed as well, due to their dependency on config lib and imgui.

What I said was to let the topic rest, and let the devs get their side in. If they fail to address the matter, then that itself is a response (a lack of a response in itself is a response). So from my side, i'm going to adopt a wait and see stance. And let the story unfold itself.

For the time being, and until we get an official response, how about we let this topic rest. Yes the damage was done, but now we need to wait for the devs to get their side in.

@Mrozak is correct in this instance. We cannot ask that maltiez be fired. But what he did with some of his mods (the fact that he removed the code doesnt change what happened) cannot be ignored either. And cannot be allowed to happen again, especially since he is on the dev team, and is held on a higher standard.
