It's all about visibility and ease of use for the lay person/Player. We have become a "point and click" civilization. As a Player and not a Modder, I agree that there are distinct advantages for Curseforge integration. Most of it is for people to notice VS more because the logo is added to other more popular logos. I wouldn't mind having VS on Twitch. I wouldn't mind launching VS from the Twitch launcher. I wouldn't mind having VS modpacks available through the Twitch launcher. I wouldn't mind having a list of mods available through Curseforge. It would all be much easier for me, as a Player, than the current system. BUT! Vintage Story is still in it's infancy right now. There is so much planned for the future and so many mods that can be created. As it was noted that they don't support Linux, they're not an all inclusive community. It has also been noted and noticed by myself that little businesses get bought by bigger businesses or, by providing a better service--at least initially--it can take over a previous existing service/platform. The original people who created content or who were in control may lose out in one way or another. If it was possible to join Curseforge and/or Twitch and still have a written "out" in place should the VS creators and/or modders as a whole decide there is a better way/better system, I would agree wholeheartedly. I don't want someone(s) with more money or importance to come in and say "we had a deal!" and take all the good that has been created and run away with it. To paraphrase: "If the contract is not plain enough that the reader feels like they need a lawyer to explain it to them, the reader may not want to sign the contract for want of losing all they have." I'm ignorant of the contracts so unable to make a better decision or come to a better conclusion. The issue can always be addressed in the future when VS has more polish.
