You're making aggressive accusations and seem bent on framing this in a negative light. Tyrone was very transparent about the resources being allocated to Vintage Story and the new developing game mode, and VS players aren't getting shafted.
You don't want "Vintage Story: Hytale edition". Cool, neither do I. If your concern is not wanting the Hytale mode installed by default then make a diplomatic request that it be a separate, optional download. Accusing the developer, who has been transparent and delivered a solid product so far, of shady dealings based on your interpretation is unnecessary.
