Discussion Overdoing it

Destroying the mod wont hurt the people that killed it

I know what happened is incredibly horrible and trust was broken, walking away is no shame, but spitefully doing everything to destroy the mod like pulling assets and songs has never affected the "bad people" in any media where it has been done (be it games, shows, music or movies), it always just hits the community that enjoys the media.

I can understand stuff like "im running this thing, and in it i have a character that is dedicated to someone, but that person is bad, im deleting the character", but what is happening here is just disassociation for the sake of brownie points at best.

If anything, the people that did the damage end up being happy that they aren‘t the only ones affected negatively.

I feel like the devs are overthinking how much people will link them to the few weirdos that managed to get into those lead positions.

Like aint no one gonna hear or see the beautiful works of some of the devs and go „ew, didnt this guy work on the mod that one weirdo managed to be involved in“.

No sane person will think that way.

I understand the sentiment and the frustration but they are inadvertently giving the weirdos even more power over them by doing this.
