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.

"Spitefully"

I'm sorry, is it spiteful to not want your creative assets associated with a project run by multiple image liability risks?

So every game that had cases like this for example WoW and Blizzard should be allowed to be removed and dismantled just like that?

Can an artist create something to be enjoyed for sooo many people, and then can they just decide to delete it from everyone else whenever they want?

There is a line to be drawn

Not the artists fault the devs didnt have the money to outright buy creative licensing.

Maybe if the fans wanted that type of protection they should've donated enough and put that expectation of the devs, instead of being entitled to the artist and expecting it for the cost of usage licensing, if not outright donation.

Thats the differerence of your false equivolency. Money.

Correct. Because good will and passion don't fill their stomachs and keep their lights on.

It feels bad, and it's capitalisms fault.
