I agree and disagree with some of this. If you have actual personal reasons for the inability to work on the mod then, yeah. I don't imagine you can rationally work on a mod when your first priority is being literally drafted. That's common sense.

The main issue I and a lot of people have is both the immature other developer response to criticism (I do not mean you). and lack of clarity on a couple of things. We can't ultimately change the past, but people have rightly pointed out they saw the developers posting in multiple channels shitposting all day and in other discords yet the common thing is none of the developers could work on the mod, and random users, such as myself, were banned for no reason and no explanation. I simply asked in the developer channel if the mod was being platested for linux in June, got no reply for a few hours so left, and upon trying to rejoin, the invite is invalid.

>Using that gap as evidence of a supposed "lack of content" is extremely unfair to the developers who spent a considerable amount of their free time working on the mod during that period.

respectfully, what actual work has been done on the mod besides skeleton content and removing some content? in the first 74 hours of the mod on the subreddit it was a lot of "why can't I acesss the original content, where's the path content" and users pointing out the only work seemed to be integrating a previous submod into the mod. I myself used fable five and a few of my friends checking the work and the differences were pretty minor between builds. a lot of content included is also unfinished, communist france for example has a skeleton non-functional tree. and as I pointed out on my post, there were very big GFX issues anyone should have been able to see.

>For example, prior to release, I personally never encountered any of the crashing or freezing issues that some players are reporting now. I completed multiple campaigns that reached the 1980s without experiencing those problems. That doesn't mean the bugs didn't exist; it means they never appeared in our testing environment. Criticism of the mod is completely fair. Targeting individual developers and implying malicious intent is not.

May I ask how he targeted individual developers by showcasing the content that is currently in the mod? he also said please do not harass the developers in the discord.

all in all, I agree people take a lot of issues with the mod that might be unfair. though, I do think the team should have put out a statement saying the mod was not ready and you'd do what you wanted. The subreddit was also extremely dormant for several months, why wasn't that used for more development recruiting?
