As of late I am deeply conflicted about #GodotEngine 😿

+ I love the design philosophy; I think it's [one of / the] best libre general-purpose 3D-capable engine out there. I use it and promote it.

- I've learned shocking things about reduz (Juan Linietsky) that made me really sad and I don't trust him in regards to money and power within the project.

I don't want to go into specifics, because there's too much to cover in a toot.

Don't downplay "haters" without evaluating their points.

there’s a growing amount of silly hate for it, and a lot of it from the same accounts

Fact is, if you give money to an OSS project, unless there’s strings attached where you sign an agreement for - the people accepting the money can do whatever they want with it. It’s now their money. This is a simple part of foss funding i never understood hate for, it’s their job, the money is then theirs.

@gamingonlinux There's also many past contributors who were bullied and kicked out of the project; many instances of moderation being worse than absent in the community; industry veterans who wanted to help but were treated like idiots; FOSS developers who were open to collab but noped out ( @jrouwe ), there's also reduz's unsubstantiated claims of Godot's supposed tech superiority over industry leading engines. An then there's "borrowing" code from Box2D violating it's license...

@gamingonlinux
Xrayez isn't helping his own case by spending countless hours on social media replying to random people talking about Godot, branding everyone who disagrees with or doesn't understand his gibberish as a "cultist", writing paragraphs in replies whilst failing to actually provide any solid evidence or arguments outside of "read my book lol" and even listing PROPRIETARY engines as the best alternatives.

If he is being truthful, he's doing an awful job at convincing people.
