I feel terrible that these devs have to address a bunch of crybabies who are sending death threats for the most insane and entitled reason ever.
And mods are not officially supported. Installing mods has risks that they will break with patches.
The whole situation has been absolutely absurd, honestly. I can't believe that the entire community hasn't shunned every single modder who actually put their name to that insane "petition".
It reads like an immature attempt at authority. Here's hoping it's forgotten swiftly, and those who signed are made to feel silly for even supporting such a childish view.
What petition? The article didn't mention any, and I haven't seen anything about a petition posted in here...
A quick Google search doesn't reveal anything either.
Shunning modders simply for signing a petition seems like a major overreaction. Most people signing a petition don't really read the contents. They usually just go for the quick explanation which was probably sold to them as something like, "sign this petition to ask Larian Studios to better support mods/Script Extender".
I do feel that modders need to chill out and accept that major changes to the codebase are still happening and that will cause conflicts with mods. It's great that Larian Studios has expressed their willingness to support mods in the future. I think that's certainly enough for me.
a bunch of modders created a silly petition that essentially breaks down to entitlement.
Wow...made it a few paragraphs in before the smug became overpowering.
