Outrage machine? You mean people sincerely disagreeing with the hateful bullshit the Godot community managers and moderators have been saying publically?
It's a way to dehumanize the majority of people who'd like to keep politics out of professional game development.
There's no way to argue that this whole controversy wasn't just made up on purpose by a radical CM. At some point companies have to learn having these people in control of the social media profiles isn't a good idea, and siding with them is even worse. This is peak unprofessionalism and trying to poison the community well.
"on purpose" gives too much credit. No one ever knows when some random tweet suddenly becomes a hurricane. That's why PR tries to be as milqeutoast in posting as possible. Often never allowed to even reply to any but the most obvious questions woth the most canned responses (when is X comkng out. And not much more).
But yes, the various issues with the community (even before the Unity implosion) and its design philosophies that show no hint of changing (which are fine, just not to my needs) is why I'm looking more into Stride for my OS engine instead.
Or at least that was the plan until layoff season came. Hope 2025 gives me better stability so I can get back to my long term goals.
How do you know what the majority wants or that even matters?
Simply because some sociopaths have stopped seeing themselves as active members of the society, doesn't necessarily make them neither a majority nor a healthy group of people.
To honor basic human rights is "poisoning"? That's some strong projection.
