Yikes! Does anyone know what happened?
“I’m forever grateful to those who do not resent me”? Sheesh, sounds dramatic…
Not sure why you’re being downvoted. That statement comes across as a 13-year-old writing a suicide letter before swallowing five aspirin.
Perhaps because text is terrible for conveying intent, dunno. I meant it this cannot not be a small transgression, more like a dramatic emotionally intense event, if it has resulted in people resenting him.
Could be a translation thing but to hurt someone or do something at the magnitude for them to actively resent you… is a pretty strong word in my part of the globe.
Check out his Twitter, he didn’t seem like a happy person.
Poor guy. I don’t have the tweeter, but I feel for him.
What’s the goss fam? Sounds like a sad situation. Hope everyone is OK.
Okay.
What’s “Godot”?
I’m not sure if you’re joking since you’re on a post from the Godot community, but in case you aren’t: Godot is an open source game engine. Anyone can help work on the engine, and game developers can use it for free. While I don’t really know much about what goes on with the engine development, it seems like this guy was a major contributor based on other comments.
So… what the heck happened there?
Reason hasnt been given. Theres this message from the discord
This doesn’t seem to make sense based on Yuri’s post. Looks like damage control to me.
It’s not damage control lol, this isn’t PR. It’s them being professional. Why the hell would they spew a bunch of drama? That’s just being an adult, it’s nobody’s business and they’re right to not speak on this guy’s behalf or encourage internet randos to speculate and involve themselves.
I am perfectly happy to have one less thing to worry about, don’t get me wrong.
this isn’t PR
Uh, yes it is. They’re literally a company now and public image is very much a concern of theirs.
If this isn’t PR then what is it.
This has literally nothing to do with the company
I’m with you. He literally talks about people resenting him.
A lot of people have a problem with not wanting to hear any criticism of Godot and the team. Which is why you’re getting down voted even though your take is quite reasonable.
It could be literally anything and they don’t have to share if they don’t want to.
There is a bit of drama in that part of the world, we can say that.
So sad! I hope he’s doing well. Hopefully it is all just a temporary private matter and he might come back in the future.
Aw, that’s sad to hear! He’s always been very pleasant in my interactions
This really sucks, he was doing a great job as a core contributor. I’m not going to speculate on the why since it looks like internal drama between him and the team, but what shocks me is how sudden he left. He just finished and merged a big PR to rework the project manager UI a day before this tweet.
Whay did I miss?
