@Grimdeer64@bigman98989@intravenousqry@JustVicquoir That's the thing though, the people in charge of rejecting the offer did not say anything in the Discord 😭😭😭
The most concrete "official" stance comes from tomat, who is actually a developer, and he is the one speaking in the clip.
@bigman98989@Grimdeer64@intravenousqry@JustVicquoir This person does not speak for the dev team.
They didn't have a say in the decision to reject the offer, this is NOT an official stance in any capacity.
Please check where you get your information, or maybe actually listen to the livestream.
@damianplockigit@intravenousqry@JustVicquoir And if xqc really wanted to, he could just take Calamity and make a new mod using it's ideas. Addons and related works are okay, it's just the official Calamity mod that's being cancelled.
@damianplockigit@intravenousqry@JustVicquoir Honestly, that would've been a good outcome. Even if they wanted to give the rights, they'd have to wait for Ozzatron to finally man up. Also current devs want to move on now. Actually in the event that the legal matters are fixed, anyone is free to use the mod's ideas
@damianplockigit@intravenousqry@JustVicquoir Sadly though at the end of the day that's their say. The narrative I grasp from the cancellation message is that people are just tired of being betrayed. They believe their time is better spent on other great projects, and it's time to respect that and move on
@damianplockigit@intravenousqry@JustVicquoir As I see it, maybe the reason the developers so quickly refused xqc's offer is because the mod is just, dead. If there was a chance that the mod could be continued, with the people removing their content choosing instead to stay, I honestly think they'd agree and work on the deal
@damianplockigit@intravenousqry@JustVicquoir Because the next change will be the removal of many, many content like music and items at the request of their rightful owners. It will basically set back the mod by a decade. The devs had a choice of continuing with this husk or keeping it frozen to be enjoyed as it is now.
@1984Turning@Grimdeer64@intravenousqry@JustVicquoir Who exactly? The developer in this clip doesn't have any statements directly mentioning xqc.
If you're talking about that one guy (forgot the name), they're a MODERATOR, and is in no way tied to the development team
@PoisonslashX@BambooIGuess@bloomjpg Them disagreeing is likely due to more personal reasons rather than "I hate xqc". Calamity is a PASSION project. People who work on it have careers and lives outside of the mod, and the xqc deal just isn't worth it for them.
@PoisonslashX@BambooIGuess@bloomjpg They choose not to, not because of agreed consensus that xqc is "bad" but because the legal leaps both parties would have to go through: getting permission from everyone who's assets were used, and getting permission from Ozzatron and FABSOL for the rights to use their IP.
@PoisonslashX@BambooIGuess@bloomjpg The stream addresses the idea of xqc acquiring the mod and forming a new dev team to develop it. Tomat literally even said that xqc had plans to hire the old developers to atleast keep the original prospects of the mod alive.
