I have to do a major update to my Vintage Story review because there's been some MAJOR conflict of interest regarding some malware that one of the mods (and devs of the game) has been implementing into the code. I cannot promote or recommend such a game anymore.

I'd never been so heart broken by a game before. I've been let down sure and I've avoided games like the plague if I see something coming from a mile away easily. But being rug pulled after buying a product that gamers put their trust and enthusiasm into is one of the most abhorrent actions that can ever been done to your player base.
daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn that's huge. i was thinking of trying it a few months back, glad I didn't. thanks for the link, seems like a good read. sad though, i know a lot of people loved this game
Basically the tl;dr: https://boards.4chan.org/v/thread/746743574 Why can't devs just make a game and sell it on it's own merits? You can't even trust indie devs anymore.

Frankly, I'm more upset that rather than firing Maltiez (The guy responsible for the malware), the devs are using his code for future updates.
Luanti bros still eating good at least.
