Godot leadership banned a Ukrainian maintainer amidst Russian invasion of Ukraine, which became the straw that broke camel's back.

Many people misunderstand my motivation on why I talk about Godot's wrongdoings for so long.

While I do have an emotional attachment to the project, which shows absolutely all signs of being an actual cult, as a former member of it, it's my ethical duty to talk about it. Some people may not understand the entire notion of ethics or duty in the first place, though...
Godot leadership's political stance against a Ukrainian contributor and maintainer has lead to unprecedented consequences for Godot leadership. They didn't expect that I'd continue talking about their wrongdoings for so long, and they thought that they could get away with this.

The admin of Godot forums keeps locking the discussion concerning Godot's governance.

Several people attacked my character in a thread which discussed the fact of Godot leadership founding commercial companies for Godot.

Someone in the discussion asked what kind of goal I have in mind. After the discussion got locked, I asked him the same question in private.

He left the private conversation, that's exactly how cultists operate, they don't answer the questions. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Godot leadership betrays their ideology!

Lead developer @reduzio and project manager @Akien launched a commercial company called W4 Games!

Free and #OpenSource game engine wants to have a cake and eat it too!

#GodotEngine #CancelGodotEngine #TruthAboutGodot #GameDev
W4 Games website.

Notice how Godot leadership deliberately leaves out important information when they say it's a company of "Godot veterans", but those "Godot veterans" and Godot leadership are the same persons.

Feel free to familiarize yourself with my previous threads on this topic to understand why Godot is not community-driven and my explanation of why the mentality of Godot leadership is not open as you might have expected:

Behavior of Juan, aka @reduzio, lead developer of @godotengine, can be summarized as undue influence, which manifests as hypocrisy, lack of empathy, inattentiveness, irresponsibility.

Below is my critical analysis.

#GodotEngine #TruthAboutGodot #GodotCult #CancelGodotEngine
Juan posses a belief that he's destined to help people to make great games. He attempts to create a game engine which could allow users to create both casual and AAA games with little to no effort. But if you run after two hares, you will catch neither.
Juan focuses his efforts of making the engine accessible to everyone. He will always prioritize features that make the image of Godot look nice in the eyes of beholder, like editor features or movie maker mode, at the expense of neglecting core parts of the engine.

The game creator of RimWorld says that #GodotEngine is trying to be all things to all people, but it's also trying to hit AAA features, and the lack of decided focus which manifests as misspent effort.

I confirm Tynan's viewpoint on this. Godot severely lacks vision for the project. This issue can be resolved by defining and writing down Godot's development philosophy. But the problem is much, much deeper than that.

Expressing that people are sane is seen as an insinuation and a slippery slope in #GodotEngine community. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

But when #Godot community calls others insane when they talk about Godot shortcomings, it's fine. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

To quote @Akien: "Let's not go there please." ๐Ÿ˜‰

#TruthAboutGodot
To give this context, we talked about master/slave terminology in Godot and IT. You can even see articles such as these:

Ironically, what you read above totally describes Godot. It's one of the biggest echo chambers out there in #OpenSource game #GameDev community, because dissenting opinion about Godot is seen with hostility. This is also the reason why I say that Godot leadership is hypocritical.

Godot irony: @F1reForge enhances a feature that I implemented in #GodotEngine: ShapeCast2D

But I no longer have access to create PRs in Godot to make improvements for that feature myself!

If freedom is a privilege, there's no freedom.

Despite the fact that I'm cancelled by @Akien in Godot, here's a proof that I actually existed in Godot and that I'm an author of ShapeCast2D feature in Godot. They cannot erase that from history! ๐Ÿ˜‰

How do you feel about it? Endless lies become truth. Freedom for whom? Hypocrisy has a new face, it's called Godot.

Godot is not "free" as in beer, but "free" as in cheese in a mousetrap.

#GodotEngine #TruthAboutGodot Image
Godot is pure trustocracy, not do-ocracy, and not even meritocracy. Optimistically speaking, Godot is not community-driven, it's community-informed.

Godot cultists make up conspiracy theories about me on their subreddit again. Give me a break! ๐Ÿ˜‚

#GodotEngine #CancelGodotEngine #GodotCult

First and foremost, the fact that Godot cultists call me a conspiracy theorist is nothing new. See my other thread (make sure to scroll down to see the educational video on cults):

The fact that they keep talking about me in this context is really good, because all their words and actions prove everything about Godot being a cult.

Godot followers asking Elon Musk for money so that they can run #GodotEngine on their PCs. How sweet! ๐Ÿ™‚

#TruthAboutGodot
Perhaps this is the actual reason why Godot's lead developer has decided to open-source Godot in the first place, just to receive donations to buy a new PC? ๐Ÿ˜

By the way, Juan is from Argentina (South America).

I live in Ukraine, so I totally get this sentiment. Do people tend to use open-source technology because they are poor? Perhaps it boils down to mentality and particular ideology, and it's a matter of personal choice, not limitation? Image

Some Godot followers keep saying to me that I should stop talking negatively about Godot, saying that this is unhealthy or excessive. The more you try to discourage me to stop this, the more this motivates me to talk negatively about Godot! ๐Ÿ™‚

#GodotEngine #CancelGodotEngine
Because this amount of gaslighting and slandering as done by Godot followers is very alarming. To Godot followers, it's like I never existed in the first place... I repeat: I'm an ex-developer of Godot. You can verify this for yourself by launching Godot's "About" window.
I do not hide anything about myself. I'm a real person, with a real name.

Some Unity users and even moderators within Unity community are infected with the futile ideology of waiting for Godot! This must be fixed! Let me explain why.

As you may know, Unity recently merged with ironSource: blog.unity.com/news/welcome-iโ€ฆ
This created a mass hysteria on Unity forums. Because of this, Unity folks were heavily discussing Godot there to consider switching to as an alternative to Unity, so I decided to share my perspective there:
