I myself, a small mod creator, have had the simplest mods stolen and put behind a paywall in somebody elses patreon with my credits and watermark taken away, while i am very critical of Patreon, since you need to pay here and there and everywhere for mods, I think in this situation the criticism made to Anth is unfair, because well, ofcourse, I use his mod, and ofcourse you can take it as my own personal experience, it's not just a tv logo or one of my simple mods, people always moan about "muh fifa 16" and "muh pes 2021" well if you want that experience than Anth replicates exactly that, if we removed the 1v1 out of the window the gameplay itself would be the best it's ever been, I think it's harsh to criticize someone who will release something for free, who actually updates their community constantly with changes to his mod, and with the mod that will change your whole game experience, as people always dream of this certain game and Anth is making it happen to the best of his habilities and still getting critics when it will be free for everyone.
Since people here also do gameplay modding, then you know how long it takes and how messed up the process is, Anth is literally busting ass that he could spend IRL doing anything else to provide the game that EA didn't give us, that Konami didn't give us, and while people haven't even tried the mod to comprehend that, it's just harsh. Why not just wait until he releases his mod and come here to say "well what a waste of time, glad i didn't waste my money" instead you are impatient, and it's within your right not to pay, and wait for his free release, you are saying stuff like he is doing a mediocre job. Maybe everyone should have this chat when they get their hands on the mod and actually use it, when your game turns into something completely different because of this dude's work you will see. Of all the people to criticize, you decide Anth will be the target, when he is literally saving the shit show that EA released. I understand everyone, and share some opinions about Patreon, but to Anth, specially when his mod will be free, is just wrong, really wrong. Wait a bit, give it a chance, and then let him know how you feel. Maybe your opinion changes, maybe not. But if theres someone that would get my money this man is the one. Thank you to anyone who bothered to read all of this.
