Hi guys,
This rant comes the heart rather than my head and this is the forum that i feel i can express myself openly so hear me out. Apologies in advance if i upset anyone.
I've passionately modded this series since 2012, I'm getting old, getting tired and very busy with work and my family but still enjoy modding/playing this series from time to time.
Over the years, it has been well documented that there has been serious disparity between various modders, some of it is outright jealousy and ego, it has also made me into the worst version of myself too. However, I'd say 75% of the community is echo chamber Discord Servers and almost tribe like groups causing other tool developers and modders seem pathetically insignificant in comparison.
With FC26 coming out, we were hit with a great base for modding (the career mode is very good) but a huge setback with the anti tamper. I put my heart and soul into Frostbite Modding Tool (FMT), cracking the anti cheat and making it available ASAP and allowing modders access very early on, for FREE. However, once again I realised (from the sudden disappearance of all the FMT users) that I'm doing this for nothing other than myself, my own ego and will always be in the shadows of others and have been in the shadows of others ever since the 2020/2021 incidents. It makes me feel like a complete idiot, realise my priorities were completely misguided, i put off in real life things to just help this community and to be honest, i feel i got very little thanks for my efforts. Not for the first time!!!
So I am starting to think. Does the entire community enjoy this monopoly gained by a very select few? I've grown to realise I don't think anyone cares... as long as they can all run their Patreon on top eh?
Anyway. Just putting my thoughts out there. Self reflection is good for my soul 😂
Thanks for coming to my TED talk, this is likely too many words for the young generation 😂
Have a good evening
