Godot Engine, a popular open-source game engine, faces community backlash due to its community manager’s actions, including using a racial slur and censoring users critical of "woke" posts. The MIT license of Godot allows large companies like Sega to freely use, distribute, and commercialize the engine, as seen with games like Sonic Frontiers. The gaming industry has become a battleground for culture wars, with activists attempting to impose their politics on game development. Activist volunteers taking control of conventions, forums, and communities often bring ideology that can negatively impact the gaming scene. The decline in gaming quality is often attributed to the departure of original creators and the influx of activist "hacks" attempting to create sequels. Many developers lack the skills to build their own engines, creating a dependency on existing open-source solutions like Godot. ➡️ Official Merch Store: http://ClownfishMinus.com ➡️ Audio Podcast: https://link.chtbl.com/ClownfishTV ➡️ Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com ➡️ Official Clownfish TV subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClownfishTVOfficial/ The Godot Engine has been forked into the "Redo Engine" due to community backlash against perceived censorship and political bias from its community manager, reflecting broader tensions in the gaming culture war. 00:00 Godot Engine’s community manager’s controversial views sparked the creation of the apolitical "Redo Engine" fork. 03:15 Godot Engine is forked after its community manager censors criticism of woke politics, sparking backlash and highlighting the culture war in gaming. 05:41 Godot Engine is facing backlash over perceived censorship and bias after a controversial post by an indie developer, highlighting tensions between traditional creative roles and new mediums. 08:55 Godot Engine’s community manager sparked controversy with a sarcastic post, resulting in bans and the creation of a forked version called "Redo" to focus on game development over political issues. 12:42 The Godot community is navigating the challenge of supporting diverse language speakers while enforcing non-political rules, highlighting the complexities of maintaining neutrality in gaming discussions. 15:13 Community backlash against activist community managers in the Godot Engine leads to a fork, as members prioritize non-political discussions and the integrity of gaming. 18:27 The Godot Engine has been forked amid criticism of its community management, but the new fork is unlikely to succeed due to a lack of identity and the presence of experienced original developers. 22:02 The discussion highlights the absurdity of dividing industries based on political beliefs while promoting a community platform for exclusive content and merchandise.
