The Problem which Game-Devs face these Days, even more with things like Early Access / Kickstarter, (Content)-Updates and DLC’s plus the fact that today Video-Gamedevelepment is even more Buisness so the reorientation towards the Casualcrowd and Mainstream, that People are nowdays trimmed / trained to that every Games needs to be developed to their taste and needs, as open and accessable as possible. No adventerous dive into different Worlds with their own irks and features, only modern standarts etc. No Dev is allowed anymore to create what they want and how they want, and every Game which tries to be somewhat niche with the potential it could be hugely mainstream(like ARPG’s in general) is automatically a bad game with bad devs.
That’s why it’s so hard for People here to understand that there are Design-Decision decided by mainly the Devs, due they have a Vision about their OWN GAME and now backlash if they don’t get the candy they ask so many times, even further the devs seems not even to be allowed to do some balancing if they feel something too strong / op or had something different in their mind with said items, and it didn’t work out so the rework / overhaul… and we can read every patch and their patchnotes about #deadbuilds nonsense.
Don’t get me wrong in this case, i really love Grim Internals and after using it quite for ahile its truly hard for myself to get back to vanilla Grim Dawn, but that’s the perfect example what Modding is for and why the Devs support it. To have a Vanilla Game where the Devs implement features and content what they seem fitting for their Vision and Game, and for us to give the option to alter it with mods if we want something different out it. So instead of blaming devs or whatever, due they won’t add Stash MTX or in this Case QoL Features like Grim Tools, we should rather thankfully that Crate opened up the Game so much and thankfully for the modding community!
So Thanks Crate and thanks @GlockenGerda and @Darkstalix !! Also i don’t see the neccessity of apologizing, because this is work you guys do at your free time and i don’t see the neccisity to justify that Real Life is more important than an Tool / Mod for an Game. I have to go even that far(which again shows i woudl neither be an good dev nor an good modder) and say, if i would be in your shoes / case i would’ve delayed an release of the GI on purpose for atleast one week for all the mourning etc and than this whole “make it open source” etc…
