        God I hate when something good comes around that flaunts a rule and people make it a huge fucking deal and then are all shocked pikachu when the company is mad about it. If there’s something like this keep it fucking quiet you rubes. Share the github quietly, or just upvote it on NexusMods. Don’t go plastering it everywhere.

All I was doing was simply pointing out that what they are doing is noble, but that we should never trust a corporation to not take the hammer out and try to destroy it, and keeping it quiet helps keep it out of their sphere for a while longer.
