Did something happen with Godot that caused the lost sponsors....?

Edit: this thread has some discussion if you're out of the loop like me

Kinda sounds like Godot did pretty much nothing wrong and it's just a bunch of internet drama? Hard to tell honestly

They made a cheeky tweet asking for people to share their projects while referencing a lowlife saying that "using 3rd party engines is woke"

cockroach "people" then jumped in on it triggering a harassment campaign

If we look at their perspective, engines that could block you from developing in them are more "woke" than an open source one that doesn't enforce any restriction on its developers by design. Going after godot for this feels so dumb.

It's just a vocal minority of people with nothing to do, so they get mad at other people being happier than they are.
