After 6 years, having spent thousands of hours in-game, earning a Workshop Awards nomination, 10x Top 3 Weekly positions, and having my workbench mod reach the top 10 top-rated items of all time, I am stepping back from all community interaction.

The level of hatred directed at me for having a different perspective on the direction of Stormworks and its DLCs, or the right to protect my own creative work compared to the Stormworks Community, has resulted in the loudest 1% of them engaging in personal attacks against me in both public discord servers and my direct messages. Being attacked or compared to Hitler for having an opinion is something I am no longer willing to tolerate.

I am fully aware that this situation is self-inflicted. I know that if I had kept my mouth shut, none of this would be happening. But I chose to speak my mind, and the community chose to respond with a level of toxicity that has stripped my enjoyment from creating things entirely.

I will still upload creations, screenshots, and videos when I feel like it, but all communication beyond that will no longer happen. I will not respond to comments, feedback, or messages, and I will no longer provide any technical support for my existing builds. If you encounter an issue, it's up to you to fix it or seek help from other community members.

It's time for me to focus on my mental health and what makes me happy.
