I used to play this game a year and a half ago with mods, but then my PC died. Now that I'm replaying this game, I went to this modding community to download some mods to relive that experience and...
I just came and read about the situation with eternity tools and... why is eternity tools the only existing tool for modifying DBX2? I admit that I don't play many games, but this situation seems very strange to me, because, If you go to general game forums like the DBX forum on reddit, you will find that almost all active users of this game on PC play with mods, which means that the entire DBX community exists thanks to the work of Eternity, so what did this community do? harass Eternity every time there is an update.
When I used to play this game, it was in a short period of time where no updates were made, so I never got to see that toxcity, and I wasn't here when eternity tools went down because of all the harassment, so I can only imagine how stressful this situation really was, but, I'll be honest, I really don't understand why people got so stressed about waiting. At the end of the day, this is just a game, who cares if we have to wait a month, 2 months or even 6 months? There's more to live than DBX2. .
And this is even sadder when you consider that as far as I know, Eternity doesn't even play the game anymore, they just keep updating the patch because they know the community wouldn't exist without the patch. But that is a toxic relationship with a community. When I went to the forum list I expected to see different discussions and topics, we could do fun things on these forums, but instead the general forum has 9 entries and 8 of those entries are people complaining about the fact that the patch is not updated. And everything related to this topic is always people asking the same question over and over again when it is so easy to just search for the answer in any of the existing forums, I am not Eternity and I get frustrated just seeing that repetitive cycle. And I didn't even see the death threats, insults and harassment that apparently there was at the time in the chat... OVER A GAME
If Eternity is really only working on the patch, not because they like it or want to, but because the community could not exist and mod without them, then I really hope Eternity takes a well-deserved break from all this and never updates the patch ever again. So maybe if people are that desperate they could create a tool themselves or find something else to do with their lives than continue harassing an innocent person. Because the issue is not that this is the longest time Eternity has taken to update the patch, the issue is that even if the patch is updated, this will happen again in the next update, and the next, and the next.
Honestly, its not worth it.
