I mean, I kind of get it. They're completely within their rights to do it. Um... But at the same time, you know, it's not a good look for them either way. It's like, you guys can't get it running 60 frames a second, but this fucking dude can. The fucking guy with the hot pockets, he can figure it out. You know, that is not a good look.

And it's not a good look taking it down, because obviously it's something that, you know, unless it's something not deliberately malicious, you know, something that could be like, you know, if it's going to wreck the game, or it's obviously not been through their approval process.

That would be the next move. Clearly it's shown that it can be done. You've now, again, within your rights, taken it away from players. I feel like the least you could do is ship your own version of it. Copy this guy's homework. and put an official version out.
