Fan-funded Skyrim multiplayer mod may never release as devs "don't owe the community anything"

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

EPIC FANTASY REBORN The next chapter in the highly anticipated Elder Scrolls saga arrives from the makers of the 2006 and 2008 Games of the Year, Bethesda Game Studios. Skyrim reimagines and revolutionizes the open-world fantasy epic, bringing to life a complete virtual world open for you to explore any way you choose.

A developer of a popular Skyrim multiplayer mod says that the team "doesn't owe the community anything." Maxgriot, one of the mod team behind Skyrim Together, posted a comment on Reddit earlier this month suggesting that the developers have considered giving up on the project due to the reaction from players.

Maxgriot's comments were made in response to a post on the mod's subreddit. The content of the post - titled "Is something going to happen?" - has now been deleted (a screenshot of Maxgriot's commetns can be found here), but the development team seems to have been upset by its overall message. Maxgriot responded telling the original poster that "we don't owe the community anything," and that updates are posted only "if we feel like spending time doing it."

He follows up by saying that the team is "NOT making this for the community," and that "the community has been so toxic we even considered saying 'fuck it' and [giving] up, or [continuing] but never [releasing] anything to the public. We are making this for ourselves because we think it's a very fun project to work on and we learn a ton doing this."
