Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players appalled by dev death threats over mod support Larian StudiosThe Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 community is disgusted by some fan members sending death threats to the devs over the game\u2019s mod support. The devs behind Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 recently announced that mod support would be coming to the massively popular RPG. While most of the player base was elated by the news, a vocal minority appears to have gone too far in their criticisms of lackluster mod support, resulting in Larian asking them to stop making death threats. In response, the greater Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 community has expressed their disgust in these fans and have spoken out in defense of the devs online. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 fans abhor death threats being sent to devs The reveal of death threats being made towards the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 devs came in a series of tweets by Larian\u2019s Director of Publishing, Michael Douse. While discussing when they would be giving more information about the upcoming mod support, Spouse mentions: \u201cThreats & toxicity against our devs & community teams will only harm the conversation. Please stop that.\u201d We\u2019ll be talking in depth about what our mod support will look like soon. Been working on it since launch. As always, we\u2019ll discuss it in our way with our community. Threats & toxicity against our devs & community teams will only harm the conversation. Please stop that. \u2014 Very AFK (@Cromwelp) February 25, 2024 The response to this by the community has been one of revulsion and embarrassment for their members to be sending these threats. Over on the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 subreddit, the fans are coming together to support the devs and speak out against this kind of behavior. \u201cThey were raised wrong and incorrectly believe they\u2019re anonymous and that digital footprints aren\u2019t real.\u201d It appears that a majority of the threats are being sent as a result of the latest updates and patches breaking mods for the game, forcing players to uninstall them. \u201cBeen a lot of drama over Patch 6 breaking mods and Larian\u2019s discord server going off the rails. Suffice to say, whenever there\u2019s any community backlash, some people will invariably take things too far because psychos always find a way.\u201d Many fans are concerned that this kind of action will result in the community becoming more negative overall, resulting in more \u201cinsufferable weirdos.\u201d Unfortunately, as one user points out, a game as massive and successful as Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 will always have a huge playerbase, which means \u201cit\u2019s gonna have insufferable weirdos.\u201d The entire situation is horrible, and it\u2019s at least affirming to see the greater chunk of the community coming to speak out against these threats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
