you're gonna have to sum this up for me as it's all revolving around an old game and apparently an RTP sprite I've never seen.
McDohl released a game he made with RPGMaker VX. He is not as serious about his game as some community members and is also like "whatever it comes with RTP etc I will make an RPG with it". He has no art abilities so even like his maps are really bad. The game looks bad in screenshots.
However the writing is decent and the game is sort of fun. McDohl is a smart guy and a decent developer.
The memberbase trashed it because of the bad maps and RTP and just looking like . . . . . . .
newbie crap. Few people even gave it a shot. The thread stopped being about the game and started being about the RTP etc.
McDohl was a good sport, asked for suggestions, accepted offers of help etc.
WIP was not a good sport and got angry at everyone and told them they were retarded etc. He took personal offense?
But WIP had already quit and had come back to the site angry with a chip on his shoulder so it isn't really things like that that made WIP quit. He quit for personal reasons, burnout, and lack of interest in the community. He is not really interested in amateur games. He is really interested in web and application development. There are also like . . . personal conflicts within staff as well as disagreements about the purpose of the site and all that.
