Dear Farming Simulator Community,
Many of you by now are aware of the recent issues regarding Chellington Valley and GIANTS Modhub.
I've been supporting the Modhub with my mod content since December 2016. Sadly, I've seen consistency of the testing decline to the point where simply asking for clarification of an issue results in zero communication.
As of this moment, there has been no communication or desire by the QA Modhub team to resolve anything. Despite myself and the Ambassadors reaching out to GIANTS.
The mod hub team haven't given me any reason at all as to what the issue is regarding permissions. I was made aware of one issue via other sources but have had no detail from them if this was the only reason Chellington was removed or if there are any other reasons for this.
I have spent 1000s of hours creating this map not to mention all the time and effort my testers have put in to testing this map only for it to be listed on rip off sites with badly edited versions instead of being resolved properly.
I've spent the last week giving careful thought of how to proceed. First and foremost, I want to enjoy modding, it has been an enjoyable hobby for me for many years.
However, dealing with the inconsistent testing methods of the Modhub has slowly eroded my enjoyment. I can no longer justify spending hundreds of hours making content, only for it to be failed and refused from uploading anymore.
I have spoken to many other modders who have also experienced the same inconsistencies and share my frustrations.
I am extremely upset and disappointed at the manner in which I have been spoken to given the loyalty I have shown over many years and the fact I worked closely with Giants to release there first mod map on console (chellington) and now in the space of 4 years, this personal communication has been lost to an attitude that now tells me I am wasting their time if things are not 100% perfect after one or two attempts considering the complexity of a map.
As they have now advised me to stop wasting their time, I feel it is no longer worth my time working with them
If I decide to create mods in the future, it will only be for the community as sadly I have lost respect and faith in the modhub Q&A team for the unprofessional manner in which they have dealt with this situation, this was something that could have been resolved quickly and easily with some simple communication
Therefore, as of now I will no longer be supporting the GIANTS Modhub with my content.
I would like to respectfully ask that you don’t join the Giants forum or discord to cause any trouble but if you have genuine concerns with them, please do that do it in a constructive manner.
I would like to thank all of the community who have supported me and appreciated my mod content, it means a lot. I would also like to apologise to the many console players who have supported me as I will not be able to make my content available for console use in the future
I have read everyone’s messages and am overwhelmed with the support you have given me
For now I am going to take some time to decide what to do next.
