Rare Modrinth L

we'll miss you modrinth, you were the only mod launcher i liked guess this is the beggining of the end o7

curseforge is owned by overwolf who donates to the idf

you can always keep using vital

@modrinth.com Not the best idea

Commerciallized slop. Why would I want a historically community modded block game to be a commercial venture for companies looking to resell things others have already made.

they're there to gain from it.

kind of expected something like this to happen eventually, but still extremely disappointing i was hoping it would take a little bit longer than this, oh well cant wait to see microtransactions in the modrinth launcher!

rip modrinth

thanks for the heads up

Fuuuuuck that's who spark is??

uh oh

This is an absolute fucking embarrassment. I guess all good things come to an end, but genuinely, this is ridiculous.

Honestly I would say worse than Bedrock Marketplace, Because while they adopt similar principles Marketplace went into the get go with premium currency. Compared to Essential which probably saw profit and wondered how could convert it into more money. Marketplace is also a little more transparent.

People should be ashamed for hyper-fixating on their store instead of the modding monopoly they're trying to foster. Them acquiring Modrinth is a problem because they will most definitely continue the trend there, only now they can deplatform anyone who doesn't fall in line.

Ah, so the Minecraft equivalent of the Frackin' Universe mod from Starbound. Well that stinks.

Good job ruining trust of most mod developers that work with the platform.

assholes

I’m super hyped to see what’s next for Modrinth with more resources behind it. Spark makes some really good stuff and they’re about as good a fit as any to make this work. 🥳🥳🥳

Hell No!

It was good while it lasted. Feels like just yesterday Modrinth came out as a "replacement" to CurseForge. Guess we need a replacement for the replacement.

fried

You can expect Modrinth to literally get enshittifed by Spark Universe as they gate features behind paywalls/download limits under the guise of "supporting them" within in next months. Honestly a massive L for Modrinth, which is a huge shame because they're the last bastion for Minecraft Modding.

Worst possible choice

Please reconsider this. You have no business joining the creators of a goddamned microtransaction mod and it's only going to be detrimental to the platform in the short and long term.

could you try not doing that, thanks

what the fuck

Bye bye modrinth

Hope this goes well for everyone 💚

Oh hey, I always knew something has died in you a long time ago. Nice way to confirm my suspicion with fanfares and fireworks

Yikes, this is the same level of disappointment I got when I learned that mosquitos are pollinators.

fuck

its bleak...

Like one of them was unironically defending cigarette companies and both thought actually consumers are at fault for being exploited by microtransactions

fair enough, i just wanted to share some potential hope 😭

I got a bad feeling..

👎 spineless. Half the post is apologizing

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined :(

rip to a real one, you will be missed.

are we serious

Like sorry but when yall are the only Minecraft mod to have a privacy policy and your monetization strategies are somehow more exploitative than Roblox, I’m not giving you the benefit of the doubt

That is not what cherry-picking means

Huh. Wonder why people kept hurling personal insults! Could it perhaps have to do with the fact that almost nobody wanted this, and that yall made a shortsighted decision that will inevitably backfire horribly?

I guess we have to hope for a proper fork or replacement to arise :/

you sold out to the absolute scummiest shadiest mod that everyone with a brain hates

PLEEEEASE I ONLY USE MODRINTH BCS ITS IBDEPENDENT WE ARE FUCKED

Welp, that's a surefire way to destroy all goodwill you have with your users. You're gonna regret doing this and you'll have only yourselves to blame.

Truth... Needs to have a funny logo with funny edgy social media marketing. I'd make it mild cerulean and call it ModFrog. That's a joke this problem haunts me. Maybe the answer is a launcher that pulls from Modrinth and Curseforge both, without giving them any IDF money

it was a good run lads 🫡

😐

Ya I looked them up and I have already had people contact me about problems with mods been accepted on there platform, I am now worried for the future of my mods if people have already seen internal changes this means we might be F'd in the A in the future.
