Larian's silence toward their community is causing people to turn on them. Twitter and Discord are absolutely on fire about Patch 6 and Hotfix 18 breaking mod support.
The vagueness and silence towards what is being added to the game next is causing a culture of bullying to emerge surrounding it. There are constant arguments that lead to belittling shouting matches surrounding what was promised. It's also caused conspiracy theories to emerge that certain updates were meant to break modding because Larian secretly hates it. Or that the modding toolset was cancelled because Wizards of the Coast shut the idea down.
Had they told us the status of planned modding support (which was originally supposed to drop back in September) I doubt any of this would happen. Then we'd at least know "okay things are rough but soon things will be okay". Instead we're just greeted with "..." and we don't know if mod support hasn't been cancelled outright. It's causing the community to fracture into two halves, players who just passively play the game and players who want to modify and document it. And the latter community is shrinking day by day as this continues. I really want Larian to succeed and I want its community to prosper. But it's hard to not lose sympathy for them if they allow it to continue without even a simple "hey guys don't worry here's what's happening".
