What exactly are they demanding or having an issue with?

They are basically demanding stuff that Larian has said isn't even ready yet. Bullet points include:

"Clarity of expectations regarding official modding support"
"Support a moderation team with proper guidelines on how to handle situations"
"Mention of issues related to patches/hotfixes"


The problem here is that right now Larian does NOT officially support modding. Yet. They recently put a statement about it, but idk what they really expect when mod support isn't even official. And worse, these modders--many of whom have dependency mods that other mods rely on, are actively pulling them. It just hurts those modders as well as people using the mods, when suddenly they can't access a mod they need to download because it was pulled. They are also flat lying to Nexus, pulling them listed under "unresolved issues with the mod."

Quite frankly it reeks of entitlement and comes off as someone just throwing a tantrum because they are impatient.

I have not read the letter, but those are not improper things to ask for - although it sounds like they were making demands. Swen made statements about supporting modding and having official modding support quite some time ago and nobody had heard anything for months. I think having an open channel of communication in regards to expectations would be good for everyone.

It would also be nice to know if there ARE challenges they are facing what the nature of those challenges is/are. If some big boy is causing problems because they are being unreasonable (Sony) - then we need to expose that to daylight. Sony has been unreasonable in the past and once they get called on it they eventually back down. And if it's NOT Sony then clarifying the nature of the actual problem prevents speculation.
