Yuri no longer working on Godot
(programming.dev)
Whay did I miss?
So... what the heck happened there?
Reason hasnt been given. Theres this message from the discord
This doesn't seem to make sense based on Yuri's post. Looks like damage control to me.
It's not damage control lol, this isn't PR. It's them being professional. Why the hell would they spew a bunch of drama? That's just being an adult, it's nobody's business and they're right to not speak on this guy's behalf or encourage internet randos to speculate and involve themselves.
this isn't PR
Uh, yes it is. They're literally a company now and public image is very much a concern of theirs.
If this isn't PR then what is it.
I am perfectly happy to have one less thing to worry about, don't get me wrong.
It could be literally anything and they don't have to share if they don't want to.
I'm with you. He literally talks about people resenting him.
A lot of people have a problem with not wanting to hear any criticism of Godot and the team. Which is why you're getting down voted even though your take is quite reasonable.
There is a bit of drama in that part of the world, we can say that.
Yikes! Does anyone know what happened?
This really sucks, he was doing a great job as a core contributor. I'm not going to speculate on the why since it looks like internal drama between him and the team, but what shocks me is how sudden he left. He just finished and merged a big PR to rework the project manager UI a day before this tweet.
Edit: The Godot Foundation just released a statement
It is true that the Foundation has parted ways with Yuri. Please respect that we as an organization will not go into further detail, we value protecting any former contractor’s privacy over public demands.
However, due to the rampant speculations out there we see the need to emphasize: This situation has nothing to do with Yuri being of Russian descent (a country he has not resided in since before our contracts). We always have and will continue to condemn personal attacks, on Yuri as well as anyone else we are working with.
Lastly, Yuri was one of many valuable contributors to the project, his absence will be felt. The core team is working hard to ensure that we can continue working efficiently.
What's the goss fam? Sounds like a sad situation. Hope everyone is OK.
Aw, that’s sad to hear! He’s always been very pleasant in my interactions
So sad! I hope he's doing well. Hopefully it is all just a temporary private matter and he might come back in the future.
