Modern Warfare SWEPS

Addressing the drama.

Hi all, I feel like this is long over-due for us to do. We've stayed radio-silent for the majority of the ordeal with Bluedrake hoping it'll go away, but alas, both me and the other developers still get harassed to this day.

With this, I wish to address things & kind of our side to the story.

The email was never from us, actually. It was in-fact from a friend of mine who sent it without my knowledge. I only knew about it when he dm'd me on Discord out of the blue saying that he emailed Bluedrake[cdn.discordapp.com]

Initially, yes, I did. I didn't understand the situation on Bluedrake's side at the time, so naturally, I somewhat agreed with what my friend was saying; though he was incredibly vulgar and needlessly hostile in the email. Bluedrake convientently left out a large part of our dm's where I began to understand his situation and that I eventually grew to be fine with it all.

Never did I, or any of the other developers, harass Bluedrake. In-fact, the only developer he ever spoke to, was me (Viper). I'd say we had an incredibly civil conversation, no name-calling, no ♥♥♥♥-slinging. Just a civil discussion about what's at hand.

I didn't. I wasn't even aware that some of the people in my community were actively harassing Bluedrake until I came across a few names I recognized in his comments. I immediately kicked these people from my Discord, one of which returned and promised good behaviour.

Not only that, but I also put out an announcement to everyone to not go out of their way to harass Bluedrake whatsoever. Where as, Bluedrake I believe never did such a thing.

We never did, and I'm sure Bluedrake knows this too. Hell, I even told him verbatim "no" when he asked me if we cared that he makes videos covering our stuff. In-fact, we were rather flattered that someone of his size covered them.

Sure we goofed off about him giving the mod more praise than it actually deserved, saying things like that is surpasses Tarkov's extensive customization, but that was never done with malicious intent. All-in-all we didn't think much of the videos other than "hey, this is cool".


We have never done this nor claimed this, this is a straight up fabrication.

If you go to any of the workshop item pages, you will find the following in the credits:

Activision, Infinity Ward, Ben Garnell, Peter Chen, Ben Turner, Mike Velasquez, Jeremy Thurman, Alexandr Khaliman, Ed Fedorei, Nikolay Myhalenko, Aaron Beck, Ranon Sarono, Khoa Le, Mark Grigsby Troy Irving - All the assets used in this pack.

People who aren't exactly educated as to what the TOS says will say this.

What is allowed:
3. License
A. Activision grants you a personal, limited, non-exclusive license to use the Product for your non-commercial use.

What isn't allowed:
3
C.
.ii. exploit or reverse engineer the Product (or any of its parts), for any commercial purpose, including without limitation (a) to enable use at a cyber cafe, computer gaming center or any other location-based site without the express written consent of Activision; (b) for gathering in-game currency, items or resources for sale outside the Product; (c) performing in-game services in exchange for payment outside the Product, e.g., power-leveling; or (d) the sale of accounts, log-in information, or other Product materials, access, or rights;

We don't gain any monetary-profit from this project, not in donations and not in monetization. We don't and we never will.

Not only that, but Activision has given out personal permission to use the assets as well. As seen here[cdn.discordapp.com],

It's an awful feeling knowing you're being hated & harassed over things you simply didn't do. It's also incredibly unprofessional of him to make something as private as an email (albeit not from us) & our dm's a public slander-campaign.

I had to turn off comments on my profile & eventually private my profile because the amount of harassment was astounding really. You can still check Mushroom Guy's profile for a bunch of harassment he didn't deserve whatsoever, the guy didn't even speak to Bluedrake. It starts at about page 36

At the end of this, I hope that for some of you, you will be able to form an opinion yourselves on this situation.
