I primarily use Godot outside Steam, so my hours don't reflect correctly.


The Engine
The engine is great, it's a bit of a learning curve coming from Unity but it's cool once you get into the swing of it. If you're looking for an engine that's open source and pretty damn powerful for what it is. It has a clean interface with a really sleek workflow with the script editor being built into the engine. Overall it's a really neat and unique engine.

The dilemma
I primarily used the Official Discord channel to request assistance to learn more about the engine as I came from Unity. It's difficult but I was learning. The issue is the moderators or "hired staff" on their Discord are insanely abusive with power and will ban you, without warning, for things that you aren't even aware of until it's too late. Guilty until proven innocent mentallity. Additionally, they have self proclaimed "unspoken rules" that you can also be banned for without notice. So if you break one of those rules you have no idea about, without warning, you can be banned.

Conclusion
The engine is and was super cool, I really enjoyed it. But I cannot get behind this project with how they treat users on their Official Discord. It's abusive and only highlights how much they actually care about their community. Also, banning a majority of users for having a political belief that doesn't perfectly align with yours is immature and a sure fire way to make this engine look really bad.
