Re: Development on version 2.x (Iberian Peninsula Project)

Few posts ago, I expressed my amazement at your version of Andorra. In fact, most of the time, I express my amazement for the most amazing mod available for this game, that kept me driving for 45 levels and almost 400 hours. Few months back, you had the developers support.
But when I hear that you had to cancel Barcelona, it is a huge letdown, all down to the elitist attitude of senior members of the team. Don't get me wrong (you obviously will; happy with another warning!), but over the past year, I've seen you complain about mappers having bad attitude (understandable in certain circumstances, but surely it's about mapping quality? You can always work on communication...), and now you make a scene about how "toxic" is the environment around which without you wouldn't ever exist.
Found this Reddit randomly over Google, and I'm not the only unhappy person about this:
Now you're seeing the effects of your drama queen act; you're letting yourself down by your elitist behaviour, as SCS are clearly firing back, by not letting you use their assets (your "ATS is not released yet" argument doesn't resonate with me). I guess they don't trust you lot now, after labelling them "toxic" after they made you a game you can mod, and presumably have fun modding. You blew it.
But then again, it is childish of them to behave that way. If the reason is that ATS is not released yet, how can they tell you not to release something, if the assets haven't been made available in a game? Surely it's intellectual property they can't claim rights to, or have I missed something?
Whatever it is, I wish you'd speak out less aggressively, and focused more on mapping. Maybe we'd get the releases sooner that way?
