Something that has been really pissing me off lately is the shilling of the
GOO ENGINE by ProfessorGoo/DillonGoo, from retards that don't know what they're talking about (Tiktok and Instagram retards, for example).
To summarize, this chink took blender source code, added some NPR node and edited the eevee engine a bit, and then paywalled it.
Blender is under GPLv3, so he's also required to provide the source,
which he technically does. Except that you can't use that source code to build jack. He doesn't provide help, since the discord is behind the paywall, and even if he claims that you're paying for "just the built version", although I believe he's lying on multiple terms and breaching GPL, also the Build instructions are just for Blender, which wouldn't an issue if it wasn't for the fact that the built product doesn't work.
For starters, the github code only build a bunch of useless shit and a "blender-launcher.exe" with the goo engine logo. If you were to start it, it doesn't boot up because it's missing files it doesn't builds. If you try to put that blender-launcher.exe on an existing version of blender, it just launcher blender. I seriously hope someone catches wind of this Chinese Jew, because he's making some bank. I would be less livid if this annoying asshole would've been helping the upstream or at least joined the blender fund. Instead, he's telling people that he's done a "different blender" while all this thing is, is a glorified paid addon. This asshole even brags about Mihoyo being his client, so he's also using that fork for commercial use, so money isn't exactly an issue for this dev.
Like, you can even add other render engines, AMD did that with the ProRender (because AMD's drivers are so shit they wouldn't work with Cycles half the time)
I won't do any call to action, despite my contempt for this retard.
I just wish the only action people would take is to go and join the blender fund.
Maybe I'm wrong and he's doing nothing wrong, but I can't help notice that he's refusing to help the master branch in all ways: he did an half attempt a while ago (not even a push commit, just a comment) and now all he does is excuses on why it wouldn't be accepted, why this can't be merged, for all sorts of retarded reasons. Again, this would work with the master branch, even as a plugin.
