Dunno if it’s the same drama, but there was a bit of a fuss from the dev that led to a messy spiral.
The dev, despite making this fetish game all about lewdness and kinks and so on, really, really HATES sex, absolutely loathes it. Not an asexual, more like an “anti-sexual”.
At some point, some people were tired of the game constantly teetering on the edge between lewdness and porn and the dev working slow in general, so they made a modded copy called “Boundless: 4CE” that implements sex, fixes bugs, adds other content, helps tone down the confusing nature of the game, rebalances things, etc., it’s just a complete overhaul.
Overall IMO the mod was solid and didn’t do anything offensive, I liked it better than the base game at least, as it fixed basically every issue I had with the “real” game.
This made the dev have a full meltdown, and after some time the dev and their more, uh, “passionate” fans ended up throwing a fit and getting the 4CE taken down publicly.
I mean, it’s still the internet and the 4CE’s still out there if you look for it, but man.
Any time a download link gets brought up, that “inner circle” tends to hound whoever posted it and get it removed. Heck, even complaining about the shutdowns often makes one of them show up.
Seriously though, Boundless had this… circle of fans that practically took it like it was some kind of cult or religion, taking it dead-seriously There’s even fans who fully believe they’re FROM the world of Boundless, the world being real and that their soul got sent to Earth instead, so now they’re some alien blob creature trapped inside a human’s body, and no, they’re not joking.
Not saying all, or even a majority of the fans were like that, but there were definitely a few.
Dunno what kind of meds they’re on (or off, I guess), but jeez, that’s some serious mental hospital stuff right there, believing that you’re from a fictional porn game’s world, yeesh.
