Yeah, not surprising. I've personally encountered the project leader, Graf, and... Man, he's an asshole.

Any interesting stories? It's always amusing to read about how little power it takes for someone to become insufferable. Some maintainers can be incredibly petty tyrants.

For instance, half the FAQ for CDDA is about avoiding or navigating around the whims of a few, let's call them opinionated, team members who gatekeep development of specific systems in the game.

I don't really recall, it was quite a long time ago. I reported a change in a rerelease of a supported game and what I got back was a condescending tirade about how ridiculous the idea of supporting whatever it was would be.

The C:DDA devs almost feed off of being antagonistic. I'm so glad BN & TLG got spun off as their own cataclysm forks because the Core devs of DDA are really quiet negative.
