![]() Nobody else from Technic was invited and that wasn't acceptable to me so I told Curse no. The deal was Technic and all of it's properties and assets, and then I'd work for Curse. When I say "us" I actually mean "me" even though I was the least talented or technically-minded person on the team. Just blow them off, their authority isn't real and chances are they are just a scrub chump.Ĭurse originally approached Technic to buy us. There are still lots of people out there trying to flex faux authority but that's always going to be true in any community. When Technic was new that idea was absurd, you built your OWN modpack, and also went uphill both ways in the snow and LIKED it. I think it worked out pretty well considering the idea of a modpack launcher seems to be the defacto way now that people play modded Minecraft on PC. I did what I could with the authority that was granted to me to swing it as hard as I could in that direction. I was around the Morrowind/Skyrim/Fallout modding communities and absolutely didn't want that to happen to the just-starting Minecraft modding community. I wanted to make it clear that I believed the power was in the end-user's hands, not some weird upper-class cabal of mod creators. If you can even find the original Technic modpack archive I included a text file explicitly stating I knew I'd catch shit for it and I didn't care. The ~controversy~ was never viewed as that by us at Technic, we honestly just laughed about how serious people were taking things and went on our way. The popularity of Technic and the community that grew up around it was an accident. I (and the rest of the team) never set out to become famous or create a community or anything else, I just liked mashing mods together and having them be used in interesting ways. It exploded, I went "uhhh" and then everything snowballed from there. You've got to remember that the only reason "Technic" was a thing was because I put together a bunch of mods, thought it was cool, shared it on Something Awful for the goons there, it got picked up by the Yogscast guys (Ye Old Goon Squad) and they made a video about it. The Technic Launcher is alive and well, the official Technic modpacks are, at the very least, on hiatus.
