The game creator of RimWorld says that #GodotEngine is trying to be all things to all people, but it's also trying to hit AAA features, and the lack of decided focus which manifests as misspent effort.

I confirm Tynan's viewpoint on this. Godot severely lacks vision for the project. This issue can be resolved by defining and writing down Godot's development philosophy. But the problem is much, much deeper than that.

It's all about hypocrisy in Godot. Their development priority contradictions can be explained in a really simple way: they don't really care about Godot's direction in the first place!

They just sell themselves to get a steady income in the form of donations and occasional sponsorship. If only investors knew about their irresponsibility... It's a road to nowhere.

Godot leadership says: "We can't offer rewards unrelated to Godot's goals". But the problem is that Godot has no goals in the first place. Therefore, goals are determined by Patreon donations and sponsorship alone. This is merchant's trick. They don't care about philosophy.

The other reason is Godot's NIH syndrome. They won't prioritize features like C# because they don't want to depend on others. This way, they achieve their so-called freedom, but end up making others dependent (imagine Apple, but open-source).
