First of all, thank you for all the help. I also wanted to clarify some points about Theboy181. He didn't quit because of the leaks, very early in the totk release days some people leaked a couple of the first mods too, but he continued.
The yuzupirates subreddit decided to raid his server and post death threats and harass him and other members of his community to the point he had to delete the channels.
And while you don't agree with paid mods (even if it was $1 to access them) and then released for free into his site, there is the fact that nobody else really cared to create mods for niche games, or even semi popular ones, like Bayonetta Origins, Bayo3 or the Xenoblade 2 mods, and while you clearly love Zelda, there is no way you will put this same amount of effort into every single Switch game that comes out, it's more likely that you will only do this for Zelda TotK and then stop, so that leaves a very big empty hole in the modding scene that focused on smaller game communities, taking requests of what people actually wanted in a mod for that game.
So while the yuzupirates got what they wanted, who will then take on the mantle? will we ever see an ultrawide mod for Metroid Dread?
