Hey, I don't really go here much but I do wanna clear this up:

I had some concerns about how the FRAF licensing situation played specifically with Friendsim 2's licensing and TOS with our artists. We have a lot of artists who were paid for their work out of my own pocket, so I have a variety of contracts with them and I don't have the bandwidth or resources to really sort all of that out with all of the people involved and make sure it's all compatible with our EULA for our assets. Since I had no plans to utilize the FRAF agreement for merch, I figured it would be simpler to withdraw from the FRAF amicably. I have no hard feelings towards anyone who's still involved with FRAF, just was becoming something I wasn't comfortable with for Friendsim 2 specifically.

My stepping down as an Act 3 producer was unrelated. I've been moving away from Homestuck stuff for a variety of work/life/other creative projects reasons for a while now so that was logically part of that.

Both of these things were at my own discretion and weren't discussed in advance with HICU/FRAF people. If folks have additional questions about the implications for Friendsim 2, they're free to message one of our official accounts since those filter through to me. Tumblr is probably the one I'll see most quickly, tbh.
