vBArcade for XenForo

Wanted said:

Hello DBTech Team

I'm very glad to see you guys released 2 XenForo add-ons, May I request you to please consider on porting your vBArcade add-on over XenForo? XenForo still don't have a stable Arcade mod and I'm very much interested in buying your Arcade add-on if you port it for XenForo.

Looking forward to seeing any update or plan, please do it :RpS_thumbup:

Thank you very much and best wishes.

We'll wait and see how the software and community develops first - what put us off last time wasn't the lawsuit, it was the horrible attitude of a proportion of the community over there

We would have to essentially build the paid markets mod for xF up from scratch and it's hard to push yourself to work at a loss for several months to build an uncertain market, which is what we would have to commit to.

If the community there was a friendly one that appreciated and encouraged the work it would be one thing, but we had a different experience. People were actively looking for reasons to complain and insult us, there was an attitude of "your mods/pricing/copyright should work the way we say so, or we're going to attack you".

TL;DR We lost money doing it last time and the community was so unfriendly and abrasive that we have no desire to release our work to those people. We might re-examine xF down the road if the community changes or the profitability equation is different, but for now we have no plans.
