Yuri no longer working on Godot

Whay did I miss?

So... what the heck happened there?

Reason hasnt been given. Theres this message from the discord
- This doesn't seem to make sense based on Yuri's post. Looks like damage control to me.
There is a bit of drama in that part of the world, we can say that.

Yikes! Does anyone know what happened?

This really sucks, he was doing a great job as a core contributor. I'm not going to speculate on the why since it looks like internal drama between him and the team, but what shocks me is how sudden he left. He just finished and merged a big PR to rework the project manager UI a day before this tweet.

Edit: The Godot Foundation just released a statement

It is true that the Foundation has parted ways with Yuri. Please respect that we as an organization will not go into further detail, we value protecting any former contractor’s privacy over public demands.

However, due to the rampant speculations out there we see the need to emphasize: This situation has nothing to do with Yuri being of Russian descent (a country he has not resided in since before our contracts). We always have and will continue to condemn personal attacks, on Yuri as well as anyone else we are working with.

Lastly, Yuri was one of many valuable contributors to the project, his absence will be felt. The core team is working hard to ensure that we can continue working efficiently.

What's the goss fam? Sounds like a sad situation. Hope everyone is OK.

Aw, that’s sad to hear! He’s always been very pleasant in my interactions

So sad! I hope he's doing well. Hopefully it is all just a temporary private matter and he might come back in the future.

"I'm forever grateful to those who do not resent me"? Sheesh, sounds dramatic..

Check out his Twitter, he didn't seem like a happy person.
- Poor guy. I don't have the tweeter, but I feel for him.
Not sure why you're being downvoted. That statement comes across as a 13-year-old writing a suicide letter before swallowing five aspirin.
- Perhaps because text is terrible for conveying intent, dunno. I meant it this cannot not be a small transgression, more like a dramatic emotionally intense event, if it has resulted in people resenting him.
  
  Could be a translation thing but to hurt someone or do something at the magnitude for them to actively resent you... is a pretty strong word in my part of the globe.
