Creator and owner of The Calamity Mod here.

It is fully within your rights to tell this team to remove your music, which you did, and gave a rather generous time frame to do so.

However... your sarcasm is rather unbecoming and paints you in a bad light. You've simply managed to add insult to injury, and perhaps convinced a few people that you actually gave permission for this development team to use your music, which you didn't.

I love your music, but wow, guess I'll have to separate art from the artist now, at least when it comes to you.

To be frank, I'm not sure why you decided to waste your time telling this mod to not use your music. There's many many mods out there that use your music in other games, and I can damn near guarantee you haven't been asked for permission to do so. I've seen it countless times, but the most recent one that comes to mind is a music replacement mod for Deep Rock Galactic that replaces combat music with Risk of Rain music. This mod doesn't make money. There's nothing to lose from mods, or anything else really, using your or anyone else's music, so long as credit is given to the source.

To my knowledge, Hakita has gone out of his way to clarify that he doesn't care if his music is used in this manner. Other mods use FromSoft music and have received nothing. Primarily because it's not worth their time worrying if their music is being used in such a manner. Toby Fox certainly doesn't care, Materia Collective not so much. Materia got clowned on not too long ago because of this. What I'm illustrating here is how pointless it is for them to worry about things like this.

If you're gonna tell this mod to remove your music, I hope you are willing to waste your time telling other mods using your music to remove your music. It'd be strange to single out one mod in particular. If you don't, would you be opposed to someone making a music pack for Terroguelike that has your music? It'd be functionally the same thing as other music replacement mods. Or this mod using it, but apparently this mod using it is a problem.

Feel as though there was a more civil way to resolve this "Issue" than leaving a sarcastic and mean spirited comment in the mod's public forum ngl

You're going on a war path with free Terraria mods too? Going after Siivagunner and VGM remixers who make no money wasn't pathetic enough?

Damn, I thought Chris was based, but he turned out to be cringe. Being toxic to modding and fan content is the most bizarre take I see from rights holders. This makes 0 (zero) impact on revenue and sales of the works you own the rights too, but wanting to reserve those rights is entirely fair.

But making a sarcastic comment about them asking for permission, while in the process of working to update it without your music? That's just sad.

You are one of my all time greatest composers for indie games and even video games as a whole, up there with Lena Raine and Toby Fox. but you just ruined my impression of you as a person. Rights and rules above even the enjoyment of modding and gaming as a whole is whats important to you.

I own your whole discography on bandcamp, but I wont be looking forward to your next album because its tainted by this kind of personality. Make sure you copyright claim my 300 view video on youtube for using your music outside of gameplay if it matters so much to you.

I'm sorry, I'm all out of points giving awards to actually based people so I will not be affording the clown award for our dear residential clown... yet. Somebody remind me in a month, please and thank you!

How Chris feels after threatening to take down a mod that uses his music and properly credits it:

you and gearbox really deserve each other huh

you could do a commencement skip from how low he's reaching up to his ego.

Replace the Koppen in Koppen as ♥♥♥♥ with Cringe

Because apparently you thought hunting down a free mod making zero dollars was a good use of your time

#stoplisteningtovideogamemusic andy over here thinks anybody gives a ♥♥♥♥ about his opinion, nobody is going to give a ♥♥♥♥ about you after ror2 dies buddy! actual omega loser LMAO

you stink

"You only celebrate in the light... because I allow it." ahh mf

My next project will include the entire soundtrack of all the Risk of Rain games and dlcs!

Your literally the GRUMMZ of VGM I don’t even know how that’s possible bro….
