I wish people would stop sharing the false idea that #Godot has been "exploited" or "compromised".

No one is saying Visual Studio, Unity or Unreal has been exploited or compromised.

As the developer of the GodSVG vector graphics application, I want to make it clear I have no involvement with GodLoader. This has been the name for my application since day 1, because it had part of "Godot" and "SVG" in it.
