#XLabs
Same as it ever was.

When will people learn that locking access to mods behind Patreon subscription gates is just asking for trouble? It's happened quite a few times now (CoD XLabs, Cyberpunk REAL VR, that one pokemon mod for palworld, etc. etc.), you think it'd sink in by now.

Ok so I just got sent a ton more gore. So much gore I lost count. Anyways they also sent some messages and drawings in there as well and it became glaring obvious that these were the same trolls from a month ago that sent rape threats. So these aren’t fans of Xlabs. My mistake.
Ok so… someone, I don’t know who sent actual real life child gore to my straw page. They sent 5 copies of the same image. I don’t think it’s unfair to say that it was because of this post. I don’t even know what to say honestly.

I feel empty.
Yeah no I’m making this public because this is genuinely unacceptable and a lot of you follow them. @/xlabproductions.bsky.social the hell is wrong with you? You’re a 20 year old man cussing out and breaching the privacy of a high school kid because they had an opinion about you.

Your awful

If you click through to the 'contact' info for this program you'll see the contact email is "xlabs@nsf.gov" and the contact phone number is "(blank)". The actual text of this solicitation is barely coherent.

100% a scheme to funnel critical NSF money to private companies with no oversight.
Cool, so NSF is now going to be used to essentially launder money to tech bros because universities are just too cumbersome and disciplinary oversight and regulations and accountability are all just too stifling for innovation.

$1.5B for “X-Labs.”

NSF's mission is to advance the progress of science, a mission accomplished by funding proposals for research and education made by scientists, engineers, and educators from across the country.

Imagine how fun COD could of been if we still had community based projects like:

H2M
SM2
XLabs & More

These projects should of been supported not shut down.

Instead corporate profit ruins everything.

Developers see players.
Publishers see payers.

The anti-DEI stuff is a direct attack on who constitutes the "we" in that sentence.

Use of taxpayer money is, I hope, fairly clearly political in even normal times.

Use of it for basic, curiosity driven research is also political, but extremely so now (see "XLabs" and Thiel's "tech slowdown").

they were completely silent when Valve took down mods for TF2 and Portal and some people even defended it

and Activision didn't get NEARLY as much backlash when they took down SM2 and XLabs

My university is cutting positions because of what they say are budget challenges due to enrollment. Meanwhile, we are expanding AI contracts, building contracts, and consulting contracts. It’s pretty easy to connect the dots. XLabs had $0 in the FY26 budget but will make awards this year. 🤷🏻‍♀️
