Seems to me he's setting himself up for some Eloraam-like annoyance. If you abandon your modding project, you can't bitch about it later if and when someone else picks it up. And in this case at least, the abandonment is explicit.This isn't exactly the first time. He pulled his mod after the Erik EULA reddit fiasco as well, before eventually picking up again. If this is how he deals with uncertainty, then he shouldn't be modding for any game. In the end, everyone is worse off. He wasted a tremendous amount of time and anyone else interested in making a creative plant mod may have been discouraged because 'there's already that mod'.
