"Hey, here's some shit we threw together without knowing what we were doing" is a weird marketing tactic.
I'm sure they're doing it more to promote Godot rather than themselves, but it looks really weird with my consumer hat on.
Edit: FFS, I wasn't trying to disparage them. The hostility in the replies here is really disappointing.
Edit 2: Or maybe I'm just in a bad mood today.
What a weird take
I know Louis CK is kinda on the out for references, but this was kinda spot on his bit about entitlement.
"Something (given out for free) that I didn't even know about until today, and is just a fun experiment to share and learn from? Not good enough!"
I didn't say it wasn't good enough. I said they way they pitched it is a strange way to entice people to play it.
