Hey @StayAtHomeDev and @colosoglobal, I messaged you three days ago asking you to remove my name from the student review section of your paid course immediately. You acknowledged it was wrong on Thursday and promised to fix it. It's still there, three days later, during your launch sale. You used an old comment I left on a public YouTube video and took it out of its context to make it look like I'm personally recommending your "class" before it's even available. I can't speak for @uheartbeast and @ThisIsDarkDax, but regardless, their comments look like they've been taken out of context too. Apart from being misleading to your customers, it's a false attribution. You understand this should have been considered an urgent website update, right? Because it's making real people appear as though they said things about your product that they didn't. It's not something you let slide over the weekend during a sales campaign before taking it down. It's your choice to base your $200 video course on a free and publicly available demo, environment, models and characters that we released under CC-By 4.0. But it's pretty sketchy to vaguely list "assets" as a course perk and a "special gift from StayAtHomeDev". Then it's a whole different level altogether to make it sound like we also endorse the product. Remove the comment and GDQuest's logo immediately. There's room for everyone in education, Godot, and gamedev to get honest recommendations and keep competition healthy and ethical. P.S. Thanks for the creative commons attribution in thin grey font at the bottom of a section dedicated to your own portfolio and only after I mentioned the license. Much appreciated.
