Sure. And the GMC was, and is curated. By many volunteers. Chronic, Xot, KC LC, to name a few, all the way up to yourself.
But the additional argument of 'well, it was 99% garbage anyway, so we're going to just delete it is simply "rude and selfish". It flips the basis that this forum has always operated on it's head, and is pretty disrespectful to not only hours of content the users themselves have created, but also the staff who 'curated' that content.
And
@Mike, we get it: GMS is your baby.
You know, they are doing a great job. And they aren't complaining, but it would be preeetty cool if YYG's *did* throw a bone to these guys, and anyone else who contributes to converting these great tutorials to GMS2 for YYG's for free.
Like maybe, say, gift a few extra Developer exports? Wouldn't be the worst idea to gift a bunch of exports to people who *like* spending their time creating tutorials and content for the community for free. And it'd be a nice goodwill gesture of YYG's, after Thanos-ing the old GMC. Maybe something to mention at your next meeting with the YYGs?.
