  • After this, rumours were spread about the creator being reported to ICE by others in the Fallout fanbase.
  • The creator calls this "pure fiction", and calls out the racist abuse they have received.

Fallout: Nuevo Mexico, an incredibly promising expansio𒐪n mod for Fallout: New Vegas, was 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:cancelled earlier this week. Speaking in the project's discord, lead developer Zapshock✨ said that work on the mod wasn't "sustainable" for themself and the team, and they instead needed to prioritise their mental health.

Since then, viral social media posts have claimed𒅌 that the "real" reason the mod was cancelled is because Zapshock was reported to ICE by others in the Fallout community. Screenshots of an apparent Discord conversation, in which Zapshock appeared to dox themself and admit to entering the United States without a Visa, were used as evidence. These posts were a magnet for further racism against Zapshock, and many shared the✱ story believing it was true.

The wasteland should be terrifying, not a sandbox for ou♎r po🌸wer fantasy.

Fallout: Nuevo Mexico Creator Says Deportation Rumours Are "Pure Fiction"

These claims spread widely on social media shortly after the project's cancellation

"A free mod project, that’s what these racist clowns are losing their minds over," says Zapshock. "A project that cost the﷽m nothing, that took nothing from them. A project made with passion, skill, and vision, something they could never build the𒈔mselves.

"They saw someone of a different nationality making it, and suddenly, 🌼it became 'woke' and offensive to them. Suddenly I'm an inferior human being that has le⭕ss rights."

Zapshock goes on to address the 🦂claims being shareꩵd online, calling it a "manufactured controversy".

"For years, other modders in this community have spread bulls**t, twisted narratives, and manufactured drama all because they꧃ couldn’t stand someone else doing something better than them," they write. "I know deep down that they’re the same ones who invented this story, wꦍho fed it to an audience desperate for something to cling to. They didn’t have anything real to go off of. Every lie they’ve tried to push over the years has failed. And just like those? This one is pure fiction."

Fallout: Nuevo Mexico started development in 2021. It was going to be a huge undertaking, similar to other fan-made expansions like Fallout: London, which launched last year. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:It got a big trailer last October, giving us an idea of what we could have expectꦇed if it had launched, as it imagined Mexico in t𒆙he Fallout universe.
