    Hi, for a while an addon called "Universal AI 2.0" was very popular on the asset store. It was released like early this month and had a pretty active Discord server. Come today, I go to check on it and the Discord server is deleted AND the addon and entire publisher are deleted from the Asset Store.

    What was that all about? I did download the addon while it was still active. Do I possibly have a virus now or what? I wish the asset store would give a reason for what happened. It just says "Deprecated".

    The user woke up today to find they have been fully hacked.
    Emails, asset store etcetc.

    They have communicated that they will not let this get them down. But will focus on their personal studies instead, as I can imagine recovery of this scale could be impossible.

    Really unfortunate, I had that one on a "to get" list too..

    Thanks for the reminder to refresh some backups and be more consistent with using different passwords, I guess ._.'

    Dude, what? This is so unexpected. I have been really getting into this asset and implementing it heavily into my game only to find that it no longer exists. Do you have a link to where he explains the situation?

    Our group was concerned about their health so we went the extra to try to get in contact once we noticed this occured.

    Amazing! I'm so happy to see that. I'm really sorry for what happened to you and I'm so glad it's coming back, because it really was/is the best AI there is! Looking forward to how it's going :)

    Hey there everyone! Darking Assets here again.

    We couldn’t publish it on the store, so we made it open-source. Hope everyone can use it :) thanks!

    Hi there. Just discovered this awesome tool and began tinkering with it. I tried to join the discord but every links are expired. Same on your github and website. Is the discord shutdown ?

    Sound's unlikely that you can't publish.
    Rebranding and renaming assets is a option and has been done before.

    I really want AI2.0 to have some succes because it was soo much better than eAI 2 or 3.

    Some publishing could be restricted for example due to licenses involved that prohibit for profit but remixes and releases allowed.

    TBH I think bro scammed us. It’s been a year since he promised to give us Universal AI 2.0. I understand that he got scammed and left everything, but that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t release the 2.0 update that he had promised earlier.
