KOTOR 2 Cut Content Dev Says Aspyr "Did Nothing Wrong" Despite DLC Cancellation

thegamer.com:

Last night, Aspyr confirmed what many of us had already suspected: DLC for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 on Switch has been cancelled. This DLC would have ported the huge restored content mod to console for the first time, allowing players on Switch to experience KOTOR 2 the way the original devs intended. Now, amidst pushback from fans, one of the creators of this mod has rushed to Aspyr's defence, suggesting this isn't the studio's fault the DLC was canned.

Zbyl2, one of the modders who created The Sith Lords Restored Content Modification which was meant to be KOTOR 2's DLC, left this statement on a thread regarding the cancellation, responding to disappointed fans. Here, they said that Aspyr "did nothing wrong," throwing his support behind the developer that has come under a lot of fire recently - and even got booted off the remake of the first KOTOR game.

"The TSLRCM team won't have any updates for you so please don't message them for any information on the status of the DLC," reads a message from the entire modding team. "We are in the same boat that you all are."

Zbyl2, however, didn't want to leave it there and responded with his own message: "That's a boring statement. Here's my actual take [...] Aspyr did nothing wrong. Quote me on that. Shame it ended the way it did."

While not giving us a clear version of events, it's clear that Zbyl2 doesn't want anyone to believe that Aspyr decided to scrap the DLC out of malice, or sought to lie to buyers when the KOTOR 2 Switch port was announced. This is only speculation, but this statement could be implying that the decision was out of Aspyr's hands, perhaps even made by Embracer Group,
