Feeling uncomfortable about corporate donations

P-Star7

So I noticed that a new feature was added because some corporations decided to donate it to the project after buying it.

Doesn't this have bad implications about the future of Godot being controlled by corporate and business/money interests (as in, paying to get Godot to do specific stuff instead of just paying the developers to do whatever they want)?

I don't think so. Nobody paid money to get a feature added to the official Godot builds. They (AdPod) just allowed it to be added.

And such ‘respectable’ corporate sponsors at that: a blockchain flybynight and an online gambling pusher. What, no porn publishers interested yet?
