Beloved Terraria Mod Shut Down Following Sexual Misconduct Allegations, Creators Reportedly Turn Down Streamer xQc's Offer to Save It

A popular Terraria mod, known as Calamity, is shutting down following allegations of sexual misconduct against its lead developer, Ozzatron. The mod, which adds more content to the game, has faced controversy surrounding its leaders. Ozzatron allegedly participated in an NSFW Discord server with minors and was accused of grooming minor members.

His previous leader, Fabsol, was also accused of grooming minors in 2022. Ozzatron has reportedly turned down an offer to save the mod from streamer xQc, who volunteered to purchase the mod and hire the development team. The team behind Calamity believes that continuing development would be too difficult due to the numerous issues surrounding the project, and they have decided to shut it down.
