yeah i think you totally missed the part where he said that "maps forgeted over any possibility of better future updates"
It's not like he's done so much since removing maps. It seems like he removed maps to make the game more marketable. The game looked like stuff (still looks mediocre but the shaders helped) and in order to do shaders effectively he had to remove maps.
I'm not going to pretend I don't miss maps. People say they were an excuse not to build but I feel like the best builds this game has ever seen came before v20. Maps were pretty much the only reason to use vehicles/skis in my opinion, the vehicle collision is still really crappy when it faces bricks, even on modter it's not ideal.
If Badspot had done more updates after removing maps, then I'd be cool with his decision. But nothing super gamechanging has come out of his decision yet, IMO. It just seems like he was going for the Greenlight cashgrab, with promises of updates that never came.
