Genuine curiosity - I didn't mean for the question to be misleading (and I'm still jot quite sure how it is).
I know that historically gambling sites have paid to have oss projects link to them in order to make them look more reputable to search engines, but search engines use different heuristics now I know.
I've also read of projects actively rejecting gambling sponsors or taking their money but refuse to publicly acknowledge the sponsorship. Taking the money without linking to the gambling site kinda makes sense to the gambling site if they use Godot and want to support it, but then why would Godot still link to them in that case?
I'm just curious why Godot is willing to tarnish their reputation, and also what yhe gambling company stands to gain from being linked to by Godot.

Obvious questions phrased to imply misleading statements is what would attempt to tarnish their reputation, thankfully it's a fairly transparent attempt so I expect it will be mostly ignored. > why would Godot still link to them in that case?

- pabs3 3y agoWhenever I see such links, I assume the website has been hacked, its always weird to see open source projects accept such dubious sponsors.
- throwawaypml 3y agoI don't get your point... you would rather they hide the fact by not linking ??? I much prefer the transparency.
