There are hundreds (if not thousands) of YouTube videos showing it off, the Wiki has a page dedicated to it (and another to the items you can spawn using it), and many people just want to play with the build tools without constantly fighting off enemies or having to spend hours chopping down trees. opening the console and typing ghost, god, fly, and spawn are simple and effective tools to allow someone to do exactly that.

There's not a single-player building game that I'm aware of that doesn't enable some sort of "sandbox", so shouting about people "corrupting the pure Viking experience" just makes you look like a purist, gatekeeping jerk.

As for why I would think they would put some thought into the dev commands... well, the dev commands exist; that is to say, the devs made the commands. I doubt that was done accidentally, or without thinking about it. Dev commands exist to make the devs' and playtesters' lives easier when they're bug-hunting and developing content, among other things, so doing it all haphazard and willy-nilly seems a bit absurd.

Where did I say anything about "corrupting the pure Viking experience"?

I don't care who uses the devcommand or what they use them for. I use devcommands sometimes, but I accept them for what they are, and don't make comments like "it just makes it look like the devs can't code their way out of a wet paper bag".

I've seen you make several posts about toxic comments on the forums, most of them valid, but don't you think the above comment and the unjustified "purist, gatekeeping jerk" comment is a bit on the toxic side?
