Future of Genesis, Lambda Unknown

You may have heard over the past few days that the future of the popular Kodi add-on Genesis in uncertain. Read the latest on the future of Genesis here.

With the release of Genesis 5.1.3, creator lambda left a message for fans of the Genesis add-on that said:

I am also thinking stoping Genesis development.
I can’t add anything to it anymore, they keep breaking everything because of the high traffic it sends.
It is installed by way too many people, and I can’t add anything to it anymore.
It keeps breaking all the time.
So it’s logical killing it and developing a new addon with a new addon id.
If the same happens with the new addon, do the same and the same.

Continuing on about the future of Genesis, lambda also posted:

A year ago this addon (gotv/gomovies days) had only vkbox as a hd source, all other sources were sd.
People that used the addon back then where not stupid people that bought a box thinking they are so smart that they fooled paid services like netflix and can have a netflix for free.
These users have left this thread and I don’t blame them.
I am considering to do the same tooImage may be NSFW.

This addon has become way too popular and I have to take all the crap of this userbase.
This addon has become something like a “protection” for other addon developers against this userbase lol
It doesn’t worth it anymore.

And now, TVADDONS administrator s7eele has posted a message in the official Genesis add-on thread:

The thread has been closed while lambda decides on a way forward. Please be patient.

If you want to show your support for the amazing things lambda has done for the community I think having patience as he decides on a way forward would be the most effective and most appreciated way. Do not leave posts anywhere on the forum suggesting the solution is charging a fee of some sort, lambda has gone to GREAT lengths to make it clear that Genesis was free and always would be.

Regarding the future of Genesis, not much is known for sure right now. Lambda is a great developer for the Kodi community and if he decides to step away, temporarily or permanently, it would be a huge blow to all of us. It really is unfortunate that people are selling Kodi boxes at a premium price by calling it “pre-loaded” when it really just has Genesis installed.

Whatever Genesis decides, there will be a massive Kodi community to support him along with all of the other great Kodi developers that get content to us.
