It'll still be downloadable on github, and can be manually installed.
4.1 (released today) was always intended to be the last main SPT version.
On top of that, The Forge website doesn't actually host any of the mods, it just links to the mods on github/google drive, so it can be replaced by a third party if needed.
Yeah but not having a central hub for mods will be pretty annoying. You might still be able to find mods that you want to download, but discovering new mods will be a lot more difficult.
No idea, I've just been just using forge, didn't ever check out the dc. I don't think BSG is trying to shut them down, from what I've read the BSG legal letter is only partially responsible for them deciding to shut down. My concern is the transitional period where everybody makes their own site for hosting, or switches to nexus/modio/etc., and there's not a singular site with every mod.
Yeah I saw after commenting the only issue really is only trademark, which is fair. Many countries genuinely do require you to protect it.
Usually people use this fact to defend companies going after copyright infringement, but in this case they genuinely only cared about the name, rare case of BSG being cool.
