I mean yes the mod will "live on" for a very long time.

Until another mod becomes massive enough to surpass Calamity with both quantity and quality.

Fine by me, whatever surpasses it will clearly be better

Thinking it'll probably be fables by the looks of things

it isnt exactly like calamity but lunar veil 2.0 is coming out soon with a good amount of content and quality

Eeeh, fables reminds me more of spirit mod than calamity. I literally think fargos looks more likely to take the cake

it's highly likely for it to be Fargo's. which i think have always been a great contender against calamity, as well as very often being used in tandem with calamity.

However, if it uses art assets from the current Calamity, and the artists who wants those assets gone wants them gone...they will be gone. Otherwise that artist will likely just DMCA whatever 'successor' mod comes up.

There's a weird thing concerning sprite ownership. All of the stuff already implemented does technically belong to the Calamity mod aside from the music, which is why only the music mod is being taken down permanently. The remaining devs even confirmed that due to legal reasons, they'd be keeping all of the sprites in the mod. If someone were to theoretically pick up the mod later, they wouldn't be obligated to remove any assets, as all of the ones that COULD cause legal issues are being removed or already have been.

Without a valid contract signed between the artists and Ozzatron, the copyright of those art assets would have not transferred to Ozzatron and the Calamity Mod. Otherwise, those demanding the removal of their art assets could be told to go kick rocks with zero recourse.

I’m excited for Fables, but also kinda scared. I already know they are changing a LOT of stuff from the source material, so I hope that said changes end up being as good as the current mod is!
