If I had a nickel for every time an Ex-Blizzard employee turned out to be a scamming gooner, I’d have two nickels and wonder when I’d get a third
Fuck pirate software. He derailed the conversation on stopkillinggames with his disingenuous straw man arguments.
He’s one of the most pretentious fucks I’ve seen.
“$80 games are bad for the games industry!”
There, I didn’t have to be a shill to say this.
Oh shit. Actually I completely forgot about that. I really didn’t like his takes on that …
I think he was arguing that it was going to be hugely costly to the developer to keep games running after the fact and how difficult it was going to be. I really wanted to give him a fair shake but it really did feel full of straw man stuff because the stopkillinggames stuff wasn’t really about that.
I couldn’t give less of a shit what this dumbfuck thinks about anything.
This individual is a grifter as well as being a grown man that solicits donations from minors.
Even a broken clock I guess?
Another shill take from the rat, what a surprise
I mean, what do you expect him to do? He has no mana.
In that case, I expect him to drink more booze
Did you watch a different video than I did?
Pirate Software has a lot of haters because he acts like a know it all and gets into arguments with people. I’m sensing people are just downvoting this video because it’s him and don’t care that in it he says pricing games at $80+ is pure greed from corporate studios that will likely tank the games industry.
He got mad at me and much of his community over concerns about decisions he was making for “block game”. We stated our concerns kindly and politely, and he got mad and deleted an entire discord channel because we didn’t agree with him and made good points that he couldn’t refute. I lost all respect for him after that.
Oh I dunno, I avoid a lot of drama and just watch his takes on YouTube. Didn’t realize Lemmy really hated this guy (deserved or not).
It’s a shame he reacted that way to you, not cool just deleting the discussion.
[edit] to the downvoters *to this current comment *… on the original post it’s fine but for this specific one go fuck yourself, have a horrible day [/edit]

I don’t really have it in me to hold enough of a grudge against a YouTuber to be one of their “haters”, but even I’m not a fan of Pirate Software due to the Stop Killing Games mess he put out. Still, the comment I responded to seemed completely disconnected from the video linked here.
Just look at the hate filled messages in this thread. He shares his opinion on video games but people act like he spreads bigotry and prejudice. He doesn’t want to sign a petition to regulate video games. He’s allowed to have an opinion.
It’s not some fucking witch hunt. He’s a pretentious asshole, who thinks he is better than everyone else.
And yes people can have their own opinions, but he misrepresented the goals of the petition on purpose. Then he refused to debate it with someone (who knows what the petition was actually about) on live when called out.
On top of that he deleted ross’s comment, rebuking his shit opinions. How much more of dickhead can you get?

He is just a nepo libertarian shill who has no real balls or mana.

Right, but there are people who are openly Nazis. I get that he’s got an ego but he doesn’t seem to have hateful views. I just find the amount of hate he attracts just for being a know it all seems way out of proportion.
the whataboutism is ignorant.

He is also a grifter. Why would you be surprised that content from a fraudster (irrespective of whether a “know it all persona” is used in marketing or not) gets downvoted?
And generally, there is reason to be skeptical of content from gaming content creators that does not directly concern games (pricing and inflation is a much broader topic). There are much better sources for such discussions.
