Can't wait for him to see this and claim it was his plan the entire time

I mean, he's said before that shitty code doesn't make for a good or bad game. He gave examples of lots of successful games that have "bad" code and that it doesn't matter and people should just make games.

The difference is that 30 Rock is not doing it to be mean spirited.

Can't wait for him to see this and claim it was his plan the entire time

I think the root comment is just memeing? But I see your point, it's not funny. (Or it shouldn't be.)

I watch this dude sometimes, he says he's a fulltime game dev but all I see him do is play other games. The game he works on has seen very little progress.

Would be nice if he at least admits he's a streamer and not a game dev.

And if you know anything about what he's talking about, you quickly realize that in fact he does not know it all.

Can I be a big time Twitch celebrity too if I doodle a series of completely nondescriptive boxes and link them with little lines in MS Paint as I talk?

I've also noticed this from watching his stream and the more I learn about the guy the less I like him. He seems to misrepresent and oversell himself quite a bit.

Btw did he tell you about the time he worked at Blizzard, for the millionth time?

Absolute fucking clown. He's just scared of open sourcing old games because everyone will see how shitty his code is...

For those who don't know, this streamer is only tangentially related to the stop killing games petition because he made a comment about it being BS because he misinterpreted what it was supposed to do. He used his misinterpretation to spread false information about this petition leading to it not getting the support it initially should have.

When the guy behind the petition made a statement saying he didn't think the petition was going to get enough signatures in part because of the misinformation being spread about it, PirateSoftware doubled down on his false claims and all of this lead to people doing the research they should have done in the first place and deciding to support the petition after all.

What we should probably be learning from this is that we should do our own research, and find out things instead of taking the word of random people online.

Edit: electric has brought to my attention that it wasn't just one clip, but in fact a whole video dedicated to spreading misinformation that was made by Thor from PirateSoftware. Just wanted to be clear about that.

At best we get fresh new EULA's to click through on our way to play our game.

I've signed a lot of petitions over the years, and I'd sign this one too, but it's pretty naive to think this will actually do anything useful.

What u attempt to accomplish? Maintaining games also takes time and effort and server costs and they likely kill them to save costs.

There is no way this petition is gonna do anything

I hate having to hear his obnoxious voice because my sister watches him all the fuckin' time.

What does "just memeing" mean here?

he also cheats in single player puzzle games

of course there is no way to definitely prove that, which was probably an intentional tactic, but certain puzzles he "solved" in "hours" took a whole community weeks to figure out (brute force was the only way) and there's no way he's just happened to guess the right answer

But that's not even what Stop Killing Games is about...

I kinda hate the guy so it's hard for me to keep the tone neutral but I'll try my best.

Long story short: He's a popular streamer that had a few controversies that caused many people labelled him as arrogant or egotistical.

The latest one is his take on the "stop killing games" initiative that he was against. He had a video a few months ago were he misrepresentated the movement and spread misinformation (whether or not this was intentional or misinformed is up for debate) and caused a significant drop in the momentum of the movement, refusing to accept any criticism and doubling down on things. That was until recently were the initiative was in the last month and a half before the big deadline at only around 50% of the required signatures, but then huge momentum sprung up with a lot of people marking him as the "villain" of the movement and because of his controversy before it wasn't long before word spread.

This has obviously led to harassment of the guy(which I feel is too far personally) which he responded to by tripling down on his opinion causing further being labelled as the villain. Eventually the momentum carried it over the finish and people are happy that he didn't get his way.

A comment? Am I misreading your comment or is this just ignorance of the situation? Because PirateSoftware made a whole ass video on the subject way back (the one allegedly rife with misinformation). I remember it on my feed when the campaign was getting traction, but didn't watch it because my view of him was souring.

From what clips I've seen*, PirateSoftware misinterprets the majority of what he addressed. Either maliciously or unknowingly, which is why he was blamed for tanking momentum since that video did get a ton of views (before people wised up to him being a total cunt).

*Yes I know the irony of what I just said there after reading your last paragraph. I believe these terminally online streamers because I would not put it past PirateSoftware to be this awful after watching his videos for a small period and then the subsequent controversies coming out.
