Thank you, Thor! 🥳

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.
He may well have done but the only clip I have seen is the one where someone asks about it while he's streaming games and he responded to that person with misinformation.

Ah. Makes sense. I caught a stream once and he pretty much just did discussions with the chat. A lot of his videos were just cuts from his streams when someone asked.

It's one possible solution for one of the problems under the same umbrella. If you can't or don't want to run the servers for your online game (eg: Echo VR), just open source the server's code and let the community keep the game running.
But even then it's astronomically unlikely to be retroactively enforced. Old games will be grandfathered in and it would apply only to future game releases.

You don't need to open source the code to release the server binaries.

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?
Definitely. Especially if you have large breasts.
Do I have to be a woman also or are the breasts enough?

But you could open source it and have the community figure it out themselves

Very unlikely. He hasn't made any content covering the initiative yet.
You mean, after the shit he put out that was complete bs?
-
Not sure if it's still the case, but the code of balatro was a single giant file with if cases for every card
Bad code can make great games. But it will also make them very hard to maintain
It can alsoake fes that perform way worse than they have anything to. See yandere simulator for example

In Ross' video, IIRC, he said 110% was good, 120% was pretty safe, and 140% was very safe.
edit: Correct autocorrect.
200% it shall be!

He probably still does not understand what it's about

Undertale also has really bad code and it's a great game

Of course, but the point is that it isn't a factor in Thor's decision.

The latter works better, then you can go full Lily Tino when called out and 'attacked' for the obvious BS.
-
Sounds an awful lot like what YandereDev did when he was still relevant.
yanderedev is always relevant
-

Wings of Redemption makes it work... ok. He doesn't make it work at all.

"If you're a big fat man, I'm a titty fan, and I'd love to see yours, too!"

I've just heard so many of the same excuses for even scummier people over the years of always shifting the blame to justify whatever is necessary to get the bag. The excuses seem ever less convincing.
I think you're confusing 'excuse' for 'reason' here. no one is excusing his behavior, just pointing out that the reason he does it is because the system allows for this kind of behavior. we can see through the veil, but others are being hooked by it because it's designed to keep you hooked.
it's the same with other charismatic always online personalities. they're really good at spinning their bs and people keep eating it up because it sounds good.

I wish he’d stop getting any kind of attention at all. He is a fraud.

I know it's not going to happen, but I would love it if legislation could go as far as requiring companies to open-source their engines and servers after maybe a period of time, or on ending support for the game. It could be done ID-style where the company retains full rights of the content and trademarks, which would still require players to buy the game to legally play it.
I'm aware there are a lot of cases where games include middleware that's licensed from 3rd parties that complicate preservation efforts. But if open-sourcing the code is the path taken, there's a simple solution for that: just release what you can, even if what's released is in an unplayable state without the middleware. It then becomes the responsibility of any volunteers to take that code and bring it back to a usable state however they choose.
This drama highlights that there's still a great need for better computer literacy. Anyone with even a basic education in how software, source-code, and software licensing works can tell PirateSoftware is full of shit pretty much immediately. That is, anyone educated who are themselves not grifters.

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.
"game dev" is a way to put it
