This initiative can eat my ass, the whole thing. It can eat my entire ass

Its like the most used clip in almost any coverage of this, I don't get why you keep asking as if its not a well documented thing.

You act like I'm living in the same rage mill you all are. Clearly I'm not. I'm familiar with PirateSoftware, but I dont follow all this shit. It is rage that has apparently been festering over a year and I am only just learning about it over the last week or two as the petition was hitting its goal, much of which I spent 16+ days working in the family fireworks stores. I am also at work now, about to leave. I googled the quote on my lunch break and couldn't find the video. Forgive me for asking for a source so I could see for myself.

Rage mill? The only one here that seems to be getting upset is you.

This is likely the end of pirate software (at least as he was), there is no rational reason to try and pick fights over this.

Where do you get that I'm picking fights? I'm telling people they need to calm down over a complete non-issue. Feel free to browse my post history to confirm. Scroll past the mayo jokes and discourse around time travel and spacetime.

And yeah, rage mill. Googling this story shows dozens and dozens of angry response videos or celebrating the SKG milestone as a victory over PirateSoftware, hundreds of hate posts calling him a liar (about seemingly everything, not just this), and a ton of news stories about the situation, about death threats and swatting and the guy stepping away from his indie studio over an opinion he expressed on a topic relevant to his work a year ago. Yes, rage mill.

And I am telling you (not likely the only one) that this is very much a real issue. What you are looking at is someone killing their career over the need of their ego to double down over and over. They have become a figurehead of the worst part of the games industry.

This is not going to "go away" anytime soon, and as Thor is still digging deeper will only get worse.

I mean this guy was just about the only opponent to this petition, he went HARD and is now being dumped on.

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Again, I ask. Who cares? Like you said, he's just about the only one in opposition. The Petition is successful. His career is in shambles. Why is everyone still shitting on the guy. Why are people still posting about him and harassing him and the studio he worked for. Why not just move on even though he continues to disagree with you. How does that affect anyone now?

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Again, I answer. A lot of people.

This man has allowed his hubris and ego to destroy him, a story people like to see. The petition is not yet done and is now getting hate articles done on it (odd that). People are still posting about him as he is now the poster child of a shitty industry most dislike. The harassing of the studio he worked for is news to me (and I think a lot of people as it does not seem to have yet happened).

People who "move on" like you are talking about are a modern day plague, its how we get the absolute clown world we now live in. Have some principle and integrity.

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's a pretty twisted way to view the world. We are fundamentally different kinds of people. I think are done here. No way we will agree on anything if that's how you think.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

I am not sure you can say that after trying to tell people how to act.

If being active and engaged on a topic is a "twisted way to view the world" then why are you here on Lemmy?
