          Than he has really lost it. Leaving a game that people paid for in a playable state is the least a developer/publisher can do.

      Whats wrong with PirateSoftware? He runs a ferret rescue which doesn’t claim any tax incentives and he teaches people about security and ethics, I’ve never heard of him having beef with anyone.

        Yeah he seems pretty positive and helpful, so did his bias mislead him on this one?

        Also I wasn’t even sure he was still a huge fan of his former employer—but now that I think of it I guess he was really pleased with his time there, cuz he’s proud of his ban wave strategies and stuff

          He tends to be condescending, toxic, and dishonest. I happened to watch this video the other day that covers a fair bit of stuff including the stop killing games petitions, if you’ve got 20 minutes.

          Things like

          • completely misrepresenting the stop killing games initiative.
          • removed for quite a while that “someone” pulled a mob during a world of warcraft raid causing a wipe, going back to see who it was to remove them, seeing it was himself and then justifying why it was now the right call.
          • running away from his group in world of warcraft in a fight claiming he has no mana, while he’s wasting moves to drain the last of his mana and he has ways of getting around half of it back. This was during some kind of creater guild thing where if you die you lose your character. So abandoning his team to save himself and lying about it.
          • banning/blocking everyone who criticizes or corrects him on these things
          • DMCA’d and threatened legal action on an indie dev for a parody game that included him as a cockroach.
