I’m pretty sure this is the same guy who was ranting about Godot “being woke” last year lol

    The YouTuber noted that his opinion on the initiative has led players to review-bomb the company’s new releases. To avoid further harm to their reputation, he’s terminated the partnership indefinitely. “I am no longer working at Offbrand Games,”

    The damage is done now. He isn’t likable, took a big loss on his part, almost took down his collabs with himself.

    Let this be a lesson in being humble about your public appearence. He’s essentially being featured in some questionable forums, I believe. This was absolutely not worth it for him.

      I don’t understand why he’s getting flamed so hard. I get that it’s an unpopular take, but the reaction is way overboard. Why is the community like this?

        Unpopular take is a bit of an understatement. He called the entire movement shit and trashtalked it instead of just disagreeing. He also, after all the responses, doubled down and said he hopes “the movement gets want it wants, but not what it needs.”

        It’s also not really a one off situation from PirateSoftware

        This just served as a way for others to shed light on how scummy he is as a person in general.

          Is there some kind of summary I can read? I don’t follow him and only read a couple articles about the situation and it didn’t seem all that bad. But maybe it was.

          The one video I half watched was him defending Godot from people overexaggerating, so I don’t see evidence of him being a scummy person in general.
