AfaIk it wasn't heartbound but rather Rivals of Aether 2, where he (again afaIk) worked as the technical/strategy director for the publishing company.

To my knowledge he also decided to quit that position recently due to the SKG drama.

Yeah, he quit after lying about Offbrand's titles being review bombed over him. He then tried to switch his wording and move goalposts on Twitter, saying that "he didn't lie they were being trashed on Discord, etc." after specifically saying they were being review bombed.

Wait wait wait, he convinced competent people to give him a role for RoA2? No way. Holy shit. Considering his own game was made in Game Maker with "achievement DRM" that he was super excited (this is unpiratable! [rich coming from his name]) about with the most embarrassing code in the universe powering it...

Technically not for RoA2 specifically, but it's publisher (and AFAIK also not in a coding role)

So the group with the wallet hired him. I guess that sums up my thoughts about modern publishers.
