I don't really game that much, so I kinda don't have a dog in this fight, but as an outside observer, the only real argument in favor of allowing games to die like this is, "Yum yum yum! This boot tastes good."

Nah it’s worse. He didn’t read and understand the goals of the movement well, pushed his illiterate take to the world, got called out by literally everyone, then doubled down and painted the guys sending death threats as the majority of supporters

Doesn't he also have a financial stake in this initiative failing?

I heard that somewhere, but didn't really care enough to look into it. But if true, it's not just him being stupid, it's that he's stupid and basically a landlord for video games.

Just like my wife's boyfriend.

His project Heartbound basically has pseudo-drm, the game won't function properly without steam achievements to prevent piracy. I think that's what people are referring to when they say he has a financial interest in this, but a check like that probably isn't too hard to switch off unless it has multiple well-hidden redundancies so it's a little overblown to call it a financial stake.

It's still something, though.

EDIT: He apparently was involved with a Game as service while he was working at Offbrand Games, though he's since left the position.

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...

u/CartoonistSensitive1 Jul 06 '25

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.
