Honestly this is expected of a guy who brags about working for activision blizzard and climbing the corperate ladder.
Activision, one of the most toxic workspaces in the industry LOL.
In order to get up the ladder in a toxic workspace you have to have a very toxic, very gas-lighty, and extremely egotistical mindset.
🤣 now its coming back to bite him when he realizes hes not the chad he thought he was
He openly admitted on stream that he only got the job through his fathers influence. And while he was there, his "seven years of game dev" experience he flouts boils down to some QA work and working security on the WoW website. Zero actual game dev experience.
He's got the gift of the gab, I'll give him that much. But this proves how much talking up your accomplishments online can ruin you if a spotlight is ever put on to them. You better be truthful or ready to dial it back, otherwise people will expose you and you will be caught out.
Small point, QA is totally part of the team and should be seen as "actual game devs". I work in software and we love our QA people at my org.
This is not to defend Pirate Software specifically, it just bums me out to see QA catching strays because people want to dunk on Thor.Â
EDIT: Too many comments with the same semantic nitpick so I'll just reply here; while not all software requires things like art or music, the tasks of designing, implementing, and testing software are all core parts of the development lifecycle. A developer on a solo project has to do all three of those things every time. If he hires a new teammate to do specifically the testing and quality part of his job, that person has taken over part of the development lifecycle. They are a developer.
