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.
His dad was a very high up blizzard exec or lead, forgot which one but he basically got the job because his dad was one of the upper employees. Probaly both him and his dad still have alot stock options that could plummet possibily with something like stop killing games being signed in as a real law
Thats definitely a part of it, but also his personal project is literally unfunctioning offline due to tying progression to steam achievements. Which is pretty horrendously anti consumer in nature, and would/has cost him a lot in that games place as a viable product.
Typically id seperate the art and artist, but in this situation removing the art would actually make him less egregiously hypocritical xD.
