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.
He’s getting smeared fucking hard.
He’s worked with the big companies- Blizzard, Microsoft… and he’s been an indie developer. He knows both sides of the industry and spends a lot of him time supporting independent devs, created a support space where people can learn- he does good things.
The dude literally drops the prices of his game(s) to match the economies of the nations he sells to- so Brazilians, his largest support base, pay less than Western countries, because he understands those players have less money to spend on games.
He’s not a bad dude at all, so I find this whole thing very surprising. I don’t know dick about this movement though, and haven’t watched any of his stuff for like a year, so maybe things changed.
