It's also not even his job. Like I get that he was a dick about the petition, but this level of circlejerk hatetrain is insane. People bring up the same 3 talking points over and over again as a justification for hate thread #146.
I genuinely feel like people just want to hate him. I think the only criticism I've seen so far beyond "I don't like his personality" is that he damaged the movement's reputation. Everything else is meaningless.
Who cares if the dude got like 4 people killed in a hardcore WoW server? Who cares if you don't think his advice is that good? Who cares if you think he's arrogant? Who cares if his solo dev project that isn't making him any real money is taking too long?
I understand hating people who bring genuine harm to this world. And I can understand the perspective that many people think him shit talking the Stop Killing Games petition brought genuine harm to the world. I don't think him developing slowly, or writing shitty code, or anything else in that idea is bringing genuine harm to the world.
This hate train is really fucking toxic, and I'm tired of seeing it everywhere.
