Ah, another post where I get to rant about Piratesoftware. Fuck that self righteous, egotistical, fear mongering, ignorant, big headed, grifting, skript kiddy, cornball. Dude couldn't be assed even to read the Q&A, then makes up stuff about the initiative out of thin air. Dude is such a little weezel, I can't BELIEVE he still has a following after his hate campaign against the initiative. The fact that anyone outside of his immediate family cares about what he has to say boggles my mind.
TLDR: Thor, not my cup of tea personally.
He's a dev himself. He won't be able to abandon his next game after it flops if this goes through. That's why he's spreading disinformation. I can only hope MoistCritikal's video on it helps.
Also, SKG should seek legal action for defamation.
See, this again. They can abandon their game, it's just that they have to patch out call home to function functionality. Patch out account verification and other bullshit. The game won't work like before? That's OK, it's about reasonable playability. MMO with no players? That's OK. No match making? That's OK. However it was playing before abandonment, just let that run on the computer.
Maybe the final law will ask for a local server client, but the petition is only asking for reasonable playability. Reasonable.
He is referring to the fact that the only game pirate software has made was abandoned 7 years ago in early access and the dude just keeps patching it without significant content to avoid steam flagging and keep charging money for an unfinished demo. It's an unimaginative ripoff to boot.
OK, I didn't know about that.
They certainly didn't conduct themselves in a polite or persuasive manner during their argument(s). As others have said in this thread: he has attacked everything but the topic and when they did they (purposefully) seemed very confused about the overall goal and desire of the campaign.
Is this a case of being wrong about your initial conclusions and doubling down? Or is this a bad actor spreading purposeful misinformation? Going by the video alone it's hard to see an alternative.
Louis Rossman is, at best, a "free speech absolutionist" libertarian, but he is probably the youtuber with the most experience actually working to get consumer (well, small business) rights legislature passed. And he specifically talked about this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TF4zH8bJDI8
In a nutshell: It doesn't matter if thor is a dipshit (he is and always has been). Attack the arguments, not the person. Because others will have similar complaints and all "He is a fucking prick and he didn't read the FAQ" does is hurt your argument and make things seem culty.
Because if it really WAS actually addressed (and understand that a response is not necessarily a refutation), point that out. Rather than require people to go dig through a bunch of youtube videos and blog posts.
The relevant actors in this discussion already tried to address the arguments. Ross made a response video because Thor refused to talk to him like a petulant child.
Thor simply doesn't care, his first comment to the initiative was literally "eat my whole ass"[sic]. The whole conversation is way past rational discourse. Thor decided to actively oppose the initiative under the main argument of "this is fucking stupid"(direct quote). There simply isn't any rational argument to address. It's all a personal attack and misinformation from a narcissist with an audience. He knows that this initiative kills his grift business. That's all there is to know about the content of his rationality.
I mean... Piratesoftware certainly went after the person.
