I'm pretty sure this is the same guy who was ranting about Godot "being woke" last year lol

Drama aside, I'm just glad to read the goal was reached. Hopefully something comes of the effort.

Pretty weird guy, honestly. Seems competent, but spends too much time complaining about other people instead of working on his own stuff.

[–] gurnu@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Exactly, seems competent. But only seems, he's a narcissistic nepobaby who just can't admit he's in the wrong be it in video games or real life.

I just can't understand why anyone would follow a piece of shit like him

Woah, how can you say that? Don't you know he worked for blizzard!

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

He did? Weird, never mentioned it.

Review bomb where? On their page they link to Steam, where they have one released game (95% positive) and two demos (one unrated, second 90% positive).

Alright, so no review bombing going on then, as Twitter is full of dumbfucks anyway and can burn to the ground, and who the hell goes on Discord to review a game? It seems like it was about harassment, and not review bombing.

OP is mistaken. PirateSoftware defended Godot official and pointed out the actual perpetrator of hate was a mod of an unofficial fan discord. Someone else posted a clip of it in this thread.

[–] ampy@discuss.online 10 points 1 week ago

I guess they woke up and made a good open source game engine?

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 9 points 1 week ago

That actually happened, but not from this PirateSoftware guy. The anti-woke godoters made their own fork, Redot, which, as you might have expected, doesn't do jack shit other than offering cosmetic changes

Honestly, very smart and humble move, he certainly got hit with a ton of bad press for his opposition to the petition and that would have impacted the game studio's sales.

[–] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What has this Pirate Software released? I'm not familiar with their games

So I’m confused what exactly did he dislike about the movement? Seems like a solid one to me.

[–] burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

its difficult to know why he did what he did because he apparently misinterpreted what the point of the petition is and then spiraled right down a toilet from there
