This dude often has super good takes.

This dude often has deeply misinformed takes.

This dude often doubles down on misinformed takes.

Stop being drawn to confidence.

I like him for being bold and more often right than he is wrong.

I wish he were more philosophical and open to being wrong.

I wish that ideal of him could positively affect all of the gaming community and wider society.

Maalus,

He is often wrong and uses his following to bully people. Then it turns out his following is shit at games and gets them killed on sight ingame for it, so he quits the game leaving a guild of a few thousands of people that is at war with everyone else.

The dude is an egomaniac that thinks he is smarter than other people.

I didn’t even know who this person was. So, after reading some comments:

  • Goes by thor/pirate software on youtube, has a channel and also streams
  • Is a narcissistic asshole who cannot be wrong, ever
  • Apparently has developed some games, including one "impossible to pirate"
  • Was respected until he decided to talk bullshit about Stop Killing Games (that’s the SKG), dunking on Louis Rossman
  • Already had some pretty shitty takes before that
ShaggySnacks,

Thanks for the recommendaion to block this shit goblin.

I’ve also seen it said that he is “my uncle works at Nintendo” credentials personified. But I can’t be assed to verify it. Just another streamer people shouldn’t even know the name of to me

JackbyDev, (edited )

He used to work at Blizzard.

He caught flak for something that happened while streaming hardcore WoW. People accused him of not using frost magic to help others escape a botched raid. A lot of people made jokes “what you fail to understand is that Thor didn’t need to cast Blizzard because he worked there for 8 years.”

fannymcslap,

His dad was a blizzard legend, he isn’t.

BackgrndNoize, (edited )

And apparently he played a match if WoW where he goofed up and let a bunch of his team mates die and then got defensive about it to a foolish degree when called out instead of just saying yeah I made a mistake and laughing it off

YOU CANT BLAME THOR FOR RUINING THIS CAMPAIGN SINGLE HANDED

Is this all his fault alone? No, but if someone starts spewing bullshit excuses and makes up lies about my objectives to his millions of followers, I feel like it is important to correct him, and call him a doo doo head.

Duamerthrax,

Too little too late, but his onlyfangs(or whatever it’s called) drama really cut into his CCV. He tried beating Neuro-sama’s hype train on twitch, failed, and made a bunch of petty excuses. He can’t maintain his facade anymore.

iAmTheTot, do gaming w What did consumer rights ever do to this dude?

I’m just dumbfounded why anyone would be openly okay with video games becoming unplayable. He flat out said he was fine with it. And like… Why though?

Lazycog,

He’s creating his own game. It’s like a corporation saying “workers unions are bad”.

iAmTheTot,

I had read something about how he’s faking work on the game, but admit I did not look into it.

Lazycog,

Oh didn’t know that. After looking into this guy I determined I better ignore him alltogether.

iAmTheTot,

Exactly why I didn’t look into it, lol.

sp3ctr4l,

Its not that complicated.

He’s been saying he’s been working on his game for uh… 7 years now.

When what he has actually, very obviously been doing, is twitch streaming 10 hours a day.

Its the ‘Elon is magical multi tasking super genius’ bit, no, no obviously not, he’s lying, he just likes to be able to claim the identity of game dev because it allows him to act superior and authoritative as a commenter on video games.

Dude is a fraud.

ragebutt,

He didn’t open with that statement, he buried it into his video. A bootlicking coward (or possibly an industry plant, given he got the blizzard job thanks to his dad) who bans dissent and won’t actually engage in any dialogues with the people he’s fucking over

BlackPenguins,

Because technically it’s a little extra work to make games playable after the end of life. It’s so much easier to just dump it and run to the next thing. Like Game of Thrones season 8. But the extra work makes it a quality product. It gives it a legacy. Same reason it’s a little extra work to add accessibility and pretty colors to my app. Sure my app would work without it but this shit should be an industry standard.

his dad worked at blizzard and basically created world of Warcraft /s

@Zikeji@programming.dev avatar

If you’ve seen the controversy around this guy in other circles (I’m thinking of that satire game creator who got harassing by Pirate Software and his fans) this wouldn’t really be a surprise and would be on brand.

blackjam_alex, do gaming w What did consumer rights ever do to this dude?

I hate his username because it makes it seem like it’s about piracy versus legally owned games to people unaware of him scrolling through social media.

uranibaba, do gaming w What did consumer rights ever do to this dude?

Who are we taking about?

kiwifruit,
L0rdMathias, do gaming w What did consumer rights ever do to this dude?

Doesn’t like the game he is eventually promising to finish require always online DRM? So ofc he wants to shut down something that would require him to long term support a product he’s invested into but hasn’t even brought to market. Super transparent conflict of interest.

4am,

……you mean Steam?

L0rdMathias,

Lmao. Hey it’s not a monopoly as long as GoG exists!

SkyezOpen,

Steam itself isn’t online only drm. It literally has an offline mode and as long as the games themselves aren’t online only you can play them offline.

lordnikon,

Along not all games on steam are DRMed it’s on the developer to put DRM on the game or not.

iAmTheTot,

In theory, if he actually finished and released his game relatively soon, he could do whatever he wants still.

One popular misconception about the SKG initiative is that it will require currently existing games to change to become compliant. That’s not actually what they’re asking for. They want new laws to come into place that would affect future games made. The SKG initiative fully accepts that there are some existing that are likely beyond saving.

@Voyajer@lemmy.world avatar

I’m not surprised, he’s the director of strategy for the publisher offbrand games whose biggest game is live service after all.

archonet, (edited ) do gaming w What did consumer rights ever do to this dude?

I think the worst thing about PirateSoftware is that he can have some surprisingly reasonable takes and nuggets of wisdom in his shorts that lure you in, but the moment you start getting into more of his content and actually try to figure out what he’s about as a person you discover he’s a smug asshole with an overdeveloped sense of self-righteousness. Some people never dig that deeply or simply don’t care if he doesn’t practice the mindfulness he preaches, these are his fans.

if you watch his outer wilds playthrough you’ll see him struggle on puzzles for half an hour, look down pretending to think, then suddenly have the exact solution to the puzzle.

dude has a serious case of ego

lime,
@lime@feddit.nu avatar

i really dislike his playthrough because he skips so much. he approaches it like a pure puzzle game instead of a world.

he plays it like joseph anderson except he pretends he’s doing things correctly and the game is wrong. joe knows he’s wrong and challenges the game to stop him.

RickyRigatoni,
@RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com avatar

So my original assessment of him just being asmongold with enough self awareness to not act like a fool all the time was kind of correct?

Asmongold without the rat alarm clock.

ScoopMcPoops,

If Asmongold wasn’t puppeted by an army of roaches.

RightHandOfIkaros, do gaming w What did consumer rights ever do to this dude?

What are you all expecting PirateSoftware to do? He has no mana. What can he do when he has no mana?
