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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

SCmSTR, do gaming w Killed the greatest gamer initiative out there for content

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.

My sister watches this Thor dude, and I don’t know why because the guy is an insufferable jackass. I absolutely hate hearing his stupid fucking voice, bitching about the stupidest shit for the stupidest reasons. Hell, I don’t even want to play his games because I constantly hear the stupid bullshit he does just to stop the players he doesn’t like from having fun since they are playing his game “wrong.” Not breaking rules, just not playing the way he thinks they should.

The first pirate software video I saw, was claiming he made an unpiratable game because it used Steam achievements to track progress.

I’m no expert, but I think that if it wasn’t pirated, it’s just cause the pirates didn’t give a damn. And it sounds like it could cause a lot of problems like bad syncing, or making the game unreplayable w/o steam achievement manager.

Luffy879,

Also, if the game isnt exactly something like oneshot where you literally only have one shot, steam achievements are just totally stupid since you cant replay the game

Also you cant even really save gamedata on there, only your progress

Duamerthrax,

If it wasn’t obvious already, it would appear that he and I have very different takes on what makes games fun. Has he ever played a video game before always on internet connections? Well, he worked for Blizzard, so we can assume some disconnect between him and what players want.

JackbyDev,

Surely making a local only implementation for tracking Steam achievements is about as hard as cracking some DRM?

Natanael,

There’s literally tools to arbitrarily set and change Steam achievements

Dutczar,
@Dutczar@sopuli.xyz avatar

That works just on Steam’s side I think, the trick would be emulating whatever the game itself asks Steam.

I looked up the video in question, the game’s called Champions of Breakfast and it’s a pretty small $3, so we probably won’t know because nobody gives a shit.

Natanael,

At worst the game might use certificate pinning, in which case you modify the code to insert your own certificate

JackbyDev,

I don’t know about this game (nor do I really care to), but if it’s a single player game you could already do that with cheat enginess even if progression isn’t tied to achievements.

He’s literally an industry plant. In the most literal sense

This guy is such a dumbass and so arrogant that he can’t fathom he could be wrong with anything. I watched his stuff when he exploded thanks to YouTube shorts, but quickly changed my view of him. If you ever worked with a know it all but not really type of guy, you see through their BS early.
