He spawned a bunch of misinformation that people are repeating to this day every time the petition is mentioned. He was by far the largest negative influence on the campaign. Even if it was always doomed to fail, who would you have OP clown on if not him?

Sir, You Are Being Hunted is a comedic survival game, where you are stuck on a collection of small islands. You need to gather up fragments of an artifact and bring it back to a circle of runestones to create an escape portal....
I never really figured this game out, and the only thing I really remember is that while playing I was listening to a video about the “trying to trademark reaction youtube” debacle.
Being the most favorable game market does not mean “there is no competition”. It’s just the competition is doing it wrong so everyone flocks to what they like or have stuck with.
