he happens to be the one that got into a call/response thread with the figurehead of the thing you support is pretty toxic
Ross specifically didn’t engage with him beyond a comment politely informing him of his mistakes and misunderstandings because he was rude and hostile from the very beginning.
I wouldn’t condone harassing him about this. He didn’t directly engage with Ross either, so we can both respectfully keep our internet bickering separate.
I don’t fully agree with either of them,
And you shouldn’t. While his resume sounds impressive and I’m sure he knows way more about game dev than I ever could, he too is plain wrong here. He approaches the initiative as “this could never work in the current landscape” while the whole point of the legislation would be to legally obligate changing that landscape, or not sell in the EU. This is how iphones got USB-C, so why couldn’t it work here?
Edit: I meant Ross didn’t engage with him before this as he obviously threw some hands in the latest video
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?
It really was a good ole’ internet argument where he was just obnoxiously wrong in his interpretation and remained just as confidently incorrect the entire time.
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.
