Perhaps, but the most I've seen are some tenuous "evidence" about him being a little selfish in WoW, not finishing games, or using his dad's influence to land a job at Blizzard. Neither of those are particularly bad, and certainly don't warrant the negative attention he got. It really seems like people are looking for dirt just because they don't like his position on SKG.
Then again, I didn't hear about him until he came out against it, and I saw he defended Godot, which is pretty rad. That's the extent of my knowledge about him, other than the handful of hit pieces against him people posted here once he got negative attention.
I support SKG and don't think PirateSoftware is a bad dude. I say just let him be, and don't watch his content if you don't like it.
Pirate has done a lot to earn hate over the years from stealing and manipulating a child back in second life to make a quick buck. Screwing over and generally being a major asshole in eve online that screwed a lot of people out of very real money.
Being a general twat, gaslighting and trying to get his community to harass people irl over the wow debacle.
Lying and giving objectively bad information over development and grifting on twitch.
He's done everything a twat really can do online short of actual physical harm.
People have grudges with him going back like 15 years. This is not his first rodeo.
Really? From the 5-10 min of his videos that I watched over the last 2 weeks when trying to figure out why people dislike him, I didn't see any of that nonsense. That's really too bad if true, because he seemed like a pretty level-headed guy who was a pretty laid-back gamer (no yelling or other form of aggression, which is unfortunately common among streamers). I watched some clips of:
That's about it. He didn't seem like a toxic person who routinely trolls and screws people in games, just kind of your average, run-of-the-mill streamer who's a little low-key but still out there to create content to get people to watch.
Then again, he could totally be the jerk you make him out to be. It's really hard to tell what's a legitimate explanation of things and what's people looking for a reason to slander him because they don't like his take on SKG. The couple of articles I read seemed to mostly be the latter, but they also didn't mention most of what you did here. So idk, I guess I haven't made up my mind about him, but honestly, I don't think it's really worth digging into because I'm not into his content anyway.
You watched 5 minutes of his own verbal diarrhea and formed a full opinion on him?
No, I explicitly said I don't have a strong opinion on him. I'm not going to knee-jerk follow the hate train just because of a bad take on SKG and a couple of emotional videos where he said some moderately offensive things. Maybe he's really a bad dude, idk, but I'm not going to jump on the bandwagon.
Fair enough, by the way, valid point. But it does seems like you jumped on a bandwagon, my friend.
And which bandwagon would that be?
