I am happy that it’s a Peripeteia developer saying this. The game is a mess (because it’s Early access) & needs a looooot if optimization, but boy it’s something else.
Gives me Ghost in the Shell vibes
I’m glad that someone I’ve personally disliked for various reasons is finally having a lot of people see them for who they really are.
Man this dude is a total nepobaby tool.
Omg… this comment… this comment right here 👆. This is what I needed to see because I relate so strongly to it. F’kn guy sucks! (By guy sucks, I mean coworker of my nightmares that leans on me like a cancer). But my god, I’m so happy for him.
Guys a fucking loser. Needs to get a real job.
I wish he’d stop getting any kind of attention at all. He is a fraud.
Dude had entirely disappeared from my timelines before every youtuber and lemmy poster seemingly felt the need to tell me about how naughty he is.
That attention is the dying embers of the torch he took to his career
I watch this dude sometimes, he says he’s a fulltime game dev but all I see him do is play other games. The game he works on has seen very little progress.
Would be nice if he at least admits he’s a streamer and not a game dev.
I’ve also noticed this from watching his stream and the more I learn about the guy the less I like him. He seems to misrepresent and oversell himself quite a bit.
Btw did he tell you about the time he worked at Blizzard, for the millionth time?
He worked at Blizzard in the same way that Apple store employees work for Apple. They do, but not in the capacity that’s been implied.
The job he got through nepotism?
“game dev” is a way to put it
I remember seeing gameplay of Heartbound in like 2017? maybe earlier. it’s still not finished?
No it’s not. It’s sad.
I mean isn’t it a Deltarune ripoff ?
Sounds an awful lot like what YandereDev did when he was still relevant.
yanderedev is always relevant
For those who don’t know, this streamer is only tangentially related to the stop killing games petition because he made a comment about it being BS because he misinterpreted what it was supposed to do. He used his misinterpretation to spread false information about this petition leading to it not getting the support it initially should have.
When the guy behind the petition made a statement saying he didn’t think the petition was going to get enough signatures in part because of the misinformation being spread about it, PirateSoftware doubled down on his false claims and all of this lead to people doing the research they should have done in the first place and deciding to support the petition after all.
What we should probably be learning from this is that we should do our own research, and find out things instead of taking the word of random people online.
I think a lot of people didn’t hear about this guy until about 2 days ago. Personally I didn’t even know about this petition.
I knew about the lawsuit against The Crew, but I didn’t know anything about any more general petition, so I think the greater problem was simply a lack of advertising.
A comment? Am I misreading your comment or is this just ignorance of the situation? Because PirateSoftware made a whole ass video on the subject way back (the one allegedly rife with misinformation). I remember it on my feed when the campaign was getting traction, but didn’t watch it because my view of him was souring.
From what clips I’ve seen*, PirateSoftware misinterprets the majority of what he addressed. Either maliciously or unknowingly, which is why he was blamed for tanking momentum since that video did get a ton of views (before people wised up to him being a total cunt).
*Yes I know the irony of what I just said there after reading your last paragraph. I believe these terminally online streamers because I would not put it past PirateSoftware to be this awful after watching his videos for a small period and then the subsequent controversies coming out.
Multiple videos.
He made multiple videos.
He may well have done but the only clip I have seen is the one where someone asks about it while he’s streaming games and he responded to that person with misinformation.
Ah. Makes sense. I caught a stream once and he pretty much just did discussions with the chat. A lot of his videos were just cuts from his streams when someone asked.
I know it’s not going to happen, but I would love it if legislation could go as far as requiring companies to open-source their engines and servers after maybe a period of time, or on ending support for the game. It could be done ID-style where the company retains full rights of the content and trademarks, which would still require players to buy the game to legally play it.
I’m aware there are a lot of cases where games include middleware that’s licensed from 3rd parties that complicate preservation efforts. But if open-sourcing the code is the path taken, there’s a simple solution for that: just release what you can, even if what’s released is in an unplayable state without the middleware. It then becomes the responsibility of any volunteers to take that code and bring it back to a usable state however they choose.
This drama highlights that there’s still a great need for better computer literacy. Anyone with even a basic education in how software, source-code, and software licensing works can tell PirateSoftware is full of shit pretty much immediately. That is, anyone educated who are themselves not grifters.
Yessss.
Absolute fucking clown. He’s just scared of open sourcing old games because everyone will see how shitty his code is…
That’s completely misguided, because people can see his code anyway (in his streams), and also because he will never finish or release his game
Probably little incentive to do so given how much money they’re making from Twitch, YouTube, etc.
I mean, he’s said before that shitty code doesn’t make for a good or bad game. He gave examples of lots of successful games that have “bad” code and that it doesn’t matter and people should just make games.
Not sure if it’s still the case, but the code of balatro was a single giant file with if cases for every card
Bad code can make great games. But it will also make them very hard to maintain
Undertale also has really bad code and it’s a great game
It can alsoake fes that perform way worse than they have anything to. See yandere simulator for example
I’m not relaxing unil it’s 1.5 million.
In Ross’ video, IIRC, he said 110% was good, 120% was pretty safe, and 140% was very safe.
edit: Correct autocorrect.
200% it shall be!
Can’t wait for him to see this and claim it was his plan the entire time
So that’s why he worked at Blizzard for 7 years and keeps bringing it up.
Who is this, and why is she so sad?
I kinda hate the guy so it’s hard for me to keep the tone neutral but I’ll try my best.
Long story short: He’s a popular streamer that had a few controversies that caused many people labelled him as arrogant or egotistical.
The latest one is his take on the “stop killing games” initiative that he was against. He had a video a few months ago were he misrepresentated the movement and spread misinformation (whether or not this was intentional or misinformed is up for debate) and caused a significant drop in the momentum of the movement, refusing to accept any criticism and doubling down on things. That was until recently were the initiative was in the last month and a half before the big deadline at only around 50% of the required signatures, but then huge momentum sprung up with a lot of people marking him as the “villain” of the movement and because of his controversy before it wasn’t long before word spread.
This has obviously led to harassment of the guy(which I feel is too far personally) which he responded to by tripling down on his opinion causing further being labelled as the villain. Eventually the momentum carried it over the finish and people are happy that he didn’t get his way.
whether or not this was intentional or misinformed is up for debate
It’s not, in his response to the initial controversy he cut out the part of Ross’ video that directly contradicted his misrepresentation, he’s a lying piece of shit.
Misgendering people is not funny.
According to 30 rock it is.
The difference is that 30 Rock is not doing it to be mean spirited.
I think the root comment is just memeing? But I see your point, it’s not funny. (Or it shouldn’t be.)
What does “just memeing” mean here?
Oh? You’re approaching me?
They memed the joke from the show, while i just copied the part from jojo.
I wanted to lure you into revealing your stand.
I’m not proud of it but I really enjoyed the mass dunking on this guy.
Be a little proud, as a treat. You deserve it.
Is this a real screenshot of him crying about the initiative reaching 100%?
Very unlikely. He hasn’t made any content covering the initiative yet.
You mean, after the shit he put out that was complete bs?
He probably still does not understand what it’s about
What u attempt to accomplish? Maintaining games also takes time and effort and server costs and they likely kill them to save costs.
There is no way this petition is gonna do anything
Enable offline mode. That’s the very least they can do. These game, like how EA famously claim that it’s not possible for SimCity to run in offline mode and then soon release an offline mode, should be playable offline.
Enable private server/p2p multiplayer. This would make sure playing with friends is still possible after the server went down.
When games put DRM in them that requires a server
And I buy that game
And then they take away that server
I want my money back
Or for them to patch the game so it works
It’s not fucking hard to figure out
Its okay to stop running the servers. All gamers want is to have the stuff it takes to continue to enjoy the game after the companies are done.
then don’t make single player games (or sections of games) require a server.
It might get the EU to make a law.
At best we get fresh new EULA’s to click through on our way to play our game.
I’ve signed a lot of petitions over the years, and I’d sign this one too, but it’s pretty naive to think this will actually do anything useful.
This is not just a random petition, it has legal force to compel the EU to officially hear the issue.
