Comment on PirateSoftware's Take On $80 Games

• ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

  Pirate Software has a lot of haters because he acts like a know it all and gets into arguments with people. I’m sensing people are just downvoting this video because it’s him and don’t care that in it he says pricing games at $80+ is pure greed from corporate studios that will likely tank the games industry.

    He got mad at me and much of his community over concerns about decisions he was making for “block game”. We stated our concerns kindly and politely, and he got mad and deleted an entire discord channel because we didn’t agree with him and made good points that he couldn’t refute. I lost all respect for him after that.

      Oh I dunno, I avoid a lot of drama and just watch his takes on YouTube. Didn’t realize Lemmy really hated this guy (deserved or not).

      It’s a shame he reacted that way.

    I don’t really have it in me to hold enough of a grudge against a YouTuber to be one of their “haters”, but even I’m not a fan of Pirate Software due to the Stop Killing Games mess he put out. Still, the comment I responded to seemed completely disconnected from the video linked here.

      Just look at the hate filled messages in this thread. He shares his opinion on video games but people act like he spreads bigotry and prejudice. He doesn’t want to sign a petition to regulate video games. He’s allowed to have an opinion.

        It’s not some fucking witch hunt. He’s a pretentious asshole, who thinks he is better than everyone else.

        And yes people can have their own opinions, but he misrepresented the goals of the petition on purpose. Then he refused to debate it with someone (who knows what the petition was actually about) on live when called out.

        He has no balls or mana.
