    Wasn’t the “I worked at Blizzard” guy (can’t think of their name right now) one of the most public people against Stop Killing Games?

    Wonder what they have to say about all this now?

      PirateSoftware. He’s become persona non-grata on the internet. Not because of him going against Stop Killing Games specifically but he’s basically irrelevant now.

        Well, I think was the straw that broke the camels back. If it wasnt for this on whichever next controversy he’d have gotten shot (metaphorically)

              oh i’ve never watched anything directly by him except his animal well playthrough, where he spends a lot of time “thinking” by looking down at his desk

                I never did either, I just retroactively followed his WoW drama (after his SKG takes) while playing Motor Town.

                The context from the quote (“Do you see my mana? What am I supposed to do for you?”) is that he was playing hardcore WoW with other youtubers and streamers, he got a lil’ afraid and ran away like a rat while pretending to help his team’s escape: he spammed sub-optimal spells, intentionally draining his mana, leading to the quote.

                  I originally saw the guys cyber security shorts, and those just felt so off, like it was a semester 1 CS student spouting what they just learnt to seem like an SME.

                  Then much later on I came across him again when I saw that Hardcore WoW drama unfold. Instantly knew I was right when I originally thought something was off about him, felt so validating haha
