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 to you, not cool just deleting the discussion.
[edit] to the downvoters *to this current comment *… on the original post it’s fine but for this specific one go fuck yourself, have a horrible day [/edit]
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.
On top of that he deleted ross’s comment, rebuking his shit opinions. How much more of dickhead can you get?

Right, but there are people who are openly Nazis. I get that he’s got an ego but he doesn’t seem to have hateful views. I just find the amount of hate he attracts just for being a know it all seems way out of proportion.
“hes’ got an ego but there’s NAZIS” is literal whataboutism. he’s still part of the problems out there. he is not a net positive on society, just like nazis.
I was attempting to compare and contrast. How should I do that without “whataboutism”?

Clearly being narcissistic is not as bad as spreading hate and bigotry. Calling this guy all kinds of names and saying he’s the same as a Nazi because he thinks he’s the smartest guy ever is overkill.
His views aren’t offensive, they’re just different. It’s like a guy saying pineapple on pizza is terrible and anyone who likes it has terrible taste and then deletes and bans people who say they like pineapple on pizza. It’s weird behaviour but to say they’re not a net positive to society is crazy.
This guy runs an animal rescue shelter and pays for his (American) chat moderators’ healthcare. He helps people with no experience get into game development.
One of the top comments in this thread is:
I couldn’t give less of a shit what this dumbfuck thinks about anything.
Why all the hate? Because he argues about World of Warcraft strategies? There are definitely people who are negatives to society, but I do not think Pirate Software is one of those people. I do think he has an attitude, but that doesn’t make him the equivalent of a Nazi.
I just find the amount of hate he attracts just for being a know it all seems way out of proportion.
He is also a grifter. Why would you be surprised that content from a fraudster (irrespective of whether a “know it all persona” is used in marketing or not) gets downvoted?
And generally, there is reason to be skeptical of content from gaming content creators that does not directly concern games (pricing and inflation is a much broader topic). There are much better sources for such discussions.

He is just a nepo libertarian shill who has no real balls or mana.

the whataboutism is ignorant.
Please explain?

You just "there are starving children in Africa"ed the conversation
“Ugh veggies again! I want pizza!”
“You should be thankful you have veggies. There are starving children in Africa.”
“Whataboutism!”
