I think the worst thing about PirateSoftware is that he can have some surprisingly reasonable takes and nuggets of wisdom in his shorts that lure you in, but the moment you start getting into more of his content and actually try to figure out what he’s about as a person you discover he’s a smug asshole with an overdeveloped sense of self-righteousness. Some people never dig that deeply or simply don’t care if he doesn’t practice the mindfulness he preaches, these are his fans.
if you watch his outer wilds playthrough you’ll see him struggle on puzzles for half an hour, look down pretending to think, then suddenly have the exact solution to the puzzle.
dude has a serious case of ego
I’m just dumbfounded why anyone would be openly okay with video games becoming unplayable. He flat out said he was fine with it. And like… Why though?
He’s creating his own game. It’s like a corporation saying “workers unions are bad”.
I had read something about how he’s faking work on the game, but admit I did not look into it.
Its not that complicated.
He’s been saying he’s been working on his game for uh… 7 years now.
When what he has actually, very obviously been doing, is twitch streaming 10 hours a day.
Its the ‘Elon is magical multi tasking super genius’ bit, no, no obviously not, he’s lying, he just likes to be able to claim the identity of game dev because it allows him to act superior and authoritative as a commenter on video games.
Dude is a fraud.
What are you all expecting PirateSoftware to do? He has no mana. What can he do when he has no mana?
Meditate to regain mana, like you do in Ultima Online. 🤷♂️
Self-reflection is clearly not his strong suit
Doesn’t like the game he is eventually promising to finish require always online DRM? So ofc he wants to shut down something that would require him to long term support a product he’s invested into but hasn’t even brought to market. Super transparent conflict of interest.
……you mean Steam?
EDIT: no you troglodytes, his game uses Steam. Unless it was added recently it doesn’t have online-only DRM. I’m not saying Steam is online only, I’m saying his game uses Steam.
