Ross trying to save our games from being forever destroyed deserves a lot more than Thor hamstringing the campaign with slurs, insults and red herrings while completely missing the point of SKG.

Piratesoftware’s tomfoolery may have costed the real exposure the campaign could’ve had thus leaving us with jack results in failing to pass the initiative. All that volunteer effort made by Ross and everyone diminished because of one jerk with a large following.

It is deeply ironic just how entrenched in corporate BS this guy is while naming his channel Priatesoftware. I would laugh if it wasn't so harmful to this endeavor.

As far as I know he's also, ironically, staunchly anti-piracy.

He is and I distinctly remember one clip where he bragged that his game was piracy proof because the save system uses steam achievements. Conveniently ignoring the fully working steam backend emulators out there used to run every game whose sole DRM is the Steam Store.

He was speaking of someone else's game that did that, not Heartbound.

The guy seems like a shill. A hired goon who successfully destroyed Ross’s movement, just like they planned!
