    Also like to thank piratesoftware for being an idiot nepobaby.

    Because honestly, if his campaign to suppress the petition had not been so initially successful, then the big industry propaganda machine could have waged a much more influential campaign.

    As it was they were blindsided by the sudden surge of support for a campaign they had apparently written off.

      Honestly what if he was the big industry campaign? Like he’s been at least ostensibly pro gamer and pro dev, but started dickriding publishers so hard during this debacle.

      I dunno, I was only familiar with him through shorts and then the wow drama. I didn’t get the impression his takes were always this shit, but then again he’s cheated through several puzzle games before all this so maybe he’s always been a pile of shit.

        I think its more that he is very charismatic. He’s fun to listen to and on the surface he seems knowledgeable.

        I used to like watching the guy until he touched on a few subjects where I knew he was 100% wrong. Then I started paying more attention to what he was saying and realized that he is talking out of his ass more often than he isn’t.

    You can tell Ross is sick of being the de facto leader. Understandable really, amazing that he even stepped up in the first place.
