Oh no, not putting this into a conspiracy. Not at all saying Thor is part of a large shell company.

The issue I am pointing to is how people (Thor included) defend and fight for those same multinational corporations. Hell even you by belittling one aspect of enshitification as lesser and not worth any attention is not doing any good.

Remember that we can do more then one thing at a time.

I think it’s a little gross how much we’ve chosen to pile on as a community.

The man is still advocating (to this very day) against Stop Killing Games, why does he get a pass? Why should I give a flying fuck about companies that have been bleeding a hobby I enjoy for years. Why are people so FUCKING WILLING TO STAND UP IN DEFENCE OF THE INDEFENSIBLE!

Sorry that last one is not the games industry only. But really why do people think its gross to call someone on their bullshit, but not gross to play defence for a multinational company?

Yeap, and also that this will be the end of multiplayer games (bullshit in the extreme)

The irony of a guy called pirate software pushing for DRM on its own is, wild.

Also without stating any actual concerns while fighting their gag reflexes.

Edit: Also the children yearn for the mines, they say while telling people not to be concerned about non corporate interests. After all the companies interests are basicly our own.....

I am not sure you can say that after trying to tell people how to act.

If being active and engaged on a topic is a "twisted way to view the world" then why are you here on Lemmy?

Again, I answer. A lot of people.

This man has allowed his hubris and ego to destroy him, a story people like to see. The petition is not yet done and is now getting hate articles done on it (odd that). People are still posting about him as he is now the poster child of a shitty industry most dislike. The harassing of the studio he worked for is news to me (and I think a lot of people as it does not seem to have yet happened).

People who "move on" like you are talking about are a modern day plague, its how we get the absolute clown world we now live in. Have some principle and integrity.

And I am telling you (not likely the only one) that this is very much a real issue. What you are looking at is someone killing their career over the need of their ego to double down over and over. They have become a figurehead of the worst part of the games industry.

This is not going to "go away" anytime soon, and as Thor is still digging deeper will only get worse.

I mean this guy was just about the only opponent to this petition, he went HARD and is now being dumped on.

Rage mill? The only one here that seems to be getting upset is you.

This is likely the end of pirate software (at least as he was), there is no rational reason to try and pick fights over this.

Not in the slightest in this case. He very much did say that live and also still stands by what was said. The idea that you need someone to walk you though it to such a degree is odd and likely is because you are looking for a particular reality that you can agree with.

Like I could understand if we were talking about some event that had opposing claims here, but in this case the man in question does not even deny that was what he said. And if you want "the context" more then what was on that clip, the live stream was just that he was made aware of the campaign and this is how he reacted.

This initiative can eat my ass, the whole thing. It can eat my entire ass

Its like the most used clip in almost any coverage of this, I don't get why you keep asking as if its not a well documented thing.

...he’s dealing with such fall out over an opinion in an industry he’s active in...

Congrats to him, he is now the poster child of everything everyone hates about the industry. And its all due to his own ego centred actions.

Please stop felatioing the game companies. The issue everyone had on his hot take is that by the very same logic no regulation on any company is warranted, and that is insane. Its just more of a bad industry wanting to have their cake and eat it as well.
