On July 3, 2025, YouTuber and streamer Pirate Software, also known as Thor, officially announced that he would be stepping away from Offbrand Games following th
I’m pretty sure this is the same guy who was ranting about Godot “being woke” last year lol
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.
This is why I hate this community right here. I answered the person’s question and gave him what pirates view point was while calling out these gaming corporations and explained what they will probably do if a bill like this passes and your take away is I am “felationing” (not a word) game companies.
Just droves of window lickers like you infest this space and any nuanced conversations get lost.
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…
These are kinda wild takes. The gaming industry for indie companies is wild and expansive in a way I dont remember 20 years ago. Was I just naive? Am I naive now, and the guy who made a game on his own and uploaded it to steam was really just part of a large shell company?
I mean you’re comparing these to the multinational coorporations that are ruining our environment, and healthcare (in the US). I dont feel like they’re the same?
Maybe there needs to be tweaks so that the extra burdens don’t inhibit small companies, but do the big ones. Maybe thats already in it, but its hard for me to take it seriously when you’re comparing customer’s desire for a good product with a child working in a mine.
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 guess Injust hope small businesses can generally be held to a different standard, since small businesses generally are flatter and promote more leveled economic growth.
I run a small business and agree we are the real driver of good economic growth (not a death spiral of infinite profit). However I just want to play by the same rules as the big guys, different standards for different sized businesses are kinda how we got here.

“I see what he’s worried about” they mumble around a mouthful of profit oriented testicles.

Fair enough.
