The YouTuber noted that his opinion on the initiative has led players to review-bomb the company's new releases. To avoid further harm to their reputation, he's terminated the partnership indefinitely. "I am no longer working at Offbrand Games,"

The damage is done now. He isn't likable, took a big loss on his part, almost took down his collabs with himself.

Let this be a lesson in being humble about your public appearence. He's essentially being featured in some questionable forums, I believe. This was absolutely not worth it for him.

Honestly, very smart and humble move, he certainly got hit with a ton of bad press for his opposition to the petition and that would have impacted the game studio's sales.

His defense of Godot and his stance on the attacks, seem very reasonable and correct: Clip 1, Clip 2. Nothing like what you remember, OP.

Separating from Off Brand Games to protect them of the fallout of his opinions and public exposure also seems like a correct decision.

Edit: fixed second link

Just a heads up, your two clips are linking to the same vid

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 day ago

Oh thanks, the second clip is actually here. I'll fix it in parent in a minute.

I don't like pirate software like any other guy, but I want to put credit where credit is due.

He wasn't ranting about Godot being woke last year. He was actually actively defending it from all the bigots. One of the very few YouTubers or streamers, I saw.

You have probably mistaken him with Asmongold. He has long hair too, and he is right wing nutjob pos.

So I’m confused what exactly did he dislike about the movement? Seems like a solid one to me.

[–] burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

its difficult to know why he did what he did because he apparently misinterpreted what the point of the petition is and then spiraled right down a toilet from there
