Video description. Unfortunately no comments.
I hope the all the Youtube bros win out over Jason because they are the only people I've seen on that hellsite of a platform actually give us credit and call out Jason for the faggot he is.
 
I suspect his QA work at blizzard mostly involved content moderation and banning. I'm not sure if "we" means the entirety of blizzard had a pizza day every time they banned someone important, or just the team, but the more I think about it the more retarded it gets. He apparently also filed a police report against a user in new world. That might be funny if it's possible to find.
That's not what QA does, companies are anal about titles and highlights more of his bullshit. In fact, being a true janny would have been better since you can then bullshit about being part of a player safety/security team as an upsell.

For a nepo baby, he really didn't move up in the company for 15+ years if he's stuck making up stuff due to the in-game credits being set in stone.

I love it when shills deny that they are shills.
The only thing about RoA that I know about is one of the Artists for the game, Marc Knelsen, has AIDS (Artificial Intelligence Derangement Syndrome) because people kept resusing his art for furry fetish shit since he kept drawing Wolf Link and the Fox from Tunic in a bunch of risque art.

Edit to include samples.

According to old Reddit posts he owned the website "maldavius[.]space" but it is seemingly now defunct. I hope no one defensively registers it.

It appears this was some sort of gay campaign to make changes to a video game he was fond of at the time. There's an archive link here but it doesn't have much content and the images are dead.
The maldavius.space website was used for his Eve Online CSM election campaign, and he also linked to it in his campaign post on the official forums. One part of the website I found interesting is this quote:
I was an old SA forum nerd so naturally I applied to Goonswarm. I flew in the Fountain war and had a ton of fun. Outside of the wars things slowed down and eventually grew stale. I came back a few times, tried new things in Goon, and eventually won EVE for a while. Nullsec can be incredibly boring when there isn't a major conflict to be a part of.
I suspect he had an account on SomethingAwful. When I searched for his commonly used names there I didn't find anything. I don't have an account or archive access there so I could have easily missed something, especially since he could have stopped actively posting there over 10 years ago.

Looking at the corporation history of his eve online character Maldavius (archive) shows he was in Goonswarm from 2013 through 2018 so if he has a SomethingAwful account it would probably be over 11 years old. If anyone has access to the Goonfleet forums that would be another site to check for posts under his name.

There could be some interesting drama behind the Stribog Clade alliance he ran in Eve Online. I never got involved with any Pochven stuff so all I know of regarding his alliance is second hand information. Whoever was behind the PochvenGuide reddit account had spies inside Stribog Clade and constantly worked to undermine and sabotage everything the alliance did until Maldavius quit the game.

I regret clicking that spoiler. Where can you buy eye bleach? :cryblood:
 
Ironic to run a channel named PirateSoftware while being against preserving games where piracy is usually the only option
Also ironic to call himself 20 years experienced gamedev when his coding is crap and acts more like a shitty money grubbing CEO type. I think it's striking that his success comes more from marketint himself and putting himself in ownership and managment situations rather than producing things.

Thinking about it, he should just hire a team of people to develop Heartbound and just work as lead writer for it. I can see Jason doing better as a full-time podcast/talk show host since he has 2M+ YouTube subs.
I'm convinced he would make a better journalist/game reviewer/commentator than a game dev.

Ah, but you see that would require him to give up on his pretentions of being le epic coder man, and also to be smart, which he is clearly not as all evidence points to such a conclusion.

He could just say "Oh, I am a professional so I know my game opinion is worth more, I just stopped due to (insert reasons people don't like game companies here)". That way he looks like the good guy. Sadly, people would still ask him about Heartbound and he'd chimp.

He totally would, even if he's obnoxious and a douchebag. He has enough charisma for a certain type of audience and that's what counts.
 
  • Agree
Reactions: Oddity

With a money printer like his streams, I'd imagine delegating all other tasks is a better use of resources than doing anything on his own even if he were actually good at that other thing. He could probably get away with effectively restating the previous sentence as his reason to unabashedly do only streaming and still maintain reputation as an accomplished gamedev/hackerman, now using his wealth of experience to manage others even though it'd almost certainly manifest as him throwing money at people more competent than him.

That said, if he did go this route, I would expect at least one inevitable disgruntled employee story. From the overall power trip vibes and the EVE saga in particular, Jason seems particularly insufferable as a leader. I guess he could just delegate that as well, but I don't think his ego would let him step aside.

THIS VIDEO WAS FALSELY COPYRIGHT STRIKED. Marking the 5th false privacy strike from Fagtree
This is a video review of Jason's magnum opus Heartbound. It contained "Maldavius Figtree" in it's title and I was unable to re-find this guy's channel or this video when I went to post this so I'm assuming he was terminated for this. He only had 50 subscribers at the time of uploading. So pour one out for this reviewer.

Searching the title brought up https://www.youtube.com/@ArmandoBroncas-1v as a ~50 subscriber channel which, no longer exists. (didn't see anyone else mention it)
Youtube channel capture. This is before that video; however, there was another Jason video there.

Working on archiving other thumbnails. If I can find them that is.

This was the original thumbnail for that video, which was falsely stricken. The 5-timer back to back 1968-1973 dunking champion Jason.

Wait a second. If Jason was on SomethingAwful that means he's got an account. Does anyone have access to SA to start digging through his aliases?
This could be the missing link for him covering up so hard for his old aliases. Dark skeletons on SomethingAwful....

There's an account with the username Maldavius. 0 posts on it, though. Couldn't find posts quoting him, either, in the case of them being scrubbed or something similar.

Tried the other aliases in the thread and nothing popped up.
 
with:
+ Figtree's funds
+ Figtree's connections
+ Figtree's streaming schedule
+ Figtree's audience
any user here would be able to deliver a COMPLETE furry earthbound rpgmaker clone within 6 years or less. just saying. could even hire some extra hands to make shitty png metadata args and file false strikes to allow for more time for actual development.
