I have never seen a single indie game that MTXes. I wouldn't consider star citizen an indie game ore a game for that matter.

Path of Exile before getting bought up by tencent was indie with microtransactions, but it's also f2p so they've got to have a revenue stream from something. There's probably some other f2p games out there with mtx, but again if they're actually f2p that shouldn't be a big deal.

If you want another (fairly old now!) example of an indie with clear MTX (aside from just its "pack" DLCs) then there is 8BitMMO, though I grant you that it's also a free game otherwise just like PoE.

That aside, it was already mentioned prior in this thread that the initiative has now breached the 60% mark, but Jesus. I only just woke up about an hour and a half ago, and I see that it's already at 606k signatures, with almost 10k so far just today before it's even hit noon in Brussels et al.



We're on very good pace still. Let's hope this keeps up!

E: 25 mins later and the 10k signatures mark for the day has been breached, moving onto almost 11k. Y'all bitch-ass niggas ought to put your rainbows away :^)

Imagine paying Maldy (god the horror) just to have everyone hear this on the text to speech. Jesus christ, get some help. (For anyone new: this is from his Maldcord server. The channel is called #answered-tts and when people donate to Mald, their message is put into a queue. When he decides to finally play the next tts in line, it creates a timestamp of when it plays on stream in that channel along with the message and Mald either responds or, if its something he hates, skips over it and says something smug.)

No idea how people have never called out how this furry's entire platform is centered around giving him money whether it's his absurdly long tts queues to give shitty advice or his 'give me lots of money' contests where he tries to break hype train records. It's always been so obvious what he cares about.

 

[I Just Can't Do It :(]

Do you think its possible, if it seems it will hit the signatures, for him or his handlers to try to cancel it with some MSM faggot attack similar to gamergate?
"This is just a hArassment campaign against an LGBT game developer by neonazis"

I doubt it. He's up to his eyeballs in shit that he's created for himself. The evidence is already here and everywhere that he has always been the offending party. Anything he claims has A) already been debunked or B) will be debunked.

Edit: This is would be the blow to his massive faggot ego and would further his downfall should SKG beat the deadline. So, I actually do hope he puts something out so we can jump him for that as well.

i respectfully ask people to stop calling him "thor"

it's jason. he's an absolute jason

I doubt he has enough clout to get press coverage, and without clout i don't think MSM in America would care about him or some initiative in the EU about gayming.

I'm gonna be honest, I don't think maldy boy actually gives a flying fuck about Ross' proposals, which is why he offered no real feedback. I think what happened is, he took one look at Ross, figured he could shit on the dude's initiative and twist it in his favor to get brownie points from his audience(m-muh industry integrity!), the same way he tries to make every situation benefit him in some way. I think he also thought that after he took a dump on Ross, that would be the end of it. He got to rip a guy apart, stomp on his ideas, and walk away looking the better of it while trotting around on his moral high-horse.

He's such a despicable faggot I lean heavily into this theory. The ultimate joy would be the initiative passing, and him going down as it's single detractor, even though he didn't really even care about it.

Milk's late, sorry.

Jason's first appearance since his SKG Twitter response

General smugness and stubbornness:

Explaining the function of his new chat ban-bot "Heimdall":

General whining about the consequences of his own actions:

"Just admit you're wrong..." - and his response:

Getting a little impatient with Khronos:

Completely talks over Khronos who has his own smug opinion on SKG when responding to chatter:

Growing frustration at Khronos:

More retarded ban-bot explanation:

Mid-story-time-with-dickrider-Khronos, answers a completely separate conversation from chat:

Talking about Heartbound's Steam discussion page and his role at Offbrand Games:

 

[Dredd2022]

He's such a fucking groomer, like his mannerisms and the facade he presents is all to impress sad little faggots on the interwebs. Who the fuck can watch him completely misrepresent, and completely make up shit, to purposefully damage a pro-consumer initiative, and defend it? He's a fucking scab.

 

[Roachbound]

twist it in his favor to get brownie points from his audience(m-muh industry integrity!)

I'd just add that it was probably done to get brownie points with his father's industry connections(i.e gaming execs). But I agree, Mald really underestimated how much pushback his bullshit would get back in august '24, when his only detractors that cared were like, eve online dudes.

If I'm remembering correctly... Global variables can introduce security concerns within programs... So why does nearly program "he made" that I hear him talk about always use a global of something??? Isn't he supposed to be a security expert?

Then he says "refute without attacking me" like he just didn't do that to Ross. What a fucking hypocrite.

I'm sorry I don't mean to be that guy, but for someone who is allegedly as smart as Jason says he is.. why is he calling a piece of software a fucking robot? There's no mechanical parts involved. Does he really not understand the difference between a bot and a robot? God help him if he has to define an android.

I'm gonna guess he skipped school a lot as a kid. Anyone know the deal with his mother? I can tell his father was absent, dude is a pussy.

Global variables are a concern for developers for lots of reasons, they're described as unsafe because it's easy to accidentally cause unintended side effects when one block of code you write overwrites a global variable being used by another block of code, it's also easy to accidentally shadow a global variable by declaring a local variable with the same name and then wondering why things aren't working, etc.

It's not a cybersecurity issue, but rather a troglodyte way of developing software which is equally indicative of his incompetence.

 

[CAPTAIN HAPPY]

Don't know if it's just the algorithm, but youtube can't stop suggesting constant breatduber beef on Fiigtree being stupid, all videos no older than a few days.

Also concerning the main page headline, even if the petition doesn't go through and the furry bastard gets his tinny little w, the fallout from his adamant dedication to be a thickheaded contrarian will fuck up his game dev career forever. That is assuming he'd ever finish making a game in the first place.

I'm going to seppuku myself this is taking ages. Done.

It was not worth it. I've never been so autistic in my life I don't know how you guys do this shit.

He's done this multiple times, using his borderline fraudulent experience as a game developer and generally positive reputation to become the biggest voice and 'good guy' on an issue. He did it with the helldivers drama (psn not supporting certain foreign countries or whatever) making it seem like sony is the devil and he is a paragon of good looking out for the little guy. He also did it with palworld, coming to the defense of the community manager and congratulating them on their success despite that studio having a long history of actually harmful game dev practices like early access asset flip scamming, abandoning early access games, and ai assets in other games (but suspiciously no confirmation of that in palworld, weird!). Coincidentally, he also had 10k+ viewers while streaming palworld. It makes sense though as the Palworld devs are doing the same grift except instead of pretending to be experienced like MALD they're pretending to be inexperienced uwu little guy devs that can't do anything wrong. PiRAT probably thought he could get away with it again using Ross as another stepping stone to a greater audience that praises him and his intellect.

 

[Frightened Rabbit]

Isn't he supposed to be a security expert?

His explanation is that he wanted this, he says he even hides stuff in his code that is not accessible so that you have to hack the save to put yourself in that space.
To quote him, "I want you to hack the game", disregard you can do this without fucking your codebase up.

[Not Yet Implemented]

If I'm remembering correctly... Global variables can introduce security concerns within programs... So why does nearly program "he made" that I hear him talk about always use a global of something??? Isn't he supposed to be a security expert?

The primary problem with global variables is visibility: having part of the application's state accessible outside the context where it's relevant. This can make debugging difficult, especially if you get into the habit of accessing them in an undisciplined manner everywhere. Then every part of the application's behavior starts to depend on every other part, and you get a spaghetti code monstrosity. For example: Dark Souls uses global variables for progress flags (and worse: reuses variables for different parts), and there are places where this in fact causes a conflict. This kind of thing can lead to security issues, but usually indirectly. I can think of contrived scenarios where it causes an issue directly, but it's more that spaghetti code is really hard to make secure.

Having said that, exposing data to the rest of the application is also the legitimate use case for global variables. Taking Mald at face value, (because I know nothing about the scripting environment he's talking about and I can't be arsed to look it up,) this could well be a legitimate use case, assuming there isn't a better way to share data between actions.

He's 100% bullshitting with the global array in Heartbound though. A sane way to do that is to assign IDs to strings, refer to IDs in the code, and have an i18n library pull data from a text file. That preserves the benefit of being able to quickly edit text, but prevents you from going insane having to remember which array index you store that particular string at, if you use descriptive identifiers.

To quote him, "I want you to hack the game", disregard you can do this without fucking your codebase up.

If the idea is to teach hacking to newbies, adding retarded hurdles works counter to that goal. If the idea is to give a puzzle to experienced hackers, it is such a weak one that it's insufferable faggot behavior and almost an insult to a intelligence anyone who'd want a CTF challenge. So this is either another post-hoc rationalization, or he wanted to make a CTF puzzle without learning how to make a good CTF.
