I don't get it. If I was Maldy, I feel like even at my most intensely narcissistic this immense amount of retaliation and whiplash from everyone and their fuckin gran about my shitty uninformed lie-laden coverage and responses to SKG would snap me out of my bullshit.

I know he's too far gone to ever make things right but... Idk. It seems the smart option is to throw your hands up and say: "I badmouthed something that is at least aspiring for the good of everyone in this community. I reserve some of my opinions but here's a link you should still support it if you believe in it."

Even if it got a couple hundred more signatures it's more dignified and more respectable than going on like he has been. I just don't understand that desire to double down like he always does. It's so genuinely fucking heinous it makes me sad.
Watch the Dr K interview if you haven't already. It sheds SO MUCH light onto Mald's persona, like everything just clicks and makes sense.
 
Narcissism. He must double down, triple double, and quadruple down because of his inflated sense of ego. He's similar to Nick Rekieta, he refuses to take accountability for lying and other misdeeds. When he's called out he tries his Internet tough guy shtick to silence dissenters. Like that one guy who had his game taken off Steam with a false DMCA claim, he has the money to go to court but that indie dev didn't. Luckily a pro Bono lawyer took the dev's case and wrote back to mald to remove it and the dev was in his rights to use malds voice clip. Instead of setting the record straight mald said he lifted the strike out of kindness. He's such a disingenuous faggot.
Unfortunately, the world we've built allows people like him, more or less, to get away with it. In the old world, being completely intolerable to your social web meant that at best, you'd be made a pariah by people you need to rely on, at worst, it'd get you punched in the face. Being able to live online means that you can find just enough impressionable people to reward you for being a shitbag, and none of the mechanisms of shame and ostracism that used to bully people into not being shitheads anymore still seem to apply.
 
We're already at over 61k current sigs, and under 7k daily required, with still 9 hours to go!

Are we about to break SKG's highest engagement record two days in a row kiwibros?

We as a human race have regressed. Over our entire existence we have developed the ability to discern. I can take one look at a person and know if I should avoid them or interact with them. Over thousands of years we've learned how to tell if someone is genuine or if they are a fake. His fan base must be full of retards that lack this ability, because if they can't see through an obvious facade of a human being, then let them be scammed, robbed, and beaten by others that seek to do ill will.

He needs to maintain the self-delusion that he's superior, whether it's intellectually, experientially, or morally. He can't disengage from that basic narcissistic requirement and "admit he was wrong" or whatever, because anything that "takes" from his ego is like a mortal wound.

Condescension and "snark" (up until he gets checked, which is when he always disengages) and perpetual victimhood are two of his self-defence strategies to achieve that. Take a look at him in this thread.

Actually trying to condescend a legitimate developer ("As a dev, you know that though. Right?") and getting rolled so hard paragraph after paragraph he stopped replying. The problem is these well-credentialled devs don't realise he's a fraud - they think he's worked as a dev somewhere and treat him like he's a peer because he acts like one, which just perpetuates the myth of him among the clueless millions who still watch his shorts, and his core community of retards.

I suspect it's also about him wanting to feel like he's part of the shitty AAA space that never really accepted him during his "career", which would be another narcissistic need.
 
Call it petty but I hope the aftermath of this is that a large amount of the normienet will forever remember what Jason did and every time he tries to have authority on something he just gets shut down. I want normies to be the slightly petty assholes they usually are and casually roast him on X. I want him to look everywhere but his hugbox and seeing people of all creeds and races basically say, "Hey. Aren't you that bitch who tried fucking us over? Shut the fuck up".

Just imagine! Imagine something fucking stupid and inconsequential like terraria mechanics and Jason is explaining how it's best to get whip weapons to kill eye of cthulhu and everyone just tells him to shut the fuck up.

everything I've found out about piratesoftware and his community makes me lose faith in humanity.

It's legit cult-like behaviour. Facts don't matter and knowledge isn't real. They don't seek out the bazillion real devs who have shown support for this thing and, y'know, might know best...

No, their leader is operating at a "higher level", and is the source of truth. They see him as a god, whether they realise it or not.

I'm not trying to get political, but it was shocking seeing one of them in there equate SKG supporters to anti-vaxxers when they're the ones denying the flood of industry experts championing this initiative. Like holy shit someone is off their meds.

Made worse by their leader being one of the biggest incompetent frauds on the internet, somehow of all the people to parasocially worship, they choose a dude who fabricates the entirety of his career and content, and even does a poor job with the fabrication since he's an incompetent nincompoop
