Jason Thor Hall, AKA PirateSoftware, AKA Maldavius Figtree, is in the dramaslop news again after stirring up shit with the Ashes of Creation development team.
For reference, Ashes of Creation was a Kickstarter MMO that has been milking its fans dry for years now, selling alpha test packages and in-game mounts and microtransactions for hundreds of dollars despite not even being in a closed beta state after almost a decade. In one of the most obvious rugpulls ever, after earning as much as it could through its Kickstarter, the game launched on Steam in mid-December and suddenly overnight announced it would be shutting down just a week ago. Mald has been one of the biggest advocates for this game and famously quit Classic WoW after the Great Rouchout of 2024 to play Ashes as his exclusive MMO. (The irony of Mald, a staunch anti-StopKillingGames critic, losing the game he shilled for years is not lost on anyone.)
Mald's crusade against the team has been over the poor in-game moderation and the lack of punishment for repeat offenders. Jason claims the moderation team was only giving out warnings to players who were praising Hitler, calling for the death of trannies, and calling players slurs. Because of this perceived lack of action, he has effectively put the entire development team on his list and will be doing everything in his power to make sure any game they work on will not succeed. (I'm not exaggerating; he literally said they're on a list.)
In response to this, the community manager has released DMs of their conversation, where it was revealed that they actually were banning players for these reports. In actuality, the reason Mald has called for a fatwa against the development team is because the devs only gave a warning to a brave Kiwi who called him a Ferret Fucker and congratulated him on his KF thread popping off.
