I missed this, apparently he talked about it on stream too. Totally not assmad at all.

"I'm coming at this from a game developer perspective." Mald is as much of a game developer as a high schooler playing with Unity, arguably less so. He does have skin in the game though, he's a literal corporate shill that knows if he says the wrong things he might hurt his bottom line with sponsorships or Offbrand, the publisher he is involved with. Dogshit behavior.

My god, he deleted it.

Edit: Totally not malding

Why did you delete your original post that had his tweet?

Spoiler: Tweet

46:00 - Ross: Does he just say anything? Is that why he's popular?
Subtle unintentional insult from Ross.

And speaking of, there's a comment on his video:

Notice again how Ross has never said anything bad about Jason. He always goes for his arguments and not personal attacks.

It's absurd for Ross to think he's possibly "too volatile for peoples' tastes." Ross is not volatile at all, all of the volatility here stems from Mald. All of it...

Throwback to super hacker take from Maldy that always triggers me. Decades of people working on formal understanding of software, yet reddit midwit will come and proclaim that programming is magic.

Mald wants to present the image of programming as being magic so people see him as performing magic, he's basically a god. This is another case of "complex = good, simple = bad," actual notable programmers say the opposite of what Mald says and are much more humble when talking about it to the unacquainted. Kernighan, Ritchie, Thompson, Stroustrup, Linus, John Carmack, Knuth, Larry Wall, etc for example. Then there's Jason "Mald" Hall who presents himself as a programmer to try and impress others.

I'm not defending it. I'm speaking matter of factly of the reality of live service games. I see his point, but within the literal example, that's essentially what it is: renting space. You have a right to push back against those practices however you see fit or just accept the conditions given from the developer/publisher with the understanding that times have changed.

Mutahar made the correct point: If we called it what it is, "renting" and that is how it was presented, more would be upset.

If you want to talk about the topic at hand, there's probably a better place for it on the farms and if not throw it in mass debates.

 

[potato sack]

Can somebody refute my post of why you disagree or where I went wrong instead of just personal attacks?

when i put the item in the cart it says buy, and afterwards confirm purchase

not 'sign up for this temporary service that may end whenever fuck i want'. that's tucked away in the eula, that still classifies it as a purchase

ross' point wasnt even this. sure, make a live service game, but when you're done with it, leave it in a playable state, rather than turning it into digital junk

leaving on a playable state can mean anything from 'keep the single player portion of it in without access to the internet' to 'release the server binaries'. it was never specified

maldy's point is he learned all his game developer knowledge at blizzard after diablo 2 and wotlk were released so hes a fucking industry shill

 

[snowdunes]

Imagine being on the side of history opposing:
>Buy a game
>It just works
Anyone who is against this is a phone nigger or a corpo kike.

Because he think that his developer larp is on pair with being a corporate magnate, which he's fucking not. Remember, his dad was a former employee at Blizzard (not a dev) and that's where his portfolio ends, he's a fraud. In his yandere like mind, he thinks his Game Maker slop "game" is matching his imaginary "over a decade of hacker expertise + Activision developer" portfolio and to implement anti-piracy measures on this slop, because he really think his shovelware is at that level. There are so many segments where he spergs out with corpo speech and how the "game market" work. That's his grift, to pretend to be a some type of authority in the gayming world, like those "CEO/investment" youtubers and self-improvment influencers.

That's why he is a corpo kike, he thinks his "product" needs the protection that big corpos have and to keep the illusion that he's a "professional" dev and not just a retarded nepo baby who can't code.

Edit: His dad was not even a dev.

 

[Aidan]

Remember, his dad was a former dev at Blizzard and that's where his portfolio ends, he's a fraud.

His dad wasn't a developer, he was a project manager and director that was involved with the cinematic stuff. But yeah Mald cites "Blizzard employee" and deliberately conflates things so people believe Mald himself was a Blizzard dev that worked on WoW.

 

[30+GameOvers]

You know, Ross not blasting him out openly and simply debunking his arguments and being in disbelief at how retarded he is might be even better. Ross has both the high ground(altho he never lost it) and he makes Jason look like an uneducated dum-dum. The indirect jabs made at him are funny, too. I have a feeling Ross would do great at IBS, sort of like a centrist, less annoying DesTINY maybe.
I wonder how much seethe Ross calling him Maldavius Figtree even once would produce.

 

[cigint]

begging for the state to decide what is legal and what is illegal is what caused most of the mess

How do you propose to avoid this? Whatever entity other than the state, that you would endow with the power to make and enforce laws, would subsequently become the state. Anything else is rhetorics. There is no way to avoid this relationship between the two, unless you're willing to forego law entirely and live in direct ad hoc might-makes-right society, essentially at the level of a tribe of niggers.

Other big names are noticing.

Mutahar actually talked about SKG last year, but instead of wholeheartedly supporting the petition (despite having several videos where he discusses the importance of game preservation), he decided to do his regular middle of the road bullshit in order to not offend Jason.
Now, with any traction gone, Jason being the butt of the joke and a month left on the clock, he pretends like this was always near and dear to his heart.

Muta likely wouldn't have made much of a dent in the numbers given his audience is also predominantly North American, but he shouldn't go acting like he was always a champion of this cause when all he has to show for it is a toothless video from nearly a year ago and this. He also waited until Keffals became an acceptable target to release his video on him.

Like I said, as soon as Ross got into the mud pit, it started gaining traction.
Truth is, Ross is just too normal a guy to advertise to the youtube gaming crowd, he has too much morals.

[Rock Eater]

hey, just a heads up his recent Vod hes really getting upset about it. If somebody could please archive it quickly. That would be great. I’m phone posting so I’m not able to.

 

[419]

You have a right to push back against those practices however you see fit

...which is exactly the right that Ross exercised to begin with, allowing him to campaign for wider pushback knowing full well that there were enough paste-eating retards who wouldn't.

Do you even remember what the fuck you read earlier (or didn't) that you're now trying to "argue" against?

 

[Love Machine]

Glad to see pirate software being scalped as he should, corpo shill.

Ah yes. Slop commentator number 88 has made a 8 to 10 minute video about a topic that has become acceptable to cover (because upsetting trannies or any other chronically online group is to scary and unprofitable)

Charlie being big safe normie tuber in this case is actually good. It might open flood gates for other normie tubers to record video on SKG dunking on Maldy.
It's basically social signaling that SKG = good, Maldy = bad.
That will be massive blow to Maldy. I hope for prime Kino.

I wonder if his grifting friends like Prime or Theo will come to defend him this time.

Theo already did, he posted a video that's linked earlier in the thread.

Charlie covering this is how you know Mald is absolutely COOKED.

The Eye of Sauron is starting to shift its gaze towards the rabid egotistical furry

 

[Senator Phobos]

You can tell a lot by a guy who has contempt for somebody with almost 0 irredeemable qualities like Ross. I can only pray that one day, this furfag gets his proper comeuppance. If another campaign like SKG comes along, I expect to be a lot more aggressive than this one.

 

[That Other Dude's Persona]

Besides L. Rossman, what content creator even went hard against Mald when it was really needed? (I know Ross mentioned a bunch of people but I don't recall many responses to Jason).
It seems to me no big content creators went against Mald when he was at the height of his popularity. Now that the WoW incident hurt his clout, suddenly people are finding their balls.

John Strife Hayes was talking about it last year when the initiative was relevant and didn't do the middle of the road cuck shit, he was 100% behind the initiative and against Jason's opinion.
