Damn, I saw mald's tweet earlier but I didn't bother reading that chinese dude's article that he used in his defense, because frankly I did not care.
But seeing this video and how Mald was too lazy to read his own sources makes me laugh, because firstly, I suspected the article he links comes from a fan in his discord debating others in the debate channels, since Mald didn't actually bother to read it I imagine it doesn't come from his own source or even that of his team(shaye and mods), and behold, I was not disappointed lol
This one fan managed to get Mald to expose himself to sloptubers as someone who can't read, just perfect comedy.
Anyways, Mald's laziness or retardation when it comes to researching reminds me of a nothingburger drama that came up during onlyfangs.
Mald put out the short about how a wow microtransaction made more revenue than SC2.
original
Now, this short does seem plausible, it's insider info coming from a blizzard dev, he worked as a gametester on SC2, the sparkle pony horse was released around that time period, so it's plausible. And, even if he lied, atleast it isn't a massive lie, like nothing on the scale of lying to try and tear down people's legal and civil rights.
A huge nothingburger.
But what's interesting is what Mald posted on reddit afterwards when a redditor asked for clarity:

Now, when Mald explains his research, it once again exposes him as the retarded ass that he is, because this
horse microtransaction was given out for free by blizzard to people who logged into world of warcraft in feb 2023, 7 months before his short came out in september, and 9 before this reddit post. If he had just done 5 seconds of research on what he was talking about, he'd know that store mounts and old promotions from a decade+ ago were being given out for free by blizzard, and while the website's percentages are accurate, the percentage of owners doesn't indicate how many people actually spend money on the microtransaction.
The funniest part is that if he just kept his mouth shut and didn't respond, he'd be able to get away with that short due to plausible deniability, because honestly, I imagine that the horse was better for profit returns, and people at blizzard at the time joked about it making more total revenue because it's funny to think about, and his short doesn't mention the impact sc2 had compared to wow microtransactions, just the revenue, so it's actually believable.
That is, until he went and explained his half baked logic to people.
It's just such classic lolcow behaviour in tandem: barely do any research on a topic because you're lazy & never admit you're wrong because your ego.
