Seriously? There's a fucking Know Your Meme page about this shit now (as of two weeks ago, apparently).
Really.
No idea how accurate that write-up is, for either side, as I still haven't watched and still probably won't watch the video in question from the Accursed Farms side, nor do I have any interest in watching anything at all (about this or anything else) from the Pirate Software side[1], nor anything from any of the tertiary orbits either way (or neutral).
[1] - I've already learned way more about this dude than I ever cared to, and everything I've seen and heard so far makes him seem like an astoundingly overbearing asshat. Aside from that, he is/was a dev or something on some recently released shithole live service game[2], apparently, so that likely explains why he's been spewing feces all over "Stop Killing Games," I guess. And there's also the fact that he joined Blizzard in 2009 and worked there for something like six or seven years, which was right around the beginnings of Blizzard's abject hubris and subsequent plummet from grace, so that also tracks. That, alone, tells me plenty enough. Oh, and he was apparently kicked out of a WoW guild at some point or some shit? *apathetic shrug* That's around when I decided to step out of the Pirate Software rabbit (shit)hole and clean the crap off my foot.
[2] - The phrase "shithole live service game" is a pleonasm/tautology/redundancy, of course.

His involvement in the whole SKG drama outside of the videos he posted almost a year ago has pretty much just been "I don't want to talk about it" but the drama farmers refuse to let it go. I don't care how unpopular someone's opinion is, people have been flooding him with literal death threats (he's been doxxed and SWAT'd multiple times) over this shit.
