“I’m curious what this is about. I can’t recall any recent Twitch news that would warrant threats like this.”

Twitch allowing breastfeeding on cam was the most recent one I can think of

Not much of a dark horse option pinning it on an incel. I think they call that a "sure thing" at the track

Maybe the person was banned by Twitch. I wonder though, if someone really wanted to cause trouble, would they really call ahead of time? Wouldn’t it be more effective to attack when no one is expecting it?

Ninja leaving really angered some fans, no doubt. Perhaps angry at Twitch for not countering Microsoft’s offer?

My dark horse candidate is an enraged incel.  Nothing specific comes to mind, but there’s a lot of general anger about female streamers and adjacent “issues”, that if it were to come to light that this was the motivation, I would not be the least bit surprised.

Probably just another asshole who woke up hating the world.

Where will this bullshit end? When will these stunted fucking man-children get a grip, get what passes for a real life and stop all this absolute horseshit?

Straw man. Do better.

No mention of this?

Epic of course being disingenuous and ignoring the real reasons behind the Ooblets’ devs’ “harassment”

But TRADING CARDS and FRIEND LISTS and ZIP ZORPS and FLIM FLAMS

his personal life has nothing to do with this and someone being a cheater doesn’t make them worth less or dumber than anyone else. 

E3 was plagued with “Influencer” advertising. It made me want to go outside and yell at a cloud. I’m sure the youngins enjoyed the ‘Oh my goodness! That is so-and-so!’ moments, but for me it was just annoying padding that was distracting from game reveals.

And he got shot at while in his house!

“With a real goddamn job.” Not that your argument had much to stand on before that but you know without people having those jobs you don’t consider real, the country would collapse right? I assume of course you mean the more common jobs like fast food or waiters or the like. Think about if tomorrow no one showed up to…

“For one second. Would you want to put in three years of 40-80 hours a week on the product, then have sniveling assholes piss and moan at you directly” 

LOL! Thanks for letting us all know that you either have no principles or have no idea what a principle is. The amount of money spent or whether someone can afford it is not the point. Getting sold a AAA product and then having turn out to be a buggy, half finished, content-shy piece of garbage is the point.

You know what else hasn’t kept up with inflation? Wages. You know whose back the industry is built on? Ours. Yes, AAA suits fuck over their employees, like many huge employers, but that’s not on us. It’s like that so investors can put off realizing double digit year over year growth is not infinitely sustainable. If…

As someone with a real goddamn job who buys a lot of video games, I’m still incensed when one of them is released broken or with the gameplay skewed heavily to incentivize further purchases of microtransactions.  The saying “a fool is soon parted of his money” may apply to you if you think publishers (because I’m not…
