Mald is either making most of this shit up or he's the biggest retard on the planet. I'm pretty sure the one piece of advice that the police will give to anyone getting swatted no matter the circumstance is to not talk about the incident online. Guess he just can't help himself.

The craziest thing to me personally is that I COULD believe Jason would suffer a logging shit like this. It's not unreasonable with groups like the sharty roaming around. However, he's done this whole song and dance so many fucking times before that it feels like the boy who cried racist. I just don't care anymore because 1) he doesn't show any type of proof of any of it, 2) this is a classic tactic by faggots online who get into controversy AKA "Muh death threats" and 3) You would think that with what happened in his past, Jason would have informed the police that they would receive false reports about this. I guess the world's most smartest defcon haxor blizzard coder can't think of let's see

calling the police
or better yet, logging the fuck off of social medias besides whatever he needs to keep making money.

[Measured Kong]

If he wants to use that analogy, then the "industry side" regulation is more like cigarettes. It's fucking cancer and the only way to reign these fuckwads in is by government regulation.

Well, it’s just especially retarded because it compares apples to oranges. The soda companies really don’t benefit much from adding more caffeine to a drink. Video game companies have an obvious incentive to be lazy and not care about end of life plans. This is addressed in Ross’s first video on the subject.
This kind of argument shouldn’t really be given much attention, however. This is exactly like that one image online of the smug looking guy saying “yeah, I may not believe any of these things, but if I play with your principals, maybe I can get you to do what I want.”

 

[Gottahavemysips]

This faggot uses a classroom analogy to complain about government regulation, because he's probably a fucking minor.

God, this is so braindead. They self regulated because they were afraid of the government taking action. They wouldn't bother doing that in a world where the government never takes action. Video games have become unbearable because they constantly push the envelope and are pretty blatantly unafraid of the potential of getting regulated. The closest thing I've seen over the last 15 years is reluctantly lightly changing lootbox mechanics because politicians started looking into that, only to instantly replace those with a battle pass system. I don't really think you can say it's self regulation when, in the absence of potential regulation, they steam on ahead with terms that are stacked against the consumer.

I don't doubt people are fucking with him in those ways - But he's absolutely a fucking retard. He might be a "gamer internet personality" but I had a feeling from the get-go he had no idea what kind of hornets nest he was kicking. He doesn't really understand the internet despite making a living on it, because his corner of the internet he carved out is a hugbox and he's willingly ignored everything going on outside of it.

When you come out and make a statement like "Eat my whole ass, fuck consumer protection. Corporations deserve to rail you." to a guy as well liked as Ross, that starts an ember. When you Double and triple down on it, it becomes a fire. When you play the victim AFTER doubling down, that pours gasoline on the fire and you're officially in lolcow territory. At that point, if you're lucky, the a-logs will just send you unpaid pizza. If you're not, they'll swat you or vandalize your shit. I don't CONDONE this, mind you

 

[A T.V. Hating Mutant]

A good example, I think, of the industry self-regulating is the ESRB.

Great example. Necessity breeds innovation.

The current live service market will not induce games preservation in the slightest. Live service is so highly lucrative that these publishers cannot resist trying to get some of that pie, scrambling over each other like crack addicts. With the rate that these games are pumped out and abandoned(as well as staff hired and fired) as cheaply as possible, preserving them is not even 1% on the minds of these greedy corpo d-bags.

He only says shit like that, because the gubment told him it was wrong to butt-fuck teenagers as a 30 something.

They keep saying Ross hates live service games. Has he ever said that?

Imagine having so few friends, you have to hang out with autistic children in your discord and use them a back patters, because the entire rest of gaming culture thinks you're a fuckwit.

 

[Fats McGee]

They keep saying Ross hates live service games. Has he ever said that?

Even if he did hate live service games, I'd hardly call that irrational. In most cases, there's little to no benefit to making a game live service for the player - Only to the dev. What few benefits the format holds have been far outweighed by the scummy behavior it creates. But I have to remind myself, most people in Mald's discord and in the gaming scene as a whole are young. They barely remember a time before every game had a battle pass and a 2 year roadmap of menial updates to tempt you to come back and spend more money. Nor do they understand how narrow their understanding is. As they say, you don't know what you don't know.

 

[1983 Opel Kadett]

It's entirely possible he was pressured to resign, to save face. I'm betting it came down to either he leaves or some indie devs stop doing business with them

I'd say offbrand games is doomed anyways having another narcissist faggot Ludwig at the helm

Some Malding from the skg-thunderdome room (sorry if some of these have been posted already)

Edit: Didn't know he made a Xitter post T/A



My response:

They're referring to the making of the containment





Response to him leaving Offbrand


No more Open Sauce for Maldy



Or Defcon




So much for being an internet tough guy, huh Mald?





Made a bot command for his dicksucord

It's not irrational to hate live service games. Live service games are a poison on the gaming industry. The game is just a skinner box designed to exploit gambling addicts and children.

 

[The ATF Disliked That]

most people in Mald's discord and in the gaming scene as a whole are young. They barely remember a time before every game had a battle pass and a 2 year roadmap of menial updates to tempt you to come back and spend more money.

It's the only type of industry that they know about. They never experienced the 2000s like 80s and 90s born did. Pop in your game and play it:

The game was as complete as it could be and they had no choice in doing so. Make a complete game that could turn a profit, or lose a shit ton of money and possibly close the studio worst case scenario.

Here's another meme to summarise:

i think theyre just morons, whenever i see a kid hear that you used to just buy the game, own it, cosmetics were unpaid unlockables and fun secrets, and that dlc was essentially an extra mini game ala ultima they say that sounds a lot better than today. i think his audience might just actually be completely mentally disabled invalid waterheads whod be put down by the government in a sane society .all this is lashing out that lax govs allow them to exist in this cruel mockery of a life

What few benefits the format holds

i cant think of any. its like saying we need feudalism and tithes because it benefits the worker .... you know some how by being someones property. its just a blatant lie, its companies kicking us in the balls and calling it an indian healing dance and were racist if we groan. its brazen bs. their mothers oughta be slapped for not slapping them for telling lies is what it fuckin is.

 

[I mean I'm just saying]

Jason: Uhm ackchually an API is just an interface

Okay I don't want to dev sperg too hard because I'm no genius but this smells so bad I had to pop it open
Link, GhostArchive

"APIs? You might be talking about a distributed architecture and here's a retarded reason why that can't happen"

No, he's talking about the "communication bridge" with the server and client you technobabble-slinging poser retard. You define the API so that even if it isn't feasible to distribute your server code users can re-create fan servers at EoL without having to go through the rigamarole of reverse-engineering everything.
It's not that hard to understand when you're not trying to bluff your way into being the smartest guy in the room. Also, dear god do those smug, exasperated ellipses in his Discord message get my blood boiling.

He's being intentionally obtuse and missing the point the developer is making. That "if you plan ahead for the game to be shut off this isn't an issue." He's dancing around the obvious point because he knows he can't actually disagree with it if he was honest.

 

[Well Intentioned]

They keep saying Ross hates live service games. Has he ever said that?

I swear people are just misconstruing what he says deliberately.

My understanding is that all he's really advocating for is a way to keep games running if a publisher decides to shut down the servers or whatever. Basically provide the backend or a way to play the game locally for those who want to devote the resources to it.

It is really baffling anyone would take issue with this, especially since I refuse to watch any more of Maldy than I have to (ie not at all.)

INTERNET HATE MACHINE

- An ARG

Is he sure he didn't get fired just for being extremely lame and lazy? Imagine your gamedev superstar takes god knows how much time and comes back with a non-game.

He is either delusional or was looking for a excuse to walk out.

 

[Vince McMahon]

It's impressive. The more Mald continues, the more unlikeable he makes himself to be. The tone, the smugness - it presses all the buttons for me to hate him genuinely, without mitigating circumstances of him being a schizophrenic, for example.

 

[Nicholas II of Russia]

Total Hatemachine Victory.
