The clip shows neither in a good light, but part of me wonders if the dad is just tired of Jason's bullshit and lashed out. He seems particularly upset about it, but a live stream certainly isn't a place to air out your grievances.
Seems like stream is the only time to air his grievances seeing as the last time mald texted his dad was a year ago for his last birthday. I get mald is a busy man fucking ferrets to death all day long, but not texting your own parent for over a year is rough.

Shaye/Stijn get 25% of every sale of Heartbound each. Stijn also gets 100% of every OST sale. The 50% I get just goes into the company pile for other objectives like paying staff and running the rescue.
So this confirms Shaye wasn't paid upfront for Shartbound's art which is arguably the best part of the game, and I'm pretty sure she's not getting paid to be the Head Ferretwrangler. Lord knows she's not getting paid anything now at the rate the game is selling. Remember that 30 minute straight haranguing Jason gave her over a pixel sign not being the dimensions he wanted? Publicly, too. I wonder if she's getting commissioned on the side because I have no idea how she could be sustaining herself financially.

Not gonna lie, I'm surprised he never blamed the slow progress of the game on creating artwork for it. Because doing it by hand takes a MASSIVE amount of time. And Shaye would probably make 1000x more money sticking to her weird furry porn (sad but true). Having a single artist for his ambitions with the game is crazy.
I recommend this review of his game because he points out how the game DOESN'T EVEN HAVE REAL PUZZLES, but literal baby handheld stages https://youtube.com/watch?v=-BNWD5IibOc
Holy shit, I thought people who said this game is about his mommy issues were joking, but it's true lmfao
So, what's the big inciting event here? Jason's dog/ferret died? Yeah, it sucks, but it it really worth making an entire game out of? What a fucking loser lmfao
At least the premise for Yandere Simulator was kind of interesting, at least before YandereDev took the initial premise completely off the rails.
Champions of Breakfast is a very boring copy-and-paste schmup. You could copy it entirely by following a tutorial, and you'll probably make it twice as fast and twice as good.
Heartbound uses almost exclusively the most tedious of RPG tropes for its gameplay. It doesn't have random encounters or combat growth, so it's more like a walking simulator with a combat minigame. Worse yet, the story has zero emotional challenge whatsoever. Every text box is utterly milquetoast, bland, forgettable.
Heartbound really tells a lot about him. Jason is incapable of writing emotional challenge because he is utterly terrified of the very prospect of his ego being challenged at all. What a specimen.
Reminder that at least the art (sprites & animations) for Champions of Breakfast was allegedly outsourced to someone who did not get compensation for their work. Note the "percentage of sales" rhetoric that he previously mentioned re: Shaye and the Shartbound OST composer. Granted, the source of the info is secondhand, but still worth taking into account imo.
If you have 7tv with moderator logs checked on Twitch, you can see the bans still by leaving a tab open with his stream paused. He's doing about 100 permabans an hour this stream so far. I admire his mission to ban the planet! Oh, and I got gifted a sub even though I don't even follow his channel and have the stream paused. Hilarious!
Second time that I glimpsed at his face in a thumbnail in my reccomended and I thought it was Keffals before I looked a second time. To doofensmirtz quote, Wow, if I had a nickel for every time I mistook this guy for Keffals I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice!
Mald's dad just said on his stream that he was in mald's chat earlier and said "happy birthday" 3 times before mald noticed.
Said he has tried to raid him multiple times but mald ends his stream every time.
Then said "no he's a good kid I'm glad we kept him *laughs*".
edit: he's wearing a FATHOR t-shirt

So funny that his dad actually develops on stream. Someone that was just a Cinematic director (an excellent one) and not a dev.
I hope he doesn't get too much shit from all of these, he looks like a nice guy, he's just a shitty parent. (or maybe I'm wrong and it's like father like son)

is mald's grandmother rich? and is she dying? if both are true then he isn't lying because he probably wants the inheritance too bigger his ferret harem.

I just watched Harmful Opinions' playthrough and Mald's game is such a boring slog. It's one of those dime-a-dozen RPGMaker-style pixel walking simulators with loads and loads of dialogue and very little gameplay.
Apologies if this has already been said, I've been skimming the highlights.
So, you have to save your talking dog and kill the monster that you assume was responsible for kidnapping him, but oh noes, it turns out the dog IS the monster! You can kill the monster or you can purposefully fail the final attack to spare it, but it doesn't matter because in the end it gets split into 3 pieces by a sentient book and each piece gets sent to a different realm.
The forest realm is Animus and it's populated by furries. Several of these furries immediately ask to hang out with you within 5 minutes of meeting you, and if you refuse the game treats you like you're a vile and ungrateful asshole. There's a cougar furry that literally fucking disintegrates if you tell her no and you later have to fight her vengeful spirit. There's something immensely interesting about a furfag making a game where the furries go "accept us without question or we'll kill you and/or ourselves".
The ghost realm is the Tower and it's where I started mentally tuning out because it's SO. DAMN. BORING. The entire level consists of doing menial office tasks and acting as the errand boy for some ghost crocodile supervisor. It's like Mald put all of his pent-up hatred of working at Blizzard in this level and wanted you to feel as miserable as he did. At the end of it you get treated to a showing of his mommy issues. Not even joking, it's just him complaining that his mom was against his father coddling him.
The ice realm is currently unfinished and you can't get past the introduction. It's named Niflheim, just so you get that this was made by Jason THOR Hall.
This thing's a boring 3deep5me walking simulator that will never be complete, but you know what? It's quite interesting as a dive into Mald's mind.
I actually played the first demo just to see if sparing the dog monster made a difference (it didn't) and holy shit the movement speed is so unbearably slow.
A big chunk of the plot is you walking around while the schizo voices in your head tell you you're worthless.
The morality boils down to two dialogue choices: one where you're a sycophant who agrees with everyone and one where you're an antagonistic asshole for no reason (except in the furry bit where being an "antagonistic asshole" is saying no).
Like HO pointed out, every time you choose the "evil" option the game wags its finger and reminds you that your actions have consequences like it's SammyClassicSonicFan.
The boss fights are WarioWare minigames that go on long after they stopped being fun because the bosses have too much damn health.
Mald is shit at names, we've got such brilliant names as Lore the protagonist, Baron the talking dog, Binder the librarian and G8r the ghost gator.
Most of Lore's portraits show him crying, it gets pretty pathetic after a while.
The music is very repetitive and the art is standard bubbly troon pixel art (which iirc was made by a pooner, so no surprises there).
Edit: I almost forgot, there are collectible socks scattered across the game. Yes, socks. The more you collect, the more they pile up in your room when you choose to rest after saving.
Don't eat the flowers.
And ease up with the ellipses ffs. Also, this is him trying to describe what his dog is to him after being asked if he's a friend.
Mald showing off his family issues for all the world to see. Also his parents are black.
