  • So for 1, here’s a pretty explicit quote where he does speak out against the harassment “I call on everyone to reject harassment in all its forms.” @cynicalbrit (first comment).

    Definitely unfortunate that while he was attempting to champion the cause for a discussion on ethics (which he had been involved with for years when that all happened), the mantle got co-opted by a bunch of terrible people. But at best I can only blame him for thinking he could right the ship at that point, and that’s not a large enough mistake for me to define him by.

    He definitely didn’t “yell into camera”, both because he was just projecting his voice (I’m constantly confused when people can’t distinguish loud from yell) and most videos didn’t actually feature a camera shot. He was known for a lot more than his criticisms for devs for things like 30 FPS locks: he was an excellent color commentator for SC2, he prolifically provided coverage for indie games and was a huge consumer advocate.

    As he relates to the topic at hand, he was a giant reliable source of gaming recommendations of his day and it’s disingenuous to suggest there haven’t historically been highly influential, reliable and quality creators to assist people in discovering games.




  • They could easily put a toggle on so people can choose to enable cross play, off by default. If console folks want to subject themselves to people using mice, that’s their own fault, and nobody who didn’t want to would need to play with them.

    There might be other reasons for the delay that are more contractual in nature to get sorted out.
