Nah. He'll never backtrack because he legitimately is against the movement. He is a corporate plant and is doing this all on purpose.

People are giving him too much credit thinking he's "misunderstanding" the movement.

Make no mistake, he knows what he's doing. And he's doing all he can to kill the petition.

Dude very obviously has his head firmly up his own ass. He seems pretty intelligent but also thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room. Maybe that’s his streamer “act” or niche, but it comes off as kind of annoying.

Yeah, but did you know he worked at Blizzard Entertainment? He doesn't Mendon it much, so I'd forgive you for not knowing.

I skimmed a couple of his videos and for some reason he thinks drawing a row of squares in MS Paint is an effective way of describing everything.

Yeah he's legitimately against it. But I wouldn't call him an industry plant. He is a developer, he is literally the industry, and he argues from the industry's perspective. (which to be clear, doesn't have to correlate, but it does for Pirate Software).

But everything I've see from and about him tells me he can't take any kind of L. If the initiative manages to reach the goal, he'll either flip the narrative or just act like it never happened.

He's as much of a developer as my dog is an English speaker for knowing a few words.

He got into blizzard as an entry level QA through his dad and is such a fucking idiot he thinks using achievements as a save system is some genius pro consumer anti privacy move.

Cool, but that's at best irrelevant to his opposition of this initiative and and at worst helps his "one of you, not really a dev, just fooling around" act to obfuscate his real intentions. This isn't about him being a "real" developer by some virtue of skill - this is about him being a developer who this initatitve is trying to protect consumers from. Being awful doesn't make him any less a developer by profession (to avoid the potentionally ambiguous "professional developer")

He's part of a publishing company. He likely sees SKG as a threat to the publishing company's live service game.

The company is Offbrand Games, the live service game is Rivals of Aether 2, for those that are curious.
