I know these rarely have any sway with our governments and there is more important things in the world atm, but it's getting close to the end now and it's worth a reminder.

The streamer critic is a former Blizzard employee known as Pirate Software, who apparently is developing a live service game (citation needed)

    Been kinda disappointed with Pirate software recently. He positioned himself as super knowledgeable but then makes mistakes. Of course, everyone makes mistakes, but then he kinda just doubles down when he shouldn't sometimes.

    My guess is that because he became quite popular quickly, he jumped into just pumping out content as fast as possible without giving himself time to properly research and investigate stuff.

    I don't know about developing, but he's certainly involved in a live service-ish game called Rivals of Aether 2 as "Director of Strategy", whatever the hell that is. His name is listed in the game's credits (video). He comes up at around 01:57 mark. Really bums me out too, because I like that game :(

    Yeah that’s the one. It’s sad that people take what guys like this say at face value. He’s obviously got ulterior motives (own live service game in the works and/or paid by industry) to oppose regulation that would only benefit game enthusiasts.
