    I didn’t even know who this person was. So, after reading some comments:

    • Goes by thor/pirate software on youtube, has a channel and also streams
    • Is a narcissistic asshole who cannot be wrong, ever
    • Apparently has developed some games, including one “impossible to pirate”
    • Was respected until he decided to talk bullshit about Stop Killing Games (that’s the SKG), dunking on Louis Rossman
    • Already had some pretty shitty takes before that

      I’ve also seen it said that he is “my uncle works at Nintendo” credentials personified. But I can’t be assed to verify it. Just another streamer people shouldn’t even know the name of to me

        He used to work at Blizzard.

        He caught flak for something that happened while streaming hardcore WoW. People accused him of not using frost magic to help others escape a botched raid. A lot of people made jokes “what you fail to understand is that Thor didn’t need to cast Blizzard because he worked there for 8 years.”

      And apparently he played a match if WoW where he goofed up and let a bunch of his team mates die and then got defensive about it to a foolish degree when called out instead of just saying yeah I made a mistake and laughing it off
