        You do understand that on Steam if you have 50% or more negative reviews, it is a "Mostly Negative" and puts people off even trying. Bad reviews can have a serious effect on sales. 10 negative reviews in millions is nothing, 10 negative reviews alongside 10 positive is detrimental. It's all about the percentage and indie games work at a different scale. I'm unsure what the point about working for Blizzard means. You'll have to elaborate.

        On Steam you can report review bombing events to have the reviews struck from the list so... And the working at blizzard line is mocking Thor for literally never shutting the fuck up about his nepobaby job.

                  I most often hear it pronounced you-bun-too. But it is oo-boon-too.

                        Really? Most games I played in my life were pirated software.

                          What you're saying is true, that not knowing how to pronounce aloud a word you've only ever read is not some kind of 100% surefire sign you're a bigot or anything like that. It just means, as you say, that you've never heard it said aloud. But... that also means you never bothered to look up how it is pronounced (its on wikipedia, the actual Godot devs have videos of them saying it, etc)... and it does also mean you presumably are also unfamiliar with Waiting for Godot. So I would say you are also 'uncultured' in that way, but of course, simply being uncultured doesn't make one a bigot. You could just not have the time, money, etc, to have seen the play before. In all seriousness, I do strongly recommend seeing the actual play, probably you could find a dramatic reading / radio drama version of it somewhere on the net, or even a full video captured performance of it on a forgotten youtube channel or the Internet Archive. I... don't know that its ever been adapted as a proper movie, perhaps a film snob can appear and call me uncultured, haja!

                            Not that I'm aware of, but if you wanna start one, it might be a good idea to not fill it with fabricated quotes that remove all the surrounding context.

                              His defense of Godot and his stance on the attacks, seem very reasonable and correct: [Clip 1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enJByy6VRe8), [Clip 2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enJByy6VRe8). Nothing like what you remember, OP. Separating from Off Brand Games to protect them of the fallout of his opinions and public exposure also seems like a correct decision.

                                Exactly, _seems_ competent. But only seems, he's a narcissistic nepobaby who just can't admit he's in the wrong be it in video games or real life. I just can't understand why anyone would follow a piece of shit like him

                                    Enough with the pitchforks. Musk is a Nazi, Thor is just an idiot. There is a difference. Boycott who you want, but don't make this a vendetta for life. Petition is through, Thor got what he deserved. Case closed.

                                    Uhh? I don't agree with them that it's that big of a deal but he did a lot more than being an idiot, he tried (and almost succeeded) to kill a petition that many people dedicated months of their life to because he's a narcissist who refuses to change his opinion, and he would very clearly do it again if given the chance. I would say pitchforks are justified.

                                        OP is mistaken. PirateSoftware defended Godot official and pointed out the actual perpetrator of hate was a mod of an unofficial fan discord. Someone else posted a clip of it in this thread.

                                          You might be right, but I don't believe you have any frame of reference to determine that he's not competent. How much of his actual work have you reviewed?
