Oh my god I hate that pirate software guy. He started popping up on my youtube and he is the most annoying know it all I have ever seen on there (i'm being dramatic) and his takes are so bad. He is seemingly very pro drm and pro live service games.
Just a heads up, a lot of his anti-piracy measures in his games are things like using the achievement system in steam to track your progress and stuff like that. So if you pirate them it checks for your achievements for that game, which you are unable to get, and then fucks with your ability to progress in the game.
every libertarian thinks they're Luffy when they're Blackbeard down to the fucking bone. truly sickening individuals. repulsive ideology that turns all it touches into unadulterated misery. the only pearly gates they will behold are the ones to the temple on Little St. James
you don't UNDERSTAND you DONT GET IT it's HIP to PLEDGE FEALTY TO FAANG COMPANIES it's SUBVERSIVE to DO VIGILANTISM ON HOMELESS PEOPLE it's ALT to EXPLOIT DEVELOPING BRAINS FOR MAXIMUM AD REVENUE i'm WITH IT i'm THE COUNTERCULTURE i'm THE DISRUPTOR i'm REBELLING i'M THE REVOLUTION AND I'M THE FUCKING GRIM REAPER! I'M MY OWN KING!I'M MY OWN GOD! DEATH FOR THE MARKET. DEATH FOR ELON. KILL FOR ELON. EVERYONE ELSE AGREES WITH ME, THEY KNOW IT DEEP DOWN. I'M THE VOCAL MINORITY SPEAKING FOR THE SILENT MAJORITY. I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU IF YOU SHARE WITH PEOPLE
i saw a short of this guy saying he hates mr robot because apparently the production team stole his code without crediting him to use in one of the episodes, weird story
To be fair, and I fucking hate the guy, they took information from a cryptography write-up about Defcon that included someone's personal phone number, which resulted in the guy getting flooded with calls
Now why the fuck a "security analyst" like Thor didn't think to sanitze his fucking text is another question entirely
This is because he was, despite his mythologizing, not very good at his job. He was a nepo hire, and basically got paid to prank people and call it security testing.
In theory, that can help tighten security, but in reality, it only marginally helps, because (and say it with me) the vast majority of leaks and security breachs are internal, from disgruntled employees, and Blizzard was/is a really, really crappy place to work, something that Thor himself literally acknowledges.
And he says this despite also mythologizing the CEO that much of the bad shit happened under, blaming middle management for 'obscuring the vision', as if CEO's aren't also blood-sucking reptiles more than half the time.
Most of this stuff is in his YouTube shorts, which is where I first ran into him. He has a lot of cute ferret content, but things just started adding up over the way he presented things and his strange takes. If you have the patience to go through his content, it's all there out in the open. He doesn't obfuscate, he just always has good spin on things, and isn't quite able to put it together when he's fucked something up because he has lived an incredibly charmed life.
I will say, one of the things he said that has always stuck with me is that Blizzard usually makes more money on a single WoW mount drop, than they have for the entire existence of SC2. Which explains why WoW is still garbage despite years of tweaks and overhauls.
Edit: He really loves making diagrams, as if it adds an extra layer of truth to whatever he's saying. Probably convincing to a layman or someone who hasn't worked in corporate America for a long time, but it's just like, 'You aren't saying anything complex, you don't need a diagram for it.'

BECAUSE HE PUBLISHES THOSE GAMES.
I really can't stand the guy.
Rant over.
I will pirate his games simply out of spite. Won’t even dignify it by launching it

Steam, not even once.
Pirate Software? Yes, I think I will

Do you have any details about this? It genuinely sounds interesting.

I remember him diagraming his wage for his "this is why Blizzard needs a union" short and he literally just wrote the numbers he just said.
I think he probably does it for the thumbnails. People are more likely to click if they see an inscrutable diagram. I know I am...
It’s easier to follow if your English is not that good tbqh
That's fair, but also probably not why he's doing it
Because everyone in the industry is either a script kiddie or a disenfranchised sysadmin who is in the process of de-technifying their personal lives.
Security wankers are the fucking worst as well.
I've only ever seen him promote the Blizzard union, good to know that's basically the only thing he's good on
I first encountered him through a HealthyGamerGG stream and I thought he was an insufferable tech bro dork
