I could talk for weeks about the sheer nepotistic corrupt bullshit in the early years, when an Ayn Rand roleplaying group (not kidding, they were called "Taggart Transdimensional") got unique advantages from the devs that no one else could access all in the name of "roleplaying." They conjured up fictional characters that gave those advantages (the very first and exclusive t2 mining laser blueprint originals) to their Randroid favorites, and over and over again changed the rules to fit their favorites, year after year.
The dystopian corruption of the setting was coming from inside the development company.
That was pointlessly hostile.
I haven't played that game in over a decade. In fact I quit around the "Tyrannus" expansion.
The "you mad bro" was a reference to that era and the piracy, ganking, goon swarm wars that were part of the game.
That's dubious, but okay. It set off a "totally not fan and totally doesn't care" stan that stanned very hard for CCP in this thread all the same.
I'm not going to play "no real Scotsman". I loved that game, my best IRL friends are all from that game but we all moved on like most do.
I would just guess you had a different experience and that's why my comment felt hostile. We memed hard and frequented the forums and failheapchallenge.
I only read about it from afar now. That's entertaining anyway, especially the Knudsen 5 hour video treatment.

Go shove grass up your butt
I remember now, "Teapot" is still enraged, weeks later, over what I said about developers getting abused by working conditions around recent Mortal Kombat games. The hypocrisy about "touching grass" is amazing here, as is the "u mad" Redditism.

lmao imagine shilling for the worst fighting game developer
The same Epic
is now defending the fucking devs of EVE Online who have been corrupt and manipulative in their own game for decades with thorough and expansive documentation.
Does @Teapot@hexbear.net even have leftist takes, at all, or is he here to be a toxic fanboy for every rich corpo within bootlicking reach?
It seemed, weeks ago, that you were previously trying to come across as a boilerplate "nothing offends you and other people's feelings don't matter" type, performatively and loudly not caring about anything... until of course someone happens to criticize the emotionally traumatizing working conditions that went into making a video game. That's real shit for you, isn't it?

Are you claiming that you've been a toxic stan for both games' corporations just on a whim?
Liar. You care a whole lot considering how you've been dragging on your "totally not a fan" rage.
Do. You. Even. Have. Leftist. Takes. At. All?
New around here?
"Teapot" is still enraged over what I said, weeks ago, about developers getting abused by working conditions around recent Mortal Kombat games. The hypocrisy about "touching grass" smugposting is amazing here, as is the "u mad" Redditism.
It's really wild that you have "fans" that follow you around through alts.
You haven't even been back that long, and they're already back at it
It wasn't even a deep dive; it was on the first page of his post history, reminding me that he's still enraged about me talking about bad game company practices.
Look what's happening here: more rage about me talking about bad game company practices.
Is that Epic
even a leftist at all?

What is even the point of rehashing this besides some strange Reddity hostility?
You first, especially considering your Reddity tantrum just now.
Oh, I remember now. You're still enraged at me talking about the recent Mortal Kombat games being made under coercively abusive conditions that made some people making them seek therapy for what they went through.
For real, you really need to take your own advice, especially since your tantrum is over another video game, and that tantrum started weeks ago.
