sp3ctr4lWait untill people realize that Ross Scott has had a running show, ‘Freeman’s Mind’, going back to basically the fucking machinima days, where he just does a playthrough of all of Half Life and voices Gordon’s inner thoughts.
Its still on his youtube channel!
We are going to need another petition to get Ross an honorary title, a goddamned bust of an upraised fist in an HEV suit, clenching a crowbar, with ‘For Exceptional Valor and Dutiful Service in the Defense of Video Gaming’ emblazoned on its base.
I remember Freeman’s Mind, but I have no idea who any of the people in those pictures are.
Ross is the dude with long hair and laser eyes.
Holy shit that’s him ?
He my hero now
He my hero now
I came for Freeman’s Mind, stayed for the Game Dungeon, got deadgamepilled in the process.
I highly recommend checking all of his stuff out.
Killer_TreeSame! The next step is watching his monthly proof-of-life video chats while working on other stuff 😅
I kinda wish his next videochat is just him opening up a bottle of champagne, drinking it all without saying a word and that’s it =D
Whats wrong with PirateSoftware? He runs a ferret rescue which doesn’t claim any tax incentives and he teaches people about security and ethics, I’ve never heard of him having beef with anyone.
Yeah he seems pretty positive and helpful, so did his bias mislead him on this one?
Also I wasn’t even sure he was still a huge fan of his former employer—but now that I think of it I guess he was really pleased with his time there, cuz he’s proud of his ban wave strategies and stuff
He tends to be condescending, toxic, and dishonest. I happened to watch this video the other day that covers a fair bit of stuff including the stop killing games petitions, if you’ve got 20 minutes.

Things like
- completely misrepresenting the stop killing games initiative.
- bitching for quite a while that “someone” pulled a mob during a world of warcraft raid causing a wipe, going back to see who it was to remove them, seeing it was himself and then justifying why it was now the right call.
- running away from his group in world of warcraft in a fight claiming he has no mana, while he’s wasting moves to drain the last of his mana and he has ways of getting around half of it back. This was during some kind of creater guild thing where if you die you lose your character. So abandoning his team to save himself and lying about it.
- banning/blocking everyone who criticizes or corrects him on these things
- DMCA’d and threatened legal action on an indie dev for a parody game that included him as a cockroach.
The PirateSoftware Unraveling (ft. a Game Developer)
Chris LowlesThat video was really good, felt kinda Drew Gooden-esque in parts.
Never meet your heroes ig
Pirate has a history of, grooming, digital labor theft, lying, sexism, scamming, being an asshole, to name a few things.
Hell his current persona isn’t even his first one. He never actually worked on blizzards security team, he was a support staff. Half his stories have been proven to be lies.
About the only thing that’s true is family connections got him a job there.
But the man his a raging narcissist and a grifter. The whole pirate software persona is just his latest grift.
Everyone has beef with him literally everyone. But he makes sure to ban from anything he can to keep them out of his chat or other places his community gathers.
Hes been grifting lying and grooming since second life. He just changes his name and moves to a new community when shit blows up in his face and it becomes too much of a problem.
His entire professional shtick is to make sure people don’t learn about his past and to lie and make himself look good
Is this about the WoW incident? Or dit something else happen?
He has made videos and numerous comments directing his audience not to sign, claiming it will kill games.
Than he has really lost it. Leaving a game that people paid for in a playable state is the least a developer/publisher can do.
