Does anyone else find it suspicious that there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures? (sh.itjust.works)

As the title suggests, over the last couple of days there's been an influx of doomer comments over the SKG petition. While it's fine to disagree, I'm finding it suspicious that there weren't comments like this posted a week or 2 ago

Perhaps, which I think is really unfortunate. I think he misread or misunderstood what the petition was about, and doubled down instead of taking a step back.

But he's not going to be making a bunch of accounts on random message boards like Lemmy to try to kill it. The more reasonable argument is that some of his fans and other people who disagree w/ the petition are attacking it, not that he or the games industry cares enough to come here and spread FUD, I think regular people are dumb and emotional enough to do that for them.

    Do you have specific examples of him making multiple accounts to amplify a message? If so, that would certainly change my opinion of him and would explain a lot of the unsubstantiated claims made here.

    I don't consider this as evidence, but maybe you find it entertaining: https://youtu.be/1YYNAruSye4

    I'm not concerned with it. I've looked into it a bit, and it seems like PirateSoftware ruined his own reputation. It just took his very visible cockup in that WoW raid for people to realize that he lies a lot and refuses to acknowledge when he's wrong.

    Possibly. I'm not going to speculate on that because it's not really important.

    But he's not going to be making a bunch of accounts on random message boards like Lemmy to try to kill it.

    I doubt it as well. I'm more suspicious of corporate astroturfing. And Lemmy isn't too small of a target for it, since astroturfing is pretty cheap.
