What's going on at Blizzard that causes their devs to behave like this? They're so consistently narcissistic and toxic that it seems like Blizzard selects them for having that type of personality. There isn't another developer on the planet that has such a strong commitment to disrespecting their players. From "Don't you guys have phones?" to this guy, it's like they genuinely believe that all of their customers owe them love and worship for releasing a product.
Are there other developers that have this type of culture? It seems so strange to me.

He is a little bitch about people getting into his stuff, seeing how smug he was about the steam achievements anticheat.
His code is NOWHERE near yanderedev tier, but its also nothing special.
People shit themselves over if statements because they don't know code.
The only complaint about his code that made any sense I ever saw was someone here not liking how he laid everything out to be visually easier to check out for his quest flags, when it could have been done in 20 lines of obscure ugly ass code that would have made it a cryptic but "typing efficient" thing.

His LACK of games finished is far more telling.

When Blizzard first announced Diablo Immortal (an IP that fans really wanted another entry for) they received a ton of backlash because it was initially a mobile-phone exclusive title. People were so unhappy that they nearly got booed off the stage. When asked if it would ever be ported to PC, Wyatt Cheng clearly wanted to ignore the question and stopped himself mid-way through asking "Are there any other questions?" to tell the attendee that they would not port it to PC. Resulting in more crowd anger.

Blizzard did end up porting Immortal to PC and it was very successful.

No it means that I think we're experiencing the results of late-stage capitalism and desperately need to make strides towards developing effective social programs and lay out the foundation for before the inevitable over-automatization of labor.
"Leftist" as a descriptor has been heavily warped by both twitter-leftists and alt-righters. I guess the phrase that would make more sense is Soc-Dem or Labor-Left.
While I think race-based conflict and gender wars are major problems that we need to address, I don't carry much priority for them personally.

>>714716726

>the youtube man told me this guy is evil

well done lil bro, you saved vidya james

>>714715254 (OP)
It's interesting since he wasn't a real dev, and every bit of evidence pointing to his career history seems to point to the fact that he has had zero developer/programming experience even in his education. He did QA and most likely was part of the majority that did zero actual dev work for it, and he did security shit through social engineering, no coding, just verbally manipulating people to test them and checking if people were physically leaving easy access around. Even his accolades in DEFCON were done in large teams. And he exposes his code every day on stream. His games code is shit, his Minecraft (((but not Minecraft woah!!!) server's code is done by other people but he constantly just sits there staring at the code, messing with one line an hour as he reads his chat and listens to donations.

He somehow got the ego part of a Blizzard developer without even being a real dev. That's impressive. But who knows what's in the water over at Blizzard.

>>714716084
maybe. if you work professionally it's possible you do most of your dev in private enterprise vc instances (enterprise gitlab, etc), so you might have a pretty empty github unless you also love to code outside of work, which many devs don't.

>>714716521
there is a twiter post about this, how you could not follow some ideas taht we consider left wing, idk what example was given, lets say something about workers rights, and be still considered a lefty, but if you said taht you didnt support migrants you were rejected by the left, so thats what the left is

>>714716445
2nd valid complaint: he names all his dialog options as numbers instead of names. instead of doing something like
>getDialog (ItemShopkeeper.Greetings);
>getDialog (ItemShopkeeper.ExitStore);
its
>getDialog (3745);
>getDialog (3762);
so whenever he goes back to look at old code its impossible to tell whats going on without parsing through the list of 10,000 strings of dialog

>>714716941
it was financially successful. made like 200 million dollars in the first month of launch and continues to make a million dollars per day

>>714716445
>People shit themselves over if statements because they don't know code.
For me against Pirate, it's the fact he uses a switch statement on a condition that only has two states, and one of those states just calls a break to the switch. It's LoC bloat for the sake of it.

>>714716445
>but its also nothing special.
no, its bad. and idgaf about magic number or naming convention or whatever. he shows a fundamental lack of understanding about basic flow control and data structure, even from that one screenshot of his code.

if that were the work of a compsci 101 dev, understandable. if a junior dev with even 2 years of professional experience submitted a pr with this code, i would immediately recommend said dev be pip'd out.

>>714717579
he used comments instead next to those lines, dude.
given his layout he could ctrl+f his code to find his shit again.

what would matter more is if he was using all of it in an array of ints or not.
integer arrays are far more "efficient" in their operations than arrays of strings, which is what that might have been.
the guy complaining about the code I saw was talking about using enum instead, and that is a bit beyond my very modest level.

>>714717579
He comments everything which means it don't matter that much, and whether that is optimization or not depends on what gamemaker does during the compile step.
If its not good then
>ItemShopkeeper.Greetings
has one access in it before going to the index versus just going directly to the index via the number.

>>714717849
unless you actually detail things I will assume you are a retard who doesn't know shit because when we had threads on this the vast majority of people who were vague about this like you didn't know SHIT about what actually mattered with his code and thought if statements were the devil.

You lost.

You threw everything you had, doctored clips, dogshit speculation, a five-alarm Discord outrage campaign and what happened? Pirate Software is still standing. Still live. Still making games. Still getting love in chat. You tried to bury a dude for disagreeing with your astroturf LARP and ended up making him a martyr.

You had the whole internet behind you. Twitter rage threads, streamers doing hour-long hitpieces, fake DMs, Redditors high on “activism.” And still nothing stuck. No sponsors dropped. No platforms banned him. No employees turned. Just you, seething in the shadow of your own failed cancellation.

And now? SKG's lost the plot. You turned a preservation movement into a screeching mob, and now everyone’s bailing before it becomes full-blown harassment optics. You're GamerGate with a worse logo.

You played yourself.

Thor didn’t need to outlast you. You burned yourselves out with your own hysteria. You gave him more viewers. You proved everything he said about weaponized fandom. He lives rent-free in your heads while you shriek into void threads praying someone finally takes him down.

He won. You lost. He gets to keep building something. You get to keep refreshing this thread, hoping he slips. He won't.

enums are a funny one, I have a inherent distrust of them since at a glance they normally look like they are active during runtime with an access, but attempt to fill the same niche as macros do which are handled during the compile step, they are also a occurrence in mostly JIT languages
I guess it would be worth seeing/testing the implementation of enums from language to language to make sure you aren't cucking yourself.

you genuinely think he moved up from QA to a game developer on starcraft 2 while he was still in his early 20s? How old do you think he is? He was barely out of college by the time wings of liberty released, not taking into account that the actual work on the game is done years before launch.

>>714718550
>With this code talk, I guess I want to ask what is the best way to handle dialogue, node trees with markers of previous and next nodes?
graph, linked list, or node trees, basically a ton of options depending on your usecase except what pirate was doing - which is a fucking switch statement against an array, which is what i was getting at >>714717849

If we are going to go back to fundamentals, the primary thing that matters is a project is released in some form.
Which thor has not done.

All projects are failures unless they get released, and after that its always going to be degrees of success, but always a success in some form.

>>714718971
if you want to shift the goalposts sure.
I agree with you on this, and already said that his lack of finished products is far more telling.
He has zero worth ethic for coding.

>>714718658
Figured that. I would probably think with my limited knowledge of game programming that you would want a robust dialogue system that you could boiler plate onto any set of choices or dialogue trees a player may traverse so that the only thing the game would need to do afterwards is read the file where the dialogue itself is stored.

>>714719046
Its not shifting the goalposts, releasing something is the key point of failure marked on the tombstones of a gorillion gamedevs.
You can see constant projects arise and fail to release because the dev gets sidetracked in even the threads here regularly.

>>714718082

this cannot be overstated, he was never a developer at blizzard. he started his career as a QA tester and then when he finally escaped from that entry level shitter job he become a GM (game janny) which is funny because that is also an entry level shitter job. this is why he slurps real developers so much, he desperately wants to be accepted as a game developer and he needs to retcon his experience at blizzard so that he was a developer there rather than a downstream jeet tier tester/janny because his other """developer""" experience is some sort of """automation""" job at amazon game studios which sounds suspiciously like an entry level jeet tier devops role. this is why he larps so hard about his time at blizzard, one of the biggest vidya companies in the world. he has never developed anything of note in a game, he has always been on the peripheries of game development doing jobs that are related to game dev but also have nothing to do with making the game itself from either a creative or technical perspective.
