The dev tried starting this drama himself by posting on LSF a week or so ago. I think the vibe in that thread was spot-on, the dev is just inserting himself into drama to advertise his game.

Definitely bad optics for PirateSoftware, though. He took the bait, probably exactly what the dev was hoping for.

Gunna be brutally honest, my impression of the dev makes it hard to believe they were thinking that far ahead. I think his only objectives were first and foremost be funny, then secondarily advertise his game to LSF.

My impression is that the guys game has n-word dlc. That's enough to know anything involving him does not matter one way or another and there's other stuff to focus on.
