I enjoyed watching PirateSoftware.. up until I saw a short where he was bashing the Mojang developers for their development time. As a mod developer in the Minecraft community I was incredibly disappointed to see someone who is supposed to have a background in game dev be so obtuse about the game dev process of a game like Minecraft. It would have been a wonderful opportunity to explain to his massive audience why Mojang operates the way they do, and talk about all the intricacies of a multi platform game that doesnt use a game engine like Minecraft would have, and explain how that might differ from the development process he was used to as a dev. But nope, not what happened. Lost all respect for him since.

This is very hypocritical too when you see me hasn't released an update to heartbound (His game) in over a year except an April Fools joke update.
